Still on point. Starting to get things dialed in after a big new move. Started 2 more lemon Zkittles 2 Cinderella Jacks and 2 more Think Different. Love DUTCH Passion! Pots are full of lime, earthworm castings (Lots) feather meal fish meal phosphorus... starting to smell. A buddy grew lemon skittles (Kix) and does it stink. Love it.

This orange cookie is a shining example of dutchfem genetics , I do the same thing in the same conditions every time and dutchfem plants come out on top every time . Massive yields , chunky phatness, and solid handling all sort of conditions. I’ve had low temps of 8c and a heatwave of 40c and she’s handled everything thrown at her and continues to pile on the weight. A few weeks to go still and I’m happy as with what’s coming, she’s got this citrus tone and a cookie sweetness to her already. I clipped a few lower buds off for a preview in a few days ( not that you could notice, she’s huuge) . Keeping the feeds up and gearing up for a mad harvest.

BEAST has done well this week. She is really starting to stack up the buds and the frost is already coming on strong and she already smells quite potent. I am watering with 10 gallons every 2-3 days. She is a thirsty beast!! I am willing to bet this plant will put what sweet seeds says it yields to the test!! Onward!! 😎🍿🍻🌱

Might be heading for trouble, cut to half dose…. Looking through some other grow diaries and seeing most people feeding at about half or less of the recommended AN feed schedule. Other than a small cal mag def early, which was fixed very easily with 2 foliar sprays, this plant has done pretty good with full recommended dose, until this week!! Flushed 3 litres through at 1/4 dose nutes full 2ml/L-cal/mag then started a half dose week 3 flower sched. If probelms persist then I will flush again and try 1/4 dose. Added humidifier back into room to keep humidity at 55 Removed net and defoliated, moved her room mate to my closet to give her light and space for the final weeks coming up. Further investigation and troubleshooting has me thinking she may actually be into a potassium deficiency, the odd thing about that is the AN nutes I am running suggest using “big bud” as an enhancer supplement. The strange part is that my lowered nute concentration still included a full dose of both “big bud” and “bud candy”. I was not willing to forfeit the benefits of those two supplements over the base nutes in this recipe. So. This week I will feed at %50 base nutes and full supplements of cal/mag and Bud Candy but will up my Big Bud a smidge and maybe another smidge more if combined efforts of revised nutes and extra space/air/light dont achieve desired results. I am also planning a fairly heavy defoliation, maybe end of week if she bounces back enough. A generous amount of frost starting to show, I will pull the microlense out for some trichome development pictures this week. Limping into the finish line it looks like. But She will be harvested. Heading into coast mode for now, just gonna ride her out and see what happens. There will be some bud there to be proud of.

So at the start of week 3 I began to LST CM#3 to just experiment basically and topped CM#2 I believe. Again, just to experiment. This is my first grow and I was stunned with the reactions to both! The new growth after topping was about 1/4” in about 12hrs.. Crazy to me and the lst is proving to expose these bud sites and encourage amazing growth QUICK!! I’ll continue to train daily. One of the videos show the topped CM just yesterday. In 4 days, it’s grown soo much! Also, a video mentions the gender reveal but since then, all 4 have officially revealed themselves as female at the 22 day mark.

* *********** Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination *********** * These girls have been continuing their growth this week and looking better all the time. GSC2 still slow though and will not have much yield. Her leaves have turned very dark this week due to lockouts I suspect. Her hairs are still very white and coming out pointy looking for pollen and swelling. GSC is still swelling and her buds are bigger at the end of the week. Purple colours also coming out in her. The big girl has done well being squished in the corner as I had to put the two in one tent this week. The frost in GSC has been coming out for the last two weeks and is really getting sticky this week. The pH is still crazy high for the girls but they are pushing through this issue and finishing up. These are very resilient plants and I am impressed with her vigour!! Still giving them feedings in the 3.0 pH range to help as her runoff is still coming in at mid 7’s......for both girls. GSC has been feed hard because her leaves have a nice pale colour, unlike GSC2, so keep her going and swelling. They were given a heavy watering of 8L each on day 71 to find out where the medium is. They were 7.9pH when started and last runoff was roughly 7.1pH......should have gone further to bring down more but stopped there so I didn’t flush out all of the feed since they have a couple fo weeks left. The hairs on GSC are turning more of a tan colour rather than snow white. I suspect she they have roughly this week plus another yet before thinking about harvest.......I see them going to 84 days roughly, 12 weeks. GSC bud sites are getting pointy this week. Added bamboo steaks to GSC to tie the long branches to and support her weight. GSC2 less so and are still looking more round as she continues to fill in her buds. GSC stems have been turning purple more and more this week. Suspect it is a combination of pH and stresses with temps. GSC2 was tied more this week as well to let more light in closer to the main stem. This paid off as well as she is stacking the lower points more. She, GSC2, has also paid a bit of a price over the last week because she was kept in the flower tent with other more mature girls. The environment in that tent was striving for 76 degrees and 51% humidity but GSC2 wants 82 degrees and 65% humidity........didn’t have much choice😢 Fast Buds has rocked this strain and dialled her in after the generations of breeding!! She is very frosty for an auto and had she been given the correct watering, she would be considered an easy grow In my opinion! The two girls are growing very different but that is grower related to transplant and not genetics. Awesome job Fast Buds......the girls are keeping me smiling......and scratching my head at the same time👍👍👍👍 Little more detail....... June 20/20 - Day 71 - 6L low ph flush of plain water @ 4.0 to bring down pH..........3L each girl. - Followed with a low pH feeding of 4L watering with Rezin, Liquid Wt, CalMag, B52 @ 2ml, Piranha @ 1ml, Voodoo @ 0.5ml/L, = 1170ppm and pH 4.4 - GSC1 tops are getting lots of purple in the bud. - GSC1 is filling in nicely and top leaves are starting to fade yellow. - GSC2 is dark😞 June 21/20 - Day 72 - continuing flush with 12L of plain water pH to 3.3 to bring down pH. - 6L given to each girl. - added bamboo stakes to pull GSC1 apart and open up the middle bud sites to more light. - GSC1 is 38" tall and 36" across now😀👍 - GSC2 is 20" tall and 24" wide👍 June 22/20 - Day 73 - 2L each watering with Rezin @ 1ml - hairs are turning more red and more white to tan now. - GSC1 is closer.....getting to home stretch soon. June 23/20 - Day 74 - 5L - Massive @ 3ml/L, Rezin & L.Weight & B52 @ 2ml/L, Vitathrive & Dual Fuel @ 1ml/L = 1110ppm - GSC 3L, GSC2 - 2L - they are getting close to the end so getting the last bits of everything into them😀 - noticing GSC1 top cola may start to bleach out a bit. - GSC2 feels like she has stalled. June 24/20 - Day 75 - watering 3L each with Massive & Terpinator @ 3ml/L, Rezin & Vita & L.Wt @ 2ml/L, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml/L, CalMag @ 1ml/L = 1385ppm and pH to 3.9...crazy! - moved the two girls together today as the other two are going into darkness now, they are done. June 25/20 - Day 76 - Dry out day - GSC is doing well with her buds filling in now and firming up. Top leaves are drying more. - GSC2 is dark.....F......plain water and not much more we can do. June 26/20 - Day 77 - 7L watering with Rezin and Sensyzime @ 2ml = 75ppm and pH at 4.0 - 4L given to GSC and 3L given to GSC2. - Staying with RO water now.......tap water appears to have been an issue. - too bad the ph was such an issue.....GSC would be a monster😞 - run off numbers in pots: GSC 7.6pH and 780ppm GSC2 7.6pH and 1850ppm (she has stalled) Awesome strain Fast Buds.......will be running her again!!!!!!

