Day 16 – Strengthening Outdoors Begins Today marks the 16th day for my CBD Auto 20:1 from the 420 Fast Buds collection. The little warrior is continuing to show good progress! After a few days of gradual hardening off, I started taking the plant outdoors twice a day – once in the morning and once again in the afternoon – to introduce it to real sunlight and gentle outdoor conditions. Each session lasted around 30–40 minutes, depending on the temperature and light intensity. The weather has been quite typical for spring in Ramsgate: a mix of cloud cover with bursts of sun, with light intensity varying between 600–1100 μmol/m²/s. The plant seems to be adapting well – no visible signs of shock or stress so far! At the moment, I’m still cautious about leaving it out all day, as nights are still a bit too cold for such a young seedling. But I can already tell: the stems are starting to strengthen, the leaves are becoming slightly thicker, and the plant is gaining confidence facing the outdoor elements. This is a special project for me – a true budget-friendly outdoor grow, where I’m letting the natural light and environment shape the plant’s journey. No artificial supplementation – just patience, observation, and care. Looking ahead: In the coming days, if the temperatures stay kind (especially the mornings), I plan to gradually increase the time outside, and soon transition the plant to full outdoor life. Step by step, no rush. Overall feeling: Happy with the plant’s spirit and the direction this grow is taking. The bond between grower and plant grows stronger with every little sun session! Day 19 – Full Sun Adventure and Hydration Today marks a big milestone for my CBD Auto 20:1 plant – its very first extended outdoor session! The weather has been absolutely perfect, with bright, strong sunshine all day long, delivering a consistent light intensity above 1400 μmol/m²/s. Feeling confident after a successful hardening-off phase, I kept the plant outside from the afternoon well into the evening, enjoying the natural elements. To support the plant through this sun-filled day, I provided a generous watering with 1L of clean, pH-balanced tap water. I continue to carefully oxygenate the water before use, promoting healthier root development and stronger overall growth. The plant is responding beautifully: Leaves are vibrant and standing tall. Stem is gaining thickness and resilience. Overall growth structure looks compact, healthy, and well-adapted to natural light. I’m very pleased with the progress. If temperatures remain favourable tomorrow, the plan is to move the plant outside from early morning and allow it to enjoy the full day’s cycle under natural light – another important step towards full adaptation to outdoor life. One day at a time – and the journey continues! Day 20 – First Full Outdoor Day! Another big step forward for my CBD Auto 20:1 plant! Today, for the first time, I moved the plant outdoors for the full day to enjoy the natural sun and fresh air. The morning started strong, with a bright clear sky and an impressive light intensity of 1600 μmol/m²/s. The air temperature was a perfect 22°C, giving the plant ideal conditions to embrace the full outdoor environment. Observations: Leaves are standing tall and reaching toward the sun, showing excellent energy and adaptation. The stem is gradually thickening and strengthening, becoming more resilient with each day. No signs of stress or drooping, even under intense midday light. Environmental Conditions: Full sun exposure throughout the day. Light breeze, but nothing too strong – just enough to naturally strengthen the stem. This is a major milestone, and the plant looks truly happy and energetic! From here, the focus will be on gradually adapting it to full day-night outdoor conditions, allowing it to thrive naturally under the UK summer sun. The outdoor adventure has officially begun – and Sators is back in the race stronger than ever! Day 21 – Surviving the Heatwave, Growing Stronger Another exciting day for my CBD Auto 20:1 grow! The weather gave us a real test of strength yesterday, and my little warrior is showing amazing resilience. Conditions: Peak sunlight intensity: around 2000 μmol/m²/s – incredibly bright and intense! Temperature in direct sunlight: reached up to 35°C during the day. Nighttime temperatures still remain low, so for safety and steady development, the plant continues to be brought indoors overnight. Despite the daytime heat spike, the plant handled it impressively well: Leaves are vibrant and wide open, reaching confidently towards the light. Stem has gained more thickness, showing clear signs of strengthening after the outdoor sessions. No visible stress such as leaf curl, wilting or discoloration. Observations: The combination of intense sunlight and warm temperatures has definitely accelerated photosynthesis and growth rate. At the same time, careful night protection ensures no shock from the colder UK nights. Balancing between the power of the sun and the comfort of indoor shelter is paying off! It’s fascinating to watch the plant adapt to real outdoor forces day by day – it’s growing not just bigger, but stronger, smarter, and more resilient. The outdoor training continues… and so does the journey of “Sators” in this race!

