This is the fourth week of growing. These flowers are amazing. I've germinated them the same way, the same time with the same conditions, they got the same amount of soil, light, nutrients, but the difference between them is huge. The tallest plant is 100 cm, the middle is aprox. 50 cm, and the smallest is 15 centimetres. I have never seen any seeds with the same genetics and such a huge difference between each plant. The plants got blooming nutrients for the second time, except the smallest one, she still gets veg nutes. Unfortunately I've got fruit flies again, so I am protecting the plants with some glue traps. I had to buy some Secret Jardin Monkey Clip fans, because the old fan did not fit into the wardrobe. The wardrobe is actually a pretty good growbox, the only disadvantage is that it can't fit more than 3 plants.

THC building up bud growth is good. Had to move into a room as space was running out due to growth

Day 2 - LST and topping if possible before transition to flower. Slow for separate branches to grow

Still putting on girth(weight) I can honestly say this is a powerhouse of a plant fattening as quick as big autos ,I will grow it again and FIM it, it's a strain that's very forgiving, and doing great in organic soil,all mix with @Biotabs and @Ecotrive's Biosys and some @Plagron naturals,and minerals, and just water when needed. Thanks for your support 🙏

Day 22 - december 26 The hydro goes really fast now we can see the difference in growth vs the soil ppm 500 Ph 6.1 day 23 water change - 730ppm day 25 i cut off the 2 top fanleaves of the hydro and soil plant wich are blocking light on the stems underneath, now both plants have 6 main stems so both plants will have the same structure. nothing needs to be cut from here its just veg a bit longer and wait for flowers. also did LST on all 6 branches each has a string on them with a pencil attached to them to bend the young stems gently as you can see in the final video of this week. day 28: the hydro plant recovered from the too light nute mix new growth is healthy again theres just brown spots on the oldest water leaves. temps are also a bit low when lights turn of (15ceclius) in the res. i put the timer of the light now at 20/24 to keep it 2h warmer.

