BIGFRUITS!! 😍 I love the tasty terps with this one!! https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Thanks also of course @Anesia_Seeds, for the beautiful genetics!! 💜 💜 💜 ________________________________________________________ Strain Information: Foster Foster is a balanced hybrid with a slight sativa dominance and it’s the result of crossing a particularly THC-rich Emperor Cookies Dough with our highly potent Sleepy Joe. The combination of these two exceptionally strong parents has resulted in a premium strain that delivers a fine balanced aroma and an insane high. Foster’s high is deceptively slow at first and creeps up, but after a few minutes her outsized potency unfolds with dizzying energy and euphoria. The mind is suddenly full of motivation and a feeling of lightness spreads. At the same time, the body is flooded with tingling, warm effects and greatly relaxed. The strain clears your mind for new ideas and concepts, lets you dream and makes you feel really happy. Due to her high potency and measured THC levels of up to 35%, she will delight and challenge those with a high tolerance with ease, while certainly beaming away novices for several hours. Because of this, she is not recommended for beginners and you should not underestimate this fragrant beauty. Growing Foster Foster is a resilient and vigorous strain that produces excellent results indoors, outdoors and in the greenhouse. She tips the scales in yields of up to 550g/m² or 1000g per plant, grows quickly and forms many strong side branches with large heavy buds. Towards the end of the flowering period, the buds are covered in a thick layer of glistening resin and emit an intense sweet, fresh and floral scent. She is perfect for growing in a SCROG or SOG and has a very favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, making manicuring easy. Her terpene profile is complex, offering an aroma and flavor reminiscent of coffee, caramel, freshly baked cookies, and vanilla. It’s a seductive treat that shouldn’t fool you with her mind-blowing potency. She is among the strongest strains on the market and has enough THC to blow your head off. Therapeutic effects Due to its complex terpene and cannabinoid profile, it has a similar wide range of uses in the therapeutic field as in the recreational field. It helps to reduce stress, has a mood-enhancing effect and is extremely helpful for pain and inflammation. https://anesiaseeds.com/product/foster/ ________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! 💚 💚 💚 If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) ✨ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cm³/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cm³/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow + Bloom to pH 6.2 🍪 😍🍪 😍🍪 😍🍪 😍🍪 😍🍪 😍

Everything is going amazing, nice trichome development and the smell is amazing. I'm going to keep a close eye on the trichome and maybe after next week I'll start flushing. Thanks for the support and keep on growing!

Gorilla glue auto: It keeps growing and forming buds... 50 centimeters This week I put in a dehumidifier to see if the humidity goes down... 70% humidity I increased the dimmer to 80% with the distance of 40 centimeters Gorilla glue#4 photoperiod: In the 5th week of gorilla glue 4 I did the first topping on the plant...

Day 57, very happy so far, plants are just taking everything they get, a very easy strain to grow. Added Bud Explosion this week as flower has kicked in, really looking forward to the next month as temps drop in my part of the world. Thinking of letting temps be a little cooler in grow area as they seem to enjoy it. Thanks to those who comment I enjoy hearing from other fellow growers, learning new things and becoming better at growing this magnificent plant. Happy growing ✌️

