hi all. Here we are finally here with some of the ladies out and hanging to dry. It had been a fun week with trimming and hanging the Girl Scout cookie ladies. They finished so perfectly with a beautiful colour and terpenes oozing off them. Everytime I go up to the room , their sweet smell hits me before I get to see the other ladies. With about 6 days for #2 and 4 for #1 , I expect a few more days before they are even close to jar ready for a cure. Thankfully as they are organic and not needing to deal with leftover sodium based nutes, the terpenes should remain fairly intact with the very low 8°c and plenty of airflow keeping them rotating slowly. Rh is around 50% but not a mould risk thanks to the draughty eaves. The remaining Amnesia Haze ladies are like wound springs now. They are still 2 weeks from their supposed harvest time but look ready now. If I didn't know that there is a second flush about to pop them wide open and swell them even more , it would be easy to pull them before their true ending . Still very smokable at this stage now but i am confident that they will have a second flush of fresh pistils any day now. There are signs of it starting on a couple of the mains so i will be using the Dragon force to support this for about 7 days , which is designed to boost them at their finishing stages. I rate this product and use it every grow. Well worth a look. The natural fading and the temperature drops at lights off are creating some amazing colours throughout the canopy now too. Thankfully experience allows me to enjoy this kaleidoscope of autumnal colours and not panic that I have a major deficiency going down. There are some nicely cannabalising leaves in the canopy too which is also a good sign that they are performing just as nature intended and gorging on the stored goodness from the big fans left on. They are a multi purpose leaf for the whole process from veg to finish , they change their role as the grow progresses and as soon as she notices that they are taking more to keep alive and become a sink instead of a gain , she will cannabalising the stores built up and shed the leaf herself. This is why I get stuck with the whole defoliation debate. With that said , I hope your weeks has been as much fun as mine and that you will be joining me in the upcoming tester strain runs of Fast Buds new 2022 unreleased strains to see what's in the pipeline for the autoflower world. Be lucky folks.

Week 2 of the flowering phase flew by 🌱💨. Unfortunately, I may have overdone it with potassium or kept the water level too high – the classic signs of clawing leaves were evident. Thankfully, they seem to be recovering now and are back under control 💪🍃. My IR night experiment is showing clear results 🌌: The plants exposed to infrared radiation at night stretched significantly more. This might be especially beneficial for this indica-dominant strain as it leads to better canopy distribution, improved airflow, and reduced risks of mold and disease. Plus, the light distribution is much more efficient now, which I’m excited to see pay off. On the downside, my Orange Sherbert turned hermaphroditic 😔. It’s hard to pinpoint the cause – overfertilization seems unlikely since I’m using only organic nutrients. I suspect it might be linked to an E-field experiment I’ve been running. To confirm this theory, I’ll conduct a new grow with a similar strain next year to see if the electric field negatively impacts cannabis development. Stay tuned for updates! Drop a like and follow along for more grow insights 🌿✨. See you next week! Woche 2 der Blütephase ist wie im Flug vergangen 🌱💨. Leider habe ich wohl etwas zu viel Kalium gegeben oder den Wasserstand zu hoch gehalten – die typischen Anzeichen von Adlerkrallen waren sichtbar. Zum Glück scheinen sich diese jetzt zurückzubilden und sind wieder unter Kontrolle 💪🍃. Mein IR-Nachtexperiment zeigt bereits deutliche Ergebnisse 🌌: Die Pflanzen, die nachts mit Infrarotstrahlung bestrahlt wurden, haben deutlich stärker gestretcht. Das ist besonders bei dieser indica-dominanten Sorte wahrscheinlich von Vorteil, da es zu einer besseren Verteilung des Blätterdachs führt. Dadurch verbessert sich die Luftzirkulation, das Risiko von Schimmel und Krankheiten wird minimiert, und die Lichtverteilung wird effizienter. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich das weiter auswirkt! Leider hat meine Orange Sherbert gezwittert 😔. Woran das genau liegt, kann ich schwer sagen. Eine Überdüngung halte ich für unwahrscheinlich, da ich nur biologischen Dünger verwendet habe. Ich vermute, dass mein E-Feld-Experiment eine Rolle spielt. Um das zu bestätigen, werde ich nächstes Jahr einen neuen Durchlauf mit einer ähnlichen Sorte machen und prüfen, ob das elektrische Feld tatsächlich eine ungünstige Rückentwicklung der Pflanze verursacht. Bleibt dran, lasst ein Like da und folgt mir für weitere Updates 🌿✨. Bis nächste Woche!

