Day 44 โ€“ Steady March into Flowering The journey continues! Although the weather remains inconsistent โ€” with chilly mornings, bursts of afternoon sun, and cold nights โ€” this lady refuses to be held back. Sheโ€™s thriving confidently in her super soil blend, nourished solely with pH-balanced tap water, and showing no signs of slowing down. Her foliage has become lush and expansive, acting like solar panels eagerly soaking in every bit of light they can capture between the clouds. New growth is vigorous, and the pre-flowering signs are now clearly taking shape, promising a smooth transition into full bloom. The top node is beginning to stack, and those early pistils are spreading โ€” a sure sign sheโ€™s enjoying her environment. Although nighttime temperatures have dipped, sheโ€™s been strong enough to remain outdoors under the open sky. To protect her from the sneaky slug patrol, Iโ€™ve elevated her above ground level โ€” a small tactic, but one that keeps her canopy untouched and flourishing. Thereโ€™s something uniquely rewarding about this outdoor grow โ€” itโ€™s low-cost, hands-on, and deeply satisfying. While indoor tents offer more control, nothing beats adapting to natureโ€™s rhythm and still achieving such healthy development. Much credit goes to FastBuds.com for the genetics. This girl is showing impressive resilience, structure, and poise โ€” exactly what you want in a CBD-dominant auto. Canโ€™t wait to transform this harvest into some rich, therapeutic CBD oil. One step closer each day! Day 46 โ€“ Thriving Naturally Under Open Skies This lady continues to prove that sometimes, less is truly more. Iโ€™ve kept things as simple and natural as possible โ€” no synthetic nutrients, no grow tents, no artificial stimulation. Just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a super soil blend I mixed myself months ago. The result? A strong, healthy, and surprisingly resilient plant that now towers confidently at over 60 cm and is embracing her flowering phase with grace. Yesterday brought a refreshing rainfall โ€” and while some might worry about outdoor exposure, this girl clearly enjoyed every drop. Her leaves were glistening with energy this morning as the sun returned, and the vibrant growth is undeniable. Itโ€™s moments like these that remind me why I chose an outdoor grow: nature takes care of its own when we provide the right foundation. Iโ€™m hopeful that Iโ€™ll be able to keep her outside right through to harvest. With the summer sun still ahead, sheโ€™s got the best part of the season to stretch, stack, and swell those buds. Massive appreciation to FastBuds.com โ€” the genetics are absolutely spot on for a low-maintenance grower like myself. Reliable, vigorous, and beautiful to watch evolve. No gimmicks. No stress. Just sun, soil, and the will to grow. Day 49 โ€“ Battle-Tested by Nature, Still Standing Tall What a wild few days itโ€™s been! Heavy rain and strong winds put my lady through her first proper trial. At one point she even took a tumble from her pedestal and bent slightly under the pressure. But if thereโ€™s one thing thatโ€™s become crystal clear โ€” Fast Buds genetics are made of iron. ๐Ÿ’ช Despite the rough weather, sheโ€™s bounced back beautifully. Today the skies have cleared, and the sunshine has returned โ€” and so has her posture. Her leaves are once again reaching outward with confidence, showing no signs of stress or damage. Itโ€™s moments like these that make outdoor cultivation so rewarding. Thereโ€™s no hiding from the elements out here โ€” itโ€™s all about adaptability, resilience, and harmony with nature. My growing technique remains deliberately minimalistic: no artificial feeds, no grow tents, no special shelters โ€” just pure rain, sunlight, and my homemade super soil blend. The goal is to let nature take the lead, and so far, sheโ€™s doing a brilliant job. If youโ€™re thinking of trying an outdoor grow and want something straightforward yet satisfying, I canโ€™t recommend FastBuds.com genetics enough. Theyโ€™ve created a line that genuinely thrives even under less-than-ideal conditions. Weโ€™ve now passed the 7-week mark, and Iโ€™m more convinced than ever that this grow will finish strong, under open skies โ€” just the way I envisioned. ๐ŸŒฟโ˜€๏ธ

One week more. The two ladies have developed quite well in the last week and I have now defoliated them again. I think the yellow leaf tips are due to low humidity. The morello cherries auto in the soil also had a bit of bad news for me. There was a small bag of bananas, which I have removed for now and will continue to observe whether new ones appear. With a new cultivar, I can well imagine that it will be even more stable. Otherwise, the morello Cherrie flowers very fast and l'm a little surprised at the low stretch.

Completely guessing at her actual height at this point because I tied her down and am planning to let her complete her grow like this. Iโ€™ve gotten my canopy pretty even. Also top dressed with a little natures organic this week.