12/19/2025 What a ride! So many screw ups on my part and she still came through! I was gonna wait for tomorrow, but after checking trichomes, I decided to harvest. Another reason is because I just popped 2 new seeds. So they'll need to go in the 3x3 soon enough. I'd love to try this strain again without any issues. Lol. She came out at 41 oz. Not bad. So I might get like 4 to 6 oz out of her. Can't complain for that. 12/20/2025 Day 1 and we are looking great! Temp is at 61° f and the humidity is hanging out around 57%. I have it set to 56%, but it likes to hover over it. Fine by me! So I'm guessing around 10 to 12 days. I have 2 seeds germinating right now. It should be a couple days for Germination and then about 10 days (hopefully a little more) in the seedling stage. They'll be moved into their buckets in the main tent. The problem is the 10 to 12 days is in the main tent. Granted I can always move her to the Drying tent after Papaya Cookies finishes up. But that'll be another 7 days or so. Maybe I should do that. I still have to clean all the equipment and wipe the walls down. Should take me just a day to do that. And another day to get the environment acclimated back to 77° and 60% humidity. Anyway, that's all for today. Let's hope it all pans out and I don't have to move her to the dry tent. I just don't want to move her at all. Not until it's trimming time. (I have to trim in the tent so I don't overwhelm my apartment with weed smell. Otherwise I would trim right in my living room. I remembered something. The roots of this little lady were super clear. Not clean by any stretch of the imagination, but but definitely clear. Especially in the pebbles. I have a feeling the sludge from Papaya Cookies was due to the top feeding system. It brought nutrients from the bottom up. But I over fed, so the salts all built up at the top of the water and that's what caused the pH fluctuations. Has to be it. And the light damage. 12/21/2025 Day 2 of drying. I have a time lapse video I'm making of the drying process. Unfortunately it's in night vision, you can only see that. But who cares! It's a time lapse video. They're cool. Nothing else to report. I'll take a picture on day 7 so we can see the difference. Other than that, it'll be short entries like this one. She smells delicious. I know the smell of going to go away for a bit and then come back with a vengeance. 12/22/2025 I suppose a picture is in order. It's only been 3 days. But there you have it. Nothing else to report. Staying strong at 63° and 56%. Something to report: So my pre-filter got clogged and blocked the air flow. By a whole lot. I tried to get it out, but it's kinda stuck there, so I squeeeched it on on itself like an accordion. That worked not great, but now there's air flow. I don't think I'm gonna run another pre-filter next run. Or maybe I will but not until flowering starts. Maybe it'll last the rest of the run. I just don't know how so much dust got in there. My house is honestly spot free. Like vacuumed every other day, wipe surfaces as needed so I don't have to spend a day going through the whole apartment. I do one room a day. So it's never dirty. Spotless apartment. Hell, I move the furniture around every other week to get under. Well, except for the entertainment center. That's kinda too big to move around. Or well heavy. Too much for me to move around at least. But everything else gets moved. The point is, there's very little dust in the apartment. So where did all this shit come from? Would it be the humidifier? I read somewhere that humidifiers launch dust or some sort of compound. Either way, it somehow clogged a pre-filter. At least my carbon filter is clean. Definitely gonna have to figure that one out. 12/23/2025 Day 4 of drying So this is the EXACT reason I kept my humidifier in the tent. It ran out of water this morning and by the time I got up the humidity was down to 37%. Hence why I keep the humidifier in the tent. As a matter of fact, my Papaya Cookies had the same problem. The humidifier ran out of water. Clearly I forgot to fill them up. Lol. Whoops. Anyway, that kinda makes me wonder how others keep the humidity up to a high 50s%. And no, I will not be moving to a tropical climate. Admit it, some of you are thinking that. But seriously. How do you keep your tent in range? Because the ONLY way to do it is to have a humidifier in the tent. It's the only way. Or have it outside of the tent, but either way, you need a humidifier on and running. Mine runs when the humidity drops below 55% then stops at 56%. Honestly I don't know why I'm not getting a range like with the AI. Frankly I think they need to add a drying stage in the AI system. The only annoying thing is the AI does 12/12 even though it's set up for an autoflower. I didn't change it from veg. Just in case something got messed up. We'll see when the next run gets there. Alright. She's on day 4 and has another good 8 days to go. Definitely. If not a day or 2 longer. She is very leafy and I didn't trim as much as I wanted to. I just couldn't reach some of the leaves on the inside. I didn't cut sugar leaves. I want them for concentrate. I think the actual Dry Tent will be free in a few days. Maybe 2, maybe 3. Who knows. Well, me. But I could be wrong. Lol. I will be needing it before long. I have my Apple Strudel and Blue Dream already seedlings and will mostikely need to be transplanted in the next 4 to 5 days. If not sooner. I'm really hoping I'm right and the Dry Tent will be free in a 2 or 3 days. Time crunch! 12/24/2025 Day 5 drying So I moved Lemon Cherry Cookies into the dry tent today. My Papaya Cookies was ready for trimming. Trim jail. So far it's been pretty bouncy because I had the main tent open. Other than that, nothing else to report. Lol 12/25/2025 Happy holidays everyone! Day 6 of drying. I'd say a few more days. So I forgot to fill the humidifier again! I'm setting an alert on my phone damnit. Anyway, the humidity was down to 37% no clue for how long. Probably a few hours. She's not done yet, but that sped up the process a lot faster than I wanted. Damnit. Oh well. I'm gonna have to figure out a better setup. 3 more days maybe? I tried brushing off some of the leaves with my cannabrush, but nothing was moving. Hence not done. Good to know. Cuz that thing is really only good for big buds. Not the small ones I have. Shame that. Maybe I'll get some nice fat nugs next run. 12/26/2025 Day 7 Ok so I live in an apartment house. There's 3 apartments. One downstairs and the other 2 upstairs. I'm in an upstairs unit. Well, SOMEONE (lower apartment dwellers) fucked with the fucking heat! I woke up to a 54° apartment in the middle of winter. The dry tent was 50° as well. I have a space heater, but it's not enough. The temp is up to 62° in the apartment and 51° in the tent. I'm keeping the tent humidity low so I don't get mold while I figure out when these assholes are gonna turn the heat back up. Seriously pissed off. And FREEZING! Anyway, it's only day 7 drying and I'm already feeling dried bud. The branches aren't snapping but hollow and will crush in between my fingers. It'll snap then, but like not when I bend the branch. I think I'm gonna have to ask a question. Or look it up. 12/27/2025 Day 8. I think she's done drying. I was going for 11 days, but clearly that's not happening. Not with the temp swing. Either way, I can smell the doneness and the snap test is ummmmmmm working? Things are snappy now, so I'm gonna trim today. I'll let the curing bags do the thing if they're too wet. Well, that's it for this part of my grow diary. Hoped you enjoyed the read and got some vital info of what NOT to do. Lol. For the rest of the diary, go to the smoke report. Thanks all for checking it out. 12/28/2025 Well, it's trimming day. I forgot to fill the damned humidifier again. So I woke up to 35% humidity in the dry tent. Everything was working fine until I turned the main tent on. The heater started blowing hot humid air instead of the exhaust fan venting it out. So I took that apart. Now I'm trimming in the tent with the humidifier on so it can keep the rest of the plant from getting brittle. I feel like it's a relace against time. Gotta get everything in the grove bags.

