Week 10 - 1/3 -1/10 1/4 - update - not sure what to do next. my feeding schedule only has 10 weeks of feed so i might flush with water for last 2 weeks until it is ready to go? **i think the deficiencies are either Maganese or something im not sure .... i think i should add some cal mag to my feed but i didnt want to go "rambo" mode just yet with this being my first grow i wanted to stick to the gameplan. going forward i might cowboy up a little more because i didnt realize that the food chart was more of a guide and then depending on what the plant tells you - you adjust appropriately... but whatever live and learn . PPMS havent really gone over 500 during the whole grow either so i think i got some room to work with.... people said they use 3ML of CalMag the entire flower stage. flower ppm should be 1000 and veg between 600 and 800 .... ill try that moving forward

4/8/2023 Week 8- Day 1 of Veg (Day 66 overall) I still have 1, 1/2" of clearance to the net. The Competition will hit the half way point on Wed, that leaves exactly 10 weeks left from Wed. So I decided to go ahead and top off the water by adding 10 gallons to the system today. I added the appropriate Nutes. I am considering 2 plans now that I have decided that I am going to flip to flower on Saturday no matter what. Plan 1, I can evaluate throughout this week and flip earlier than Saturday if needed which would mean draining my system on that day adding week 1 Flower Nutes to the tank and start Week 1 of flower that day. I decided to go before before Saturday I will go ahead and change the water to week 1 flower, the same day I change the lights to 12/12. Then I will wait until the second Saturday so say 10 days if change my lights on Wed and then run Week 2 water/Nutes into Week4 and starting Week 5 change every week for rest of Grow. If I make it until Saturday will keep Week 1 Nutes until Week 3 and then starting Week 4 change every week until done. Mammoth Silica- Bi weekly addition .5Mil/Gal * 36 Gallons = 18Mil Added 10 Gallons to the system Mammoth Silica= .5Mil/Gal = 5Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal = 5Mil Root Drip = 1Mil/Gal = 10Mil FloraMicro= 5.4Mil/Gal= 54Mil FloraGrow= 4.2Mil/Gal= 42Mil FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 46Mil ORCA=.5Mil/Gal = 5Mil 4/9/2023 Week 8- Day 2 of Veg (Day 67 overall) Less than 1/2" left until #3 hits the SCROG line, I think she is going to push me to flip tomorrow. Not much today let them rest and will continue to monitor in the morning to see if I am going to need to flip early.

1st pre flowers starting will update next week 11th July

Harvest after 9 weeks of blooming

La culture c’est dans son ensemble bien passée. La critical+2.0 est une herbe plutôt facile à faire pousser. Je suis un peu déçu du rendement, mais je pense que cela ne provient pas de la génétique, mais plutôt de mon expérience qui demande à être améliorer encore. Et peu être aussi augmenter la puissance de la lampe pour obtenir des buds encore plus grosses. Je ferais un update pour le smoke review.

It's week 3 of the Veg stage Take care of them as usual, watering day other day and leave the pots dry on Sat-Sun. 1st topped was last week and seems they are doing good. Just the only 1 of Tropicana Cherry X Peach Ozz that seems weak, may replace with the other strain!

*So many leaves!! Lots of defoliation still. *Smells stronger, earthy *About to have her own tent

Week 1 of flowering is progressing well. The canopy is flat and filling the net evenly. Started adding Top-Max and keeping up with Calmag

Oct.29 - We transplanted the girls into soil since they are moving into vegetation phase Nov.4 - Watered each plant 250mL, 0.25mL of each nutrient for each girl

This plant was a dream to grow, wish I'd taken cuts. Halfway through dry at 7 days. Drying at 55 - 60 % RH and 17 - 19 degrees C. I anticipate she'll be done between 10 - 14 days total dry time and I'll then trim and update weights on this Harvest. 133.75g total after trim. She's a nice smoke, very happy.

