6/15/2021 Girls looking nice, I'm planning on vegging for this week and depending on growth scroging and switching to flower by week 6. Mazar looks a bit behind, all because that starting hinder from having a cotiledon break.

Overall this week was very steady! They drank a lot, between Sat-Sat I had to fill res twice. I think my res is 50L, so they went thru 100 L (or so) in a week. Or about 2L per plant per day! Probably on Tuesday, I might defoliate again. It's a pretty solid sea of green, but there is a lot below canopy and these are Autoflowers, So I will promote the Larf growth, to use in edibles etc. Generally I try to avoid defoliating into flower, but desperate times! Haha The interesting thing is, when I look at my week to week data, I can see as the canopy thickened, the overall temperature of the Tent went down, then stabilized at about 24c. So to me, that indicates the canopy is absorbing much more energy than previously (avg was 27.5c). So what use to raise the tent by 3c, is now going right into the Plants. I'm very hopeful about this run! :)

Absolutely love this strain

High GD community, Week 4. Starting to veg real good. As writing this, ive just bended those 2 ladies all the way down. 1 week left for them to grow potential, friday transplant into the 12 liter pots. That will give them 5 days to recover and spread their roots before they get the switch. See yall next week For more, Grow safe buds 🙏🍀🍀🍀🙏

July 5th. 21 days post flip Clone#1: Got chopped a few weeks back had balls. Clone#2 Really liking this one going into flower. Buds seem to be the closest in structure so hoping to get some semi dense bugs from this one. Will see how it develops! Clone#3 Started off real small and absolutely exploded in stretch. Bud structure is interesting so far not sure how it’ll end up we will see! Clone#4 This thing has been and continues to be an absolute monster. Least dense bud structure of all three though. This one might be a sativa sativa. Mothers/father All are growing well. Going to get topped tmmr on the 6th to stunt them again to slow them down while the clones finish. All 4 clones At one point two of them were touching the light and almost all the tops were within an inch or two of the light. After this they were growing well above the lights. This caused bleaching on the ones within inches and burnt the two that touched the light. I’ve since super cropped them violently to force them back under the light. At this point all the tops are about 6 inches from the light but they seem happy. I still have one top a couple inches away that I’m using as a test to see how much light these things can handle. So far they are monsters with handling the lights. You can see the tops within 6 inches are no longer pointing leaves upwards. The one within an inch is pointing upwards to decrease its surface area. Nothing but water so far and will continue to be nothing but water they don’t seem hungry yet. Will give build a flower in a week or two. You’ll notice I didn’t provide the heights this week for the plants. At this point it’s just because how difficult they are to measure. Praying they stop getting taller within the next few days. Very little smell so far, I expect to start getting something here in the coming weeks. Gob bless and happy growing guys!

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

Late update, ran into some issues with the roots but the end product is still decent. Will make some tweaks next time, the problem was my transplant. I didn’t put the plants down deep enough and the soil was compacted to add. Plants start tipping over and nearly derooted when buds got heavier. Also was using too much nutes, will be switching to coco. Don’t think I used too much, soil just retained a lot of the nutes and water. Hoping coco will solve that issue for me.

Week 7 flower update I figured out what was going on with my plants. My tap water actually contains a lot of carbonates, which means there’s already plenty of calcium and magnesium in it. Because of that, I shouldn’t have been adding 0.5 ml of Plagron CalMag, since that product is really intended for soft water. The extra calcium started pushing the root zone pH locally up to around 6.5. That made nitrogen more available, but at the same time it partially locked out phosphorus. Because of that the flower development slowed down, while cell elongation increased before proper bud growth resumed. As soon as I realized what was happening, I started dropping the PPM pretty aggressively, step by step, and completely removed CalMag from the feed. While the plants were recovering from the salt stress, I also cleaned up the lower weak branches (about 10% max) to help redistribute energy to the stronger tops. Right now I’m focusing on stabilizing the root zone. Current numbers: Input: pH 5.5 / 575–600 ppm Runoff: pH 6.38 / 730–760 ppm Plants are slowly coming out of the stress. They’re drinking 3 times a day, about 15 liters total (7.5 L per plant). The flowers have started growing again, after being stalled for about 3–4 days. Because of the pH imbalance (too much nitrogen and calcium) the plants started stretching like crazy. The branches were growing so fast they were already hitting the lights and the top of the tent. My tent is 180 cm tall and the pots are about 30 cm, so I basically ran out of vertical space. I had to bend the branches almost 90 degrees, laying them over each other just to keep the canopy under control. Some of them are literally tucked under the carbon filter, and the rest are tied down with wire to keep them away from the lamps. Not the prettiest canopy right now, but it keeps everything below the lights and still getting good exposure.

