Day 42 flowering: What a start to this update with the #3 Mango cream being ready for harvest NOW!!!. She has been maturing very quickly during the last few weeks and I have been concerned that she was somehow going towards a toxicity issue. Her buds began darkening really early in flower and I thought it looked very different to the others. As the last week has passed I have been looking at her trichrones with the microscope as they oustils had all gone majority brown too. They had mostly clouded and a couple of odd amber spheres were visible too. as the week went on I saw more begin to amber so took her out a day ago too have a dark period before trimmed for drying . She is the first I have ever had this quick in decades of growing !. The video shows her colours off well and her maturity to harvest too. @exoticseeds have a winner here. lol she smells amazing too with a really nice icky sticky feel . I will update her progress once trimmed. #1 is the smaller of the 3 remaining ladies now ansneven with the #4 beingna week behind her she is still the smallest in height. Her buds are nice and chunky and just as we hit the budswell period too , so shebshould finish with some nice sized colas. #2 Mango is a beast of a plant and by far the largest. Her main is a beast of a cola already with the side branching really picking up some size now too. A brilliant example of the strain I think. Her main is really tacky to touch and the nice smell it leaves all over my fingers is mouth-watering now. She should yield very well. #4Mango at day 35 looks very like the #3 plant for her bud appearance. slightly different pheno i think. More like a wedding cake strain but still very nice and colourful. She has been using pellets in the soil mix and just waterings but they are not good in my opinion and I have had to add megacrop to keepnher growing well now I waited as long as I dare to see if the pellets helped in flower but even using the second part of the feed has not helped. The megacrop has already begun to colour them back up to a more healthy green so i am hoping I can keep her happy until harvest now. She is pushing out a very nice fruity smell now too. I am looking forward to trying the photoperiod strains I have from exotic now and will be germinating Herz Og and Quick sherbet in a couple of weeks time for the summer run. Top genetics from a great breeder . Thank you Exotic. ###UPDATE###UPDATE###UPDATE### The Mango cream #3 has been in the dark for the past 48hrs and has now been trimmed and is hanging to dry. She will be dried low and slow now for approx 10-14 days at around 15-17°C in a large cardboard box with a steady air exchange. She has a surprising size and weight to her for such a short time from seed and is as finished as any plant i have harvested before . What an amazing little lady she has been to grow She looked a little stunted initially and soon filled the pot she was in. 20L was way too small for these genetics to flourish and at least a 30L would be my advice. Happy days , let's see what she yields dried while we wait for her sisters to join her. Be well Growmies

Very happy with how these are growing

Germ day 1: I started 7 Fast Buds seeds today. Dropped them directly in pure sunshine #4 mix with a pinch of mychorrizae around the seed. Gave them a thorough spray of Voodoo Juice and 6.5 ph water. I had great success with the last round of Fast Buds I ran and have seen some great here on GD. I can’t see why this would be any different. Happy Growing 🌱 There’s a couple pics of a just for fun outdoor Fast Buds Amnesia Haze. It was made from an Amnesia Haze plant I grew past summer and was pollinated by agricultural Hemp. This one is pollinated as well, but a big beast nonetheless. Shows how big these Fast Buds plants can get. 👍🏻👍🏻 Aug 18: Bubblegum, skunk and Russian broke ground, should be standing tall today. Aug 20: 100% success in germination.

Looking good for my first autos in a while.

A bit late to post this, been busy. They have started to flower vigorously and stretch a lot. The 2 different methods are showing different results. The plants nearest the AC aren't doing as well, possibly because of the AC But also the different growing method. The fungus gnats are becoming a nuisance as are the white fly i now have which is apparently quite common in THAILAND. The are a pest and i am trying to control naturally with yellow paper and a mild soapy solution. All in all i am happy with the grow so far, i have watered with a guano and Azomite mix and look forward to the coming weeks. I have included a picture of one of my phenos on the other tray, a beautiful Zapplz starting to show it's colour. Biggest challenges are Humidity being in the tropics in the wet season, and the pest starting to appear.

sound week on the soil. this grow is really lovely. starting to see some promising bud sites. I think i might trim too much but i want the buds to get the light. topped them and they recovered very fast. still yet to see some purple. dont want to mess with pH just yet

Still a Mystery… Or Maybe Not? 🤔🌿 Alright, growmies—this “Mystery Autoflower” is keeping me on my toes. The more I observe her, the more convinced I am that she’s no auto at all. At this point, there should be pistils everywhere... but nope, still no sign of preflowers. That’s definitely not typical for an autoflower this far in, and I’m starting to think I might’ve accidentally popped a Red Hot Cookies seed instead. 😅 Well… turns out my so-called "Mistery Autoflower Magic" from Sweet Seeds wasn’t quite what I thought she was. After week after week of no pistils and a stretch that just wouldn’t stop, I had my suspicions—and now it’s confirmed: She’s not an auto at all, but a photoperiodic Red Hot Cookies! 😅 Honestly, I’m not even mad. She’s been growing beautifully, showing strong structure and healthy vigor all along. She did stretch nicely over the past days, which had me thinking bloom was kicking in—but so far, it’s just veg vibes. Still, she’s looking healthy and happy, so I’m not complaining. 💧 Feeding Routine this Week: 🔸 BioBizz Grow, Bloom and Top Max 🔸 CalMag 🔸 Alg-a-Mic 🔸 Silica spray (every 3 days for strong leaves) 🔸 Homebrewed compost tea (2 days after feeding) 🔸 Effective Microorganisms (2 days after that) 🌡️ pH: 6.5 📈 EC: 1200 Let’s see what the next week brings—maybe she’s just fashionably late. Either way, she’s looking bushy, balanced, and ready for whatever’s next. Stay tuned! 🌱💫

