During week 7 the 3 plants continue to grow outstandingly well! The BADAZZ-CHEESE and ZHEETOS from BIG BUDDHA SEEDDS have a healthy green color and grow so much foliage that I have to defoliate on a regular basis. On day 43 (=flowering day 19) I take off all bigger fan leaves in order to ensure a better airflow thru the closet. The humidity is unfortunately still on the high side and sometimes exceeds 80% in the daily maximum, that is MUCH too high during flowering. I increased the dose of BIO NOVA nutrients according to their feeding scheme and all plants LOVE IT! The ZHEETOS #1 plant grows much taller than her sister ZHEETOS #2, therefore I decide to SUPER-CROP her on Day 48 (=FD 23). This technique developed by SOMA from SOMA-SEEDS is one of my favorites and I use it since years in order to bush out plants, which grow to high. Appr. 15-20 cm from the top of the plant, right above an internode, I take the main stem between two fingers and press very hard until I can feel the fibres inside the stem brake. By slowly pressing all around the diameter of the stem I create a weak spot at which I bend over the stem, so it looks 90-180 degrees downward. I do this very carefully to NOT BRAKE the outer skin of the stem while I bend the stem downwards. Even if some fibres brake, the stem will repair itself within a few days to a week and then start to point upwards again...👍😃 During the time the main stem needs to repair itself, all other side-stems will grow more upwards and this makes the plant bush out more. At the same time a super-cropped plant will produce bigger buds at harvest time, than a plant where you did not do that. Somehow the plant reacts to being hurt by getting stronger and producing more! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO ABOVE TO SEE ME SUPER-CROP! 😎 I also took a video ONE DAY after the procedure (on DAY 49), in order to show how resilient the plant is and how much she immediately repairs herself. Already then the main top has turned and points upwards to the light again, ITS FANTASTIC TO SEE! Simply a miracle plant...

It's been another easy week in the Fastbuds tent. I've spent most my energy preparing my outdoor grow space for a wild summer. At this point, there's not much I can do except water and watch my plants grow. I've added videos of other plants in relations to the mimosa cake just for visual aid. I also added a photo of my cheese auto.. it's still drying! With the Mimosa cake auto I've been taking fan leaves off slowly for weeks now. This is a very busy plant. She is also going to run later than I expected. She's on day 76 and I suspect 95 to 100 days to finish time. I'll have to keel feeding her bloom nutes for the next few weeks; her 3 gallon bucket ran out of nutrients already. Feeding schedule: water, feed, water, feed Step 1- I'll take an aeration stone and use it to remove the chlorine residual in the water... this only takes 8 - 12 hours depending on water temperature. (I'm a water treatment process operator, I have checked several times in the past with my own Cl2 meters). Step 2 - add Calmag Step 3- add bloom nutes Final step - pH the water accordingly (very important that this is final step) A TDS residual of 500 ppm equals roughly 1 E.C. (I just double it)

I can honestly say this strain has been the easiest to maintain and has been flourishing so well . Nugs doubled up in size in ONE WEEK ! Which makes me a proud canna MOM . But I took a little video for you grow pals out there so see those details . She is a beauty and smells fruity and very similar smelling to actual watermelons. Thank you for the support through my journey

Day 100 Day 57 Flower 06/07/24 Saturday Flushed with de-chlorinated tap water today pH 6.0. Flushing using 10L of water with Flawless finish- I'll be using this every other flush. , getting 50% run off, I can't measure ppm, I have ordered the tool to start learning this way also. I haven't measured run off ppms before so will be interesting to see. Smelling pungent, deep greens of colour coming through, hoping over the next 2 weeks she swells as she is not as dense as I was hoping 😅 Day 10day 58 Flower 07/07/24 Sunday No feed /water today letting her dry off a little more. Updated with a short 🤩💚 Day 102 Day 59 Flower 08/07/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap Water 5L pH 6.0 + 3L Water +calmag 5ml to keep her from deficiency during 1st week of flush. Updated a short video 😁 She's getting there. Day 103 Day 60 Flower 09/07/24 Tuesday No water, letting her dry off again ABIT, noticing a huge amount of trichome production, updated a short to see 😍. Day 104 Day 61 Flower 10/07/24 Wednesday Another 10L flush today , de-chlorinated tap water pH 6.0 with flawless finish. 10ml flawless finish to 10L water. Updated pictures and video. Day 105 Day 62 Flower 11/07/24 Thursday Last day of the week, another big flush today! 10L de-chlorinated tap water pH 6.0 with 10ml Flawless finish 👌 Trichomes...😍 She maybe a 21 day flush we'll see how she goes next week with ripening. Video updated.

The ICE is almost done; the NL doesn’t even seem close. Interesting since ICE sprouted a day later than the NL.

Hi, Topman! Now, I think, was added very more nutrients ~1500ppm, and this movie does this situation. Also added simple of sugar for Great White! We does add solution 35%…and watch form plats everyday. It's strain doesn’t like +1200ppm… Think it.