I got the seeds from a local dealer so I was unsure what type of strain it was but he told me it was a Gorilla Glue Auto flower so I just went with that. That is why in the first few weeks I set my lights on a 20/4 lights on and off schedule. Around 7 weeks in my grow the guy I got it from said that his flowered when he switched his light to 12/12 so I kinda doubt that it's an auto and maybe it is just a photo. I then switched the lights to 16/8 just because I heard it is better to give them more rest and is better on electric. When I thought that the plant was big enough to go into flowering I just flipped the switch to 12/12 and two weeks later it started flowering so I don't know if it was just time for the plant to start flower or the flip. But in the end I got a weight of 1500 grams wet weight with the stems on and a dry weight of 215.56 grams of just straight bud so at the end it was very good considering the light I have and ran into some problems on the way.0000

420Fastbuds FBT2310/Week2 Weekly update for these 2. I started seeing some rust spots so I decided to add a little General Hydroponics Calimagic at 0.25tsp/gal to my feed. So far seems to stop. I also decided to start a very light dose of nutes General Hydroponics 3 part flora series at the same 0.25tsp/gal to every other feed to see how they'll respond. All in all Happy Growing.

Hello! Welcome to the fourth week on our Royal Gorilla Automatic. This week dates the start of flowering! We started adding Bloom Booster Tablets to her feed (we add 1 gram from a tablet to 1.4 liters of water). Please take a moment to compare the development between the first and last picture of this week, simply amazing. She is a joy to look at and after every feed she just looks great! Stay safe, see you next week.

Through out the week she received a foliar spray of Epsom Salt to prevent any Mg issues the others had in the tent. She is the shortest and smallest of the bunch but her foliage is the most vibrant. Very healthy and strong stems forming.

Firstly we've place the seeds in water for 72 hours. Then place in Jiffy pods, then placed in a mini hothouse under 2x 28watt halogen bulbs until day 14. Then they'll be placed in large 16-20 litre pot, then placed in the greenhouse to live out their life. Day 2. Gelato Auto have been planted in the jiffy pod. Day 3. Auto Ultimate and Gorilla Glue Auto have been planted in the Jiffy pods. Day 4. Halogen lights too hot, so now they are in the bathroom under one of the ceiling heat light. It's perfect, the humidity ranges around 78 - 83% and the temperature ranges between 18.2 to 21.8 degrees over the 24 hr period Day 6. The Gelato Auto has sprouted along with 6/7 Auto Ultimate. Leaving one more to come plus the Auto Gorilla Glue. Auto Gorilla glue and Auto Gelato were free seeds with the Auto Ultimate. So they'll becoming along for the ride. Day 7. All of the Auto Ultimate have sprouted, leaving just the Gorilla Glue Auto to come. It's has a tap root, it just hasn't escaped from the seed yet Day 9. 5 Auto Ultimate have been planted into 16 litre buckets and placed under 200watt HPS bulb 18/6. The rest will be planted on day 11. Day 10. Gorilla Glue is gone. When you see a seed case that won't fully open with a very small tap root. It's either delicately remove the case and membrane and hope it'll do something. If you break it, waste of time. If you don't, waste of nutrients and soil on a maybe so opted to say good bye. It's a free seed so no loss. Plant the Auto Gelato and the two Auto Ultimate tomorrow morning. Day 11. 2 Auto Ultimate and the Gelato Auto have been planted outside in the hot house. The other 5 will join in week three of growth. It's said to grow then under lights for the first three weeks. So we will the difference between starting outdoor and starting indoor. This is my comparison Grow. Day 12. Hot house has built-in misting system to help with it humidity levels. I do a feed once a week with fish fertilizer. Soil mixed with dynamic lifter & slow release fertilizer pellets. Mist will go off at 9am, 2 pm and 930pm. More often or less weather permitting. Hot house open during the day and closed in the afternoon and throughout the night. All is doing well in the hothouse. The 5 Auto Ultimate indoors are doing great as well. So far so good. Day 14. Germination period has ended. We only lost the Gorilla Glue Auto. When the 5 indoor ones reach three weeks they will join the others outside, to complete. MH light now set at 400watt

