Last week for these ladies. Kept the soil moisture levels very low leading up and did a final heavy de leaf of pretty much anything that doesn’t have trichomes growing on it and will be shutting the lights and turning the heat off for the last 48 hours. Keeping a lot of the sweet leaf on to keep the moisture throughout drying and will do a dry trim. Will be aiming to have a long slow drying period (12-15 days hanging) before I jar them up for curing. Won’t be adding many quality pictures this week since half the time they’re in the dark but will post harvest pictures as they come down :)

Hey hey my fellow growers, I hope everyone had an excellent week! It is great to be back here at the beginning of week six, let’s get into it! Last week I had misspoke- I said I was going to train 5 of the 6 plants I have going from fastbuds, this was false…. What I meant is all 6… Yes at the time I had only INTENDED on messing with 5 but the last one, the way it was structured with the self top, it was practically BEGGING me to get in there and play with it- and I ask you this- who would I be to deny that little strawberry pie the simple pleasure of a little training? So train I did… Nothing crazy, but actually for all six plants (despite my best efforts, best being debatable) to not go overboard- I have been going in a doing a little bit of training and taking a leaf off here and there if it’s blocking any potential bud sites. I am trying to be really careful and not do too much at once and upset any of them- but at the same time, after stunting them a bit with the taproot incident (which I will keep referring to until I learn from that mistake) I want to do what I can to maximize yield after tripping up a bit in the beginning. We will see how it goes, but for now, everything seems to be doing well and responding well to the bit of training I have been doing. Right now I am seeing a range of sizes among the bunch- the forbidden runtz are both shorter and squatier coming in at about 5.5 inches in height each and I notice everything is spaced a bit tighter on these so I have had some difficulty spreading them out but not to any problematic extent, just in comparison with the rest- Next we have the strawberry pie- the smaller one coming in at 5.5inches, is the one that I was speaking about that had topped itself. It seems to be doing well and handling the training just fine. However the other one, that one is much bigger and is about 8.5 inches tall. It wasn’t until I busted out the ruler that I saw that this was the second biggest plant of the fast buds. That leaves the largest which of course was the gorilla cookies! The smaller of the two is coming in at 8 inches and the larger one coming in at 9.5! They are both tied down and doing great, showing growth each day after being trained and having select leaves removed. We are getting closer and closer to flower I hope to have a bit more time with them but that is totally in their hands, so we will see what happens- the game plan now for me at this point is to keep doing what I’ve been doing- trying to balance on a delicate line. As far as other news… I am doing dishes the other day- I have my phone propped up with YouTube on and dude grows playing (my preferred way to do dishes) I hear the dude mention a giveaway they are doing that I had submitted an entry for recently so my ears had perked up…👀 I saw they had the contest page pulled up and on display and I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be cool if I got to see my picture right now, sure enough- I hear them start talking about my pictures! I in no way won (at this point, my fingers are crossed though haha) and I realize that this is debatably anticlimactic however, I listen to these guys everyday at work so I was stoked! I still am! There are lots of good giveaways going on right now, all the amazing contests going on on this site, Instagram wherever! You have to be in it to win it folks and often it doesn’t take much to enter- I wish you all luck if you participate in any holiday contests and I hope you all have a fantastic holiday week and I will catch you all here at the same time in the same place hopefully with some new goodies and we can continue this fastbuds journey! Growers love and happy holidays everybody!!! 💚🤙🌱

She flowered very fast. The smaller ones smell different and have more shiny flowers very nice, it smelled very strong at the end, while trimming the buds a smell of fruit and gas spread trough the whole house

Week is going great. Started out the week by transplanting into a 3 gallon fabric pot. In one week the roots easily reached the little, solo cup size pot it was in so I'm glad I decided to transplant. The day after transplant the plant showed no signs of stress. The following day which is today, the plant looks great. No drooping at all with the leaves straight out soaking up the light. %%%%%******** Check out the transplant video on The Weed Tube *********%%%%%%% *****************Subscribe and b e entered to WIN******************** https://www.theweedtube.com/video/transplanting-autoflowers---nl-auto-bad-idea-good-idea--100301

This week is pretty chill, I'm letting them do they're own things. I'm fairly new to growing, so I'm doing different techniques with each plant. I topped one of the alien Moonrocks, leaving the other and letting one go just normal. As you can see from the pictures, they responded REALLY well from LST. I've heard nothing but solid things from Twisted Trees. Some are planted in a 5 gallon bucket, and some random sizes. I got my 7 gallons too late, I don't want to risk shocking them when I transplant as they are doing fine. I'm really just testing the waters, see what works for my indoor grow. Also added humidifier, running around 45-50 percent humidity.

9/3 One of the West Coast OG's, seems to be a bit stunted..the smallest of the lot but has the most pistils so far. 11/3 lsd has started flowering! Have been doing some light defoliation here and there and some lst to open them up.

