The fourth week of flowering has come to an end, and the plants are now fully focused on building flowers. The bud sites continue to develop steadily, and the first noticeable layer of trichomes is beginning to cover the buds. On some plants, the resin production has become so vigorous that even the fan leaves are starting to develop a visible coating of frost—a promising sign of what's to come in the weeks ahead. The slight yellowing on the taller plants has not improved yet. As a precaution, I raised the light by another 5 cm to reduce the intensity at the top of the canopy. Over the next few days, I'll monitor their response closely and adjust further if necessary. Aside from the mild yellowing, the plants appear healthy and continue to produce dense, increasingly frosty flowers. I also carried out a small amount of selective defoliation throughout the week, removing only the occasional large fan leaf that was shading developing bud sites. This time, I took a very conservative approach, avoiding unnecessary stress and allowing the plants to direct their energy toward flower production. The biggest challenge this week was the ongoing heatwave. Fortunately, my air conditioning unit kept the tent temperature below 29°C. While that is a little warmer than I would ideally like during mid-flowering, it remains well within an acceptable range and doesn't appear to be affecting the plants negatively. With the garden settling into its rhythm, patience becomes the most important tool. The flowers are becoming noticeably frostier each day, and the unique characteristics of each cultivar are beginning to emerge. Now I'm just hoping the heatwave passes soon so the weather returns to normal and the plants can finish this stage under more comfortable conditions.

Finally got my buddy to come out and add in a 20 amp outlet so I can fire up a better light. Still using quantum boards but with a 4500k spectrum. Got in a foliar with the Growzyme from green buzz liquids. Fed them right before I took the pics they look a little sad but hopefully they bounce back quickly. Not much else going on.

Phenotype #4 & #5 Female plants = Pollinated successfully by brother Phenotype #1 Male Also mixed this Mystery Purp Male Pollen w/ a Jackpot Seed i found in my weed bag from a Lume Dispensary. ☆First & Probably last time, only found 1 Single Fat seed ☆ Going to ne excited to grow these cultivars. Going to plant immediately the F2 Genetics when seeds are ready for harvest. Phenotype #4 is mostly sinsemilla except for the very bottom branch successful pollination by brother Phenotype #1

They're all showing signs of sex now♀️ Definitely stunted them during the week due to a timer issue but hopefully we can make up for it during the rest of flower🤷‍♂️🏽 Really bushy plants that I need to defoliate sometime during this week. ✂️🌿

Day 43: Watered at 6.5 today. Girls looking pretty good other than a small amount of clawing on some leaves. Thinking I have the fan blasted on them too much. Backed it off a touch and we shall see. Also, my rust spots are starting to come back barely and I think I may up the nutes next go as they are hungry. Stacking up nicely though. Day 44: Busy, no update. Day 45: Girls looking frosty! Think I may have screwed the pooch on one of the girls. Got a little rough picking up the pots and may have snapped a main cola. In the uploaded video notice where its zoomed. Praying! 🙏 Day 46: Letting the girls dry out today. Will give em a thorough watering tomorrow. Not able to upload pics/vids currently. Day 47: No new updates. Day 48: The girls look great! 💪 Gave them a cleanse and just fed with CalMag and Sensizym. Looks like they are finished with the stretch and starting to build mass. Hoping for at least a couple huge colas! Day 49: Looking good. No new updates. I have been keeping a very close eye on the runoff PPM's as I am starting to have some rusty splotches on the leaves again. I have upped the CalMag to see if this helps as that is what it is looking like.

These ladies are doing their thang! One week since sprout. Had to move them to cups to support the stem as they were flopping. Placed a fan for circulation to try and get some strength in them. First feed at the end of week one. Went with half dose of the 1EC measurement as per Pro Line chart.

Weekly update on these big girls. I decided to take out some of the lower branches, giving more airflow at the top of the pot level. Overall they've exploded with growth this week. I'd say they're getting close to 4ft tall. I sprayed some BT spray for ipm this week since I don't want catapillers showing up unannounced. All in all Happy Growing.

Que hay familia, yo con muchos dolores de cabeza esta variedad es difícil de cojones, piden mucho alimento, han ensanchado bastante así que me toco hacer poda de bajos que no me gusta nada. También estoy al ojo por que me huele a hermafrodita una de ellas, no me hagan caso el cultivo anterior salió top y ando todo el día fumado... pero no es el caso. Nuestras green ak son bastante sensibles a los cambios de temperatura y bueno, no se la recomendaría a medir principiante si no más a gente con varios años de experiencia para poder sacar lo mejor de ellas. Ph controlado 6,5 no fallamos en eso ni en el alimento ya veremos próximamente como avanza saludos familia.

