Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

This week was extremely hot. No heat stress on the girl. I love the progress so far.

Increased the Big Bud feeding this week. Looking over the photos it doesn't appear that anything spectacular happened this week. It is almost as if she has stagnated in growth. No signs of nutrient burn so hopefully she packs on some weight soon. The video added includes a variety of strains. C4-matic, Green Crack auto, Stardawg auto and the Californian Snow auto. The Californian snow is the 4th plant zoomed in during the video.

i was using bottle water since the firat day but dint realise that the water was filtered (probably) and had only 7mg/l of calcium ,mag and iron. Instead of buying cal +mag (which i will buy for my next grow) i checked other brands of bottles water and found Evian that has 80 mg/l calcium ,25mg/l mag (i know its not worth it but i was feeling safer to use "bottle" water at the begining because it was also phd at 6.5) so my question now is : plant had a cal+mag def . Considering that before i was giving it only 7mg/l of cal+mag now that im giving it 80mg/l of calc and Around 40-50mg/l magnesium just by changing water brand also 4 ml of alg a mic that has cal+mag + molasses that iv started this week 1(tablespoon has around 100mg of calcium) .Do you think it will be enought to fill the needs of the plant? As i said buds are still growing normally and plant has another 14-17 days to still fatten the buds :) Today if seen some orange hairs on them . thank you thank you.

In the final week, highly resinous flowers that I cannot wait to sample from the 3 phenos. Had more pics and vids but the site won’t let me upload. Hope everyone has a great week! GHL

November 2nd marked another week of flower with "Pepper". She is a beautiful plant of jewel tones of greens, glistening under the frosty coating. We're getting close to the end. November 3, 2021, Wednesday. Nothing new to report. November 4, 2021, Thursday. Watered thoroughly. Her calyxes are swelling before my eyes, it's such a beautiful site. November 5, 2021, Friday. She's such a lovely site with buds just swelling by the minute. I believe she'll be ready to harvest sooner than I think. November 6, 2021, Saturday. Nothing new to report. November 7, 2021, Sunday. Day of rest.

Nueva poda de apicales y una de silicio. Con 26 dias Harto de los plomos me deshice de ellos y así seguiran creciendo , tal cual quedaron. No pretendo hacerles mucho más, más adelante igual doblamos alguna rama para guiarla y quitar algun chupóptero. A los 26 dias también se subió la potencia del lumatek al 75%. unos 220 W. áprox. y así pasaran hasta que se cambie el fotoperiodo.

Day 64 (18/05/18) - Impressed with the size of these girls, especially the StarDawg but not really impressed with the stated time from the seed breeder as it was advertised as 8-9 week strains and I can see them easily going another 2 weeks maybe 3 unless they change overnight. One of the girls is over 3ft tall which I can understand she will need more time to fill out etc etc.. I'm a photoperiod grower but thought I'd try out a few autos which in all honesty has been fun just though't they would be a bit quicker. A side from me moaning, they all look really good and i'm certain I'll get some really nice healthy flowers. First auto grow but definitely not new to growing. Always been against autos but they are not that bad, my final decision will come from the finish.. Yield, smoke quality and buds. But all in all, so far so good. Well done from fastbuds

Unfortunately, I had to correct the first week of flowering as the last week of the growth phase because I didn't reset my timer and the lamp therefore ran at 18/6 for another 5 days Some plants are a little lighter, some are a little darker, they all received about the same water I'm assuming it's phenos Otherwise they look really good and grow into the net. Each flower gets a field of the net Celebrate well with your loved ones, I hope you had a nice Christmas and I wish everyone a good start into the new year

Week 8 Flower Flush flush flush 💦🚽💦🚽💦 It's extremely important to flush for at least 14 days when using synthetic nutes, or any bottled nutes in my opinion. The aim is to make her cannibalize (fade) as much as possible before she's chopped. By doing this, she's using up her stored nutrients, causing the leaves to eventually die. The better the flush the cleaner the smoke 👌💨 even when in an organic set up, the plant needs to be nicely faded before being harvested. Otherwise she's still full of nutrients. I still feel I'll be able to get an even better flush when I eventually make the switch to RO water, as my tap water holds a ppm value of approx 150. It's not too much, but 0 is always better. She was taken down on Day 57 flower, after a 16 Day flush. I didn't want to take her any further as she was quite stressed being so close to the light. So to avoid getting seeds I waited until she had a beautiful fade before giving her the chop ✂️ I always take my girls down about 30mins before the light turns on so there is minimal chlorophyll production in the plant. This is to ensure the best smell, taste and overall burn after drying and curing. A subtle but very sweet-ish tropical fruit skin kind of smell to her. Her buds are super dense and covered in trichomes. I trimmed off all fan leaves and then each branch was hung in my drying box and placed in a cool area. She was dry after 6 days and ready to be dry trimmed and jarred for curing. I'll post those pics with the harvest update! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

She's thriving and really fattening up now and I can't believe she's made it this far, day 63 of a very late outdoor summer grow, a couple more weeks 👌🏻

Amazing!!!!! a wonderful girl, she managed to keep herself so beautiful and strong :) she was not visited very often :) the house has a wonderful smell of tropical fruits :) Thanks to Dutch Passion for the opportunity :)
