Firstly, the video of the popcorn bud from the mother plant, is showing what’s known as xylem sap from a process known as guttation. I never new that until this. Additionally, I am sorry to have missed out on so much documentation. I can talk forever about my plants so this will be short and to the point. Fast vigorous growth. Very resilient and hardy strain able to shrug of cold damp conditions, and freezing nights down to 32 Fahrenheit. The immune system seemed to be very strong. Never did I find any pathogens or even pests! A few but those little ghost spiders really helped out. During harvest, a thorough inspection resulting in surprisingly clean product! Finishing with large ā€œairyā€ buds with fat bracts covered in trichomes. A rich musky cheese smell that surprisingly tastes of berries! I suppose I’m getting ahead of myself. But I was able to finish cure and smoke test the mom before harvesting the clone. Finally: this fast 50-60 day pheno will continue popping new bracts up to 90 days!!!! Or at least the mother in the tent did. Also, the dry weight is an approximation as I’m not finished with trim.

Sticky Broccoli Auto – Week 8 Update (Week 4 Flower) Overall Plant Status Week 4 of flower and things are… interesting. All 4 plants are showing excellent health overall—no visible deficiencies, strong color, and vigorous growth. However, there are some growth irregularities across the canopy. • Bud structure is developing oddly and slower than expected • One plant (back left) is showing re-veg–like traits • Another (back right) is absolutely dumping trichomes early • Front two plants appear the most ā€œnormal,ā€ but still not bulking heavily yet Despite being labeled an 8–9 week auto, this run is clearly trending longer. Estimated finish now looks closer to 11–13 weeks, likely leaning toward the longer end. āø» Environment & Light Notes • UV was being applied but has now been turned OFF (3/15) to rule out stress-related responses • Light schedule unchanged otherwise • Feeding timing: • Auto irrigation ~30 min after lights on (2:30 AM) • Secondary feed mid-day (~1:30–4 PM) Observation: The re-veg–like growth (3-finger leaves, excessive leafy growth) is unusual for autos but can be triggered by: • Spectrum imbalance (UV/IR stress) • Genetic instability (more likely with some autos) • Environmental stress (though unlikely here given overall health) āø» Watering & Nutrients General Range This Week: • PPM: 860 → 1200 • pH: 5.7 – 5.9 • Runoff: 0% → 20% depending on day āø» 3/11 • 4 gallons total • Split feeding (AM + PM) • Minimal runoff initially, slight runoff later • 1200 PPM / 5.8 pH Per gallon: • .5ml Silicium Bloom • 2ml MagCal • 5ml Cocos A • 15ml Cocos B • 4ml Pure Zym • 3ml Green Sensation • 2ml Power Buds • 5ml Ruby Fulvic • 5ml Photosynthesis Plus āø» 3/12 • 4 gallons total • ~20% runoff achieved • Plants evened out in height • 1000 PPM / 5.8 pH (Same mix minus Photosynthesis Plus) āø» 3/13 • Split feeding again (AM + PM) • ~15% runoff • 1000 PPM / 5.7 pH (Photosynthesis Plus reintroduced) āø» 3/14 • Light defoliation + lower branch cleanup • ~15% runoff • 860 PPM / 5.8 pH āø» 3/15 • No feed • Observed abnormalities: • Back left plant showing re-veg–like growth (3-finger leaves, excessive foliage) • Back right plant heavily coated in trichomes • Front plants stable but slow to bulk • Action taken: UV turned OFF to troubleshoot āø» 3/16 • 4 gallons total • 10–15% runoff • 947 PPM / 5.9 pH Mixing order adjusted: • Silicium Bloom → MagCal → Green Sensation → Base nutrients → additives āø» 3/17 • 4 gallons total • Initial 0.5 gal per plant (low runoff) • Second feeding planned later • 940 PPM / 5.9 pH āø» Plant-Specific Observations Back Left Plant (Problem Child) • Throwing 3-finger leaves • Excessive leafy growth vs bud formation • Appears to be in a partial re-veg expression • Most likely cause: genetics or light spectrum sensitivity (UV suspect) Back Right Plant • Frost monster • Heavy trichome production early • Slightly behind on bulk but resin production is top tier Front Two Plants • Most stable phenotype • Normal structure • Slightly slow bulking but otherwise on track āø» Next Week Game Plan (Week 5 Flower) • Monitor re-veg plant for normalization after removing UV • Maintain: • 900–1000 PPM • 5.8–5.9 pH • Watch for: • Bud set transition → bulk phase • Consider: • Slight increase in PK (Green Sensation / Power Buds) if bulking still lags by end of Week 5

No defoliation this week. šŸ¤™ Vertical growth has topped out on both plants. The GP#2 started her fade this week, she’s extremely sticky and the smell is strong. I expect GP#2 to be harvested first. I see this often, even when the plants are the same age whoever is the least touched finishes first. Til next week!

