Hey all! Welcome to the first week of veg. She is doing great! I fed her on Monday (Jan 6th) with 1/16th tsp of seaweed extract by Green Rush Nutrients mixed in with dechlorinated 250ml tap water. The solution was set at 6.1pH. I fed her again with the same quantity and pH on Wednesday (Jan 8th). I have my humidifier on throughout at the lowest settings. I need to buy a hygrometer lol. Anyway, I fed her with 1/16th tsp of seaweed extract and 1/2 tsp of Green Rush Grow mixed in with 500ml of dechlorinated tap water. Her mommy (my wife) fed her this time on Saturday night (Jan 11th). The light intensity is now set to 100% and its still hanging 18 inches from the plant. This week, I will make sure to take daily pictures. Happy growing!

Topping

My first grow has been a great learning experience, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the reliable BioBizz soil and nutrients to the impressive performance of the Spider Farmer SF 1000, everything worked well together. Each component contributed to a successful harvest, and I’m excited to continue experimenting and improving my setup with new gear and techniques.💚

A note on last weeks goals: - Continuing LST has been very easy with this girl. Following a VPD chart and keeping a good environment has been key to establishing a successful low stress training regiment. In the last week I decided to use stainless steel nuts and bolts as weights. I tie them to the end of the side branches rather than tieing them down to the side of the pot. This makes it easier to water.. I will use this technique again, I really like it. I also pull my plants out of the tent and place them in a tote to water them and inspect them. - I've been playing with my CO2 generators .. adding more yeast, less sugar etc.. the highest CO2 concentration I've been able to achieve is 1050 ppm. With that in mind i will probably purchase a rotometer and a CO2 tank for future runs. Furthermore I think that the yeast and sugar combo could lead to an infestation if in not carefull (bugs are attracted to sugar and yeast). I have noticed my plants are praying for 15 hours a day though and I think the CO2 has been a game changer through vegetation. A note on my environment: I decided to add photos of some of my gear for my garden. This grow I decided to swap my intake and exhaust fan placement. With putting my exhaust on the FLOOR, the air in my tent is drawn from upwards towards the floor. This gives my plants proper contact time with the CO2. It also takes the heat from the top of my tent and pulls it downwards acting as a heat source for my crop... In my pictures you will notice my 4 inch inline fan and my 6 inch inline fan are attached to a secondary room. This helps me draw fresh air while releasing my exhaust away from my tent room. WHEN GOING INTO FLOWER I turn up my intake fan to get cool air to the top of my tent. The exhaust draws it down cooling my tent when the lights are turned up in the last stage of flower. As a new grower this has been the step to changing my entire grow. Everything is much healthier and I owe it all to my environment, and Fastbuds genetics. One more thing: I almost burnt my house down and electrocuted my ass with a cheap water heater... careful while playing with electricity and water 🤣🔥🔥⚡️ Next week's goals: - Turn up lights slowly - Continue to play with CO2 generators to try and achieve 1200+ ppm concentration - Continue training and defoliation - keep up pest management.. these fungus gnats keep trying to regroup and they're starting to hurt my feelings.. I get rid of them in my tent but they keep coming back! The bud sites are stacking nicely, I'm getting excited she starting to remind me of the Fastbuds Forbidden Runtz auto when she went into flower...and that was the best plant I've ever grown 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Happy growing everyone!

Week 3

.

here we see how the girls are advancing, the buds are becoming clearer and clearer which makes us feel that it will be a decent harvest at least, we cross our fingers.

Chopped her on day 83, sadly the last day is not on timelapse due to a camera firmware update and after the reboot it returned its angle to base and I didn't notice it. Stem and Buds turned slightly purple in the last days. The ORP probe is not calibrated and values are to be taken with a grain of salt. Values are average of the day.

All three plants are hermaphrodites, however, plants 1 and 2 are showing minimal signs of male with seeds developing only on lower nodes, while plant 3 looks mostly male with a few pistils only on the very top nodes. I've decided to pluck the seeds from plants 1 & 2 as they develop, and to toss plant 3 to make room for the other 2. It's not ideal and I plan to buy feminized seeds or clones for my next grow, but the bud I got the seeds from was actually really good so I'm going to try to take 1 and 2 to harvest.

DAY 4 In flowering for This big bushy pheno gelato 41 Feed compost tea & SST tea Only no bottles no Nutes

Blue Dream Xtreme is growing good. She is stretching, but no other signs of flowering yet. I did a solution change today and adjusted level of nutrition. She is a lighter green then others. I need to increase her nitrogen level just a little. She is growing under a Spider Farmer SE5000 light at 70 percent. She is in a New Level Hydro bucket.

Here we go!

The plant is now in its 3rd week of flowering, they look very healthy and the first pistils can be seen. The smell starts to become slightly sweet. The first signs that the fertilizer is working can also be seen, spores are forming on the soil. I'm very excited to see what these magnificent specimens will bring 💚💚💚

Hoy fue la peor semana del cultivo y de mi experiencia cultivando, siendo el tercer día de la semana 5 se me desprendió el ventilador en el indoor y se me cae sobre una planta quebrando la punta principal (blue moby). día siguiente queriendo doblar el tallo principal lo arranque literal, ahora está en un mal estado, en comparación a la blue moby que recupero. Leo criticas y concejos! Bh

I will probably veg these an extra week or two before flipping them. Was going to make this the final week but I don’t think they’re quite there yet.

This is actually week 3 for 7 of these ladies. I started with 7 Sour Bubbly and then waited for the Northern Cheese Haze and Hubbabubbasmelloscope to come in to pop in the dirt. So in order to keep this journal for both of those start dates I'll just meet in the middle at week 2 haha.

Hermosa planta, sigue su crecimiento como una campeona, esta semana ha comenzado a despuntar flores, empieza a llenarse pelos blancos, consume bastante agua y nutrientes pero vale la pena ver como los utiliza!! 💪💪💪 Esta semana le voy a colocar un tutor, a planta se esta yendo ligeramente hacia la izquierda y es un potencial riesgo de quiebre una vez que cargue los cogollos. 😎 Beautiful plant, continues its growth as a champion, this week it has begun to show off flowers, white hairs begin to fill, it consumes a lot of water and nutrients but it is worth seeing how it uses them !! 💪💪💪 This week I am going to place a tutor, a plant is going slightly to the left and is a potential risk of breakage once the buds are loaded. 😎