2/28-3/1: One of them has fully senesced to a deep purple, and the other has begun to do so...still fattening👍 Both plants have flowers forming on the petioles of fan leaves...like hippy chicks with hairy armpits.. 3/3: Fed today..probably the purple one's last dose of N.

Little NILLA is finishing her maturation slowly but surely, I am sure the bad bending and absorbing of the cord did slow her down, I cannot afford to do this mistake again, no more noob mistakes shall we? Hehehe Still she is very pretty and I can see tonnes of potential, chunky sticky buds with a strong narcotic smell and good appearance, I took some cuttings and I will take good care of her next time and get to know her better without torturing her!

Some browning from start but cleared up in the next week

Our Permanent Marker from Zamnesia has responded very well to the application of the techniques, it has started the flowering phase very well and is preparing to prepare our gifts. ** Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety. Here we are talking about a very effective Main Lining, a bit difficult at the beginning but now very successful. Generally speaking, it is performed like this: first topping cut at the 2/3rd internode maximum, the plant is allowed to continue for another three internodes and then topping again. The lateral branches can be worked with topping again but I recommend doing it only if the plant is responding well. We are in a 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We are fertilizing with // 1 ml/l Power Roots - 1 ml/l Pure Zym - 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l Alga Bloom - 1ml/l Power Buds We sprayed 5 ml/l Vita Race Foliare once a week.

Tag 74: Die Fat Banana hat sich doch mehr gestreckt als ich erwartet hatte. Morgen werde ich sie noch etwas entlauben, und hoffen das sie sich nicht noch mehr streckt, platz für die Lampe ist nicht mehr.😬 Tag 75: Leider musste ich die Fat Banana mittig toppen sonst wären die Spitzen zu dicht an der Lampe, ich hoffe sie verträgt es😨 Und gründlich unterhalb entlauben war nötig.

Will update later

They're really starting to bush out, I think I'm liking the topping of all tops on the whole plant 1 time. Makes it easy to train as well. We'll see how they compare in harvest amount to my LST long veg plants.

Week 3 (Day 21) Flower- This was the last week of messing about, no more defoliating or bending and flexing. Did a heavy defoliation. Noticed some yellowing of the lower level leaves, added a few +mls of the grow and bud bottles, will water mid week with straight ph’d water (6.5) as I don’t want my medium to get to high, or get nutrient lockout. these nutes uptake best between 5.8 and 6.2, otherwise rolling along nicely. 😎💨

June 16th - 7 days after sowing in the 11-liter final pot

I did not grow these two plants to their potential. Hit with high temps as seedlings and fungus gnats in flower, I decided to harvest them probably 7-9 days too early. Nonetheless, after 4-5 days drying, they've been trimmed and jarred and tested. Smoke is very complex and honestly have never smelled such a strong incense like smoke rolling off the pipe before. Very clear and relaxing so far. Delicious grapey spiced beer flavor. Very white ash. So happy to have a larger lady of this being finished properly right now.

Did some defol and a little Lollipoping this week to get light to the lower budsites. The Ethos cookies Rbx are my favorite's so far this run, they stacking up like crazy👌 The Rosso Corsa, so far so good not stacking as nice as the Cookies, but she a verry sweet smelling stinky one, can't wait on this one Gorilla Breath, this is the one i did the most devol/lollipoping on, this little girl was bushy AF. ( excuse my French ) gonna keep a close eye on her this week deu to her Gorilla line-up ( Herm sensitive ) i might have went a bit to hard on her, time will tell. Rock on Growmies 💚

- 2nd round of veg nutes; double the amount from last week & slightly upping cal mag - Keeping humidity at ~55-65% and temp between 70-80 when lights are on and 60-70 at night (lights off)

Que pasa familia, vamos con la primera semana de floración de estas Gorilla cookies Auto de FastBuds. Tiene muy buenas reseñas y pues me animé a colocar 4 plantas. Alimentamos nuestras plantas con Agrobeta. Por supuesto el ph se mide en cada riego y se mantiene en 6.2 y riego en intervalos de 48h. La temperatura está entorno al 22/24 grados y la humedad anda sobre el 50%. Las plantas en si ya están bien sanas , la que está más verde es la que me cortó un poco en alimentar , pero por lo demás genial todo perfecto aquí.
