Sept 25th a.m.
- fed ea. Congo and Natural Mystic 1/2 volume H2o/ Molasses mix; C 2.75L / NM 2.5L
- fresh LST where needed
- light survey showed an imbalance with taller autoflower in the mix. It was LST’d into a lower profile and moved deeper into the corner.
Light distance for the Congo etc is now dialed-in after a bit of a shuffle.
*** reminder Oct 8 is Lights-Out *** 36 hrs of darkness
26th
- followed-up on yesterdays LST and put some actual direction on the Nat Mystic Branches. Its a tightly spaced unit but the branches are getting into some open air now. Look-out for what happens next
27th,
- everything looks great this morning. Big feeds tonight if soil allows; 6.5L congo / 6L NM
** topping observation **
In an effort to produce a 16 cola plant using Topping methods, i am in the middle of a side by side topping experiment, and it does look like one method, Does has an advantage over the other!
Waiting for each branch to grow past its first Node, and then produce a second Node, this will be the place to top, once the plant grows Past this 2nd node, on each branch.
What results is that you only snip each branch Once, after the original Topping. 5 snips will produce 16 Tops. Allow each branch to grow past the 2nd node, then Top. It will produce 4 nodes naturally on each branch. Better overall spacing/symmetry
The other significant feature of this response, is that the Durban Poison was a full week behind the Congo & N.M., and it has caught-up and Passed the progress of the natural mystic.
Both of these plants (congo/nm) used the extra topping on the upper branch, and its required longer periods for the 4 bud-sites to develop per branch and extend away from the plant.
It required more delicate fiddling than the (d)Urban Poison. ****
- short video of the Tent uploaded this morning
- no feed tonight, too moist
29th a.m.
- soil said Go this morning; 6.5L h2o/nutes for the congo & 6L for the natural mystic
- Collected details from N.M. & Congo run-off
- pulled Northern Light express auto from the tent and replaced her with a 3.5 week old Green Mountain Grape. Move was done to help acclimatize to the cmh lite, ahead of Flower
BONUS, you can actually see a bit of a droop on the Congo leaves… this mornings feed was 2 days overdue; the pot was actually lite & confirmed for me the condition of the soil is OK and not waterlogged.
Pushed her a little bit towards a Drier Bottom since her last feed. Nice to see that as I crank it up
- GMG has been super-cropped on the 28th, to help establish an even canopy
- Slip, Snap, lost a Cola. Even though it was the runt, its gonna be missed
30th
- OK, did a little homework last nite and the timing could not be better for me, with regards to Flushing 3 plants, ahead of the move into Flower.
This stems from capturing some of the run-off after a bigger feed. What resulted is I found a high EC value on the Natural Mystic (3200) that indicates a build-up of Salts in the soil. The Volume 33% says its a bit much… i have been aggressive in my nutrient values but its been incremental. Regardless N.M. gets a quick bath to flush out this bit o History.
Congo had less liquid come through but was still an elevated value (EC 2300) and will receive a Flush as well.
((d)URBAN POISON barely had any liquid come out. It will be flushed as well. Call it a tune-up, I’m in.
* should anybody see something from those results that I’m missing or misinterpreted… Id be happy to hear about it. Please & Thanks
pH probably has something to do with it too, but I don't care right now
Effluent details:
-Nat Myst released 2L out the bottom after being fed 6L : I’m going to reduce the volume of Water & Nutes fed, targeting 15% run-off. (5L next feed)
-Congo released 600ml after 6.5L was fed; Which is a reasonable amount in active use; close to 10%
- with height a constant issue in a tent, in my basement… i’m super happy with how low this whole grow has stayed through Veg. Kinda shocked actually… pic #23
- flushed Natural Mystic w/ 20 gallons water
- (the little kids pool that I inflate, to flush-in… of course, sprouted a whole shitload of leaks in the Bottom when I was about 18 gallons in. And Yeh, the discharge hose on my electric pump DID COME OUT OF THE SINK DRAIN, 2x.
I had water everywhere lol. Actually out in the garage taking care of things right now)
Oct 1
- last day week 7
- re-applied the pins holding Nat Mystic in place. She is damp, Healthier & Hungry soon; target = 2 Meals b4 Lights-out. With Congo flush 100% happening… both Meal volumes tbd
- been a busy week & things are about to change again. Learnings impact all the different grows. I’ve never flushed Mid-grow; and I’m liking-it !

