High GD community, Week 8, Sweet Thai doing fine, but trips got to her 2, like all other plants, and now its waiting for the predatory bugs to arrive and do their thing. I think the best way ist to wait for the bugs to arrive, get them at work for minimum 2 says and only at that time, ill switch to 13/11. If everything comes on time, maybe thursday, but friday should be the goal. Ive ordered 100 bugs, needing 5 to 10 at each plant, so it will just fit the needs. When the trips invasion is defeated, the bugs need pollen to survive, so the small flowers in the plantmix is a plus for that. That will be it for this week boys and girls, Thanks for reading and passing by, Grow safe buds and feel free to check out my other ladies doing fine, 🙏🌿🌿🌿🙏

Hi today I realized that the plant is a male, and it came out autoflowering being an f2 of DonDiablo that in F1 a cross of a photodependent female and an autoflowering male there was a 25% chance that it develops if an autoflowering, but or decided not to keep it because I don't like autoflowering plants very much and I want to get it to become competent photodependent so later I will put other seeds in the hope that they come out photodependent

Day 44 – Steady March into Flowering The journey continues! Although the weather remains inconsistent — with chilly mornings, bursts of afternoon sun, and cold nights — this lady refuses to be held back. She’s thriving confidently in her super soil blend, nourished solely with pH-balanced tap water, and showing no signs of slowing down. Her foliage has become lush and expansive, acting like solar panels eagerly soaking in every bit of light they can capture between the clouds. New growth is vigorous, and the pre-flowering signs are now clearly taking shape, promising a smooth transition into full bloom. The top node is beginning to stack, and those early pistils are spreading — a sure sign she’s enjoying her environment. Although nighttime temperatures have dipped, she’s been strong enough to remain outdoors under the open sky. To protect her from the sneaky slug patrol, I’ve elevated her above ground level — a small tactic, but one that keeps her canopy untouched and flourishing. There’s something uniquely rewarding about this outdoor grow — it’s low-cost, hands-on, and deeply satisfying. While indoor tents offer more control, nothing beats adapting to nature’s rhythm and still achieving such healthy development. Much credit goes to FastBuds.com for the genetics. This girl is showing impressive resilience, structure, and poise — exactly what you want in a CBD-dominant auto. Can’t wait to transform this harvest into some rich, therapeutic CBD oil. One step closer each day! Day 46 – Thriving Naturally Under Open Skies This lady continues to prove that sometimes, less is truly more. I’ve kept things as simple and natural as possible — no synthetic nutrients, no grow tents, no artificial stimulation. Just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a super soil blend I mixed myself months ago. The result? A strong, healthy, and surprisingly resilient plant that now towers confidently at over 60 cm and is embracing her flowering phase with grace. Yesterday brought a refreshing rainfall — and while some might worry about outdoor exposure, this girl clearly enjoyed every drop. Her leaves were glistening with energy this morning as the sun returned, and the vibrant growth is undeniable. It’s moments like these that remind me why I chose an outdoor grow: nature takes care of its own when we provide the right foundation. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to keep her outside right through to harvest. With the summer sun still ahead, she’s got the best part of the season to stretch, stack, and swell those buds. Massive appreciation to FastBuds.com — the genetics are absolutely spot on for a low-maintenance grower like myself. Reliable, vigorous, and beautiful to watch evolve. No gimmicks. No stress. Just sun, soil, and the will to grow. Day 49 – Battle-Tested by Nature, Still Standing Tall What a wild few days it’s been! Heavy rain and strong winds put my lady through her first proper trial. At one point she even took a tumble from her pedestal and bent slightly under the pressure. But if there’s one thing that’s become crystal clear — Fast Buds genetics are made of iron. 💪 Despite the rough weather, she’s bounced back beautifully. Today the skies have cleared, and the sunshine has returned — and so has her posture. Her leaves are once again reaching outward with confidence, showing no signs of stress or damage. It’s moments like these that make outdoor cultivation so rewarding. There’s no hiding from the elements out here — it’s all about adaptability, resilience, and harmony with nature. My growing technique remains deliberately minimalistic: no artificial feeds, no grow tents, no special shelters — just pure rain, sunlight, and my homemade super soil blend. The goal is to let nature take the lead, and so far, she’s doing a brilliant job. If you’re thinking of trying an outdoor grow and want something straightforward yet satisfying, I can’t recommend FastBuds.com genetics enough. They’ve created a line that genuinely thrives even under less-than-ideal conditions. We’ve now passed the 7-week mark, and I’m more convinced than ever that this grow will finish strong, under open skies — just the way I envisioned. 🌿☀️

