Haven't updated my grow diary for a little more than two weeks due to a severe back flare up. Yup, bad back strain, which has made it hard to sit, lay, stand for any duration of time. Suffice to say, much has happened since last update. The PBCRbx has undergone a growth spurt after a bucket change and upping nutrient (ppm) levels as I transitioned her to flower. And in that time, she received one defoliation in veg and a recent (and last) defoliation in flower. At this point, I just need to maintain healthy roots, consistent environment, and proper water levels with feedings. She's due another bucket change soon as ppm levels dropping and ph is adjusting upwards every reading. This is good sign from my understanding as a first time DWC grower. As far as feeding, lowered grow big (veg) and upped both tiger bloom and beastie blooms along with a splash of big bloom and cal/mag. Topping off buckets with about 1100+ ppm, which helps maintain ph in bucket at roughly 700-800 ppm. But it's getting harder to maintain those levels in flower, so that's why I believe a bucket change is in order. Here are photos spanning the entire 2-3 week period since last update.

10. week. Hopefully less than 4 to go. Grow continues to run smoothly as before. The only point that is stressful is the humidity some times but mostly only after watering and since I’m watching them plants every 2 hours anyway the build isn’t that large. I just needed to understand that these plants will increase their transpiration towards midday and then decline again. So when I see 60% at lunch I don’t have to panic as much. Ryu started to smell strongly when touching him but the smell when opening the tent is still moderate. However I’m looking forward to a very nice and efficient harvest.

I was selected to test some of Fastbuds new genetics. Seeds germinated in 48hrs and 5 days later it broke ground and hasent slowed down. This grow is in my 4x4ft grow space located in an uninsulated shed. Each plant has a dedicated 150-200w LED from Viparspectra or Mars. Winter Temps in my area spike to -15C or more in Jan and Feb, so this will be an interesting and challenging grow. The grow room is 20-30C above ambient temperature, so there is a little manual and auto manipulation of grow Temps. See my video Lights 50-75%, 30 inches, 75-120w per plant Soil temp: 21-25C Light cycle: 5:1 Air temp: 18-27C

Week one of Flower in the books that two days of darkness got the girls looking great going into flower. I can see them showing their sex and little buds are starting to form. The leaves have a very nice faint aroma if you touch them and smell you hands very nice smell. All 11 girls are super healthy. Running them on the Growlink has seemed to be pretty much worth the price tag it definitely helps with being able to take care the garden more efficiently with the girls being water automatically. I still do my check ups and maintenance to make sure everything is running smooth but my work flow is way smoother with an automated room. The Gorilla cookies FF and one of the orange sherbets are the taller ones of the plants on the table. The other two orange sherbets FF and all 3 of the wedding cheese cakes are short bushy plants. Wedding cheesecake FF has a unique look and growing shape very short and compact and full of leaves.

This plant is growing like a beast. She has exploded over the 4' cattle fence. Starting to smell nice and is very receptive to LST. I am excited to see how she finishes. I've learned to love CBD stains over the last few years. Hopefully Cream Caramel CBD lives up to its expectation!

(Have been thinking about it, decided to just do both runts under one diary and just using the Green Sensation on them both. Had only used growdots on the other one, but will be bringing the other runtz into this diary aswell) Beginning to add the Green Sensation nutrients this week. Really curious to see how she looks in the next 2 weeks now that its being added!. But these Runtz are growing well, looks great to me so far nothing crazy , bit different pheno then my other grow but I'm happy with both .. Can't wait to see how they flower fully. Not much else was done, I do regret not training but wanted to let it do its thing , didn't have the space for anything big (I never go for massive, one of these days I'll veg longer tho just for the experience of it) Had cut off a handful of leaves that were laying on each other. Did alil form of lollipoping but not extreme. And only plan besides Green Bay is the Recharge will also be used 1x weekly. Lights are currently around 32 DLI roughly 700/750ppfd off the top of my head. I'm thinking around 40 I may push to peak but we will see, no added CO2 besides environmental atleast its above 500 pretty steady raises to 8/900 amd alil higher when I'm in talkin shit to them. The water input is picking up in frequency aswell. Watering every other day still due to how cold it is they are drinking slow but their just about 3/4s of a gallon currently.. Temps have been way lower this run then I really wanted just last heater I had decides to quit on me.. big area so tough to replace that thing and of course it was just out of warranty lol by 2 months. The one is getting some purples on it this one's pretty light green , ec is in range after a quick lil media test, had been curious if she was hungry so decide to check did alil runoff when watered prior to feeding the plagron. Ec was fine and PH was alil low so bringing that up as I feed. Besides that tho , their smelling really sweet.. literally like a pack of runtz already ...anxious to get to smoke some of my first try at a runtz plant! As always I appreciate everyone's time checking these things out.. thanks for your support and encouragement. And another big thank you to Zamnesia and Plagron for throwing this together!! Been a fun contest so far.. Beans: https://www.zamnesia.com/uk/ https://www.zamnesia.com/us/

