The buds are growing bigger still and the tent is really starting to smell, the stems have turned red from being close to the grow lights and my center buds have foxtailed, i now know for future runs to stay more on top of training so the plant cant grow as tall. pistils are starting to turn, If i had to guess I would say 11 weeks seems like an accurate flowering time I have also let them get dry a few times.

Week 6 of 8 begins! Mandarin dreams 1&2 are looking great, bulking up and smelling delish! MD1 is the runt of the two pheno's and has a shitty smell, MD2 is the stronger of the two and has the smell of a citrus cleaner. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week for another episode of growfessor theatre! 👽🌳💚

Added Buddy into the feed halfway through this week. Really impressed with these nutrients so far. All plants look happy, healthy and green. This plant is at the back of the timelapses.

This is more for my personal notes than a proper update. Day 24: have the environment right where I want it. Watering 3 times per day(1min) @.7L/min. 6.03pH/EC1250 Run-off range 1500 - 1700 (higher than target), was able to bring this down to 1400 range which is great. Removed a few inner fan leaves to make space for growth tips, and tucked big fan leaves. Day 28, all plants have reached the screen, tucking as needed. Supercropped some branches to help spread them out. Will flip on day 30 to determine sex, holding thumbs for lots of girls. Cheers

I pollinated a side bud of this girl and her seeds are developing quickly. Which is exciting for the sake of future grows. Other then that the buds are not super big at all but look super quality so I am happy with how things are progressing. As the week comes to an end the trichromes are really coming in and she is starting to smell very nice. I think one more week of flowering to fatten up a little more and then I will flush to finish. I learned that I started to feed flowering nutes to early and so my first two autos did not get super tall as a result. Learning a lot with my first indoor grow and first time with autos, I read a really solid breakdown of Autoflowers lifecycle that was super informative. I'll leave here, and post it with my final harvest post here. Knowledge is power 😎 LIFECYCLE OF AN AUTO A common question I see is when to switch autos from veg to bloom. Many people are under the impression that as soon as they see the first flowers it's time to switch. Perhaps a little explanation of the life cycle of autos will help to clarify this. Weeks 1 - 3. Once you've started your seeds and they break the surface of the soil, they are in their seedling stage. The first set of leaves to appear will usually single fingered, followed by a second set that may still be single fingered or perhaps 3 fingered. Once that second set appears growth will start to accelerate as the new leaves provide more photosynthesis. This process will continue, more new leaves, faster growth. Depending on the type of soil in use, mild vegetative nutes can be introduced at week 2. By week 3 most plants will start to show their sex. Males will start to produce pollen sacks and females will display pistils. Weeks 4 - 6. The plants are now entering a pre flowering stage. During this time the plants should exhibit explosive growth, often as much as a new set of nodes and 1" vertical growth a day. This is the time when they will gain most of their vertical height. Many people make the mistake of switching from vegetative to flowering nutrients at this point, assuming that since they see flowers it must be the proper time. This is incorrect. If the switch to flowering nutes is made at this time the vertical growth will stop and the plant will put it's energy into producing buds. If you need to keep your plants small, or want them to finish earlier, they by all means switch nutes at this point. But if you want to get the most out of your plants continue feeding vegetative nutes until you see the vertical growth slow and stop. Depending on the strain that will usually be sometime during week 5 or 6. Weeks 7 - 9. By now vertical growth has stopped and the switch to flowering nutrients has been made. The buds will start to fill out and put on weight, becoming hard and tight. Pistols will start to change from white to brown, orange, red, etc. By now the plants will also have developed a strong smell. Toward the end of this phase the large primary and smaller secondary fan leaves will begin to turn yellow. This is an indication that the plant is moving toward the end of it's life. Weeks 10 - 11. At this time flowering nutes should be discontinued and only plain pHed water fed to flush the remaining nutrients from the soil and improve the taste. Yellowing of the fan leaves will continue as the plant draws the stored energy from them. Eventually they will die and fall off. By the time that the smaller leaves that come from out of the buds will also start to turn yellow. Then it's time to harvest. I know that many of you are thinking that the seed bank said the plants will finish in 8-9 weeks, so why are you saying they take 10-11? The claims made by the seed banks are somewhat deceptive. If you switch to flowering nutes at week 3 or 4 the plants can finish in the times the seed banks say but they will remain small and not reach their full potential yield. Years of growing by myself and others has shown that autos do best if you follow this time line. Of course, there will always be variations depending on the strain, the environment, nutrients, etc. This information is meant to only serve as a general guideline.

The flush begins for super lemon haze! What an awesome grow this lady has been. Running nutes at half the dosage compared to my previous grows and this lady was pretty happy. She did show some deficiency throughout the grow, but she did much better overall with less nutes, compared to my previous SLH grows. She's got about 5-10% amber, 20-30% cloudy and the rest are clear. She also has a moderate lemon aroma. Buds are very dense and larger than any previous SLH buds I've grown. So pumped to get this lady chopped, dried and cured, that lemon haze flavor just blows my mind and taste buds away! Thank you for taking a look 👽🌳