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos y también a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾👍 Este es un relato semanal de técnicas, experiencias de cultivo y Bio preparados orgánicos caseros, los cuales llevo experimentando dos años en cultivos de marihuana interior. Esta semana voy a escribir sobre: CARBÓN VEGETAL ACTIVADO CON MICROORGANISMOS DE MONTAÑA. esta es una práctica avanzada pues al menos se necesita tener el inóculo sólido de Microorganismos de Montaña (MMS), aunque al final intentaré dar otras opciones para aquellos que no tengan MMS. Puedes consultar en la semana 3 la manera de hacer Microorganismos de Montaña Sólidos (MMS): https://growdiaries.com/diaries/134104-grow-journal-by-defharo/week/725879 El carbón vegetal es un excelente componente para toda clase se mezclas de sustrato, tiene varias propiedades muy interesantes, ayuda a la estructuración del suelo y la creación de humus, es un regulador térmico en lugares fríos, favorece la expansión de las raíces y su estructura de microporos promueve la retención de humedad y nutrientes, se dice que en 1cm cúbico de carbón puede contener de 8 a 30 millones de Microorganismos. Y es precisamente la propiedad de retención de humedad y nutrientes, de la que se aprovecha esta práctica. El carbón vegetal llamado "activado" que se usa en filtros de agua o aire, tiene mala fama entre los aficionados a las peceras, porque se dice que roba nutrientes, principalmente Nitrógeno, esto tiene una explicación y no es un problema para cultivo en macetas, el carbón seco tiende a absorber humedad y los nutrientes que se encuentra en el sustrato o en los riegos, porque es muy poroso, y de repente, tiene que saturar todos sus microporos, pero esto apenas va a tener incidencia en un cultivo. En mi caso lo que hago es mezclar el carbón con los Microorganismos Sólidos y después lo humedezco con agua y melaza para activar la Microbiología del inóculo, dándole la energía necesaria, de esta manera tengo un carbón inoculado con Microorganismos de Montaña, y una vez en el sustrato, con humedad, estos MM, se propagarán. En este caso el carbón, de momento, no captura nutrientes porque está saturado, pero después de unos riegos, será la casa perfecta donde los Microorganismos y los nutrientes convivirán ofreciendo una fuente extra de nutrientes, para que las raíces se alimenten en periodos de escasez de alimento o humedad. Supongo que quien tenga inóculos bacterianos comerciales, podría usar esta práctica para multiplicarlos. INGREDIENTES BÁSICOS: Agua pura: 500ml Carbón vegetal, para usarlo en macetas conviene que los trozos de carbón no sean grandes. 750 gramos. Melaza: 75g Microorganismos de Montaña Sólidos (MMS): 225g PROCEDIMIENTO: Se mezcla el carbón y los Microorganismos sólidos. Se disuelve la melaza en el agua. Se humedece el carbón lentamente, mezclándolo bien, porque el carbón vegetal puede almacenar mucha humedad y necesita tiempo para saturarse. Se guarda a oscuras durante un mes en un recipiente cerrado. Hasta aquí la fórmula básica, yo hago algunos añadidos, como se puede ver en las fotos. Añado 260g de Leonardita, que es un carbón vegetal con millones de años y en el proceso de convertirse en mineral, aunque todavía no lo es, es además, la mayor fuente de ácidos húmicos y comparte las propiedades del carbón. Añado Microorganismos de Montaña Activados (MMA) de forma líquida para aumentar la inoculación de microbiología, también un lacto fermento de frutas que aporta muchas vitaminas, nutrientes y enzimas... en la última foto se ve el recipiente después de un mes. Siguiendo el principio de saturación previa de los poros del carbón, para mezclas de sustratos, y sin tener acceso a microbiología, se podría, por ejemplo, saturar el carbón con alguna mezcla nitrogenada para el comienzo del cultivo, después el carbón seguirá cumpliendo sus funciones de estructuración de suelos, creación de humus y para retener humedad y nutrientes. Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS A TODOS LOS CULTIVADORES... 🖐️👨‍🌾

Starting out week 7 the Auto Ultimate is really getting thick, I dont have a lot to compare it to but her buds are so much thicker and harder than the White Monster's The White Monster and Auto Ultimate both showed some problems on some of their leaves, mainly brown spots and yellowing. I checked the run off EC and pH and both seem fine and within range, my led lights were getting a bit close and most of the yellowing is on the areas closest to the light, so for now I assume light burn, I raised the light as high as possible and turned it down juuuuuust a bit. I will keep monitoring the plants as they progress through this week

Da ich nicht bedacht habe, dass die Lampe doch so viel Wärme abgibt, hat die kleine Dame kurzzeitig etwas viel Hitze abbekommen. Zum Glück ist es am nächsten Tag aufgefallen und ich konnte etwas gegensteuern, indem ich Die Lampen Leistung etwas runtergeschraubt und den Luftbefeuchter kontrolliert habe.

Continued growth, feeding every 3 days as soil dries out. Nice growth spurts noted and apical dominance broken via LST as limbs/new growth reach skyward. Minor fan leaf removal to permit light saturation and airflow to lower areas. Getting a little crowded! We will let the canopy grow towards the light another inch or 2 with minor LST adjustments or at 2 weeks from now (which ever happens first,) before we will make the decision to flip to flower cycle. Feeding 3/5 gallon per plant about every 3 days.