Day 14: This week I'm increasing the humidity inside the tent with a wet towel and containers with water. I also removed the half bottles that were over the plants to generate extra humidity, because they got burned because of that, as you can see in the leaves, there are some brown snipes. Day 15: I added a towel and containers with water inside the tent to increase humidity, I managed to bring it up to 67% in some parts of the day. Day 16: I'm convinced Mario has thrips. I will add Potasium Soap in a couple days to kill any thrips possibility, and also add a moistmeter in the soil to know exactly if I'm overwatering or not. Day 18: Started with the feeding. Rizothonic + Vega at 25% of the recommended dosage. Added just 12ml of water on each plant. I don't want to overwater. Also added a new fan to the setup. Day 19: Added Potasium soap to the leaves during the dark hours. They look better already. Day 20: Added water + Solution of water with 25% nutrients I already created on day 18. I'm going reeeally slow with nutrients. D21: Forgot to make photos. Sprayed potasium soap solution at 2% over the plants, to avoid any pests.

Tag 63: Die Pflanze erholt sich nur schlecht, ich vermute es war die Hitze vorletze Woche. Aber der Schaden zeigt sich wohl erst jetzt so nach und nach. Genau da wo es Kühler wurde 😲 Tag 65: Habe die verbrannten Blätter entfernt, doch auch die neuen Blätter sehen auch nicht wirklich gut aus. Die Pflanze hat Millionen winzige neue Zweige ausgebildet. Die müsste ich eigentlich auch noch alle entfernen irgendwann. Ich bin am überlegen die Pflanze platt zu machen. Tag 66: Ich habe die Pflanze schweren Herzens platt gemacht 😭. Da war einfach der Wurm drinnen. Ich will die Sorte aber so bald wie möglich erneut growen.

