Actually kind of glad the light fell on her two weeks back - right before flower and you can tell she's about to bush out. I've been diligently defoliating and tying her down at each developing node. Every day i seem to be greeted by new growth. In other words, she responds great in high stress situations! I may top my new Purple Lemonade purposefully since this one responded so well. Not much else to say... God speed fellow growers!!

The veg cycle went well and with out any major issues. Even the the pH was bouncing, she never showed signs of deficiency or stress. It wasnt until flower set in that they got real sensitive to the pH fluctuations and I had to change up some of my nutes to get her back in line but damage was doe that prevented her from swelling up in time before the trichs started to really go amber. Lesson learned, stick to tried and true nutrients and only change up a bit at a time. I have not given up on masterblend nutrients, they veg'd great on it. I will try it again this time with proper pH down instead of the TNB. Once I have processed the trim and larf into dry ice hash, I'll update with more pics and weights of hash. I also feel that heavy defoiling would have helped greatly as well. They both had thick bushy centers and I let Lloyd go more natural and Harry I defoiled some along the way. Harry produced more and nicer quality buds vs no defoil Lloyd. Running a dutch bucket set up for the first time was a big learning curve from using the largest grade perlite to reservoir size to system layout and maintenance. I really enjoyed the overall hands off watering but would recommend going with a much larger reservoir than twice your buckets capacity, milder ec swings and less top offs. Now I am fully impressed with the lighting. I only used 220 watts in a 4x2 tent, yes only 220 watts but still yielded 344g of dried buds or 1.57g/watt plus another 200g of larfy stuff for the hash/edible pile plus a good amount of trim. Never had any heat issues and they just simply put out the PAR like no other for the watts. I have ordered a 3rd qb288 to go in my tent for my next run going on now. Lloyd dried over an 11 day period at a temp range of 64 to 69F with rh 58 to 64%. Harry had a better manicure trim and I removed a lot of small leaf matter from Harry and harry dried out in only 6 days in the same room. Harry is more foxtail sativa in structure vs Lloyd. Smoke report I decided to try not flushing this grow to see how it goes. Being a hydro run, I feed all the way until harvest and the taste is very smooth, not harsh by any means. Very strong culinary herbs and spice flavors with a subtle fruit pie finish (think spiced christmas fruit pies). Absolutely delicious even without a long cure. Aroma is gaining daily and it just gets better. Effect is immediately felt in the cerebral cortex. Very uplifting creative feeling pleasant high. It's great for brain storming, organizing the grow room, and very conversational (I'm more of a resevered person but cant shut up on this). If I had to guess potency, i would put her in the 15 to 20% range. Effects linger for hours but the main rush is done in about 90 to 120 minutes. I would definitely grow again. Made dry ice hash today, hand shredded up 8 oz of larf and 2.5 oz of trim, sifted over a parchment paper lined table. I only have a 73 and 220 bag. 73 or purest yielded 9g, 220 first shake yielded an additional 16g, and 220 2nd shake yielded 30g for a total of 54g of kief

(wednesday, start week 8) plants both start flowering, the water in the Dwc has only 400 ppm. this plant drinks a lot instead of feeding later on this week: changed water to 650ppm (friday) soil plant looks like its over or underwatered. i used 1/3 perlite and water once a week 1 liter. the pot weighs normal.. maybe i should keep watering everyday half a liter ? the video and pictures of these problems are added to this week, my PH meter was broke causing me to give the wrong Ph for a while.. i now use the liquid ph test kit from GHE, she starts to look better now. ill be happy to finish this i dont like all the leaves on this strain

*Update Day 36 (1/26)* Everything is looking up for the Berry and WW, Bubblegum got attacked by my cat. Lost a branch possibly two. =( Other then that it's coming right along. Added scrog net *Update Day 38 (1/28)* Watered Berry and WW. Bubblegum was watered/fed yesterday. *Update Day 40 (1/30)* Watered/fed Berry and WW Replaces my two 600w Vivosun, with a single 1200w Vivosun led/cob light. Nothing was wrong with the two 600w. Upgraded hoping it will save some money on electric. *Update Day 41(1/31)* Watered Bubblegum