Welcome back to Fat Yappa's ladies and gentlemen, its been another mad week in the garden. This week these girls have began to produce some serious quantities of bud sites, but the transition into flower has not been without its adversity to be conquered. Gone is the humidifier, and the battle with humidity has commenced. All of a sudden the three larger Banner ladies, together with their Wedding Cheesecake Fastbuds cousin in Coco Coir have levelled up from 2.5L per plant ever four days, to 2.5L every two days, which has increased the humidity substantially, and this week has mostly been a battle to get the RH down to 50% or below, which has meant the tent door has been open as much as situations have allowed for that, the grow tent heater has been turned off, and my central heating has been ramped back up to 21c in an endeavour to dry the air some what, and the room in which the grow tent is situated has seen the addition of an old but reasonable dehumidifier on loan from my parents. I have also had to put some further serious thought into air circulation, and the T6 has been ramped up to level 6 as a constant, the intake fan has been increased, and Ive lowered one of my 40w fans closer to canopy level. The other 40w fan is situated in the top back corner, opposite the carbon filter to try and prevent stale air from building up in there, and I did try and lower this one also, but the way I have it wired, the plug flex would only allow me to gain a couple of inches. Circulation has improved, but is still not ideal across the entire canopy and this has caused some anxiety in regard to humidity and mould etc. To counteract this, and now that bud sites are developing, gaining a clear vision of which fan leaves could be removed, there have been a few defoliation session this week. Nothing major, maybe a couple of handfuls off the the older Bruce Banners, yet compared to the Wedding Cheesecake in Coco, which stands at a whopping 28 inches, towering over everything else in the tent by almost a foot now, despite the LST, which is much less of a leafy specimen and has only lost a dying leaf or two. In terms of LST, I have continued to perform the technique two or three times a week on all the plants, yet have stopped on the four larger plants in the past few days as I fear their stems are becoming too rigid for it now, and to further add to this, there is literally no more space for them to go besides up. The Wedding Cheesecake in Coco is a concern, with it being so high above the rest of the canopy, but there is literally nowhere else to tie her down. I will continue on the smaller Wedding Cheesecake, growing in living soil, and the Bruce Banner runt for another week or so, which at the moment I would describe as being in pre flower, and seem to be about a week behind the other four, until I feel the same fears in regard to the technique damaging them. As hinted at above, space is becoming an issue, housing these six big autoflowers in a 4x4, and the five plants that were originally intended would have been more than adequate to fill the space, and things have become so tight in there that I have had to remove the intake fan and place it on the outside of the tent, but the increase in sound from this has left me dissatisfied with this as a permanent solution. The increase in intake and out take fans, and the edition of the noisy old dehumidifier has caused noise to become a slight issue, but I will be ordering a good, modern, efficient 20L dehumidifier tomorrow and hopefully this will aid significantly toward solving a number of this weeks issues. With most adequate timing, the click from the timer on the sf4000 signals lights out on another day in Fat Yappa's Garden, its time for me to zip these ladies up and tuck them in for the night, so I must bid you all farewell for another week, and wish that all is growing well for you too

12/16 - Today is Day 77 from seed. Mid-last week I switched her over to 60% strength (~1.2ec) and today I switched her over to flush with 10ml/gal GH FloraKleen. Upon checking multiple buds for trich ripeness and I found an average of approximately 10% amber across the whole canopy. Some of the larger, more mature buds were closer to 15-20% Amber while some varied as low as 3-5% Amber. I am choosing to go ahead and flush her out since I need the space in the tent sooner, rather than later. I am planning on a 48-72 hour flush then chop. This will definitely be my biggest yield to date, but her sister, the Amnesia XXL Auto might top her out yet, though she is still a couple weeks out. Thanks for checking out the garden. Stay tuned for updates this week as we approach chop day. As always, Happy Growing!

Day 29 - She's bushed out to the fullest. This is a controversial, but I think essential part of growing. Trust me, what i had removed would have been a waste. I gave all sites there chance to achieve my desired height. Those that didnt, got the chop. Day 30 - Now that is a recovery! I will now focus on maintaining an even canopy. I will only pull down part of the plant that stretch faster. Day 31 - Wettable sulfur and Cali Carb before bud production fully sets in. Wettable sulfur will help with some pest management, not that I have any, powdery mildew, also not an issue, and increases terpene production. Cal Carb is a perfect pair for this as its a readily available source of calcium and carbon dioxide. Calcium seems to be a common deficiency in flower, and the plant loves CO2 during flower. This seems like a no brainer! She also got a nice feeding with some top dresses and water soluble nutrients. Loving the evidental daily changes this plant can produce! Day 32 - Continuing to pull branches down and move leaves for some of these lower sites. Can't help but to have the song, 'Let It Grow', from the Lorax, run through my head everytime I try to move leaves to help these lower sites get light, lol. Day 33 - Opening up as much as I can and tried to keep it all above the net. Vigorous rapid growth in both the plant and cover crop. Day 34 - Showing what it looks like before I take each days pic with the leaves tucked already. Getting hard to keep these leaves down! There's a few lowers I'll likely be snipping to help focus energy to better sites. Day 35 - Let's just take a moment and enjoy these beautiful flowers this amazing Common Buckwheat cover crop is showing off. If you dont know what Common Buckwheat does when growing in your soil, it helps gather phosphorus, attract beneficials, and can be cut down to make compost. Is this even the same plant from the beginning of this week!? Can't wait to see these buds start to stack!