Hi guys, this week has been great for plant growth..they are 85cm tall and I think they will grow a little longer. You can see the future buds that will be covered with flowers. From this growth I am learning that the FIM technique is better because the buds will all be at the same height and look much more (as you can see in plant number 4). Pistils begin to appear and in the next week I hope to see more pistils. Stay Tuned 🦍

Week 9 started so far they are looking great to me. 1 plant started almost exactly 1 week ahead of the other 2 (the plant with yellow pipe cleaner on some branches is the 1 plant that started to preflower ahead of the other 2 plants. ) it's really smelling great aswell. Pretty exciting to watch these autoflowers. Over night u get to see some crazy growth .. Been learning alot with this first attempt with autoflowers.. we're going to be starting up some more hopefully . But will update more photos during the week as they fill out . Getting closer , but no rush on these girls , their looking and smelling AMAZING .

Well kind of a shitty week. The weather has been garbage, it snowed twice... yeah snowed. There is not a whole lot of growth to report on due to the weather. The Grand Daddy Purple has a lot of space between it's nodes this week, to what I can only attribute to the poor lighting with it being over casted, cold and snowing all week. The other 2 photo's are doing just as well as you can see, again not a whole lot of growth after the topping, but I'm assuming the environment for them has not been as favorable as needed, so they are just focusing all their energy on not dying. Which I'm totally cool with lol. The mephisto's are growing well, I'm still training them around the pot trying to get more tops out of them. The ChemDawg is doing significantly better than the Sweet N Sour, I haven't had to do hardly any watering this week as the soil is still damp, temps are cold and humidity is high. I did water and feed them today though as we are expecting temps and weather to reach mid 70 s this week. The Girl Scout Cookies is still in her seedling phase, not sure why this strain is giving me so much trouble, but she's not dead, and first true leaves are just starting to poke out, I've got her in the indoor tent with my Auto grow soaking up some light and hoping that gets her hardy enough to bring her outdoors.

Hello yall!! Hope everyone is doing good out there and your plants are thriving. The 2 plants that are pretty much done already are the 2 Dolphin Wax. 🐬 It's pretty awesome to be able to capture 2 such beautiful different plants with 2 beans. The Isorins are doing wonderful. She's thicking up and busting Caylaxs. Starting to catch the fade in the begging of week 7. I'll do some more feeding this week withheld battle axe and the Isorin. I'll feed lightly. Do molasses foop water ph irrated balanced. Every of the day. For the week of 7. Try to keep the flavors locked in. I'll be back after a while updating. Thos are the thricomes of the Dolphin wax @ Day 49 bloom!! Holy smokes that was fast!!! Hoping these other 2 strains take a couple more weeks. Let em get darker and more full of flavors, thricomes and love haha

In dieser Woche wurden die Ladies einmal entlaubt und normal gegossen! Klimabedingungen sind gut, (Ich habe den Abstand etwas vergrößert auf 40 cm und fahre jetzt bei 100% um den korrekten ppfd wert zu haben und etwas mehr Wärme rein zu geben ) und die Blütebildung ist in vollem Gange …. Das Wachstum war diese Woche sehr gering…1-2 cm! Diese Woche gibt es das letzte mal Enzyme und der EC Wert steigt auf ca. 2.1 . 1 Pflanze (die kleinere) hat deutlich zugenommen und hat jetzt die gleiche Größe, die Blütenbildung ist jedoch leicht versetzt, so ca. 1 Woche zurück ! Tage der Keimungsphase = 5 Tage. Tage in Wachstum = 21 Tage Tage in der Blüte= 28 Tage Gesamtzeit= 54 Tage Wachstum h = ca. 2 cm 2 mal in dieser Woche mit Purolyt Mischung 1:25 besprüht Lichtstärke: 100 % PPFD: ca. 720 umol Lichtabstand: 40 cm Std Tag/Nacht: 18/12 Temperatur Tag: ca. 25,0 Grad RLF Tag: 60% Temperatur Nacht: 21 Grad RLF Nacht: ca. 60 % VPD Wert: ca. 0,9 PH Wert Wasser/Düngelösung: 5,8 EC Wert: 2,1 Ventilator Oszillation: Stufe 1 Befeuchter: an Entfeuchter: an Zusätzlicher Entfeuchter: 1 Stk. außerhalb vom Zelt im Raum Bewässerung: 6* bewässert mit Wasser/Dünger mit den o.g.

Week 3: Everything is going smoothly, Temps and Humidity have been stable. I’ve continued to train using LST and Defoliating a couple of fan leaves. I made a tea this week using Dragonfly Earth Medicine nutrients. Every 3rd day she is wanting more. I will alternate plain PH’d water and D.E.M.

Manca poco per Papaya Zoap F1 e Strawberry Cola Sherbet F1 e penso che già settimana prossima verranno tagliate…da oggi inizio a risciacquare bene le radici con ph neutro e darò circa 3 litri d’acqua a ciascuna…per le altre due ci vorrà ancora un po’, Mohan Ram ancora 2 settimane e Jack 47 circa 3! Papaya Zoap è piena di resina, fiori compatti ma non tanto grandi, sicuramente compenserà con il suo profilo di terpeni da far invidia a ogni palato! Strawberry Cola Sherbet invece è più compatta come pianta e con struttura robusta dove la cima apicale è bella grande e appiccicosa di un colore viola intenso anche qui ricoperto bene di resina ma meno di papaya zoap! Le altre due sono indietro e hanno bisogno di più tempo ma anche loro promettono bene! Sono in attesa di vedere come si riempiranno anche loro 😄🌱