I should have more room for this one in the next 2 to 3 weeks, then I can start growing her. I am flexing my gro knowhow muscles by keeping this one as small as possible for as long as I need it to without killing it. Sometimes this technique will come in handy so it is good to practice it.

Still picking a couple leaves here and there every couple of days, they are a very bushy plant I can already see trimming is going to be fun…NOT!! Aw well. Not had much to do this week on cruise control really. Temps risen slightly higher than I’d like but after this week gonna start dimming my lights so that should sort

10/5:
Comparing photos from the beginning of last week and today, it was pretty decent growth. If they were stunted from being in the temporary grow bags for too long, it wasn't too badly.
--Blackberry I (I call her Halle), is really purpling up well, and looking like she'll be a single uber-phat cola...no branching at all..whereas her sister is all about the branches.
--Wedding Cheesecakes are consistently big and vigorous. They'll probably be the best producers of the crop.
--Orange Sherbets look like clones they are so consistent in shape and leaf structures. Kinda short compared to the other varieties, but nice and bushy.
--Gorilla Cookies are also identical in plant shape, but two of them are a few days ahead of the other as far as pistil production goes. Also not a very tall cultivar, but many branches.
--The late/stunted Lemon Pie is praying to the sun at all times and starting to look like she belongs in the same crop. The bigger LP is gorgeous..perfect structure, the other one is catching up, but my cat keeps defoliating her.😏
---Strawberry Pies have massive sun-blocking fan leaves that require constant tucking, but they are branching well, and a couple of them are pretty beefy. The other SP is doing fine considering her crooked trunk and slow start.
10/6:
Today I noticed 9 "lone" nanners on the nodes of the crooked trunk-Strawberry Pie!😧
No clusters.. just single pollen sacs here and there.🤨
These plants have experienced no major stress at all...I'm keeping it like late-August upper-peninsula Michigan in the closet. 80f/50%RH 👌
Damnit...this is a new, stable strain, right??👈 I've seen no other SP diaries with hermaphrodites...just my fukt luck I guess.😖
I plucked them and will watch for more..and I guess I'd better keep a close eye on the other two SPs as well...
I just got my wife a new 16 x 7 x 7 greenhouse frame with the green semi-translucent cover for her 4' x 12' raised bed...if i see any more sneaky nanners appear, I'll probably remove the plant(s) and move them outdoors to finish in there.
I swore I'd not do any training this run, but while removing the pollen sacs I couldn't resist opening up and tieing down some branches on the hermie.🤷
10/9:
I fed them.

Added two fresh gallons with week 4 nutrients to bring the reservoir up to 750ppm. Will plan to do a more substantial water change in the next few days. Both plants are booming! Added the trellis netting to begin training the plants to fill the tent! This week should be interesting.
8/24/2024
Both plants are looking good up to this point. Have continued to add fresh nutrient water as they are drinking much more now. I have a second trellis net on hand as I believe it will be required for an aditional layer of support as they stretch into pre-flower. Looking like a 4.5 or 5 week veg before flipping.
8/25/2024
Noticed Plant B water level was only a few inches in the bottom of the bucket. Had a pump flow rate issue with most of the feed from the reservoir diverting to the closer bucket. Working to rectify the issue, but Plant B is definitely stunted, unfortunately.
8/27/2024
The water level issue was remedied by putting a separate pump and feed line in place for each plant. Continuing to defoliate as I prepare to take clones. I will likely run this week of veg a few extra days to allow Plant B to recover a bit from the water issues. Additionally, after taking clones I will give 1-2 days of recovery for the plants before switching to 12-12 and starting pre-flower!
8/29/2024
Raised the lights to drop DLI to about 30. Continuing to monitor water level issues.
8/30/2024
Did a final pruning on both plants before flipping to flower tomorrow. Started topping reservoir with bloom nutrient blend. Shortened light cycle by 2 hours to not shock the plants into flower. Added a second layer of trellis netting. Plant A (larger of the two) is absolutely thriving, plant B (smaller of the two) is bouncing back from the water level issues earlier this week! Both plants are looking ready for flower.

