Beginning of week This week I have cut out the Grow nutriets.. I will now double up on the bloom nutrients and have also added a half dose of Kushie Kush bloom booster from Advanced Nutrients. I have always had good results with this bloom booster.. The smell of the nutes itself just smells like it would help make the buds more dank lol.. I dont know how else to explain that lol.. But yeah. Kinda regretting the aggressive defoliation and late LST (including 1 branch that was supercropped) now.. But I'm sure by next week she will be a gorgeous little bush again.. I just wanted the lower branches to get just as much light as the tops.. Still no trichome production.. Another plant that I have flowering only about 5 days ahead has alot of trichomes for such small little nugs.. Still happy with this girlie! End of week.. Some trichomes have now popped up! Not much but SOME.. She has been showing slight signs of nutrient burn.. I think its mostly because I use the second cup to hold the runoff so that she has plenty to drink while im at work. It helps to do a little flush and NOT let it build up in the runoff cup.. Sometimes the PPM of the runoff gets up to 2300 or even 2500 PPM.. Today it was 2800 PPM so I flushed it really good this morning and going to get another good watering (no nutes) before lights out so that she can have that to drink untill the AM.. PPM got down to 1800 after doing the flush thing.. I shpuld be able to make a new batch of nutes tomorrow.. Maybe I'll even back off of some.. I'll figure it out tomorrow... She is one happy and heathy girl, otherwise.. On to the next week!!!...

I have added some bat guano for extra phosphorus during late flowering, as well as Ecothrive life cycle, to deter pests and replenish the microbial life. I also mixed in some diatomaceous earth mixed into the top dress. I have opened the two tent doors, as the humidity is at 72%. Minimum humidity with tent open is 64%. Also my tall oscillating fan can get through to the plants more effectively. FBP1 and FBP3 are well behind FBP2. I estimate they have another 3 weeks or so. While FBP2 may be ready in approximately 10+ days. I have noticed some possible Nitrogen deficiency in FBP1 and FBP3, so I will be adding extra in this coming week. The Bat guano does not contain Nitrogen. I've continued to defoliate lightly, to expose covered bud sites that are shaded by larger fan leaves. Additionally I move the plants around to adjust light exposure accordingly. The plants are drinking heavily, and I'm not letting them dry out, to preserve the microbial life. They never have run off either. Happy with the progress especially of FBP2. Thanks for reading my diary 😊

420 Fastbuds I will say without a doubt is my favorite. They've always made the best,most recent strains,and not to mention top notch genetics that are way above par. I've been collecting for some time now about 5yrs total and have finally completed my set of every strain they have come out with.

3/14: Came back from a 4 day vacation to a lot of dry, wilted, dead leaves on Amnesia. Trainwreck is super starved as well. My automatic watering system didn't kick on, and the humidifier ran out of water within 24 hours, so there's that. It may be for the better though, as the PH of the nutrients had risen to 7.5. I tossed that mix, and made another 2 gallons of half strength nutes, molasses and epsom salt. I watered them both to runoff, and now I'll wait for Amnesia to prioritize which leaves she thinks are worth saving, and then I'll defoliate the dead ones. Hopefully trainwreck will just bounce back to green. She needed to be defoliated anyway, so this situation makes it easier for me to find the dead leaves. Edit: Came back to feed the last of the nutes and decided to pluck the crispy goners. I found that pulling the leaf stem downward will make the most dead leaves fall right off, allowing me to test a majority of the leaves and give Amnesia a major haircut. Luckily I left a lot of leaves from prior defoliation, as Amnesia REALLY sucked them dry. 3/15: Amnesia looks no worse for wear than last night. Trainwreck as well. Went ahead and pulled as many dead leaves off Trainwreck as I could. Some leaves were a mix of crispy brown and healthy green, which I think is pretty goofy, so I avoided taking any green fans but removed the crispy ones. The colors of the leaves around the buds are really fun to look at. 3/16: Amnesia is starting to SHED her dead leaves, allowing me to pick the leaves with almost no effort. I tested as many leaves as I could, giving another haircut. I would say this isn't a good thing, but since it's my first grow, I'm rolling with it. As long as Amnesia keeps the buds and its nearest leaves alive, it will slowly grow, albeit stunted. I'm not sure if this condition will cause it to finish sooner, but I'm going to need to watch the trichomes under a microscope every couple of days just in case she's ready for harvest. Trainwreck looks about the same as it did before. No new leaves are ready to be removed there yet. 3/19: Amnesia is still shedding leaves, but also bulking up. Trainwreck is slowly bulking up, and turning purple as well! Going to keep an eye on Amnesia's trichomes. Edit: because amnesia is yellowing so much, and because it's been 5 days, I'm going to feed both plants a quarter strength nutrient mix just in case I've been overfeeding them somehow.