The girls are getting really thirsty this week, guzzling down 40 liters of nutrient mix like it's the last cocktail at a garden party. Plant One is showing off its glamorous purple buds, growing in size and looking almost too perfect. Pretty sure this diva is a Purple Punch variety, ready for its close-up! Plant Two has hit a growth spurt, shooting up over 90 cm with black and purple berry-sized buds decorating it like a botanical Christmas tree. Fingers crossed this beauty is an LSD-25 Auto! Plant Three is joining the growth parade, bursting with flowers and flaunting its health like a gym enthusiast after a protein shake. Plant Four is the late bloomer of the group, taking its sweet time but still looking fabulous. This week, I gave the girls a stylish trim to let the light shine through their fast-growing foliage. All in all, itโ€™s been an uneventful week, and Iโ€™m thrilled with their progress. Keep it up, ladies!

I was under watering quite a bit in an attempt to make sure I didnโ€™t flush out the benes and nutrients of the super soil. Ironically, I might have killed all the benes. Lol. Either way, theyโ€™re getting about 2.5 gal every other day now. Growing strong. This has been my strongest plant. At the beginning, I wasnโ€™t very stoked on its structure, but I have to say, this is looking like it will be one heavy producer... Itโ€™s growing so much Just did another spinosad treatment. This one never really had any damage from thrips, but I havenโ€™t seen any more thrips in the greenhouse since the first treatment 10 or so days ago. Saw a leaf hopper in there though ๐Ÿ˜ก

Day 78. Just runs fine. Day 42 for Control garden. Biggest Incredible Bulk is amazing plant, very strong, should be really nice to harvest, 3 weeks veg is my shortest ever.... Thinking to leave them untouched, hope they will mature quicker, even without direct light, they grow amazing.. For now just heavy feed, reached 1100, normally 1200 is my max. Day 79. Girls are fine, plain water today. Thinking to leave Control Garden with all leaves, but despite them growing not under direct light they are 70+ cm height. Now they cause shadow and block air move... In doubts a bit... Day 83. Control garden is a lot behind and still stretching , took 12 leaves in total from 3 plants. Now second canopy will have more light, should really chop bottom branches and leaves, but maybe will do it on second defoliation round... All girls getting heavy feed 1250 ppm. Gorillas still too hungry, Cookies overfed as always... Hard grow for lazy hard stoner :)))

Day 49 - Still have issues...3BOG is still yellowing on most leaves, 4AM is still showing slowly developing Mg deficiency, and Sour Stompers are still losing leaves but it seems to have slowed. I think the Sour Stompers might only have 2-3 weeks left so I'll start the flush soon and hope for the best. Fed 4AM & 3BOG 2tsp/gal Tiger Bloom mixed in 1.5 gallons water. pH: 6.5 Day 50 - Watered Sour Stompers with 1.5 gallons worm tea Day 53 - Leaf issues seem to have finally stopped on the 3BOG and slowed on the 4AM. Sour Stomper 1 looking really bad but I think I finally understand the multitude of issues I've created so hopefully I get them to recover enough to make it to harvest. Day 54 - Watered 3BOG & 4AM 1.5 gallons at 6.7 pH Day 55 - Looks like it's about time to start flushing the Sour Stompers. Watered them .75 gallons each at 6.7 pH

Will increase the nutes slightly during the week and back off the Root Juice. Loving the Biobizz and loving the soil instead of Coco for a change. They are very healthy and loving life.

Hey mates, I'm happy with my first grow. I'm learning so much. Day 29: I'm looking like a hypochondriac, but for the plants, all I see I think it's a disease. Now I'm seem the older leaves getting yellowing, and gotting some brown/dark spots and saw little flies walking at the soil, I've googled it and can be fungus gnats, what I'm supposed to do? About the pH: I never measured the pH cause I'm using the pH Perfect products of Advanced Nutrients and they say you dont know care about this. But I've started to use mineral water, to see if have some difference. Obvious the mineral water is more puriest and clear than the tap water. Lets see. Day 30: I've did the defoliation on all seeds, but on Seed 2 and 3 I've just removed dead or yellow/brown leaves, and at the Seed 1 I've removed the most of fan leaves, leaving two or three at max. Day 34: I'm happy with these girls, Seed 3 I've did not LST and she have 49cm, Seed 2 I've did a soft LST and she have 45cm and 3 main colas, Seed 3 I've did a more little harder LST and she has only 33cm and I think has 4 or 5 main colas, I really dont know the exact number cause one of them is a little lower than the 4 others.