October 1 > Harvest morning. New trick... get up before dawn... cut your plant down and hang her upside down... then go back to bed. Hehe... I like this retirement stuff. We get smarter as we age. šŸ˜Ž I did a fair job of plucking fan leaves before harvest morning so there wasn't that much work for me to do anyway on this girl compared to some of the other monsters she grew up with. Took me only about 90 minutes to complete my normal processing and washing. She developed into a wonderful purple color at the end there. The unique feature of this grow for me was that I never topped this girl. Subsequently she developed a huge single top cola that grew about a foot taller than the rest of the plant. Served as a demonstration of why we top plants in general. Hard for me to imagine what a bunch of these in the wild looks like but this is what WILD looks like. Diary note > I'll come back later and add weights and things. I threw in a weight of 100 grams as a marker to appease the gods. Total guess. ======================================================================== October 7 > Guess I underestimated my yield a tad... love when that happens. 😁 Ended up coming in at 212 grams buds and 181 grams trim. Woohoo. Another growing season officially comes to a close today. šŸ‘ŒāœŠ Initially I wasn't sure I wanted to use the Trimbag on this baby... because she was my last plant to harvest this year and I had plenty of time to hand trim her... and I harbored various possibly incorrect assumptions about the Trimbag originally which I have now shed. More on that later. Let me lay out my personal Trimbag history here as a learning experience for the community... ======================================================================== Originally I won this tool as part of my September 2018 diary winnings... and I looked at it strictly as a tool for fairly large scale growers.. of which I did not consider myself at that time. I grew an amazingingly oversized Durban Poison for a 5 gallon pot and I got lucky I thought. ... Then I took a look at how much herb I processed this summer and I said THANK YOU Trimbag! It saved me more than enough hours of hand trimming to demonstrate it’s usefulness. (October 12) >> Already slowing down in post-harvest mode hehe... so it looks like I did the same thing as last year diary-wise. Now I have another Trimbag on my hands but all I need is another magnet actually (hehe)... the zippers show no signs of sticking up at this point after me throwing about 2-3 pounds of herb threw the mill, and the overall bag has only lightly been used at this point IMHO. I'm a little surprised I lost that magnet and it's not a great sign for the longevity of the embroidery - so to speak, but other than that it's solid construction. And simple. I’ll be contacting Trimbag to see if I can acquire a new magnet and we’ll see how that goes. Back to my expectations... I only used this device on stuff I grew outdoors... of which I had enough... more than twice what I grew last summer - but that was by design. If I was to set out a general rule… I would say that I expect the weight of buds to be roughly equal to the weight of trim. This is AFTER I have thrown away any fan leaves plucked on the morning of harvest which are not saved as trim. I stop plucking when buds start to get ripped up if I don’t. Round 1 >> The first go was the early Amnesia 7 batch (Little Girl flowered early), and honestly, I was unimpressed. I looked at it as maybe I didn't let it dry long enough. I have a ritual of washing all my outdoor grown herb which has generally tended to cause things to dry a tad quicker than what one would expect in the field. I walked away from this initial experience like boy I hope I screwed that up and it works better on round 2. Round 2 >> Cream & Cheese CBD ... I think this girl did more to confuse me than anything else. The buds were not oversized but she seemed to take forever to dry. Part of this is probably attributable to excess humidity in the first few days - a weird week - we actually had some rain which is very unusual. But even after a week of drying I only managed 63g of shake on this batch (via the Trimbag). I'm going WTF? Ahem.... I ended up with 269 grams of buds for my Cream & Cheese. After that 63 g shake by bag I added 165 g trim by hand... and I was seriously wondering why this bag thang existed. Turns out C&C was not a good example.... so don't let the bad things weigh you down. Round 3 >> Next came Northern Lights - and my attitude changed completely. I harvested 319g buds, but the initial run with Trimbag generated 144g trim which I followed with 186g hand trim. NL had very dense buds and large internodal spacing which made trimming EZ. She was a monster… but at the same time I had her trimmed in under 4 hours. Of all the beasties I grew outdoors this summer, this was the largest yield for a single plant - but trimming her was a relative breeze, and it felt like it. I thought I hit the sweet spot for maybe how dry the herb needed to be for the product to work well… but probably only partially correct. Plant structure is significant. Round 4 >> Next came round 2 with Amnesia. As I noted in my diary I knew I was going to end up with a pound of herb on this particular strain so I tried to beat this particular batch up to minimize my hand trimming and see what the effect was. The end result of this was that I generated a smaller amount of buds from the larger sized pot (Little Girl was in a 10 gallon container and generated 235g buds/ 360g trim and Big Girl was in a 15 gallon container that generated 223g buds/ 493g trim). Round 5 >> Next came where we’re at in this here diary…Purple Berry Kush. Now originally I wasn’t sure I wanted to run this baby thru the mill. I THOUGHT that maybe because I hadn’t topped this girl and I didn’t put her in a pot bigger than 7 gallons which put her at a direct disadvantage vs my other outdoor girls that the yield would be substantially smaller, but I’ll be damned she ended up with 212g buds. Very satisfied there… and this stuff smells great when I let her get some air. The key here on trimming for this round was twofold. I let the buds dry longer than I normally would have by a few days… because I had nothing pushing me to make space for reason A… and because stuff was intervening for reason B… golf tournament… Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF (Robert Plant was awesome - we share the same birthday and he was 71 in August - I can only hope I’m still rockin’ that hard in 9 years)…you know - stuff. PBK ended up working out the best of all. 212g buds vs 181g trim. That’s the ONLY variant that ended up with more buds than trim. Part of that was how easy PBK was to maintain. I only did ONE major pruning of internal growth - probably later than I should have - I was trying hard to let her grow as wild as possible. But she was very easy to prune fan leaves off when that purple time came. It’s seems clear at this point that indica’s are easier to trim than sativa’s with a Trimbag…. but I’m not sure that’s going to be a revelation to anyone. As far as I’m concerned, anything that grows with an inter-nodal spacing that allows you to neatly separate your buds will work better with the Trimbag. DRY is a necessary ingredient for using this device. Probably drier than I am accustomed to… but that’s why somebody invented Boveda packs right? Anyway… I’m a VERY SATISFIED Trimbag customer at this point. It takes a little work to determine how dry your herb needs to be but even if you have to experiment, the number of hours you save from hand trimming will eventually make it worth your while… and as a newly minted senior citizen I can say that while my time might be free - anything that helps reduce pain - including time spent trimming - becomes quite significant. NOW —> The other side of this coin is that I will probably NOT use the Trimbag when I get back to indoor growing in early December… because I expect to be growing much smaller plants. Most of the things I’ve grown indoors top out at less than a couple ounces so it’s not clear to me that Trimbag is necessary with a yield that small… but I can test that theory later this winter. ================================================= hehe… I kinda promised myself ā€œno more winter cropsā€ after last summers bounty but I found that making edibles consumes a significant quantity of herb, and I really like my brownies. So now that I’ve stocked up to solve that problem, I plan to get back to some indoor growing (because growing is FUN)… mainly autoflowers. I actually have better control of temperature for things that I grow in winter as opposed to summer… but I have to add the heat to make that happen. That compares with the difficulty of adequate cooling if I run my lights during daytime in summer - even with night lights summer temps can be a problem with no AC. I don’t have AC in my house. It’s a function of California microclimates. If I lived 15 miles east of here - we’d BAKE with no AC (air conditioning). If it weren’t for coastal fog - this whole place would be a desert. With climate change - we’re heading that way even WITH the fog. We roll the dice here every winter and hope we get enough snow in the Sierra to hold off the firestorms that will come in the fall. We went thru a period of ā€œdroughtā€ here in California a relatively short while back but even though we are officially out of our drought phase the fall firestorm intensity seems to be getting worse every year. But this is a clear sign I’ve consumed too much indica for one evening and I’m starting to lose track of.... just about everything. Anyhow… I think I’m about diaried out for this year. I have a pretty freaking serious vacation planned to celebrate my retirement for late next month… Las Vegas golf > Joshua Tree National Park camping > Palm Desert resort golf > Beach camping South Carlsbad > Torrey Pines golf > Laguna Beach > Pismo Beach camping > Monterey. It’s been about 30 years since I did anything this crazy (and that was a Grateful Dead tour in 1987 thru Arizona/Utah/California for my 30th birthday). Big difference this time around? Cannabis is LEGAL for the entire trip. I will be well stocked enough to sedate anything that gets near me. See y’all in December. šŸ˜Ž

