Hey folks! ✌️ I was sick for a whole week and skipped last week's update, but I've got some exciting things to share with you now. At the time of this post, we're on day 53 of flowering. While I was down with a fever, the plants suffered a bit due to drying out. The big one was hit the hardest. As soon as I started feeling better, I watered them, but the big plant experienced some gnarly salt buildup. Both plants were emergency flushed, and now the situation is more than good. During this time, the male plants were actively producing pollen, which I collected. I've decided that I have enough pollen for future experiments, so today I culled the males to ease the workload. In my small tent, the LSD auto by Barney's Farm is flowering. I might pollinate one branch to see what happens. The big plant is struggling with the weight of its branches, knocking its neighbors' heads (it even broke off some male branches!). I've tied the heavy branches to wire supports attached to the main stem. Now I can clearly see the seeds forming and maturing. I'll keep the plants until the seeds start dropping onto the floor. The plants have fully recovered and are feeling great. For nutrients, I'm using AB at 40ml per 5l with an PPM of 1695 and pH of 6.1. I'm giving around 10 liters to the big one and 3-4 liters to the small one. And now, I invite you to admire this beauty. Take care, my friends! Sending you all my love ❤️❤️❤️

Harvest time for this naught OG kush from FastBuds. Not a lot that have been harvested, but there was a lot of tests that took placed. one thing i focused on this grow is how this gall is gonna operate when temps reaches 5 degrees and lower at sleep time and throughout the whole grow, how wil she do with 35% humidity. It was not outdoor grow season here so the challenge was on. She dit super well and at the end showed off some of the best colours I've seen in a long time with a tricone production that is thumping to the eye. Outside season, with no of the perfect conditions, this girl ripped it out and impressed me. I didn’t focus on massive hield but looked at how she performs and how the end product looks. Only have 2 things too say, beautiful buds, thumping smoke! I realy appreciate the creation of this strain by fastbuds. Really recommend this girl for all growers and to grow in extreme weathers. Long live FastBuds

Flowers coming along nicely! Trichomes are starting to form on the fan leaves and my whole house smells like sweet berries! Im worried about my tent getting over crowded, and ive noticed moisture on leaves where leaves overlap. I defoliated lightly, and got another small fan to softly blow over the canopy.

Onto day 35 since flipping to 12/12. Ive basically gone into autopilot mode. The plants have completed the stretch and have really started to harden up the buds. This strain is a 60 Day strain however it will be running 67 days due to an upcoming trip. Take a look at the video, everything is looking lovely.

Plants are too dark green, dropped nutes back to 6ml a gallon. 18 is too close to the light so I'm about to tie down my largest branches. Grow is looking good! Auto flowers is where it's at!

This is a wonderful week of flowering. This week I had to reduce the dosage of my main flowering nutrient, because I started to give them green sensation. I will increase the dose later on step by step back to normal as I see that the girls are okay with it. I had to increase the light distance again, because some of the leaves started to bleach as the lights were too close. That's it for now, I am hoping to see a nice progress in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

The Gassy One - Flower Week 3 Update 🚀 Welcome to Week 3 of flower! Things are going absolutely crazy in the tent right now!🛸🐄 📊 This Week's Stats: EC: 1.8 💧 pH: 5.7 Light (PPFD): 900 for the big lady / 650 for the smaller one ☀️ 📏 The Challenge: The Crazy Stretch Our biggest challenge this week is managing the massive height difference in our AutoPot setup. Our absolute favorite (the big plant) is stretching like a monster, pushing upwards by up to 5 cm (2 inches) per day! 📈 Because of this massive vertical growth, she is soaking up 900 PPFD, while the smaller girl is sitting at around 650 PPFD. 💨 Environment & Maintenance The summer heat is hitting hard , and getting the humidity down has been quite a struggle. To tackle this, I installed a second fan to keep the airflow moving steadily under the canopy. 🌀 I also went in for another heavy round of defoliation ✂️ to open up the canopy, let the plants breathe, and help drop that RH. 💧 Setup Performance I have to say, the setup is performing like a dream. The Athena nutrients are delivering outstanding results, and the pH/EC values in the 47-liter (12-gallon) reservoir remain rock solid. ? The combination of the Athena line and the AutoPot system is producing unbelievable, explosive growth. 🌱💥 Can't wait to see these buds swell up in the next few weeks! 🔥🌿

We cut her early due to a block off in the autopot system.. but she was frosty as a mofo for being cut way to early and the taste was surprisingly very sweet with a piney/spicy kind off aroma and taste

Everything has gone extremely well. Couldn't ask for q better first grow. Have been flushing with just pH'd water for about a week. Starting the ladies dark period today. The smell is super gassy and pungent. I can't wait to taste these buds 🤤 Six Shooter #2 definitely could have gone another 2-3 weeks. I decided to flush it anyway and maybe use it to make edibles. Next grow I will have a separate drying area and not have to worry about synching the harvest dates. Big shout out to Fast Buds for these Awesome Genetics 💪🌱💪 Thank you so much to the Grow Diaries Community and all those that helped and like my grow along the way 🙏

Overall this plant was great to grow, she just grew and was happy doing it the entire time, pretty good yield off a plant that was only about 12inches tall. Seemed to be a lot more resistant to deficiencies then the other two strains this grow. Definitely a great mid-day Smoke!

