She’s cruising through late flower now with strong stacking, steady trichome development, and some beautiful natural fading. The canopy stayed balanced and open this week — no new LST applied, but I did remove a few large fan leaves (3–4) to improve airflow and reduce the risk of moisture buildup. Buds are visibly frosting up across all sites, and I’m starting to see early signs of purpling on some of the upper fans, which matches what I’ve seen in the breeder photos. Lower fan leaves are beginning to fade and crisp at the edges — normal end-of-life senescence, nothing widespread or concerning. I continued alternating feedings: watered with Big Bud (5 ml/gal) mid-week, then gave Cal-Mag (1 ml/gal) on Day 63 along with a refill of the auto-watering base. Temps ranged between 86–88°F with humidity steady around 39–42%, which seems to be keeping everything dry, resin-rich, and stress-free. Week 10 starts tomorrow — I’ll begin checking trichomes more closely and start prepping for flush and harvest. Still smelling sweet and staying strong!

Started to see the buds develop early at the end of last week. This week I put my rebuild-able scrog net in. This thing will really let the room fill out nicely.

FBT 2308 is growing great in the Agrogardens nutrition, under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. She is loaded with pistils. She has been very hungry and thirsty. Growing great though. The colas should be starting to bulk. Hopefully I can keep her growing strong all the way through bg bulking. Everything is doing great with her at the moment. Thank you Medic Grow, Agrogardens, and Fast Buds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

🗓️ Week 5 – Nutrient Refresh, Net Adjustment & Light Optimization Arrived in week 5 with a complete nutrient solution refresh. This time using 2.5 ml/L Plagron Hydro A & B and 1 ml/L Plagron CalMag Pro, mixed into a total of 13 liters of water (the bucket turned out to be bigger than expected, according to the Amazon specs 15L). pH adjusted to 5.5 using Hesi pH-. During the water change, I lifted the SCROG net briefly to check on the roots – they’re looking great: bright, healthy, and strong. Net was repositioned afterward. The light is now running at level 8 out of 10, delivering around 800 PPFD in the center and about 700 PPFD at the edges, with a distance of 35 cm to the canopy – everything’s well dialed in! ————— 🗓️ Woche 5 – Nährlösung, Netz & Licht-Feinschliff In Woche 5 gab’s ein frisches Nährstoff-Update: Die komplette Lösung wurde ausgetauscht – diesmal mit 2,5 ml/L Plagron Hydro A & B sowie 1 ml/L Plagron CalMag Pro auf insgesamt 13 Litern Wasser Eimer misst mehr als gedacht – laut Amazon-Beschreibung 15L. Der pH-Wert wurde auf 5,5 eingestellt mithilfe von Hesi pH-. Beim Wasserwechsel habe ich das Scrog-Netz kurz nach oben gezogen, um den Wurzelzustand zu checken – sehen super aus: hell, kräftig und gesund. Danach das Netz wieder sauber positioniert. Die Lampe läuft nun auf Stufe 8 von 10, was etwa 800 PPFD in der Mitte bringt. Am Rand sind’s ca. 700 PPFD, bei einem Abstand von 35 cm zur Pflanzenspitze – also alles gut im grünen Bereich!

Good day every one, The flowering is going on just perfect. New branches began to actively gain flowers. For additional stimulation of new flowers, I installed a household extra LED lamp. no problem with the PH at all , no problem with the PPM : thanks to Hesi.

In this week, the only concern and things I monitor daily are the temperature and humidity. Temperature should always be around 20C-23C, while humidity should be around 60-70%. No nutrients is given to the plant just balance ph of water (6.5) if the top soil is dry.

Almost end of week 3. Heavy feed come in week 4. This slurricane is already swelling and pumping out trics. Stem rub smells super super sweet fruity. One girl was a Mutant and harmed. Chopped her down. Only 3 girls in the tent.

day 68, i know im a week ahead but whatever. She's chugging along nicely, kind of. To be honest she's looking a bit overcooked in my opinion lol, i thought the light may be too close but nope, light meters reading between 50,000-70,000 which is normal, plus the 70k is at the tip of those big colours. Super frosty, smells delicious, its mostly the 2 big colas at the back that need to hurry up, i've included photos. She's had 2 flushes now, last one was a few days ago. So hopefully she'll finish up nicely. No more nutrients, definitely looks like the leaves are starting to deplete themselves of food and may start dying soon. I'm guessing she may be done at day 75? hopefully. gotta remember shes about a week behind because of the time she was stunted. Just a quick update and a bunch of photos :) oh! and a video.