-SOAKING SEEDS STARTED AT 4:15PM on 4/2/22 All of them sank by the next day with a little stirring of the water - most of them were floating before I stirred the water then they sank & stayed underwater. -PLANTING SEEDS STARTED AT 6PM on 4/3/22 Seedling Starter Soil: 1 Coco Coir Block (hydrated with 12cups aquarium water) About 5 cups Vermiculite 4Tbsp Down To Earth Starter Nutrients Mycorrhizal Fungi Spring Water - watering the hole with mycorrhizal before planting seed & then again after planted. -AFTER THE FIRST SPROUT ON 4/5/22 Turned on seedling clip light to blue only, dimmest setting @ 20%. Keeping light on for 18/6 6am-12pm - 4/6/22 INCREASED BLUE ONLY SEEDLING LIGHT TO 50% It seems like they were slightly stretching for light **watch for light burn on cotyledon leaves** -4/7/22 MORNING INCREASED BLUE ONLY SEEDLING LIGHT TO 100% The plants are stretching even more I increased light to full 100%, it'll have to keep an eye on them & make sure they don't get light burnt or topple over from reaching -4/7/22 AFTERNOON SWITCHED LIGHT TO GIIXER The two tallest plant cotyledon started to droop to the side so I didn't want to take a risk continuing to try the clip light only on blue @ 100%. I have the Gixxer on only veg at a distance of 10" away from the tops of the cotyledon leaves. I also cracked the lid & put an oscillating fan on low just to give them a tiny bit of movement to strengthen their stems because they'll be tall and weaker with stretching. *I tried using a new seedling light & it was a failure - they are now stretching due to that light. I switched back to my trusted seedling light & hoping they'll be back on track.*

Week 10 of flower, looking to chop next week. The trichomes are about 70/30 cloudy/amber. Doing a few days of darkness and really cold night temps to hopefully push out the colors and resin production here towards the end.

Week 12 pushed the Bruce Banner plants even closer to harvest 🌸❄️ The buds gained more density and weight, and all plants looked very mature at this point. Trichome development showed that #2 and #3 were clearly entering their harvest window. Most trichomes were milky, with some amber already visible, especially on the main colas. Because of this, I decided to give them a little more time to fully ripen. #1 was still slightly behind in maturity and will remain in the tent longer, while #2 and #3 are planned for harvest soon. Due to the heavy buds, the plants needed continued support to stay upright. Despite the weight, all flowers stayed compact and healthy with no signs of rot or stress. Watering this week was kept simple with RO water + CalMag only, no additional feeding. Environment: Temp ~24°C RH ~50–55% Overall a very controlled and smooth late-flower week. The plants are clearly finishing strong, and harvest is right around the corner ✂️❄️

420Fastbuds-FBA2505 I'm excited as it's tester time. Germination week is complete. I planted 3 seeds and had all 3 sprout within 48hrs of being in the soil. I do soak them for 48hrs in a glass of water before planting. I can't wait to see what the weeks to come will have in store. Happy Growing

Week 7 – Canopy-Kontrolle & Verdichtung Diese Woche merkt man deutlich: Der Stretch ist vorbei. Jetzt geht es nur noch um Blütenmasse. Die Struktur steht. Jetzt wird verdichtet. ⸻ 🌿 Entwicklung der Sorten Die Early Skunk hat sichtbar aufgeholt und fügt sich jetzt viel harmonischer ins Gesamtbild ein. Die Big Bud bleibt zwar optisch dominant, aber durch aktives Angleichen der Höhe wirkt das Zelt jetzt deutlich homogener. Bei Pure Power Plant und Somango XL habe ich die Töpfe erhöht, um ein gleichmäßiges Canopy zu erreichen. Ergebnis: • bessere Lichtverteilung • weniger Hotspots • gleichmäßigere Bud-Entwicklung • saubere Oberkante SoG zahlt sich jetzt richtig aus. ⸻ 💡 Licht Die Lampe wurde in dieser Woche auf 90 % erhöht. Abstand unverändert. Die Pflanzen reagieren stabil: • keine Lichtverbrennungen • keine Bleaching-Anzeichen • kräftige Blütenbildung Man sieht deutlich, dass die Energie jetzt komplett in die Buds geht. ⸻ 🌸 Blütenstatus • Buds beginnen dichter zu werden • Internodien schließen sich • erste leichte Harzbildung sichtbar • Pistillen weiterhin frisch und weiß Die Big Bud zeigt lange, gestapelte Colas. Die anderen Sorten bauen kompaktere, rundere Blüten auf. ⸻ Klima Die reduzierte Luftfeuchtigkeit zahlt sich aus. Das Blätterdach ist dichter geworden, aber die Luftzirkulation scheint zu passen. Keine Anzeichen von Feuchtigkeitsstress. ⸻ 📊 Fazit Woche 7 • Canopy aktiv ausgeglichen • Licht fast am Maximum • Stretch abgeschlossen • Bud-Stacking läuft • Struktur sauber kontrolliert Ab jetzt geht es in die Phase, wo Gewicht und Harz entscheiden. Man sieht: Das ist kein Zufallsgrow. Das ist Planung + Kontrolle.