Well not to much to report this week had a lot of tiny issues with the grow , the temperature was a big problem . Getting that fixed improved the overall health of this girl .. besides the cold she also had some air circulation problems as well plus lol the light switch for timer was put on 24h for a few days by the wife so I'm hoping for the best ..no hermies I hope ...cheers canna family

Well this week hasn't brought many surprises she so doing good and responding to her environment ...The overall health is good and the plants have been putting on weight these last few weeks ... Can't wait to see where this girl goes and how big the buds will get here's to hoping for the best with this lady .

I forgot to add and mention that I also used to Ching and Beastie Bloom as well as open sesame been growing for 5 years and only use Fox Farm nutrients every crop was successful ask for fast Bud genetics well that auto speak for itself big and potent my get off work smoke night night 25% THC or somewhere in that range but it's potent

Well she has been growing very nicely and has put on some weight , the smell and density of the buds is nice to see. I've been a fan of dinafem since day 1 and she has been the best producing girl since the get go ...when other plants showed signs of stress she just pushed through happy to be growing this beauty can't wait for the next few weeks to get here ...cheers canna fam

Day 109 for this long finishing girl. She’s huge and heavy and dongs for days. I’m so impressed with her. She’s been taking on weight like wild. Gave her a pre flush and one huge feeding. Going to give her an extra long flush like sativas enjoy. She almost towers over me. Huge bitch. So happy with her.

She smells and looks amazing! I’ll have to dry and cure before I taste, but the aroma she’s putting off is that of a deep berry smell with some serious lemony diesel undertones. I love it so much, her trichs are thick, and almost all cloudy, (I opted for a bit of an early harvest because I have surgery tomorrow) resin production is off the charts, just lightly touching the buds while they’re still on the plant left my fingers sticking together. Big ups to Fastbuds Genetics for this cultivar. Definitely gonna be a restock soon.

Somehow she didn't grow up much this week, just 1cm. But she put out a lot of leaves. Her colour is still too yellow for my liking, still monitoring it.

Wow what happened this week? Doubled her height!!! From 45cm to 88cm tall!! She's gonna be a big girl I think! Flowering underway now so the stretch should slow down next week 💪

Day 25 🎉 she’s beautiful!!!! I can’t wait for her. She got low stress trained and responded wonderfully. I am very very excited for this strain I’ve never grown her out. 🔥 she should Start to pre flower any moment.

Day 57 she’s beautiful happy loving life. I can’t wait for her to be done. Mhhhhh my Favorite.

Day 56 she’s happy and loving life. I can’t wait till she’s finished. Lord knows she’s shines bright like a diamond 🎉👌🏻 I can’t wait for her she’s just so beautiful I can’t even hardly.

1/21: I rotated the edge plants and foliar fed with big bloom a few times today. 1/22: I fed them about 3/4 gallon each after top-dressing their pots with a heaping tablespoon of happy frog cavern culture( bat and seabird guano). That will make some P and K available to them over the next 2 weeks as they begin to flower. Aside from that, I went with full strength veg nutes because I'm still seeing some yellowing and som cal-mag deficiencies. I also added some more liquid molasses. They're gonna need the energy as they start their stretch. I foliar fed a few times throughout the day with big bloom. 1/23: EXPLOSIVE GROWTH last night...love it...everybody is stretching...pretty sure the 14/10 photoperiod is working!! I foliar fed with big bloom a few times today. 1/24: Definitely sativa. Neither one liked the FIM job.. 1/25: I tied down the mains on both of them and watered with a half-gallon each containing bembe, cal-mag, signal, armor si, and humic acid. 1/26: Re-tied the mains again,,,strong branches! 1/27: That's it for week #5!