Flowers are coming along nice. Im happy with my new light. Just changed my fertilizer from pre bloom to blooming. Thinking about getting big bud and bud candy.

Easy to grow. Started out pretty rough due to my PH being way to low and honestly plants were underfed being in coco now seems the plants want food sooner then they did in soil. So around day 5 start slowly introducing Megacrop to them. Other then easy to grow fun as fuck smells so good. The yield im really happy with i was only expecting 3 zips tbh. The buds smell so good right out the herbsnow dryer and lightly trimmed and placed into jars for the curing process. I am beyind happy considering the timing and everything. Will be a lovely 420 treat. Thank you to everyone who watched me grow this one :).

Had to go to new orleans for 5 days, my auto-irrigation setup failed and was barely giving water to the plants , they grew slower than they could have, so i may have stunted a bit of their growth this week. Despite that, they seem healthy and buds are on one of them are starting to mature. The other 3 are close behind. I posted a video of the timelapse during the time that my auto-irrigation failed. You can see the spurts of growth from a faulty irrigator only releasing a miniscule amount of water. This resulted in the plant slowly wilting, then exploding in growth when a tiny amount of water was released. (about a cup every two days, for about a week.) Otherwise, been watering when pots dry out, then a full runofof fill carbon filtered tap water (un-phed) treated with 3mg per gallon cal-mag suppemented Besides that, no nutrients have been added because I've been using FFOF, and the soil is WAY too hot. Will not use again

Better weather and suddenly it grows nicely...☀️💪🌱🍀

Big bud stop 32 day Overdrive start 33day Terpinator 1 of 10 days 4ml/l all flowering phase

Eccoci qui!!! Finalmente si inizia con la fioritura, ho atteso che venisse mostrato il prefiore femminile prima di switchare e così facendo ho riempito lo spazio di coltivazione del box Da ora inizia la fase più bella della coltivazione, sono super carico e non vedo l'ora di raccogliere i frutti!!! PS. Ho fatto circa 70 cloni dagli scarti che ho tagliato poichè non prendevano bene la luce Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🔥🌲

Esta semana más de lo mismo aunque aún no ha terminado...jeje, le tuve que quitar el poso de café xq se le puso una pelusilla un tanto sospechosa(y mejor prevenir que curar ☝️)voy a hacerle un té de hummus, al volver el último fin de semana la he visto con los colores ligeramente más claros en algunas hojas(no sé si falta de nitrógeno o si es un problema de Ph)🤔, estoy planteandome poner mas luz y poner ventilación,🧐 al final de esta semana además quizá empiece a oler a ortiga en la habitación (ojalá 🎃☝️🕺) 🙌👌Quiero que crezca como la levadura!!!!🌵😋

Really starting too fatten up and even signs of ripening I gave her one week at the beginning of this week and am now just feeding water,

Both plants harvested on 15/02/23

Cut a few of the colas off to dry,alot of the tops are done and now just focusing on the bottom buds to ripen and turn amber :) Had a smoke today of the tallest cola,smokes great and haven't been this high in a long time so impressed with her !

Day 30 Feb. 18th- I feel like everything is going great -all plants are now in final 7 gallon containers..have used a lot of soil! -I have been tying the plants down as much as possible -March 2nd will be 42 days and I think that is when I will switch to 12/12 -Day 35 Feb. 24th- I need trellis netting soon I retie branches constantly for inner growth HULKBERRY and GREEN GELATO are growing similar...LSD and ROYAL GORILLA are growing similar! -Very interesting!! * I have color coated the plants like I should have a couple weeks ago -GREEN GELATO has all green pipe cleaners now...HULKBERRY has all yellow pipe cleaners. very long branches and small inner growth LSD is in all purple pipe cleaners. tying it down has done wonders! it has awesome inner growth! Now the ROYAL GORILLA in all orange pipe cleaners! This plant is a pain in the ass lol. The inner growth and spacing is insanely close!!! so many shoots all tightly together. I have tied down anything I can. Unsure how it will work in budding next week

So this week I am starting to notice some watering issues I have cause early in the veg cycle I should have a payed a little more attention but noticed that I habe water logged my soil in a single plant causing soil lock and not completely drying out like the others between watering I will try to correct course this finally week of veg before changing over to flower. But the smells are definitely stronger excited to see this last bit of growth and it's time to start taking clones for another run
