These beans have been taking a beating and she still is pulling threw and starting her stretch now as she is heading into the second week of flowering .. I like the smell of this one right now and the structure is good very open just needs buds to start forming up. These were part of the grower of the month contest a while back very good quality genetics ...cheers

She’s still building I think and her trichomes are currently mostly white (~75%) with 25% clear and still 0% amber. When do you think I should start fading?

Fail. Diese 3 Apple fritter Auto haben 9 Tage nach Keimung einen Wetterwechsel nicht überstanden. Von 16°C und trockenem kühlen Wetter zu 28°C mit hoher Luftfeuchte innerhalb von 16h. Direkt über der Erde hat sich der Spross stark zusammengezogen, wie ausgetrocknet und ist umgefallen. Vermute irgend einen Pilz. Eine kleine hat noch gelebt, als ich das bemerkt habe. Habe um die Schwachstelle etwas Boden angehäuft, um sie zu stützen. Nach 2 Tagen hab ich nachgeschaut, der Stamm ist genau wie bei den anderen zusammengeschrumpft. Also schreib ich die ab. Hab heute 4 purple punch auto als Ersatz in den Topf gesetzt. Dieses Tagebuch endet hier leider 😑 danke fürs verfolgen ✌️. Hab wieder dazugelernt und die andern 28 und 4 neue sind ja noch da. 😉

April 11 2026 Not a crazy vertical grower in stretch, but these girls sure are flat! They seem to be slower flowering that the MW x GWK, but for maturity, bud-sites are forming well. The plants have shown lighter tops, and very minor yellowing on the newest set of fans, as well as a jump in water intake from last week of close to double. I have top-dressed Gaia Green 2-8-4 @ 4tbsp/ 3gal pot, watered in with 1.2L of plain dechlorinated tap water. Hopefully yellowing slows and halts within a week, if not, another EWC slurry may be in order. I'm trying to allow the plant to show me what it needs, instead of following a formula.

We had rain morning Day 1 and the previous night. Early morning Day 2, around 2-3 a.m., we had thunderstorms with strong winds and heavy rain. This was followed by sunshine that afternoon. Despite the 5% rain forecast for day 3, we had a thunderstorm. It produced heavy rain and strong winds. For about a hour in the morning Day 3 and that evening showers. Day 4 was all day sunshine with a lite breeze. That was excellent turn of weather to dry out the soaked soil. Day 5, 6, and 7 we had sunshine and a breeze. I added 2.5 ml of ferrous sulfate per gallon of soil on day 1. I added a second dose of 2.5ml ferrous sulfate per gallon of soil top dressed on day 5 for a total of 5ml/gallon of soil, top dressed for the week. I added 1.3 ml/gallon of soil(10ml) blood meal, top dressing on day 5. I watered on day 6 and 7. The ferrous sulfate really began to work on day 6. On day 7 they had a healthy even green color and are rdy for the stretch to begin flower. These plants surviving and thriving through the challenging spring weather and grower proves how resilient these fastbuds genetics are.

Day 79 17/09/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Seeing good developments, buds forming nicely, divines are smaller denser structures but the buds are not lacking! Damn I'm surprised by 2L pots. Day 81 19/09/24 Thursday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Day 83 21/09/24 Saturday Another feed to push this week they seem to be handling it 💚. Fattening up on the buds now and pistils starting to mature. Day 84 22/09/24 Sunday (End of week) Damn!! Noticed I have leaf rollers!!! Damn caterpillar, from moths. So I have removed affected leaves and areas and this AGAIN will affect yeilds on all plants...but I have determined the strains I will re run ! Let's hope we make it too the chop 😅💚

These plants are starting to come back nicely . Unfortunately due to me being extraordinary lazy this grow, not maintaining them properly & not on time & the watering issue they suffered they didn't meet their potential! Because of this they didn't go through much of a flowering stretch! Growers if you use the promo code GROWEED, you will receive a 15% discount on any Fast Buds purchase!

