🌿 Week 5 Update: Breaking Dominance & Structural Shaping Grow Environment & Conditions Light Cycle: 18/6 Training Method: LST (Low Stress Training) Pest Control: Active monitoring via yellow sticky cards (No current infestations noted). Weekly Observations & Actions This week was all about manipulating the architecture of the plant. I’ve officially moved into the vegetative training phase to increase my final yield potential. LST Execution: I’ve applied 90° LST clips to the main terminal. By pinning the main apex down, I am successfully redistributing auxins (growth hormones) to the lower lateral branches. Stem Health: The main stalk is showing great flexibility. No "knuckling" or stress fractures observed at the bend site. Growth Response: Within 24 hours of clipping, the secondary nodes began turning upward toward the light source, confirming the break in apical dominance. Root Zone: Maintaining consistent moisture levels. The plant is currently housed in a smaller starter pot nested within the main container I’m keeping an eye on root-bound signals before the final stage. Nutrient & Water Log Feeding: Continuing with the base veg formula. pH Level: Stable at 5.8 – 6.0 (Targeting the sweet spot for coco). Runoff: Minimal, ensuring no salt buildup in the early stages.

This week was abit easy... Only thing that was really necessary was ensuring that the temperature and Humidity were/is/currently stable.. Without any significant in/decreases 😕.. Gave her a lil extra H20 because she is getting really hungry recently..

Hello people, we are here with another update day 34 for all these lady's. We currently have two shorty's and 2 tall girls. I'll be doing plain water with carboload from from now till the end of flowering Peace and love ✌️✌️

Semana 8 de las automáticas, y semana 4 de floración, noto que las plantas no engordan mucho.. Que opinan utds ? He retirado hojas secas, sigo regando 1 litro a cada planta dia por medio, la próxima semana creo que alimentare por útima ves para, despues lavar raices por dos semanas.

This grow was pretty simple ! They went a total of 103 days from seed! Very trichomy dense buds with the smell of Berries vanilla and skunk ! This is a must try for you all Fastbuds has the greats!!!

Smooth week - final harvest. Plant 5 was a surprisingly quick trim :)

Neuen Topf bekommen und ins Blüte Zelt eingezogen ist Platz frei geworden.

Same thing. Stationary pictures until video upload gets patched

Fat Bastard is a good one. Everyone loves it's aroma. This one looks like it turned out a bit leafy. I do think I remember hitting it with extra nitrogen once, n it didn't get reported, so that all plays I'm sure. I'll see how leafy it ends up when all is done

These pretty ladies are stacking up beautiful!! Gonna be an amazing yield! My first grow with Kc Brains, and so far, I couldnt be happier. Fantastic fruity smell, and bright colored pistils! There are 6 of these beautiful ladies in this run! Feeding heavy and they are eating it up! Showing no signs of deficiency or problems! Some of the prettiest plants you will see!

Well, I've been comparing this with similar strains, untill now, i think she sugar kush is less profitable when using LST, but it works good, and the plant is nice and low

Looks really good pushing her to the max. Still a few white hairs! Probably the end of this week I'll chop her. 7/18 put her in the closet all night for her dark cycle. 7/19 I cut her down this morning in her dark period. Hung her in my dark closet. 7/23 she is still no where near dry. This will be my slowest dry yet! Trimmed half of her up today. She smells incredible!! So sticky!! I'll take her weight when she is ready for jars.