Hi Growmies, Luckily she has made full recovery, in the tank below and up top :). OST of the root growth I. Observing, I would attribute to the combination of orca, rhizotonic and cannazym. Mainly the orca though ;). I will minimum give her 1–2 more weeks max until I flip her, as it feels like she should have a fairly short flowering phase. Overall she is looking very lush and healthy again, but still has some catching up to do. Here is the code that’ll give you 20% in Zamnesia‘s online store, just input ZAMMIGD2023 at checkout. Thanks for stepping by and until next week!

A peg from a tent, nailed a plant laid on a shovel to the ground marking the victory of man over nature the former gum has set the next floor in a plane to the previous one. As a result, we have 4 floors practically in a single plane. I removed the first two sheets and two thirds of the leading escape of the 2nd pair, I plan in this position to release up the main trunk

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 As you can see these ladies are growing nicely. They're both at the same height 59cm but one is wider than the other. Quite nice so far. That's 12cm in one week same as the Royal Gorilla. Evenly spread canopy, the one that had better shape from the start now has longer colas. Both are stacking nodes nice and tight. They have a nice green color to them but you can't really appreciate that in the pictures. I'm still trying to get a hand of this new phone, I might just go back to the camera. 🤔 Starting to get a little shine to them, I think this strain will be the first in forming trichomes. They give off a nice smell but I can't put my finger on it yet. Feeding 1,5L each, every other day. Will be increasing as they ask for more. How do they ask for more? When feeding if the soil is drier than normal I give a 150-200ml increment of water. I do that until they stop feeding so much then i just maintain that amount. I start reducing if it takes longer to dry. That works good for me. The old finger in the dirt trick. 👍 Nothing like knowing exactly what your ladies need first hand. **Info and pictures were taken at day 12 of flower.** Hope you enjoyed this week's update. Stay tuned for next week. 😃 If you like this check out the other diaries of the strains in the tent. 😄 Take care and stay safe! One love!✌️🏽

I missed fertilizing the needle too much. I hope it doesn't cause much damage.

10/11 111 days old, 42 days since flip and any time now. She is wrapping things up quick. She gets cold at night. The pictures do this plant no justice. She is not green, she is purple. 70s during the day and 60s at night really brings the color out. This strain is supposed to finish in 54 to 60 days. She will not make it to 50 before finishing. Really she looks done now. She was grown in living soil. I added more worm castings, myco and zolmite. That was it for her entire veg stage. She was a beautiful dark green and not one sign of deficiency. All I did was add water. For the flower stage I added more castings and Gaia Green power bloom. Then when she started flowering I added the Fox Farm bloom nuits. Probably didn’t need the Fox Farm but I had it so I used it. She has been on straight water for the past week. I added defoliation even though it’s not really defoliating. The leaves are drying up. I’m pulling them off to let the light go deeper. The Soil Makers, Colchester CT is where I got the living soil from. 10/13 she is almost ready. Watered her last night. Waiting to see is she is still drinking. 10/14 chopped her down, Timber. Did my first trim, took a couple of hours. That was taking my time. She was not that hard to trim. Between being lollipoped and this strain is not very leafy. Trimming was very easy. I chopped her at the bottom after trimming and hung the whole plant. Since it’s the whole plant I didn’t bother getting the wet weight. The whole plant is very heavy, over 5 pounds. Wet doesn’t tell me much so why bother. Going by looks I should net about a pound, give or take. Now I’m going to try and give her a slow dry and cure. Also can’t say harvested until i am able to get some weight.

Day 57: Girls looking good and healthy. Got the HLG turned up 100% pumping 500 watt to em! We shall see. Still only given around 500ppm nutes. Day 58: Got mostly cloudy with just a couple amber it looks like. I'm thinking I need to start flushing. Albeit, only on one plant. I will wait a few days more until I make a decision. Day 59: Still looking beautiful! Buds are getting thicker! Decided I will give MOAB till week 10 and check the tric's at that time. Prob start flushing at that time. Only time will tell. Day 60: Girls looking good. 👊 Not gonna lie, getting nervous as I do not want to cut em too soon or too late. This is a tough spot. The one has a ton of red hairs. It looked as if there was just a couple of amber that I found the other day. I was looking on the outside of the buds, also. So I know the inside is where I need to look. Just not wanting to jack with them too much. I will check again at end of week. Day 61: Busy. No updates. Day 62: These girls are starting to smell amazing!! I don't see any noticeable growth here lately. I'm hoping they start to bulk even more though as I think I am still seeing some clear trichomes. Day 63: Welp, all is well and no new updates. I been feeding pretty heavy so I will back off and just water tomorrow.

Going to end this romance. Too smelly and poor smoke reports. I still love her. Made rosin and rso. In both cases she stays runny and sticky. Even in colder temps. Different strain for sure!

------GENERAL COMMENT------ As planed I lowered the base nutrient to 2ml, and took a break from Cal Mag, to release the N a bit, green is on point now. Tomorrow will catch up with the Cal Mag schedule as usual. Time for some overdrive, for the rest all good, girls are developing well and buds are getting bigger, no issues. Smelling delicious! Hope I had some Terpinator to give a go... ------GG. AK47 COMMENT------ AK47 is developing slower, but with more branches.