All pics are from the 1st day of each week I upped the nutes considerably this week saw some weird spots forming on several of the plants just figured it was nute lock so i drained a gallon of water from the affected plant and replaced with basic ro ph balanced water to dilute was this the rt thing to do? Will be doing only 50% nutes from here on

Strain: Chocolate Haze (Royal Queen Seeds) Medium: Coco bricks (Action budget bricks – hell yeah 💰) Light cycle: 12/12 from seed Grow Style: No training, no stress – just flow Grow Medium Prep: 500L of coco – never again in one go 😅 The Kickoff 🚀 This run started off wild and direct – no veg time, straight into 12/12 with Chocolate Haze. I wanted a quick turnaround and thought, hey, why wait? I germinated 14 seeds, hoping for at least 9 strong ladies. Ended up with 11 survivors – not bad! First few weeks were a bit chaotic: stretching due to low light (I tucked the seedlings under mature plants, which I do not recommend 😆), and the coco prep took way longer than expected. But hey, that's the game. Early Veg/Bloom — Lessons Learned pH: Started a bit high; some light green leaves at first EC: Too low at 1.3 — they weren't having it. Upped to 1.7 and then to 2.1 later Environment: New extractor dropped temps way down (25°C vs my usual 30°C). Thought it would help, but growth felt slower Coco quirks: They looked overwatered at times, but coco is tricky like that. Eventually, roots hit the bottom and they took off Around mid-March (3 weeks in), pistils showed up – officially the start of flower. I topped them once just before full bloom kicked in. Always a strange move, cutting healthy plants... but they bounced back beautifully. Nice and bushy now. Week 2–5 Flowering 🌸 These ladies are small but mighty. Not tall, but full of energy. The canopy is tight and even (except for one shorty), and they've been stretching like crazy — classic sativa move. Had to raise the lights twice in two days. I’ll probably do some defoliation soon to slow things down a bit. Environment is now dialed in: Temp: 30°C with lights on RH: Holding nicely in that humid sweet spot CO₂: Set to 500ppm (passive mostly, no full-on enrichment) Feeding is now solid, color has recovered beautifully, and the buds are starting to form nice stacks. I’ve kept it low-stress — no nets, no heavy training, just letting them do their thing. Observations & Setup Tweaks 🔧 Ventilation: Running the fan at just 30% now. Tent takes 18 seconds to vacuum seal, which tells me airflow is minimal – less CO₂ loss. CO₂ System: Minimal usage at 500 ppm. I’m not going all-out with gas bottles; it’s just there as a buffer. Structure: These Chocolate Haze plants don’t get tall, but they do fill out nicely. Perfect for a space where height is limited. Auto side note: One of the autos in the same tent is way taller, but less dense. Makes me appreciate the Chocolate Haze structure even more. Current Status (April 17) 📆 We’re deep into flower now — week 5, and it shows. Buds are swelling and resin production is kicking in. Nothing major to report (which is kind of the point of this grow — set and forget). Just a slight dry issue with one auto, which I adjusted on the Blumats. Besides that? Happy plants, happy grower. 🌞 Check the latest pics — they speak for themselves. Final Thoughts (So Far) 💭 This Chocolate Haze grow has been chill, efficient, and surprisingly hands-off. The direct 12/12 schedule really works when you're going for a fast cycle with minimal hassle. And even though I’m usually more into hybrids, this sativa-dominant lady is winning me over — the structure, the vigor, the smell… mmm. Now we wait for the real magic — the last few weeks of flower. Trichomes incoming. 🍫✨ Stay tuned for harvest updates — it’s gonna be sweet. Feel free to drop any questions or thoughts. Always happy to share the love for the plant. 💚 Peace

She seems to be growing kinda slow.. I'm sure it's from all the stress I put on her. She should pick back up this week. Day 30 and she has some calyxes poppin up everywhere.. I think day 31 I found her first pistil.. Ill know for sure day 32. She's healthy and the slow growth is picking up a little. I need to put in some horizontal spikes to tie the branches down a little more.. Just enough to give the colas room to grow at this point. She's not gonna be a massive yield (obviously) but not gonna be a complete waste of time. Once I harvest my current main plant I will try it again in a 5 gallon pot. Yup! Pistils at day 32.. Just small and hard to take a pic of. Preflower begins!!! This week temps have been getting up to 86F.. I put in a 2nd inline fan with carbon filter and 2 more fans for the top of canopy to get some air movement. The air is NOT cooling down enough so Im just gonna have to go without the filter. ... Later that day... Even without the filter, the tent still gets up to 84F.. WTF?! It was staying below 80 with just a little clip-on fan and small inline fan pulling air out and nothing pushing air in.. Im using the smaller inline to pull air in and the new inline pulling air out.. Now it gets warmer.. I dont get it.. Gonna have to go back to my old setup I guess.. ... Even later that day... Put up the old ventalation.. But with extra fan still pulling in air.. Smell may be strong throughout my room when lights go out.. But oh well.. I love the smell. Tied down branches a little more.. They should be far enough to do what she needs to do.. Pistils are there.. Just very very small at this point.. But they are there on a couple branches lookin good and happy! 😊 no more leaf removing.. This is only my 3rd auto... Second auto is only halfway through flower now.. Sooo, I'm still learning!!!
