1st Week of Vegetation, one of the Indicas (Hollands Hope) is early than others. Because of the weather and the cold, I preferred to put the seedlings under a 200W CFL bulb.

Another fun strain to run from Fastbuds, Bruce banner was amazing at a total of 83 days , came out with some thick dense resiny coated buds , an very sweet smell! Has very tight buds with tight stems so it would def be better to tie her down an open her up for some LST ! I highly recommend y’all trying Bruce Banner out , you won’t be disappointed!!

Hello everyone, fellow growers! my girls continue the vegetative phase without problems with the sog technique. We are testing a new line of fertilizers and so far they are doing pretty well. excellent nuggets are expected!

All 3 plants are adapting very well to LST, the shape its growing into have been allowing the light to reach further into the lower growth nodes and branches. I like to start bending the branches close to the main stem as early as week 3 of VEG. Now these 3 Northern Lights Auto seeds are from Sun West Genetics, they were all germinated, planted, trained, fed the same way they have been on the same controlled environment since day 1, the 3 are totally different, I know each plant is unique in its own way, but I find strange that 1 plant is taller and stronger than the other 2, the smaller one is growing weak leaves with signs of mutation, all 3 plants show signs of Magnesium deficiency, these 3 plants are sharing a grow tent with a Haze Auto from Seedsman, all 4 plants are under the same diet, the Haze have no signs of deficiencies or mutations, I guess that shows what good genetics look like. For the Magnesium deficiency I have mixed my own Epson salts into water and applied as a foliar spray, internet said the spray should be used every other week, wait 2 weeks to see results. Signs of Nutes burn, I decided to stop feeding for this coming week. The 3 NL leaves are looking unhappy, kind of clawing under, they look lifeless, I have ruled off a few potential problems such as: Wind Burn Under Watering Water PH Light Burn, just moved the QB higher to 17 inches from the highest canopy today. If any of you fellow growers have advice for the leaves, please let me know. Stay Lit folks 👩‍🌾🏻

Do you see that SWAMPMONSTER in the corner of the tent there ?? The Queen towers above the canopy and the rest of the plants lol. It's really interesting from using the Smart Proteins, i think how they work is that the plant is able to process them and compensate any kind of slight deficiency which means that each plant that gets the proteins is able to grow to it's maximum potential and at the same time grow to its **individual** potential... that's why each of these plants has so much "character", because if you look closely it's less a question of phenotype but more like "individual expression".... INTERESTING !!! Anyway that's about the visual... my main concern about these is how loud they f-ing smell !!! ITS PROBLEMATIC, so be conscious of that if you plant to grow these one day ! REALLY REALLY LOUD, honestly there should be an additional category on GD like "problematic" which is beyond the "strong smell" category. I have two large carbon filters on two 1330m3/h fans and it's a problem. Hope you understand how unusual that is for a plant in veg lol... I think the smart protein probably affects how strong the plants smell because all the plants seem more smelly than expected... TBH i'll fix the smell issue but hopefully it's a good sign and an indicator of the quality i can expect by harvest time? These also got two rounds of defoliation , and i flipped them to flower like 4 days ago. This was an exciting veg to me, but now is when it gets interesting, let's see how beautiful these flowers are !! Test genetics always have that little bit of mystery to them right? By the way, I'm often visiting this site, so drop me a message about whatever, especially if you have advice ! Thanks for following along with me, i appreciate it really ! ITS FLOWER TIME FOLKS LETS SEE! 🚀