Cosmic Noodles Auto — Final Strain Review 14 Weeks From Seed To Harvest — 12/12 From Seed What a ride this one has been. Our Cosmic Noodles Auto officially comes to an end after 14 weeks from seed to harvest, grown fully under a 12/12 light cycle from day one, side by side with photoperiods and other autoflower genetics inside the 8x8 tent — no special treatment, no isolated environment, no extended light schedules. And honestly? She absolutely crushed expectations. This entire run was another reminder that autoflowers do not necessarily need 18/6 or 24/0 to produce beautiful flowers and respectable yields. With proper environment, stable feeding, patience, and healthy roots, they can still thrive and deliver excellent results even under a no-veg approach like this one. We started this project with three plants. One of them unfortunately became part of an overwatering experiment that eventually led to losing the plant around early-to-mid flower. While painful, it became an important educational moment. We documented the process honestly so growers could learn from it — what overwatering looks like, how roots respond, and what to avoid. If anyone is interested, those reports are still available further back in the diary. The remaining two plants, however, grew with very little resistance. Easygoing, vigorous, resilient, and surprisingly adaptable considering the mixed environment and unconventional schedule. And in the end? 372.1 grams dry from the two harvested plants. For autoflowers grown under 12/12 from seed, mixed together with photoperiods, we are genuinely very happy with these numbers. But beyond numbers, what truly stood out was the quality. ⸻ Drying Process After harvest, the plants were dried whole for approximately 10 days. The environment stayed around: * ~20°C * ~60% RH During the first couple of days, humidity was intentionally kept closer to ~45% to help remove the initial excess surface moisture from the flowers before stabilizing the drying curve more gently afterward. The slow dry helped preserve aroma, resin texture, and overall flower integrity beautifully. And the smell coming from the drying room… incredible. ⸻ Hand Trimming — Slow, Sticky & Worth It Once drying was complete, every flower was separated and hand-trimmed carefully using the Zamnesia scissors together with the Trim Bin setup. Hand trimming takes time. A lot of time. But it also allows a level of precision and care that machine trimming simply cannot replicate. Every bud gets individual attention. Resin heads stay more protected. Structure remains more natural. And honestly, it becomes part of the ritual itself. Our fingers were absolutely coated in resin by the end of it. Sticky gloves. Sticky scissors. Sticky everything. The Trim Bin itself collected a beautiful layer of golden dry sift during the process, and naturally, none of that went to waste. Everything was collected carefully and stored cold for future enjoyment. Even the smallest parts of the harvest deserve respect. ⸻ Curing — The Part Many People Rush After trimming, the flowers were placed into Grove Bags for curing. For larger harvests especially, these bags are honestly an amazing tool. The TerpLoc technology helps maintain the internal humidity in the ideal curing range of approximately 58–62%, reducing the need for constant burping while helping protect the flowers from excessive moisture swings. This matters because curing is not simply “storing weed.” Curing is the process where the flowers slowly stabilize and mature internally: * chlorophyll continues breaking down * harshness reduces * aromas become cleaner and deeper * terpenes settle and express themselves better * smoke quality improves significantly This is why we usually prefer allowing at least one month of curing minimum, while many flowers continue improving for two or even three months depending on the cultivar and storage conditions. Patience changes the experience dramatically. And Cosmic Noodles definitely rewarded patience. ⸻ Aroma & Smoke Even straight off the trim, the first smoke test was already extremely enjoyable. The dominant profile came through as: * citrus * floral notes * earthy depth * creamy herbal background As curing progressed, the profile did not change dramatically — it simply became more refined, cleaner, smoother, and more layered. The smoke itself leans toward the relaxing side. Comfortable, calming, peaceful. Not a “race your brain” type of cultivar, but more something to slow down with and enjoy properly. A dedicated smoke review will eventually come separately, but first impressions are honestly fantastic. ⸻ The Final Flowers The cured flowers developed beautifully over time. Dense but still natural. Resin-rich without looking artificially swollen. Strong aroma retention. Sticky interiors. Frosty surfaces. And some truly beautiful structure throughout the harvest. We are also sharing photos of the cured flowers after roughly one and a half months of curing so people can see how the flowers evolved after resting properly. Because sometimes the real magic happens after harvest. ⸻ Final Thoughts Cosmic Noodles Auto turned out to be: * easy to grow * adaptable * resilient * productive * aromatic * enjoyable from start to finish And most importantly: fun. No drama. No impossible feeding requirements. No extreme sensitivity. Just a solid cultivar capable of producing beautiful medicine even under unconventional conditions like 12/12 from seed. For us, this one easily earns: ⭐ 10/10 ⭐ ⸻ Thank You Huge thanks to everybody involved in this journey: * the breeders and genetics teams * the companies providing gear and support * the platforms that allow us to document these grows * the communities following along * the OG followers who have been here since the beginning * the new people just discovering the diary now * the supporters * the skeptics * the silent viewers * even the haters stopping by for five seconds Love is still sent your way. And of course… special thanks to Mr. Baggy for accompanying us through the cure once again. 🍃 Because in the end, this was never only about chasing numbers. It was about learning, documenting, improving, sharing experiences, and appreciating the process from seed to final smoke.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Day 77 I'm running out of vertical space for pinus contorta, this weekend i will open the box to move the leds higher and will try to do some decent photos. At this point i've added the Pinus purple matcha to the diary because she's huge and impossible to not notice, should be around 1,5m² almost 150cm tall. Had to do a very risky move and "soft crop" 2 apicals because of burn risk, too close to the leds. I wasn't expeting a freakin' tree like that! Day 79 Jeez plz stop growing in height!! After this shaky video i raised the leds 10 cm, now i'm for real out of space.. I'm adding 10 to 12 liters every day, alternating ro with only silica one day and the other with nutrients. Day 81 Way too much leaves in the lower part of the plants but i really don't want to stress them more than the temperature is already doing (29.3C measured in the upper canopy at 5 cm from the leds). Luckily i've got a lot of airflow, 3 filtered exhaust and 1 huge intake to remove almost the humidity. Despite it all they are pretty healty, no visible burning signs.

While I was very happy with the grow at harvest time, I am a bit disappointed with only 190 grams total dry weight from these two plants. The buds are nice, dense and packed with tricomes, the smoke is smooth and the high is clear.

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

* harvest: day 134 total. Day 64 of flower. 19 weeks total * dry bud yield: 128gram * Appearance: gorgeous blue/green/purple'ish buds that shine like a diamond * Bud density: 9/10 * Aroma : when you open the jar a gas smell mixed with orange bubbelgum hits you in the face * Taste : orange zest bubbelgum with a strong gas taste * Potency : 8/10 * Kind of high: a nice sativa dominant feeling. With a lot off medicinal effects. It takes your pain away asap and it relaxes the musscles. Also makes you feel happy. * Colour of thrichs at time of harvest: 30% amber 70% milky * Drying time: 10 days in the dry tent, 12 days in the jar * Length of buzz: 2 -3 hours * Good comments: the most beautifull plant i ever grew, really impressed with these genetics. Such a good pain killer and anti depressant! The buds where almost pure oil when i was trimming so i would really recommend it for pressing or hash making. Wil grow this again for sure, its by far the best thing i ever grew

Started LST on 3/6 of the plants. Having no issues at all so far👌 Gave her some nutes twice so far at a very low dose. Currently feeding once a week. Soil holds enough nutes as is already. Low dose Cal-Mag in every watering - missed week 2 so I just started week 3