Ahh shit, here we go again. After 2 month, I'm ready to grow again. This time it's gonna be Lemon AK, cuz its summer you know, not indica time. I'm using same lamp, same DIY growbox but with different reflective material. Gonna use Air Pot , i think it will be better than smartpot, will see. I have chosen some interesting combinating of nutrients for this plant, some from Advanced Nutrients and GHE, hope it works great. First seed that i started to germinate on 23/6 didnt germinate, i guess it was my fault cuz have put seed in refrigerator, and temperature was bouncing between 7.8c- 14c degrees, i thing it was a problem, so no pretension to fastbuds, you guys are awesome. Bought a new timer, set to 18/6 light. 3/7 Bought and started to germinate new seed, checked 24 hours later and its already opened, will plant after 48 hours, mb earlier. 7/7 Planted seed today. 9/7 After morning watering and turning on the lights, plant finally sprouted. 10/7 is first day, watering 2 times a day, on morning and evening. About 50-70ml under stem using syringe, rest 400+ml around plant. Day 2 - 500ml with RootPlus. Day 3 - 500ml with nutrients. Day 6 - Switched lights from 18 to 20 hours. Fans are now turned on 24/7. Intake fan gives a plant some nice breeze. Had no time so watered at night, 1L water under and near plant, and another 1.5L all over pot so it can last until tomorrow after's morning. Day 7 - Plant is showing great progress. No water today. New set of leaves showed up. Very happy with this week. Peace.

🌸 Eternity Grow Cup — Week 16 (Flower Week 5) 🌸 What a week it has been in the garden! The bounce back from last week’s defoliation has been nothing short of spectacular. The girls took it like true champions — vibrant, strong, and absolutely loving their environment. Episode 19 on YouTube will shows it best in 4K: a garden covered in frost, energy, and pure beauty from every angle. From top canopy to undergrowth, everything is stacking up, sparkling, and showing off. 🌱 Feeding & Nutrients Update: This week’s reservoir was all about precision and balance. We made a powerful blend designed to meet their blooming needs with care and control. Here’s the nutrient mix: • Breaking Powder: 24g per 50L • All-In-One Liquid • Regulator • System Clean (because clean roots are happy roots) • Green Sensation for that extra bloom push We started with: • EC: 0.04 • pH: 5.94 • Temp: 19.5°C And after everything blended beautifully: • EC: 2.33 • pH: 6.2 • Temp: 20.7°C Perfectly balanced. The girls responded immediately — color, posture, and trichome production have all visibly improved. CO₂ — Controlled and Conscious: Our TrolMaster MBS-S8 CO₂ Sensor is a silent hero in the tent. With real-time readouts, we’re always in tune with the environment, keeping CO₂ dialed in just right to boost growth without overdoing it. This sensor has given me the confidence to tweak and learn, keeping everything optimized for life. 🔆 Lighting & Spectrum Tuning: Sharing is caring — not just in smoke (😉) but in photons too. And this grow is a masterclass in light distribution: • Model 1s above are delivering that precision-tuned spectrum. • We’re currently using more deep red and far red, lowering the white and boosting UV — perfect for this flowering stage. • Below, the ICL 300s are creating magic. They’re lighting up the underside and giving those lower buds the love they deserve. Bottom to top — the light is reaching, and it’s showing. Photos this week include each of the four spectrum channels on display — white, far red, deep red, and UV — because this garden is more than just growth… it’s a symphony of light and life. 💨 Airflow, Structure, and Style: Let’s not forget airflow — our system is dialed. Between extraction, the AeroFan, and vortex placements, everything circulates like a dream, supporting this insane terpene profile and trichome party. We are dancing in the rhythms of harmony and structure. 🌟 Final Notes: Each of the Runtz phenos #1–5 is a queen in her own right. They’re developing character, expressing personality, and it’s such a joy to witness it unfold. This week is proof of what happens when care, science, and love combine. Thank you to all the growers out there following this journey. Your support means everything. Huge gratitude to GrowDiaries, Plagron, Zamnesia for this Eternity Cup and for all,to all my sponsors, and to you reading this. Lovers, haters, dreamers — we’re all growing together.

Bene bene scusate il ritardo 😌 di un giorno come nell' altro diario.. purtroppo ho problemi in famiglia con mia nonna che nn sta molto bene e non ci sto molto con la testa e nn riesco a stare dietro come meriterebbero l attenzione massima tutti i progetti. Anche nelle descrizioni , considerazioni, opinioni , mi piacerebbe avere più tempo x farlo x descrivere davvero bene come le ragazze stanno esplodendo di vita ! Apparte questo velocemnte posso dire che la ragazza che sta crescendo con un soil dinamico sinergico creato con micorizia e funghi benefici, melassa e comunque tutto completamento organico, della linea di Bio Tabs , sta crescendo davvero bene , un verde intenso sintomo di prosperità, ho solo aggiunto 3 ml di pk bio , ma 😅 potevo anche evitarlo dato che stava già benone!! E si vede nelle foto non c'è nulla che posso dire di negativo su di lei per ora ! Mentre la secondo ragazza , io nn avendo mai usato il nutrimento della linea RQS, probabilmente sono stato un po' leggero con i nutrienti e si vede che è andata in carenza di calcio e magnesio . Ora ho provveduto ad aggiungere al nutrimento solito che gli do, quindi vediamo come va!! 🙏 Ringrazio come al solito la luce fantastica che fa prosperare le mie piante come fosse un ☀️ in miniatura!!! Mars hydro la migliore luce che posso consigliare a tutti se avete un grow box piccolo come il mio o cmq anche più grande da un metro x metro e altro 180 cm o 200 cm sarebbe l ideale.. ma 😄 purtroppo ora nn posso permetermela quindi va bene così ! Ringrazio RQS dei semi spettacolari che consiglio a tutti! Buon 420 a tutti! 🐱😽💪👊🧙‍♂️🌱🌿🌲💨

This plant has stacked a lot due to the lights. I removed a few leafs to help light get to the under branching to promote it's growth. Feed her with a bit of liquid seaweed and molasses and she's happy and loving life.