D71. Week five of flower and the girls are simply doing their thing. I scouted the plants today and found thrips on the second girl. I was hoping the lacewings would have gotten them all by now, but no such luck. I'll give them a week before ordering another batch. For some reason, the thrips avoid the first girl. Visually, there's also a clear difference between the two girls, with the first girl being darker and having more buds. ------------------------------ D73. I brewed a short (6 hours) compost tea today consisting of worm castings, kelp meal, neem meal, humic and fulvic acid, rock dust, biochar, and molasses. After the brew, I added homemade Bokashi juice, which lowered the pH of the tea to 6.6. Each girl got 2.5 liters of tea (5% of pot volume.) I also did another light round of defoliation, down low on the plants. ------------------------------ D75. Each girl got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5, with 5 ml of FFJ. The plants stretched SO MUCH after flipping them into flower that it's challenging for the light to penetrate the canopy, and it's pretty dark further down. I bought some LED grow light strips and installed them in the tent to provide additional side lighting. It's only 36 W of extra lighting, but I hope it will help to develop the numerous buds down low. I put the lights on the left side of the tent, around the first girl, since she has a lot more buds, but now that it looks like the concept works, I might get another set of lights for the right side of the tent. ------------------------------ D77. We've reached the end of the fifth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. Ahem, almost all since I still have the thrips to contend with, BUT I just put a bunch of Cucumeris predatory mites in the tent, so the war rages on. A friend suggested adding white cloth below the plants to reflect more light toward the lower buds. Sounds plausible, but I didn't have any fabric, so I went all ghetto by simply putting strips of kitchen paper on top of the scrog net. Not the most fantastic reflector material ever, but it's what I had at hand. Plus, it's easy to work with and costs next to nothing. I doubt it will make a big difference, but even a slight increase is still an increase, and I could see a visible difference in the amount of light hitting the lower canopy. Finally, each plant got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.3, with FFJ and Bokashi Juice. ------------------------------

What a beast of a plant the smell is starting to really be crazy strong of straight dank smell like a really good gelato smell and the stems are getting an intriguing color maybe the leaves or buds will turn a black color

After topping last week we've just been watching them grow. Bending down the branches to help them spread out. Over this next week I'll start my lst ties to help pull them down and out.

Week 6th started. I will add each plant 100 ml water 2x a day so 400ml altogether. I still always spray the topsoil also. The same fertilization method will be done, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 2x 100ml acacia honey and bat guano water mix for each plant. I changed their places so Purple Punch is the left side now and the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe placed to the right. I always rotate them to get equal light. Last day of the 6th week. Gelato Cookie D'ohpe doubled its height. I decided to make the Purple Punch flower but it is not autoflower I separated it for 36 hours darkness and then I will give 14 hours darkness and 10 hours light the first 7 days. So every night I will put it in the tent with the other one and remove in the morning to be in darkness. I also need to reset the timers. End of this week Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 65 cm, Purple Punch is 35cm.

💐 22 dias de flora. Muita resina, estrutura incrível. Eu só preciso de um led melhor, as plantas estão lindas e a iluminação não permite que a câmera capte toda a sua beleza.

Excited to see the pistols keep coming and coming I have such tight spacing that the buds will probably start connecting by the end of the week on the Royal Gorilla Day 19- Tomorrow I will tie some branches down to open up the plants more. The LSD plants needs it the most!

06.07.2026 Preflower stretch Hi Growmies, welcome back to week 5 of my Fast Buds Auto Grow! Weather and Conditions The past days have been warm but not extreme. No rain at all during this period, which is starting to become noticeable now — especially as my rain barrels are slowly running low. Temperatures have been stable in a comfortable summer range, without any real extremes. The greenhouse still builds up a good amount of heat during the day, but overall conditions are fairly balanced. Water management is slowly becoming more important again, as everything now depends fully on irrigation without any natural rainfall support. Growth The ladies have officially entered the pre-flower stage and the stretch is fully underway. Every day they are noticeably taller and are quickly filling out the available space. Papaya Cookies is currently leading the pack. She is already showing slightly coloured pistils, and the first proper bud sites are clearly forming. Apricot and Tangie are just a bit behind but are also stretching heavily and starting to stack nicely. At this point, I’ve stopped all LST. From here on out I don’t want to stress the plants during this sensitive transition phase anymore. The risk of hermies is not worth it, so I’ll let them grow naturally from now on. Feeding Last week I started feeding with T.A. TriPart nutrients together with T.A. CalMag, as I assumed the Plagron Bat Mix was starting to run low on nutrients. Apricot reacted with slight nutrient burn on a few leaf tips, while the other two handled the feeding without issues. Some older leaves have started yellowing, which suggests the soil is indeed slowly running out of available nutrients. For now I’ll slightly reduce the feed strength for Apricot and keep observing how all three respond over the next days. Pests First signs of leaf miner activity showed up on a few leaves. I removed the affected leaves immediately and will keep monitoring the situation closely, but for now everything remains under control. Apart from that, still no aphids, thrips or snail damage — so overall I’m happy on that front. Final Thoughts Despite a few small issues, I’m really happy with the overall progress. The stretch is in full swing, flowering has clearly started, and the girls are developing nicely. Now the real flowering show is about to begin. Catch ya next week, guys! Smoking_Joe_Frazier

The plants don't have enough space to grow. The spaces are crowded, and there's poor air circulation between the plants. I'll give them attention until the end.
