420 Fastbuds Week 2 Veg FBT2306 The two of these are starting off great. The few rust spots stopped and stayed on the couple leafs it showed up on. I feed 500ml of solution every other day. I did start the General Hydroponics 3 part Flora series as well as the Calimagic. On week one I started 1/4tsp per gal ratio every other feed, so far no burn so will probably bump it up this coming week and see how they respond. All in all Happy Growing.

This strain was easy to grow, short and very bushy. The smell when drying has an incredibly strong earthy/chocolate aroma which is very pleasant🤤.

Tok off large fan leaves on day 24. Seeing preflower starting. Decided to try out a natural shape instead of doing LST. I hope this doesn't backfire... The blackberry gum on the right is getting big. I like how autopotamus has natural shape... But he also has much more light haha

Good morning growmies! I am finally back online after moving house and being without internet for weeks. These ladies took a battering and bruising in transit, and were left in the dark for 4 days, starved of water and food for 9 days TWICE inside 3 weeks. Still, can you believe the progress despite all that? Wowza, when RQS say these Epsilon F1s are fast they are NOT JOKING, and OH MY the smell is soooooooooooooooooo good. It's really a complex sweet and fruity scent with delicate notes of spice and sandalwood. I am super curious now. All five plants are within a couple of inches of each other, the tallest being 72cm currently (Dinah!). I am so very impressed with these plants that I am considering running a full tent of Epsilon F1s for my next grow! I wonder if I can get a bulk discount?! 😬😁 Day 54: Fertigated 10l Day 56: They are not slowing down. Ally, Normani, Lauren, and Dinah are all similar size, Camila is a bit smaller but in terms of development they are all very very close to each other. I am really impressed by the uniformity here, more impressed by the speed, and most impressed by the scent. They are not strong smelling, but if you get close or have a squeeze it wafts over you like an exquisite perfume. It is the most complex cannabis scent I have experienced yet. Really really interesting, I am really excited for the eventual smoke review so that I can properly understand the complexity at play here. The breeder and sponsor of this grow Royal Queen Seeds have offered to sponsor a full tent of this strain, if that works out then I will be doing another grow series right after this one. Fingers crossed!

Me olvidé actualizar el diario el miercoles 😅, las fotos son del miércoles 06 de Mayo, aunque lo actualice hoy sabado 09. Van super bien, creciendo muy fuertes y eso, poquito a poco. He estado transicionando el nitrógeno para poquito a poco ir quitandoselo y aumentando el PK del "Floracion Boom". El fin de semana del domingo 17, entre ese domingo y ese sábado haré la poda de los 21 dias, pero intentaré en sí quitar frondosidad, intentaré dejar tanto como pueda. Al estar en 14/14 tecnicamente se me va a un tanto mas de esos 21 dias aprox, o tercera semana de floración, cosa que se alargaría hasta finales de esa semana, la cual sería esta de la que hablo, del 11 al 17. Sobre esta variedad hasta el momento: se siente muy vigorosa, sus tallos duros y gordos van a sostener bien el peso de los cogollos, ahora, su altura no está siendo pareja, con lo que entiendo a que es mucho mas sensible a la luz que las otras, sus puntas mas altas que son las que mas al centro del armario quedan, están a unos 60cm desde la superficie del sustrato, en cambio si las mido conforme voy alejándome de ese centro va bajando la distancia hasta unos 53-57cm, cosa que en la Oreoz y en la Critical no se nota, esos desniveles los noto en esta y en la Kritical GB (la bilbo seleccionada). Por otro lado, quizás sea la mas avanzada dado su periodo de floración mas corto y su genética indica pura, y me baso en que quizás sea la mas avanzada porque sus botones de pistilos que mas adelante serán los cogollos, son los mas grandes de las 4 y fueron los primeros en aparecer.

He have here another wonderful pheno of Runtz muffin by this AWESOME seedbank, the all 3 phenos have grown the same way and look the same, I just cannot wait to turn this plant into a big bush full of big fat colas! Let's do it guys!! Outdoor season is here!

They finally started stretching a bit. Had me worried that they would be forever stunted.

Everything went ok this week. They seem to still be drinking ok but not as much. The flowers are hard dense. I also notice the smell isn't as strong a week ago. This week I downgraded the tea to just molasses and my diy compost.

Welcome to week 7 growmies! She’s doing great in her second week of flowering! She is still stretching and got a bigger defoliation at the end of week 6. For the start she’s getting only ph regulated water from top and some nutrients from bottom. There a little signs on the leaf tip why I skip nutrients for one watering cycle. On mid of week 7 she’s still stretching and first orange pistils shown up. On weekend she’s getting another defloration and another round of nutrients.

Very good start...

Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

Unfortunately Grow Diaries seems to have bugged during the last Cosmic Noodles update. The harvest report itself was saved and the text is still there, but most of the photos disappeared and I’m currently unable to properly edit or restore that update. Because I still want to finish this diary correctly and document everything from start to finish, I’m uploading the remaining harvest, drying and trimming photos into this temporary flowering-week update instead. So even though this appears under a normal flower week, the content shown here actually reflects the harvest process already explained in the previous report. My apologies for the confusion to all. I didn’t want to leave the diary incomplete after coming this far together. Wishing everyone a beautiful day, and as always, thank you all for being here and following this journey from seed to harvest. 🌱 Growers Love DD

Started LST she’s growing but not as fast as I would think for a 9-10 week plant. I hope she finishes out timely as I’ve been excited for this strain. I forgot to PH her feed so if anyone has any ideas on how to mitigate that I’d appreciate it.

