I’ve spent the last six days recalibrating my grow room. It feels more like a lab now because I am doing a lot of experiments with different variables and this week I have learned an awful lot. After pushing the environment to its absolute breaking point, I had to balance what my eyes were seeing against raw data to identify exactly where the Traffic Jam was occurring. I got so excited at the ability to control proteins in a plant with light spectrum I did the usual thing I do I drove them to their limits. Maximum photons (and beyond) in an environment where the plant just works like a suction funnel with a VPD of 1.6 kPa. What I forgot is that in my organic setup, the bottleneck is the speed the microbial life can create immobile nutrients. Under any normal conditions, the Biotabs 'just add water' method is more than capable of keeping up, but I had to be that guy and push them with 950 µmol of whites. By the time my Emerson burst came on, I was hitting them with around 1150 µmol, not counting the drain from the UV-B! This, on ambient, is just too much to ask; the plants used up all the calcium available, and my microbial life was unable to keep up. This is good to know, as if I wish to grow at this rate later, I will know what I need to add to facilitate that. I'm still blown away by spectral steering and the way proteins in a plant cell work. Grows are not normally still this fun at this stage. ________________________________________ 1. The "950 µmol" Mistake & Conclusion • The Error: I was running the main rig at 950 µmol, but with 4 strips of DRFR engaged, I was hitting a total ePAR of 1150 µmol. • The Failure: This intensity, paired with an aggressive 1.6 kPa VPD, outran the plant's metabolic capacity under ambient conditions. • The Result: 'Pistil Frizzle' on the crown of the Triple Cheese—the delicate stigmas literally toasted under the radiant load. 2. The Calcium Benchmark & The "Traffic Jam" • The Action: I noticed rusty, necrotic spots scattered across the leaf surfaces. • The Conclusion: The plants weren't 'low' on Calcium; the Biotabs microbial factory couldn't mine it fast enough to keep up with the 1150 µmol demand. I have officially flagged an image as my 'Calcium Benchmark' to track this in future runs. 3. The attempt to fix • The Adjustment: I have lowered the light ceiling to 800 µmol (targeting a DLI of 31–36) and stabilized VPD between 1.2 and 1.3 kPa. • The Rationale: This matches the 'spending' of the plant to the 'income' of my organic microbes, allowing the nutrient highway to move smoothly without crashing at the leaf tips. 4. Emergency Recovery: Bactrex & Bio PK • The Action: To clear the jam, I introduced a targeted top-feed of Bactrex and Bio PK to the Cheese. • The Goal: Boosting the microbial workforce and providing a direct PK source to support the Week 5 bulk while the Calcium delivery recovers. 5. Rhizosphere & Water Management • New decontamination for my 10L res refills: 10 drops of ExoThrive Neutralise, 5 minutes of violent blending, and an 8-hour air stone session • The Goal: To strip all residual chlorine and chloramines from my London tap water to protect my Bactrex and Mycotrex factory workers. • Future Intent: Researching the Water2 Pod 2.0 with a Fluoride filter to automate this and ensure consistent, medical-grade hydration. 6. Pot Size & Substrate Logic • The Constraint: Bigger pots are not happening • The Solution: To compensate for the smaller volume, I will increase Bactrex frequency and explore high concentrations of Gypsum (20g per 10L) in future mixes to increase mineral density without changing the footprint. Summary: I pushed for maximum push and hit a wall. By respecting the biological limits of a just add water system, I’m moving toward Environmental Harmony where every photon is used rather than wasted as a stressor. Been a great week for learning. Thanks for passing. Grow well ..

Hi Growers. So all 3 FastBuds Blue Dream Auto seeds popped in less than 3 days. I’ve left them uncovered, added a humidifier and turned a fan on low to just to give them a little wiggle. They were sprayed and lightly watered in a 4” circle around the stalks to have those roots go search for water. One of the seeds hulls is still stuck to the cotyledon leaves. I’ve been spraying it to keep the membrane moist and hopefully she’ll split it open by herself. In the past when I’ve tried to remove them they cause damage to the leaves so we’ll wait and see. Just gonna give them some time and mist for a week and start super low feeding according to the FastBuds auto feed schedule. I’m looking forward to seeing these babies grow!!! Happy Growing 🌱

Day 1 I’m looking forward to more days.😍 LSD journey September 14, 2021 day one of germination temperature is 71° My germination technique is to put the seed into the soil And keep the little pot warm and wet, light schedule is 18 hours of light. I’m using a MARS HYDRO Grow Tent Kit Complete TS 600W LED Grow Light 2x2ft Full Spectrum Indoor Grow Tent Kit 24"x24"x55" Hydroponics Grow Tent 1680D Canvas with 4” Ventilation Kit for Grow Setup Kit Tent Kit (Amazon) , General hydroponics power grower Kit (Amazon). The grow light is 8” from the pot keeping my little girl warm. Starting today I will be following the recommended feeding schedule for week one floral micro 2.5 mL a gallon floral Gro 2.5 mL a gallon floral bloom 2.5 mL a gallon, I will be doing this once a week increasing the amount of nutrients as needed. I will be Change your nutrients every 7 to 10 days and topping off with fresh water between nutrient changes on September 21, 2021 I will be topping off with freshwater and adding nutrients on September 22, 2021

Not much training this week...leave it to bloom and do its thing. Maybe light defoliation towards the end of the week

No hay mucho que comentar, sigo añadiendo humedad pulverizando con agua destilada 3 o 4 veces al dia. Y riego en cuanto veo que está "seco" A los 18 dias les hice un foliar con Hemplex , un bioestimulador. Con estas raices ya necesitan un transplante urgentemente, xd.