Week 3: Goodbye Lazy, Hello Mainlining & Tent Issues! Another week in the books! Since my last log on September 20th, things escalated pretty quickly. We officially ditched the strictly "lazy" mindset, made some major training decisions, and even had to deal with an unexpected tent emergency. Here is the daily breakdown of Week 3: September 21st: The EC Component Benchmark I spent Day 1 of Week 3 doing some lab work for optimal nutrients. I took the time to measure and log the exact EC increase contributed by each individual nutrient component. Going forward, this will allow me to dial in custom nutrient ratios much more precisely rather than blindly following stock formulas. You can find the exact readings at the bottom of this days report. September 22nd: Water Top-Up & The Light Leak Emergency Noticeable uptake! I topped up each bucket with 300 ml of remineralized RO water to counteract a dropping EC level. A falling EC is always music to my ears because it means the girls are actively drinking and consuming nutrients faster than water. Later that night, I noticed light leaking through a small puncture in the tent wall and the zipper also seems to have problems. What leaks out can also leak in! To prevent catastrophic light pollution during the future flowering stage (and avoid any hermie risks down the line), the main outer cover of the grow tent had to be replaced immediately. Doing a full tent skin replacement solo with only one working hand was completely out of the question, so I called in some much-appreciated reinforcement. Emergency handled! September 23rd: Mainlining Decision & Top-Feeder Strategy Since I already had help on standby, I figured it was time to drop the "Lazy Grow" label (or at least rename it to Not-So-Lazy). Decision made: we are mainlining! To kick things off, I pruned away the side branches on nodes 1 and 2 to stop energy wastage and force all growth momentum directly upward toward the top node. I also turned off the DWC system's top-feeders on both buckets. The root networks are now fully submerged in the main reservoir and thriving. Moving forward, I’ll only run the top-feeders while I’m actively working on the plants, keeping it strictly airstone-only for the rest of the time. September 24th: The Big Chop (Topping & Defoliation) I’m generally not a fan of stressing young plants too heavily in one go, so I waited until today to top them above the 4th node. I also completely cleaned out all growth at the 1st and 2nd nodes. Thanks to the massive fan leaves, those lower sections were sitting completely in the dark anyway and if a leaf can't catch light for photosynthesis, it’s just stealing plant energy and has to go! September 25th: Smooth Cruising Just a minor pH adjustment today, bringing it back down from 5.8 to 5.5. Plants are taking the topping and defoliation like total champs. September 26th: Drop in EC & Reservoir Strategy The EC dipped below 1.3 mS/cm today. Rather than just topping off the tanks with fresh nutes and guessing which specific minerals were consumed, I’m planning a full reservoir change out. Fresh start, clean water, and precise nutrient ratios for the next stage. Note: Today, Sept 27th, is dedicated to editing footage and putting together this week's log! I also bought a new Grow-Cam … but I haven't figured out how to get the files from SD-card to Computer. there are some format issues and that's a problem for tomorrow Hempel. Not planned but we did a complete reservoir change to a fresh EC 1.5 mS solution because it feels like the plants are hungry. Now that the mainlining structure is set and the plants are recovering seamlessly, let's see how fast those new main mains explode in Week 4! As promised, the Lab Day: I prepared my Base water (CaO + MgO) and landed at a picture-perfect 0.272, basically a carbon copy of the original calibration. Then Vega A went in and only delivered about 90% of the EC bump I was expecting. Note to self, shake that bottle harder, sediment is not your friend. Vega B and Cannazym behaved exactly as predicted, Rhizotonic did its usual "not touching your EC" routine. Then the plot twist: I bumped the pH with 1.4 ml of pH+, and instead of holding steady, the EC actually dropped from 1.430 down to 1.375. Correcting the pH back down afterward didn't bring it back either, which rules out a fluke reading and points to a small calcium precipitation event: dump pH+ in one big shot instead of small sips, and you can spike the local pH high enough to knock calcium out of solution as an insoluble salt before it ever gets a chance to mix in properly. Filed away for next time with smaller pH+ doses and more patience. Closed the 0.125 gap with 6.05 ml each of A and B, and the meter read exactly 1.505. Sticking the landing after a session with that many curveballs felt genuinely satisfying — following Canna's own chart to the letter would've left me nowhere close. Moral of the story: trust your meter, not the label, and the girls get exactly what they came for. So if you are interested, here is the working feeding chart of Canna Aqua Vega to reach EC 1.5 mS in 10 Liter Base Water (EC 0.27): Canna Aqua Vega A - 17.55 ml - EC 1.070 Canna Aqua Vega B - 17.55 ml - EC 1.432 Rhizotonic - 13.5 ml - EC 1.432 Cannazym - 16.85 ml - EC 1.496

First time grower - Day 3 - Seedling Stage Unknown strain, hopefully its a female Light meter currently reads 101 lux x100 Should I give it more lighting or put it closer to the plant? Using roots organic soil, should I prepare for nutrient feeding after week 1? And if yes, what nutrients should I feed them?