23.05. today is the end of the fourth week for the plants, they haven't progressed much since last week, they grew a few cm and gained a little weight, but they are healthy, which is the most important thing... in a few days I will transplant them and top them because some of them have already developed the sixth pair of leaves, so I simply have to top them. turned out... I thought of transplanting them into 10-liter pots and after two to three weeks into 50-liter holes, however, the weather didn't cooperate, and I was already late anyway because of the bad weather, and because of the same, my plants in the fourth week were the same as they should have been in the second, and because of the same, I couldn't even transplant earlier... now that nothing went according to the "plan", of course, I don't know how smart it is to transplant them into 10 L and then into 50 with the fact that it is with me the longest day of the year is June 22, so that actually a week after that it can start flowering (it usually starts at the end of July or at the end of August, but it can be late and start even in September, and it also knows how to plow and start already at the end of June)...now I think that it is better to buy smart pots of 50-60 liters and immediately transplant into them and then just bury them...another problem with that is that the soil that I took for vegetation has food in it for a month days, if I transplant twice, it may happen that it enters flowering, and the food for the vegetation has not yet been used up, and that would be a problem...advices are welcome Stay high!!!

Left um 4 days over Christmas being a lazy bum and come back to half a tent off yellow a lot of fan leaves are looking sickly / fell off altogether most yellow leaves have been pulled off plants lost a lot of they fam leaves all in maybe abit too many , it’s hard because one person tells ya leave um all on and another person will tell ya take um all off so we just been seeing what works ourselfs and still ain’t got the foggiest , when ya rub the buds you get hints off lemon / pepper and fresh dog shit 🤣🤣 as I say we have um last feed of nutes this week and started to flush um they take about 6 litres of water through the pots untill any type of coloured run off and we only have 100l so 3 days at it we got through about 10 plants and we gave up 🤣🤣 so again intrested to see the finished prouduct if flushing does change the taste of the smoke , saying this the plants we have flushed seem to be looking alot more healthy than the ones we haven’t so deffo leaning towards a lockout or too high nutes for the girls , alot of rusting and alot of burnt frazzled tips one plant we chopped early and didn’t even get a gram of smoke able off it just alot of leaf n skinny buds , it being a first time go at this I’m not really too disappointed with the outcome but deffo kicking myself at how many I rammed in togther , some of the top Kolas are looking 10/10 but other than the top kolas the rest ain’t worth a wank to me , all in all learnt a lot though so excited to finish this one up and get cracking with number 2 I’m leaning towards bud Buddha seeds cheese puffs after smoking some zheez that’s going around the country at the minute cheese x zkittles , anyway happy growing people and don’t forget to drop a comment if you have anything to say or ask

2/25/25 these plants are exploding with growth. all dark green and super happy. will be giving them another week and then switch them to 12/12 2/27/25 these plants are absolutely exploding with growth right 2/28/25 defoliating and tucking leaves. theyre all so lush and bushy. these genetics are surprising me after this transplant. theyre absolutely loving life right 3/2/25 these plants are growing visibly each day. i switched them to 12/12 today even though theyre only in the veg tent. after a couple more weeks, ill move them into the flower tent. so 2-3 weeks under a small 150 watt light, and then move them under a 300 watt light to finish

Alots transpired but not really lol. Chopped 3 so far for being male and as you can see this week I may (99% sure) have another male. I’ve given one light feed of Cronk grow, kelp me kelp you, and some cal mag. So looks like I’ll be taking 3 into flower which is all I wanted to know before spent too much effort and time on em. Prolly transplant the 2 smaller ones this week and just continue to wait it out. I know next time I could wait a few weeks before popping new beans if they’re regs atleast…

Showing pistils like crazy only 7 days in. Will be switching her into the main flower tent and release her from all LST tie downs. I will defoliate if there becomes too much fan leaves covering lower potential.

Huge buds everywhere. I for sure unlocked most of these seeds. I wish the trichome production had been better 😏