It has been another amazing week of the plants growing. I have been watching as the Fruity Freak leaves become progressively more fern-like, and ornamental as a result! Based on my Banizzle grows, I knew I needed to understand plant nutrients in a more meaningful way if I wanted these plants to thrive. So, I decided to get a soil test (see Ref. 1 below on how to perform a test) to understand what nutrients my plants needed. The report I received advised that I needed to add 200 lbs/acre of nitrogen, 150 lbs/acre of phosphorus, and 190 lbs/acre of potassium (see picture labeled Pic.1 (FYI you can't see these images unless you login to growdiaries)). I then researched what to do with my results (Ref. 2 helped), and I figured out that my nutrient needs of 200-150-190 fall close to a 2-1-2 ratio. I then looked at different types of organic fertilizers (see Ref. 3 and Ref. 4) and considered that I already had a 3-10-5 fertilizer (Vermibloom) on hand. I discovered Dr Earth’s Alfalfa Meal is 2-1-2 and includes beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae (to promote healthy plant growth and disease resistance). However, I knew I would be low on nitrogen if I only used those two fertilizers. Therefore, I decided to buy some blood meal (12-0-0). I also liked that blood meal is more fast acting while the other two are more moderate. I hunted around for a solid fertilizer calculator and found an amazing tool from the University of Georgia Extension (Ref. 5). I entered all three fertilizers into the calculator, and it kicked out the exact amount of each fertilizer I needed to apply to 1 square foot (see Pic. 2). As I am using 10-gallon fabric pots (that can hold 1.5 cubic feet, but I put stone on the bottom and there’s space left at the top) I decided to use the one square foot application rate as I can always add more later, but I can’t take it away. Not only did I want to understand the nutrients I needed, but I also wanted to understand the structure of the soil (as it was not included in my test results). North Dakota State University has a nice page that discusses this (Ref. 6), and I performed a soil ribbon test (see Video 1) based on this information. I determined my soil to be medium textured (which is great), but I have seen occasional water pooling on the surface, suggesting that it may be more of a medium-fine. This means adding peat moss, coco coir, or other amendments might improve drainage (and plant hydration) and allow for roots to grow more easily. In the long run, I plan to use compost to enhance the soil structure and nutrients. I filled the bottom of my 10-gallon fabric pots with a ½” of pea stone to allow for drainage (Pic. 3). I then partially filled two 5-gallon buckets with topsoil from near where I will plant (but not in an area the roots will reach). I used a digital scale to measure the amount of fertilizers recommended by the calculator (Pic. 4, 5, and 6) and added it to one of the 5-gallon buckets (see Pic. 7). I mixed the fertilizers into the soil as evenly as possible (Pic. 8 and 9). I then poured a two-inch layer of non-fertilized soil, then peat moss, and then fertilized soil (in a roughly 2:1:1 ratio) and blended them together. I repeated this until the pot was full (getting additional soil as needed), and then I repeated the process for the other three pots. I set the filled fabric pots in my garage (Pic. 10) for two days to allow any upset bugs to flee into my garage instead of my house. I then moved the pots (wrapping them in a contractor garbage bag to prevent making a mess) into the room with the grow light. I placed a board on top of the fabric pots to insulate the plants (in their smaller pots) from the cold soil (Pic. 11). Once the soil in the fabric pots reaches room temperature, I will transplant. (Ref. 1) This video shows the method I used to take a soil sample. I didn’t have a field to test, so I took four samples from the area where I will eventually plant outdoors and blended them together. I then mailed my soil sample off to the lab, and about a week later, I received an email with a PDF of my results (included with my pictures this week). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AwxmFxBwg&t=8s (Ref. 2) This video from the University of Minnesota Extension (many universities have agriculture extensions that can assist you with soil testing and growing information for your area) discusses what to do with your soil testing results: https://youtu.be/HYrkcfE62Pg (Ref. 3) This is a nice article that discusses organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.grow-it-organically.com/npk-fertilizer.html (Ref. 4) This article lists the NPK values of many organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.epicgardening.com/organic-fertilizers/ (Ref. 5) Many websites tout a fertilizer calculator…but this one is hands down the best I have found. If you scroll down to the bottom, you can enter any fertilizer type you want (and the cost, if you want). It will give you the exact blend of multiple fertilizers to solve your nutrient deficiencies (I included a snapshot of the solution I used in my pictures). https://aesl.ces.uga.edu/soil/fertcalc/ (Ref. 6) This is an excellent article that discusses how to evaluate your soil: https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/publications/evaluating-preparing-and-amending-lawn-and-garden-soil