This week is pretty routine plants look good was going to flower for 10 weeks but most of the fan leaves are turning yellow indicating that it's almost time to harvest. There aren't too many new white hairs growing most are turning orange.

This was my very first indoor grow in my cupboard with my 1 strain Do-Si-Wine and the other 1 Sunset-Sherbet. Growing the Do-Si-Wine was very fun and this strain especially is also quite tricky to LST because during the Vegetation the plant grows long and slinky, because of this I experienced a snap on week 6. (Here are my notes of the 6th Week) 30th September 2020 ( 11cm in height ) The Do-Si-Wine is growing very well, a very moderate growth as it says in it’s subscription, but none the less still a very beautiful grow so far. The bottom 4 colas are all stress trained to the edges of the pot to ensure each branch from each cola gets to grow outwards in its own space and to get more light. The stem is about 0.7cm thick which is not that thick compared to the SunSet Sherbet. While writing this I noticed my she has SNAPPED from her previous stress straining session, I was checking out the stem thickness and noticed the main stem had snapped. But luckily this is not the first this happened and I know how to fix this. To fix this all you need is some tape, now see if the plant didn’t completely break off you can still tape the plant back together and the plant should heal itself within a few days, although I need to wait a bit before I stress train this one again. She started making pistols🤗, but I’m not sure if this is because of the snap or if it’s getting ready to start blooming. All the side branches from the bottom 4 colas are all nice and long growing at a nice rate. The leaves are nice and strong reaching ( 11cm in length ) My experience from growing Do-Si-Wine 🎶🍷 from Cape Ape Seed seed bank is very good so far, on the site it says moderate growth difficulty and it is quite accurate compared to the Sunset Sherbet’s easy growth difficulty, it’s quite fun working with a moderate growth because the plant needs more tending to, for instance the side branches are thinnish and need to be stress trained often to reach the end of the pot, the plant is also very stiff because she snapped without me realising and had to tend to the break a day later. Also while growing this plant I noticed that the plant’s leaves are very dark green and the bud it’s going carry is going to be white so I can’t wait to see how she makes her buds. (Notes Done) So when I harvested on the 29 December 2020 (Week 19) I have definitely learned a lot about this strain, this strain is extremely exotic and is impossible to find and growing this strain was such a blessing as well being able to smoke top shelf exotic weed straight out of your Cupboard

For LIQUIDS & NUTES ******GREEN BUZZ NUTRIENTS***** organic. Also i’m using their LIVING SOIL CULTURE in powder form! MARSHYDRO ⛺️ has large openings on the sides which is useful for mid section groom room work. 🤩 ☀️ MARSHYDRO FC 3000 LED 300W 💨MARSHYDRO 6” in-line EXTRACTOR with speed-variation knob, comes complete with ducting and carbon filter.

Day 85. Girls got small shock, for last two days temps at the end of light cycle dropped to 18 cel. Nights still was max 22. Some pistils went brown, had to crawl to other side to check for bananas, everything looks ok, had a chance to check Monster Blue Dream, she turned all buds to light and went through hard training like nothing. Turned off other tent and didn't though that it will influence main tent too... All sorted now Before last watering took like 20 leaves covering tops here and there, but buds don't look that mature,that i need to see before taking more leaves off. They are slow runners a bit, but i guess it takes time to grow so many buds ;))) So hopefully defoliation at the end of this week. Calmag and water, full feed, Great White and water is my feed plan for this week. Day 88. Still frost during nights outside and i need to tune up heater : days +23 Cel., nights 24 ;)))) Put heater on timer, hopefully everything will settle up tonight. Girls start to bulk up, some has amazing frost, just my shitty camera and too intense lights can't show it in photos. Day 89. Girls got 3-4 handfuls of BioBizz Worm Humus and Great White was sprinkled on top. Everything was rubbed into and mixed with pots top soil. Think its my last boost, i will do one more feed with full range of Biobizz and will go to just watering them till the end with 6.5 ph. Happy Growing !