This week was all about letting her recover from the cloning. Sadly most clones I took did not made it. Just 2 survived my inexperience hands. The good news is that miss Daisy it's doing so well I may be able to give it another try before flipping to flower. I have no rush for this harvest so will probably give it a try. After the cloning and some extra pruning she recovered in no time. The roots look good, just wish the nutrients did not stained them, that way would be easier to sight any root rot if present. 🗓️ Day - 28 ⏰ Hour - 8:30 am / 10:00 pm 🌬️Air Temp. - 74 / 77 💦Humidity - % 50 / 54 ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 630 / 650 ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 73 / 72 ⚗️PH - 6.1 / 6.1 🌿 Looks perky and happy after pruning. She’s is recovering very well. Her roots are showing new white hairs so seams she’s liking the higher nutrients levels. 🗓️ Day - 29 ⏰ Hour - 9:00 am / 🌬️Air Temp. - 76 / 💦Humidity - % 54 / ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 680 / ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 73 / ⚗️ PH - 6.1 / 6.1 📝 Added 4 Gallons of tap water starting feed for week #5 with higher nutrient concentration so ppm should stay around 600. Also added 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide to the reservoir. 🗓️ Day - 30 ⏰ Hour - 8:00 am / 🌬️Air Temp. - 76 / 💦Humidity - % 54 / ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 680 / ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 73 / ⚗️PH - 6.2 / 🌿 Bouncing back very well and has nice new roots coming out. 🗓️ Day - 31 ⏰ Hour - 8:15 am / 9:00 pm 🌬️Air Temp. - 75 / 76 💦Humidity - % 61 / 60 ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 680 / 710 ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 72 / 73 ⚗️PH - 6.2 / 6.2 🌱 Two clones left of Sour Diesel show small signs of root development. Other samples did not made it. 🗓️ Day - 32 ⏰ Hour - 8:10 am / 11:30 pm 🌬️Air Temp. - 75 / 76 💦Humidity - % 61 / 57 ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 710 / 740 ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 72 / 72 ⚗️PH - 6.2 / 6.2 🗓️ Day - 33 ⏰ Hour - 8:10 am / 11:00 pm 🌬️Air Temp. - 73 / 74 💦Humidity - % 49 / ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 770 / 800 ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 72 / 72 ⚗️PH - 6.2 / 6.2 🗓️ Day - 34 ⏰ Hour - 7:30 am / 10:00 pm 🌬️Air Temp. - 74 / 74 💦Humidity - % 52 / 53 ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 820 / 880 ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 72 / 72 ⚗️PH - 6.2 / 6.2 🗓️ Day - 35 ⏰ Hour - 7:30 am / 9:00 pm 🌬️Air Temp. - 73 / 74 💦Humidity - % 55 / 52 ⛽️ TDC (ppm) - 910 / 960 ⚱️Reservoir Tmp. - 71 / 71 ⚗️PH - 6.1 / 6.1

This is a seriously hard plant to take photos of, it's so big and lanky. She's on about a 20 degree angle at this point too, she's very top heavy 🤣 Very impressed with this girl. I almost tossed her out as a seedling due to her mutation; I've included a seedling photo to show the reader how far this plant has come. She has produced very dense and sticky buds with extremely strong aromas. She smells like candy and gas, just like a zkittles female would smell late in flower. It's been an easy grow. I'm expecting about 4 oz of high quality flower after dry and cure stages. I intend to press at least half of my yield with my rosin press. This seems like the perfect strain to make concentrates with due to the high terpene/trichome levels. I just added a photo of the Forbidden Runtz i grew in round 1 directly above round 2 flower for a comparison between the two. Round 1 is the two top buds that have more brown/red tone in colour. Round 2 are the lower two buds...a bigger, danker, and better version of the Forbidden Runtz I grew the first time. Please leave a comment to tell me what you think of the photo comparison. I will be planting one outside for round 3 shortly. Thank you growdiaries.com Thank you Fastbuds Thank you to all the growers who helps offer me advise when I needed it

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

Went away for seven days had a friend come by and water the garden Absolutely exploded since I’ve seen them last very pleased with all of the plants except for mystery auto number one. It is disappointing me some but hopefully the top will bring more growth. Can’t wait to see these continued to develop!!!

Bene amici growers come potete vedere la fioritura procede senza molti problemi. Ho innaffiato le piante per la prima volta con una soluzione adatta alla fioritura e ora staremo a vedere come pian piano cominceranno a gonfiarsi i nostri amati fiori. Le piante iniziano ad emanare un profumo inebriante, le Durban posion stanno già assumendo un colore violaceo mentre le critical sembrano un po' più in dietro. Vi ringrazio anticipatamente nel caso lasciate un like!!

Vale pues hoy empiezo a contar la primera semana de crecimiento, de un total de 4. Estamos a 13/02/23 y llevan 20 días desde la germinación. Hoy he regado ya con abono de crecimiento, en concreto uso el Boom Crecimiento de Boom nutrients y he añadido también CalMag Dentro de dos semanas haremos el trasplante, a ver si aguantan por que a este ritmo se van a salir de las macetas en 1 semana jaja. Os dejo un video también de una visión aérea con mi dron. Hola. Actualización de semana 19/02/23 Efectivamente como dije hace 7 días. Toca trasplante, han crecido muchísimo y es momento de que las raíces sigan creciendo con fuerza así que... trasplante. Entre el día 19/02/23 y el día 20/02/23 termino todo el trasplante, por ahora dejo terminadas 5 de 12 plantas. Especialmente he priorizado las autos ya que no me quiero esperar a trasplantar para que no entren en flora. Por ahora siguen vegetando y trasplantas! ESO ES!