420 Fastbuds Week 5 Blackberry Auto What up what up. Weekly updates on these two magnificent girls. They both are showing some really cool colors not only on the flowers but leafs as well. It's been getting cold a few day this week so possibly temperature manipulation. Both seem to be happy and healthy up to this point so continuing with the same routine should work fine. I think I'll add some nutes this coming week to boost flower production and give them a little helping hand. All in all Happy Growing

Ready for harvest now, trichs are 20% orange that's perfect for me. They've gone a lovely colour during flush week, dropped almost all her green and gone purple and yellow. Looks lovely, pictures don't show it very well my phone's not great. Responded very well to topping very even chunky buds all round.

Clones got transplanted into my organic recycled soil in solo cups and under the dome. Under 300w LED QB dimmed at 50% Watering with tap water. My live soil is packed with nutrient's and minerals so there’s no need to add nutes for now.

It’s just one giant bush for now šŸ˜Ž was thinking about topping and getting some clones but never got around to getting a cloner and all that. So I’ll just let her grow and hope I get to reveg. Nice melon smell when you touch the stem, super resilient, can’t wait to see it bloom!

Hey Cannafam Happy Tuesday, My little Guava girl has had a much better week just gone. Shes just started her 3rd set of leaves and is looking miuch happier overall 😊 I didn't voice my concerns last week but i was that maybe her tough breakthrough initialy had maybe stressed/stunted her, but thankfully she seems ok, and most development has taken place in the past couple of days due to better conditions. Weather wise its been allot drier/consistant overall but with fog, mist and drizzle starting each day Tuesday - Saturday with the Sun coming through for a bit in the afternoons. Humidity has remained very high but with constant temps of around 19c daytime 14c nightime on those days. Sunday mist and cloud diappeared and it was a lovely hot 25c day/18c night and its been a scorching 28c both yesterday and today! Daylight hours are current 16hr 25 mins but this will now start reducing each day as the Summer Soltice was on the 21st. With the heat shes been kept well watered(twice today) with a good drenching of the soil, as it could be fatal for a seeding if it dries out in these temps. i did think of putting her in shade today and yesterday but thought as shes of half Sativa lineage she'd be ok so let her soak it up, It would seem that this lineage is showing through currently as her leaves are long and slender. The hot weather is due to continue all of this week at least for the rest of the week so im hoping she'll take off further from here 😊 Thats all from me for now, much love Growmies šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š