I won't say it was a perfect growing experience, because i kept running into problems with keeping the lights a good distance away, but that was the most difficult problem I faced. It was definitely a very successful do-over. Both of these plants easily were 2 times the size (width/height) of my 1st sour stomper attempt, they yielded at least double and in Plant A's case...triple. And all by the few simple changes of using LEDs earlier in the grow, larger pots, being in a tent and having one tiny duct fan. My nutrient regimen stayed pretty low and for the most part the same as previous grow. However in my opinion one of the most crucial differences was having them in the 3 gallon pots. They didn't dry out as quickly and they were able to be soaked more effectively than the 1 gallon smart pot had been. For me this was a very important grow on grow diaries as this was basically Part 2 of my first indoor, man made grow. Learning these minimal differences in how to have plants turn out enormously better was essential to any future indoor grows I might do, even though I'm sure i just skimmed the surface on potential problems that could occur and how to fix them. The buds from this grow were not only dense enough to be worth smoking, but every piece of the plant including its leaves will be useful for pressing. The couple presses i did on this plant so far had a beautiful golden color, an amazing smell, and had zero plant byproducts inside it from using the 90 micron bags. The only downfall with the micron bags and the pucks are they retain a fair amount of the pressed rosin, the only solutions I can think of would be to add them to an edibles mixture or to stack them all up and continue repressing. All in all this was a fantastic grow, and I'm very grateful for all the support and for mephisto for making such a solid strain.

A-Day 53 (into week 8) B&C-Day 49 (end of week 7) A - She is stacking well, and feeling greasy! The smell is coming on stronger everyday, frost is just starting to build up. There is a distinct transition as the leaves go through veg to early flower to late flower. Uniform all around, not very tall, but she is hardy and thiccc! B- Full flower now, so many tops! She has shown to be a slower flower developer than A, but the flowers she are developing are almost completely uniform all across the 🌱! I assume because there are so many they will be a little slower. I put her ties back on, and the middle shoots exploded with new stretch and growth, so she is still in that stretch/flower stage. C- what can I say, patience is a virtue. She is looking lush and vigorous. With this being a slightly longer to finish auto strain, she has had time to recover from a) being a runt, B) having slow growth, c) having almost no training and lighter nutrient feeds her whole existence. This is also my control for Topping, she was not, A and B were. This strain is clearly hardy and able to withstand multiple techniques, we’ll see what the end the result is compared to her sisters. All three plants received a full nutrient feed x2 this week. That was: 3 gallons dechlorinated water mixed with 12 ml Micro, 12 ml Bud, 20 ml Grow, and 6 ml Sensi Extra CalMag, PH’d to 6.2. And another very low feeding of 1/3 that mixture mixed into 3 gallons of water. Ive heard many growers who instead of just watering, they will do a much lower strength of nutrients included in their watering, and ultimately never not feed their plants nutrients until flush. Thoughts?

Smelling great and getting frostier by the day. Trichs still mostly clear with a few going cloudy. Dropped temps a few degrees. Buds are lovely and dense. One more week of feed then flush.

We survived Hurricane Beryl baby...time to flower up.

So this round I just lollipopped and didn’t strip the top at all, with better veg next round it’ll work better but I’m having issues with some plants not quite trellised how I’d like. Everything smells great, BCS,BD and WM are getting fat and PKB is frosty and tight. Watering is more of a chore than I’d like I think I’m just going to use some 5s for the next round . Thanks for following along I hope your buds are fat and frosty.

Ja wie auch bei der runtz, die zuckerblätter sind stark trichomen besetzt. Und hier hatte ich beim lollipoppen wie erwartet etwas mehr Arbeit. Ebenfalls habe ich hier ein paar kleinere untere doch kräftigen bads wegschneiden müssen. Da das Licht reinbringen, durch Sägeblätter entfernen super funktioniert hat, brauche dich auch gefühlt unten sehr rum sehr wenig wegnehmen. Mittlerweile hat man vom Geruch her eine doch würzige dumpfe Note die am Ende doch leicht fruchtig ausläuft. Ich bin weiterhin gespannt wie am Ende die was aussehen und wieder Geschmack sein wird. Und der Vergleich unter den beiden Pflanzen und Sorten ist sehr interessant und sehr schön im Video sichtbar. Auch hier haben die buds richtig viel Potenzial schön dick zu werden. Aber vom Gefühl her bis zum jetzigen drücken muss ich sagen, die werden minimal luftiger werden als die von der runtz.

She got flushed then straight into ripen feed, this is the final week