Overall a good week last week. Most comments are below. . 12/23 Day 90: While the first plant is drying I let the second plant continue to grow another week or so. The second plant is continuing to yellow. I have only been feeding it water and gave it some FloraKleen yesterday to begin the flushing. A few photo updates today. This one has not purpled at all compared to the other plant.

We reduced light hours from 20h to 18h..I know being this far in flower it sounds idiotic but we're trying to give them more down time to recover because we (well I did lol) burned the ever living crap out of a few of the babies at 18 inches, lesson learned..the SP-3000 is no joke, it's very intense.. we raised the light to 22" as well.. using autoflowers to dial in wasn't one of my brighter ideas but live and learn lol..besides, we have some killer photoperiod strains immediately on deck and this yield is still looking pretty good considering.. everyone is getting a (very) little bit of P,K and cal-mag with every watering..we're also adding a few ml of grow too.. all new growth has a great color...thanks for reading if you chose to do so and happy harvests everyone! ❤️ ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

I'd really like to try this strain again now that we've got distance set..despite the mishaps they still look like they'll give up a pretty good yield but I suspect it could of been bigger if we got that week and a half back ,but I can't be upset, at our row of good sized colas that look and smell fabulous! ❤️😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

Auto Melonade Runtz is growing tall🙌 She is now in safehouse bc weather is S**T But she is doing great, trichomes are forming so she is ready to sparkle👌 I added some pix of my shrooms grow, just for fun😉 (golden teachers-Fresh mushrooms kit, 10 days ..😋) Happy growing for all ✊ PS My 'weed supervisor/inspector', Rayita (AKA RAYA) has died on 3-08-2024 (RIP😿) she was 17 yrs old and the love of my life..😢 i miss her very much 🙏 But she has always joined me when i was making updates in my garden, and wanted 2b in the pix..And she was guarding the plants all day long too, in the HQ of my garden..(her catshack) so thats why i have put one last small photoshoot of her final resting place here😇👍 its an altar with her ashes and a small bottle of her fur coat, next and above my desk *PC*.. ,and my head 😸so she is still close and watching...😻

Permanent Marker has taken to the FIM last week. Looking nice and healthy, again a slight Nitrogen excess. Which will resolve itself without intervention. Provided no N is added into the nutrient soloution. I am actually considering super cropping the main stem on this one. Let's see next week how we are looking then. Here's what I did this week. Here is what I did this week. 12.9.25: I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 2ml Trace 💜 2ml Flourish PH: 6.5 PPM: 335 The fungus gnats have really incresed since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thank you for checking in this week, I'm very much looking forward to how she turns out. Sounds like a banger. See you in the comments 😁💚✌️🧡👌

Too much N is observed and also some heat as there is an heatwave again and inside the tent it was around 31 c°, i only used half dosis of iguana grow in a light mix and it still seems to be too much, the ppm was around 380 so not sure if its just heat stress, but i think they will be fine, i will just only give water the next week and apply some slow absorbing nutrients on the top of the soil, something like guanokalong or biobloom, im sure they will be fine 😁

Week 8(Veg) This week the LST’d, Biggie smalls the wife calls her 😀, plant is really doing well. Tons of tops starting to form. I’m really getting excited about this plant. The wife and I rearranged the closet that I’m growing in. It looks much better and it’s easier to use than before. Also it doesn’t look so half ass’d. Couple more weeks of veg for this girls and then she’s going to the grow tent and into bloom. The normal plant will just be a mother.

This week i had to do some supercropping cause some branches was to close of the light! It's seem the plants are not stressed 🤷‍♂️ We will see what's happen in the next weeks