Hey Growers, end of week 6 from seed, end of week 1 of flower :) Plant #1 is looking healthy and has grown tremendously. I previously had them in a 24x24x48 grow tent but after seeing how much plant#1 was growing I went ahead and purchased a bigger tent 36x36x72. Light is about 17 inches away from the plants right now. Might have to do some LST so the top leaves don't receive too much light. P1 is filling up with pistils, looks like buds will soon begin to form :) I have not been able to figure out Plant#2 gender. It has different charateristics from plant#1. Earlier in the week I noticed P2 was not growing in height and the leaves were starting to look pale. Light is currently set to medium low 140 Lux X100. I reduced it to 100 Lux and after a few days it began growing again and its gaining back its color. P2 has given me minor problems since day 1 but its looking better now. Changed light cycle 12hrs / 12hrs I had issues trying to maintain humidity levels at 45%-55%, I might need to purchase a stronger dehumidifer cloned two plants and they are beginning to grow :) Its been an exciting experience so far, everyday learning something new about these plants. I sometimes stand and just stare at my grow tent analyzing little details about them trying make sure they are in healthy condition. My wife complains because I spend too much time with them lol. I know once these plants get more mature she will show more interest in them. I am learning as I go, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, stay tuned Week 7 coming up #HappyGrowing #FirstGrow #MysteryStrains 😊

6/29/2024 - Flower Week 12 Day 1- Water Change Day!!!! Should be the last week.. Can't wait... Will check the Trichomes tomorrow and see where we are at. I added 36 gallons and the accompanying Nutes I added 36 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: CalMag= 1.25Mil/Gal= 45Mil FloraMicro = 2.3Mil/Gal= 83Mil FloraGro= 1.3Mil/Gal= 47Mil FLoraBloom= 4.0Mil/Gal= 144Mil Liquid KoolBLoom= 2.5mil/Gal = 90Mil TPS SIgnal= 2mil/Gal = 72mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil EPSOM- 1 pinch 6/30/2024 - Flower Week 12 Day 2- Nothing to do but take some pics.... One more day take some pics of the Trichomes.. 7/1/2024 - Flower Week 12 Day 3- Still Nothing to do but take some pics and check the Trichomes.. she is almost there.. 7/2/2024 - Flower Week 12 Day 4- Still Nothing to do but take some pics, the buds are so heavy now the stems are falling down all over the place. 7/3/2024 - Flower Week 12 Day 5- Took some extensive Trichome pics today, I really had to see if she will be ready for cut on Saturday and I think she will be. Get brown tips for the most part throughout the bud a few spots more milky than i typically like but I think overall she is ready this weekend.. That will leave me 9 days to dry and weigh and get submitted for final pics.. Lots to do in the next 12 days. 7/4/2024 - Flower Week 12 Day 6- Happy 4th of July.. :-) Did nothing but take some pics today... :-) 1 more day and TIMBER!!! 7/5/2024- Harvest Day, harvested on Week 12 Day 7..... from the big plant... 2.2lbs wet into the cannatrol for dry 5.6 lbs into the tent to hang dry.. Since this is a competition going to wait to post the close out for weights and all that until after judging, See you all in a few weeks with the close out report..

Ya es el día 60 y el tono amarillo en las hojas anuncia que se aproxima el final. Espero todo siga su curso normal y poder terminar bien este cultivo que me ha gustado bastante.

Crop King guarantees 80% germination rate... All 5 beans popped. 💪 When I was initially buying all of my equipment, I had not a f*cking clue what I was doing or what I would need. 😂 Swapped out the plastic pots for Vivosun 3 gal fabric pots, bought the 5 gal to transplant but decided against it later since all 5 plants were healthy and growing fast and my space was limited... Also didn't fully grasp the mechanics and procedures of Drain-To-Waste Hydroponics at the time but I'll post the automated build I added at the appropriate week of veg... And it wasn't until a couple weeks ago that I started doing the proper research into lights, spectrums, PPFD, PAR, etc... but these two lights (the blurple came with the tent, the other was from a brand called iSmile on Amazon; 130w and 105w actual wattage) were plenty to make it through veg and into preflower before I upgraded to the Sunraise QB2000...