I still believe that Banana Kush #2 and Zkittlez are stunted, I wanted to remove those two but i think i will just let them grow out for the experience. I'm really banking on Banana Kush #1 to bring home the bacon.

In der sechsten Blütewoche haben sich die Blüten weiter verdichtet und an Größe zugenommen. Die Pflanze profitiert sichtbar von der erhöhten Lichtintensität und den zusätzlichen Netzen, die für Stabilität sorgen. Das Scrogging hat sich als äußerst effektiv erwiesen, da alle Blüten gleichmäßig Lichlt erhalten und sich prächtig entwickeln. Die Pflanze wirkt insgesamt sehr vital, und die Blütenstände zeigen eine schöne Harzbildung, was auf eine erfolgreiche Ernte hoffen lässt.

we are entering the second week, the little plant is growing well. The weather is perfect at the moment ,not too hot. I am continuing this week with the mycorrhizae and bacteria in addition to the bud candy. In all, I would have watered twice with these fertilizers during those first two weeks.see you next week😎

Week 8 is officially here, and it has been an absolute furnace out there! Temperatures soared between 35–38°C this week, pushing the plants through some serious outdoor heat stress. Hydration was the main mission—she’s been chugging an impressive 3 to 4 liters of water a day! She did sacrifice 2 or 3 of her older bottom leaves to cope with the extreme temperatures, but that's completely expected when it gets this hot. I’m crossing my fingers that she continues to push through the summer heat with this much resilience. Honestly, she’s handling it like a total trooper. She’s currently sitting at 53cm and looking fantastic. The buds are shaping up beautifully, and I am absolutely obsessed with the look of those violet flower stems underneath the bright white pistils. It is such a stunning look under the natural sunlight! Don't forget to check out the Black Orchid Auto diary on my profile to see how she's handling the high temperatures!

🍻 to Week Two of 🌸🌺🌻!!! Looks like all is well. Scrogged & did my last foliar feed of Magic Green last night, the girls look upright and healthy as can be. Trainwreck still thriving. May nickname this plant Batman, seems impenetrable. G13 is responding crazy to the light... the sites under the light are a bright green, yet those far from light are dark green. Tough to say it's a nutrient problem as the plant looks healthy, just light in color. Banana was initially the bully of the group. If you look at the first two weeks of this plant, you'd think Trainwreck was her and vice versa. IMO, I think Trainwreck and G13 just teamed up and took over the tent leaving little space for Banana to expand its sites. This was my most anticipated grow, oh well, next time I'll grow it by itself and make sure that one plant fills the whole tent. Looking forward to the pistil production and 🤞 they all stay in schedule and are ready to harvest in about 7 more weeks which would be exactly April 20th.... Ta-Da!!! Day 56 Update (3/7/21): Trainwreck and G13 are nearing 30 inches tall while Banana is around 27 inches and GSC is 22 inches. Going to lightly trim on Day 58, and then a HEAVY SCROG & DEFOLIATION on Day 59, The start of Week 3 of Flower. Looking forward to seeing them bare naked and then bushy again... I hope 🤞🤞🤞 EC is much higher than I'd like it right now at 2.02, but the plants aren't showing any signs of stress. I may toss GSC and just give more room for G13 and Trainwreck to spread their canopies. but I've been catering to it for this long, might as well see it through.

High GD community, Week 9, Sweet Thai looking allready better then ĺast week. The topping start to grow gently and a full 13cm in height gained this week. Since 3 days(friday), the lightcycle changed into 13/11. Nonetheless spidermites are spotted on this lady, she doesnt back down. After a treathment with orio bugs, who i actually misordered because I didnt had my new microscope yet, trips are definitly gone, and orios do eat/attack spidermites, its not their favorite. So a second army of bugs, this time phyto mytes, its gonna be all about attack and digesting spidermites, Who didnt yet get crowdy so far. But after a check up of some leafs with the new microscope, i can see a lot of eggs and pretty active young spidermites. So the phytos will not come to early. Phytos do eat eggs as orios dont, so thats a big difference. Thats 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, 🙏🌿🌿🌿🙏

Starting to fatten up. Will decrease maxibloom and liquid koolbloom and add dry koolbloom for bulking and hardening. She is a beast. So far the 2nd tallest auto I have grown, the first being a sour diesel.

Hey today last day... Baby is through.. it was scrubbed a bit by the hail on wednesday... I'll cut them off whole and hang them up in a cool place. Next time harvest day... I've already eaten strawberries.. it smells very good. smoke sample was made, was able to dream/sleep wonderfully chilled for an hour. Very relaxed and calm turn++ not so good: extremely dry mouth after getting up + throat... Taste light and pleasant smell strong.. All in all, I would recommend but rather indoor

Unfortunately, the situation forced me to start induction and flowering earlier, but the girl is so strong that she is doing great ! She caught up with her friends without any problems, I think she will catch up without any problems.