She is performing well...
Ran into a few deficiencies as her leafs started thining..
Not to sure if it has to do with genetics but nothing that can't be adjusted..
Other than that...flowering stage is looking absolutely good..
Thanks for tuning in much love

👊😺 We're officially in flower! All plants are showing signs of being well on their way....its weird that some of the Gelat OG have grown so much larger than others despite the exact media and feeding regiment .. We noticed a few deficiency spots (pretty sure calcium) starting on the one plant
which is furthest along in flower, we gave all plants 3ml/gal of calmag with the last watering and set our PH to 6., i think the plants are eating better after adjusting PH at least their color reflects it (the light and my camera really wash the color out in some photos) but they're still not as dark as I'd
like, maybe a light grass green at the moment...we're going to try going up a few ml/g with their feed ...im always really apprehensive about feeding autoflowers, im so rough with my photoperiods that autos are really a learning curve lol and iv'e overdone it in the past ...The MarsHydro however is
doing amazing! we can tell already she's going to make us some stellar bud..we have so many future plans after this..a SOG type grow in the 4x2 with the SP-3000 would be a blast! Not much more to report on, we'll update again midweek thanks for reading if you made it to the end and happy

😽💨 the girls seem to be coming along, buds and bud sites forming fast..their color is looking much better after increasing their N supplement (GrowBig) a few days ago..we have terrible luck with indoor autoflowers (like really, really bad luck) but these haven't given us many problems ..and this is despite the fact we cooked them daily for about 2 weeks 😬... live and learn lol 😹 we'll still get some great bud out of the deal ❤️ ...thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!

Another good week here in the tent. Getting water daily. Defoliated as needed every other day. The girls are looking great and smelling great. Lots of frost coming off these girls.
Started the UVB at 30 minutes and have moved up to an hour. The tests went right to two hours but I wanted to ramp it up. Will go up thirty minutes tomorrow and continue that every few days to ramp up usage.

Welcome to my FastBuds GSC grow-off diary! I plan on growing 2 seeds from the same package - one using a 950ml Gatorade bottle dwc system, and the other sharing a 64L reservior DWC. I'll grow them both while trying to be as simiar in techique as i can, but i'm more interested in how the 950ml does, so might not be super picky about doing things exactly the same, heh.
I'm making this all up as I go!
Enjoy the ride!
Week 0
======
Day 0.1 - 2 seeds in water for 24hrs
Day 0.2- 2 Seeds in wet paper towel, in a plastic bag for 24-48hrs until taproot is out
Day 0.3 - 24hrs later - one seed has sprouted a tail
Day 0.4 - 2nd seed sprouted tail; put both seeds into rockwool
Day 0.5 - 1st seed sprouted from rockwool
Day 0.6 - 1st seed doing well, 2nd seed no change
Day 0.7 - Checked 2nd seed and hasn't budged, so it's a dud. Started a new seed (had 3 GSC, so all good!)
Day 0.8 - 1st seed into the 1L DWC bottle!
Day 0.10 - 3rd seed germinated - into rockwool to sprout.
DWC Prototype
-----------------
- 950ml Gatorade Bottle
- 2x small air stones
- 1/2" overflow tube where i want the water level to be
- Nutrient top-feed line
The reservoir below is 19L (~15L of solution) with a small 80gph water pump on lowest setting, which will be on a timer for 15 mins every 3 hours (at first - we'll see how that goes).
The water pumps nutrient solution up to the Gatorade bottle and the overflow goes back down into the reservoir.

No bug or disease problems. I even took her off veg nutes way too soon and she recovered like a fucking champ. I’m popping two more this week. Unfortunately i didn’t weigh it because Of some very unfortunate circumstances that I was dealing with at the time. I essentially had to vacate my premise within 24 hours. A few days after harvest. Anyways. I ended up smoking the whole thing with my friends and it was straight fire. The terps were crazy also. Super sweet. After curing she had a very sweet smell like bubblegum / grape. This was only my second harvest ever.

Just started soaking/germinating 2 Wedding Cake, 1 Platinum Cookies and 1 Blue Dream.
Blue Dream is one of my favorite strains and I suggest everyone always have afew OZs stashed away, I’m currently getting low on that so I need to restock for the year.