Training This week was the start of the LST and, with that, a continuous gentle defoliation to ensure that the new shoots are getting a lot of direct light. Leaves (especially sun sails) growing over new shoots are either pressed down or, if necessary, removed. When LSTing, I always focus on gently bending the branches in the desired direction every day, without disregarding the natural structure of the plant. Once they reach a length of about 5 cm, I start to secure them with training stakes(*1). This way, the risk of damage (as well as overall stress for the plant) is kept to a minimum. Setup The lamp is now at max. intensity and min. distance (35 cm) at around 650 - 700 PPFD. (*1) I built the training stakes myself to match my needs (enough length, natural material, no sharp edges, slightly downward facing angle). Pests + Living Soil + Environment The combination of nematodes and sand seemed to work immediately, because the number of Sciaridae quickly dropped to about 2 - 3 adult flies per day. Still, on day 40 (8 days after adding the sand) I removed it again, because: - it was rather intended to support the nematodes (fewer new larvae), - the Sciaridae had fallen to a level that seemed acceptable, - it would keep the soil too anaerobic and moist in the long term. The decision also had a positive effect on the RH(*2) (approx. 10% increase). (*2) Relative humidity fluctuated slightly from day to day, but generally remained around 50%. Although removing the sand (at the end) of this week increased the RH, I only evaluated this ‘new average' RH from the following week onwards. Environment + Plants The stabilization of the environmental conditions and the increase in light, have allowed the plants to grow intensively this week. In the beginning, the relative humidity was still a little lower than I would like, but acceptable since the plants were still quite small and didn't need to be watered as often (large amount of substrate with corresponding buffering effect to keep the plants healthy. Plants During the seedling phase, I observed slight deficiency symptoms that at first glance looked like a nutrient problem (potassium, calcium, ...?). Since I cannot control the nutrient content as precisely as I could with a hydroponic system e.g., and the damage was manageable and occurred during a phase in which I also stressed the plants by allowing them to become too dry, I simply ignored it... with success. Since the system has been back in balance, there have been no further incidents of this kind. *Gorilla Z Auto was 20 cm tall, Mimosa Cake Auto 12 cm. (Pre-)Flower I have also been able to observe pre-flowering, which is consistent with my other observations. [Autoflowering genetics in particular do most of their growing during this phase, which lasts just under two weeks, roughly starting from week 3 - 5.]

.....

Accidentally "topped" her by hard LST... Way she goes. I top dressed this week with 50/50 Gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4... 😊😊 Things seem to be looking great! Can't wait for flower to come on hard!

This week I'd like to dedicate my growth to beans sister, who would've had a birthday if she was still with us. I day I caught him laughing his ass off for no apparent reason like he lost his damn mind. It turned out he was thinking about this time she was super sun burned and she dropped her ice cream and cried. So we are gonna watch some kids drop their ice cream and cry while listening to her favorite band, Guns n Rose's. (Keep in mind she was 11 years older than beans and tormented him every chance she got. Also she was probably 19 at the time of her incident.)

Hi people 🤗 A lot has happened this week 😄 The 3 Blue Cheese and 2 Kosher Tangie Kush which have been in the flowering tent for 1 week have become very bushy 👍 Unfortunately I just noticed that I completely forgot to take pictures of the Blue Cheese Phenotype # 3 🤦‍♂️🏻 The picture will be given later. The rest of the Vegi tent is also progressing very well. They are repotted in 11 liter pots this week, and then come to the flowering chamber die the following week The next week there will be new pictures, until then I wish everyone a nice start into the new week 🙏🏻💪🏻 Let it grow 🍀🌱

The guys and gals over at the fastbuds team have created some great strains. This plant was super Hardy and took a beating with the weather that we have been having outdoors this year .She was Hardy against most things except the cold that just stopped her growth in its tracks and made the tricohmes frost up pretty fast . I love the colour in the plant and would like to try this again outdoors in cold and summer . I would highly recommend fastbuds to anyone great company and customer service ...cheers canna family and follow along for my next grows also hit my IG account @cannibal19888