Bffff familia, esta cepa me tiene atónito zambezaseeds a vuelto hacer de las suyas y lograron una variedad con una floración bastante rápida, y unos cogollos bastante compactos, formación indica en el aspecto de las hojas y su morfología. Controlamos los parámetros por encima de 20 grados y por debajo de 27,5 grados y no dejamos subir la humedad por encima de 45%. Contando por supuesto con un sistema anti olores no solo en la extracción si no trabajando con ozono en la puerta de salida se la habitación.

Blue Dream starting to get some frost to her. Looking like all the holy comm phenos are gonna be a long flower time judging by the slight difference in bud sizes between the blue dream and the holy comms. Going to give them a top dress and a recharge with a few things come the end of the week. Until then just straight butt chuggin out the acinfinity self watering bases.

As you can see, the Melonade Runtz hermied again... Mystery Made 2 also started but I already had the feeling this is going to happen, since everything inside this tent hermied. The first runs I threw in the trash (besides the one King's Juice survivor, you can see my diary on as well) but I now needed some weed and I had the little hope that MAYBE if I keep plugging the male parts off, that she eventually turns full female. I saw that in one of Hyperactive Highs videos and just gave full dedication into it, controlling every single day. I really spent hours into this but as you can also see, the Melonade Runtz was the frostiest out of the bunch, so I really didn't throw her away! On the bright sight: I managed to achieve quite an even canopy for now. They also shouldn't stretch too crazy from here on out

Ich habe die kleinen triebe von unten entfernt aber keine Blätter. Mein zelt ist 100x100x200cm groß.

Here’s 8 weeks of my beautiful baby. I’m sorry for my update post cuz I missed 7 weeks timetable for her. Whatever she’s getting better. So let’s wait 👽

Permanent Marker weed strain possesses the genetics for high anthocyanin production, which is responsible for its signature deep purple. While the genes are present, the expression of these colors is often enhanced by "thermal stress" (lower temperatures) during the final three weeks of flowering, which triggers the production of these pigments. 👋 Raising the Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio in the growing medium to avoid over-immobilizing nitrogen, on the flip side, being careful not to trigger early autophagy. Moderate, controlled increases in sugar support the energetic demands of flowering and act as a signal trigger, but excess sugar is more likely to inhibit flowering or damage the plant. Balance, like everything else. Visually, when the chloryphyll green gets darker, it is a subtle indicator that the concentration of nitrogen is increasing / more is being stored than is being used. I noticed when you push very high intensity lighting, it slowly fades the green as the plant degrades chloryphyll faster than it can be replenished. When the green of the leaf continually gets darker, it is an indication that the concentration levels of nitrogen are increasing, and I dont want to increase light intensity. Turn down the nitrogen faucet. C:N ratio dictates the rate at which nitrification occurs, if at all. The Carbon-to-Nitrogen (C:N) ratio acts as a critical biological "on/off switch" (or regulator) for nitrogen turnover by determining whether microbes immobilize (consume/tie up) or mineralize (release) nitrogen during the breakdown of organic matter. This ratio regulates microbial activity by defining the balance between available energy (carbon) and building materials (nitrogen). The C:N ratio in a medium acts as a critical regulator of nitrification, effectively functioning as an "on/off" switch for the dominance of either autotrophic nitrifying bacteria or heterotrophic bacteria. The shade of green in chlorophyll is subtly linked to the enzyme Rubisco through a co-evolutionary, functional relationship designed to optimize photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light for energy, reflecting green light, a process that ensures the "light-dependent" reactions provide the correct, controlled amount of energy (ATP and NADPH) needed by Rubisco to perform its "light-independent" carbon fixation. Because Rubisco is a relatively inefficient and slow enzyme—often considered the bottleneck of photosynthesis—chlorophyll and the overall structure of the leaf have evolved to manage energy distribution to prevent overwhelming the Calvin cycle. While chlorophyll absorbs mainly red and blue light, it is not perfectly efficient, and leaves appear green because some green light is reflected or transmitted. This reflection allows light to penetrate deeper into the leaf, preventing the surface chloroplasts from becoming overloaded and enabling a more efficient distribution of energy to the high volume of Rubisco located throughout the leaf's mesophyll. The rate of chlorophyll-driven electron transport (light reactions) is matched to the potential rate of carbon fixation (Rubisco activity). If Rubisco were faster, leaves might be darker; however, the "shade of green" represents a balance that prevents chlorophyll from producing more energy than the inefficient Rubisco can process. The green color itself is a byproduct of a photosynthetic system tailored to feed a slow, yet crucial, enzyme (Rubisco) just enough energy to maximize carbon assimilation without inducing excessive oxidative stress or inefficiency. The shade of green in leaves is directly linked to the concentration of chlorophyll, which is in turn strongly correlated with the amount of Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) and, consequently, the rate of carbon fixation. Darker green leaves generally indicate a higher concentration of both chlorophyll and Rubisco, signifying greater capacity for photosynthesis. Increase output or reduce input. Subtle tells. While an excess of nitrogen (specifically ammonium) can cause an imbalance, nitrification—the microbial conversion of ammonia to nitrate—is highly sensitive to a variety of environmental, chemical, and physical factors. Because it depends on specific, slow-growing bacteria (Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter) and archaea, anything that stresses these organisms can disrupt the process.