The garden has officially shifted gears! This week, the "stretch" finally kicked in, and we are seeing the very first pompons (pistils) appearing on all the plants. To support this massive transition, I finally got around to making my WCA to provide the calcium boost needed for these new flower sites. The Game Plan The Stretch is Real: Both plants have jumped in height this week. The Super Boof (grey pot) is stretching with a lot of vigor, while the Strawberry Banana (brown pot) is filling out into a beautiful, wide bush. WCA Production: I spent time roasting eggshells and infusing them in vinegar to create my Water-Soluble Calcium. This is the perfect timing because the plants need calcium right now to build strong cell walls for the developing buds. LST Refinement: I’m continuing to adjust the ties. Now that the stretch is happening, I’m guiding the new growth to maintain an even canopy across the entire garden. The First Flowers: Seeing those white hairs (pistils) popping out everywhere! It’s the official start of the flowering journey. Grower’s Note: The synergy between the Biochar in the soil and the new WCA is going to be huge. The plants look "hungry" for minerals right now, so the timing of this KNF input couldn't be better. KNF Recipe: Water-Soluble Calcium (WCA) (Adding this to my journal for anyone following the KNF path) How I made it: Roasting: I took clean eggshells and roasted them in a pan until they turned a nice toasted brown. This "unlocks" the calcium. The Reaction: I put the shells in a jar and added brown rice vinegar (1:10 ratio). The fizzing was intense—that’s the calcium being extracted by the acid! Fermentation: I’ll let this sit for about 7 to 10 days until the bubbling stops and it's ready to use.

Into the second week of flower and have not seen much stretch in these girls yet. All are showing pistils, I am defoliating a lot to maintain an even canopy. Girls received their first compost tea and a good top dressing of malted barley. Pistils development is continuing strong. Looking forward to some more stretching They ended their week really good, flowering is slowly getting there. Still haven’t seen much stretch from these. #2 is noticeably shorter thus far, with #1 showing the most flower development

Day 29 - Things going along nicely .... i trimmed down some of the bigger bottom leaves, i didn't have enough soil to fill the pots, and the plants are short, bushy, weird little things, that filled out the inside of the pots..... they are only 15cm tall, but the leaves are 10+ cm .... really weird little plants.... haha.... i decided to trim the fk out of one of the ones in the double pot, and practiced topping on her.... i'll cut her down maybe trimmer her of the pot, and focus on just the 2........ they seem to be still growing upwards, so i'm not in a hurry to put em into flower mode......... on the main one i noticed some neut deficiencies ... so i upped the neuts.... should be ok, i put a good heavy neut and it stopped the spots etc..... i think some bug or something got in the double pot and is livin in there, but he doesn't eat much, haha....... the main stalks are as big as my thumb and under each canopy is all the branches..... it's really strange, to go in under all the growth and see it all .... they look kinda small, but the entire under canopy of leaves is all full .... i'm moving the huge sized leaves out and pulling each branch up over them as they grow..... this is 21 THC and 19 CBD, so it's all the good stuff for medicine ... the smell is getting abit noticable and i'm hoping the exhaust fan arrives from china soon.... just got positive ventilation into a carbon fil. ... and daily air out........ i think i had the led lights too low..... so i'll raise em abit more and see if i can get em to stretch .... Day 30 -- added some video's...... daylight vids... worth watchin for a laugh ...... first grow, so idk what i'm doin, ... any help/comments appreciated Day 32 -- added some pics of the late night trim and LST,... idk looks ok.... Day 34 -- added a video...

The two mother plants are being put into flower this weekend and one of their many clones will be selected as the new mother assuming I keep Zkittles in my collection, she’s a bit unruly indoors.

The ladies are still doing great and stacking very nicely! The trichomes on both pheno’s are insane, super dense buds too. The leaves do look very very dark green with slight tip burns, so I dosed down the nutrients slightly from 1100+ to 950 ppm. The grow light makes the leaves look more light green than they actually are (check the night shots). Both plant smell super super sweet, not really blueberry (yet) though.