Noticed some Nitrogen toxicity so decided to lower grow A + B to 2.5ml and add some cal mag. She responded well to topping was umming and uhhing about whether to do it or not but the time felt right and didnt seem to stunt her much at all. Absolutely amazed by the genetics of this plant with the insane internodal spacing and horizontal growth. My intents with this plant were to just let her do her thing but couldn't resist the chance for a fat canopy.

This girls an absolute beast for her age, she's only 4 weeks old, going into 5th week, she's filled up my space nicely, ive defol'd and lst'd a little, nothing to heavy, ive also lollipoped her. I'm switching to half bloom and half veg nutrients from now until next fortnight, then straight bloom. Thanks for taking the time to read my diary. Feel free to check out my other diaries, and please leave a like, maybe a follow. Stay high stay fly. #420everyday

This particular one requires a fair bit of attention with defol but certainly worth the effort, she’s dripping with resin already. Added an extra fan to keep air moving over and humidity down . Same same next week

Separating the Heat from the Garbage ✂️🗑️ Week 9, and it's time for some honest talk. This week was all about damage control and heavy pruning. To be completely blunt, these FastBuds RF3 genetics are a massive mixed bag. The Strawberry is looking absolutely terrible, and it’s clear the Guava is going to be a total disappointment too. Just zero potential on those two. The only saving grace in the tent right now is the Banana Purple Punch she is actually holding it down, stacking nicely, and showing some real quality. At this stage, I'm just cleaning up the trash phenos, focusing on the Banana, and pushing through to the finish line. Not every run can be a winner, but we ride it out until the end! 🤷‍♂️💨

Definitely try again this strain amazing 🤩💨💨💚

Pretty happy with the grow and the harvest, the drying went well also! Each grow highlights changes for the next and this has been no different! I'll be making more training adjustments in the next runs to try and refine the vertical scrog and get to the point where it's a wall 1 bud thick! I know it will get there in the end it's just like relearning how to do a horizontal scrog! I just need to predict the way the plant will respond when the light is from the sides! Bravery and brutality during pruning I think is the key! 😂✌️💚

A diary dedicated to the rest of my special girls. Check out my profile to see the Gorilla Glue up close (she will still appear here from time to time). Germinated them directly in the soil with natural sunlight, achieving a 100% success rate. All came out the soil with remarkably thick stems already, excited to see how these old school genetics will behave. Lots of growth during their first week of life, reaching the end of it with 2 pairs of leaves each. We surely got some sturdy girls here. Sunset Sherbet had some damage from struggling to hatch and is now slowly recovering, I’m sure she’ll catch up with time. Nothing good nutrition and proper lighting won’t fix. Bruce Banner turned out to be incredibly big for her age, never grown a seedling like her! You can tell she’s already finding her germination vase too small. Making a statement with her presence. Biscotti Mintz also looking big and very healthy. Let’s watch them grow and see what they’ve got 🌱💪

Saturday March 19th GrowUpdate: Here’s my 10x10 grow setup with multiple strains growing. I am testing my 2 new BloomPlusXP4000’s and so far love them!! I have TOPGREENER heavy duty smart plugs with energy monitoring hooked up to both my lights and exhaust fan. I can turn on and off from anywhere on my phone. Govee Wi-Fi Bluetooth hygrometers that send me notifications and I can check the temp and humidity from anywhere on my phone. Globe smart power strip with 4 sockets that can be run individually from my phone.

Day 72 (2020-07-20): Continuing flush of CBD Crack. G14 will start next watering most likely. Day 75 (2020-07-23): Started flush for G14. Day 77 (2020-07-25): Continuing flush for both plants. Checking trichomes daily. G14 looks right on schedule. Starting to think I might have started the CBD a week early (especially after getting a macro lens for my phone), but moving forward.

These bad boys are cranking and getting close. Monitoring trichs and signs to harvest. All 5 seem to be close but will definitely finish up at different times. Took them out for some fresh air. Last pic shows you the variation. I’m estimating maybe 550-650 grams of dry. Did some light defoliation and added support spaced colas evenly.