All in all, as my 2nd grow of Cindy, I can't recommend it highly enough. Great stealth grow, had no filtration at all for the 1st grow & had a mild lawn / grapefruit hint, stronger when pruned or harvested. Your neighbours wouldn't know, if you care. It's a survivor, my 1st was too hot, too moist, wrong pot, over watered, pruned too often (until near bald of leaves). Had a total grow of 25wks, Veg stage 12wks (should've been less) First harvest @ 21wks & completely undeserved but gobsmacking harvest of... total bud wet just over 2kg (2053g) & Dry 14oz (399g) It was led (1200w) & hps (150w) grown & the new plant has behaved very differently under the cmh's. The 2nd stretched considerably, the first didn't but was probably permanently in shock. It'll be interesting to see how this one compares. Although, yet again, I let it get far far too big before putting it to flower so will selectively harvest in the hope of bulking some of the lower buds. Same smoking effect as the first but more temple numbing. It's a beautifully flavoured smoke, doesn't smell much & is grapefruitey. Very uplifting, happy, bordering on giggley. No couch lock at all & good function retained. There's a long lasting sedative / happy high after the initial whack wears off & surprisingly doesn't diminish overly in effect from tolerance. My personal fave

She’s looking nice looking healthy, drying up once every 2 days so she’s starting to drink, I just hope she doesn’t stretch too much as she’s already the tallest in there. Got some nice purple on the buds from the cold nights. Let’s hope she can get nice a fat 🌱🐞🤙

I put 318 grams of wet bud into my dry tent, my target variables are 60F/60RH for 2 week, with the current temps and high out side humidity we are averaging 66F/58%RH so not to far off - these buds will probably be done at 10 days - looking forward to updating this as harvest report when I trim up.

This tent is just crushing it this week! Everyone and their mother is covered in trichome-y goodness. These ladies definitely have that cookie-esk smell going on for them!

Hi growers, Another week has passed, and both phenotypes continue to develop in their own way. One plant is now entering the final stage, and harvest is getting closer. The aroma has developed beautifully, with lovely nutty notes and a subtle sweetness. Under normal circumstances, I would already be harvesting it, but I'm waiting for the seeds from the Ridgelion father to fully mature. The Haze phenotype, on the other hand, is really starting to bulk up, and it is becoming more noticeable every day. The buds are swelling nicely, and it is clear this plant still has plenty left to give. I am really looking forward to seeing how it develops over the next week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Další týden je za námi a oba fenotypy se dál vyvíjejí každý úplně po svém. Jedna rostlina už jde do finále a sklizeň se nezadržitelně blíží. Vůně se krásně rozvinula a připomíná oříšky s jemnou sladkostí. Za normálních okolností bych ji už sklízel, ale čekám, až semínka po otci Ridgelion plně dozrají. Haze fenotyp naopak začíná pořádně nabírat na objemu a každým dnem je to znát víc a víc. Palice krásně tloustnou a je vidět, že tahle rostlina má před sebou ještě kus práce. Jsem opravdu zvědavý, jak bude vypadat za další týden. Peace and happy growing ✌️

Recovering week of 3 plants after nutrient deficiencies. Self note: don’t play around with new brand of nutrients. Switching biobizz calmag (basically water) to camgboost from aptus. Foliar feed camagboost 5ml/lt ph 5.8 to recover from calcium and magnesium deficiency which created other problems, specially plant #4. Changing to an organo-mineral grow with aptus. Will use just base nutrients from bio bizz (giving away calmag from bio bizz to a friend 😃) and booster exclusively from aptus. Planning to switch to flower as soon I see full recovery; probably end of the week or beginning of next week. Auto pot system has been turn on after 20 days of potting.

Die letzten Tage unter 18 Stunden. Bin froh, dass ich mich entschieden habe alle drei, statt nur zwei Stück mitzunehmen, wie ich anfangs geplant habe. Alle drei wachsen mittlerweile wirklich schön, sind stark und gesund. Das Blattwerk musste schon in bisschen gestutzt werden, um die Seitentriebe etwas mehr zu beleuchten.

Frostbanger Plants 1-6 Week 12 June 8-14 FLOWER 7 Sadly, my journey with Frostbanger is almost over. This grow started as an unnamed FBA2502 tester strain completely unknown regarding growth habits, size, flavor profile or smoke effect. I used LST on two plants: #1 because she was leaning over so I decided to pin her down immediately. I decided to LST Plant #3 when I saw her nodes were short and stems were tight. To quote Fastbuds “Growers must know that these difficult-to-grow plants will pose specific challenges in terms of environmental control and nutrition” , making them best suited for cultivators with some experience under their belt. I mention this because 2 plants #4 & #5 always looked lighter than their counterparts. Having overfed in the past grows, I did not want to repeat the same mistake, especially when the other plants were lush and green and did not look deficient. I thought it was genetics, but I found out that these two plants probably had nutrient lockout and would have benefitted from a good flush. Overall, I didn’t make mistakes with overfeeding or over trimming. I had to manually control the environment since the ventilation went out. I did pretty good at maintaining a functional environment. Plants #2 & #5 developed pretty reds in their upper buds and leaves probably because of the air conditioner. The A/C brought the night temperatures to 65-68. This week I am flushing with an anticipated harvest this weekend. I did the last plant pictures and videos and trichome shots on each plant. I did preliminary defoliation removing the remaining fan leaves. For most of the sugar leaves I trimmed off the ends leaving the base with all the frost. These are going into the trim bag to be washed into bubble hash. I plan on pressing #5 because she is the frostiest. 6/9 PH 6.46 PPM 239, temp 68 2 ltr each 6/10 PH 6.6, PPM 230, temp 68 2ltr each 6/12 PH 6.4, PPM 242, temp 68.5 2ltr Thank you for sharing this journey with me and as aways, thanks for visiting, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿my friends. 💫Natrona💫
