We’re officially in the final week for my Strawberry Gorilla Automatic from Fast Buds! 🌟 This beautiful girl has had a very quick flowering phase, but looking at the trichomes, they’re right where they need to be so no complaints! She will be flushed throughout this week and then harvested and hung up to dry next week. I’m super happy with how she’s developed!😋

im literally seeing them once a week. growth exploded since last week. started giving pk booster by hand watering. buds start to form. defoliated lots of fan leaves. first compost tee is being brewed.

Creció como un real elefante , grotesca . Sin ir más lejos unas de las autos con mejor rendimiento

This was an amazing experience for my first grow. Was super unsure of what I was going to yield, but I think 27 grams is a realistic harvest and Im looking forward to see if I can get bit larger of a yield on the next run. I want to try main-lining, see for better energy distribution and more equal bud growth. Also investment into a proper reflector and possibly enclosed space. Note- I trimmed my plant the night before harvest morning. I removed than fan leaves to start, and then proceeded to trim the plant. I pulled out a lot of the leaves with no frost by hand. The sugar leaves had so much crystal on it I thought I would leave the smaller ones on the bud. I gave it a light trim, and used all the trim to make Isopropyl Alcahol (99%) based extract. Got about 1 gram from the run. I also had a nice little ball of finger charas from the trimming. I harvested it in the morning at about 04:30 am before the light cycle triggered at 7am. She hung and dried for about a week, where I then chopped her into buds. She cured for 2 weeks before i started smoking. Ask anything you want to know! Or if I can be more clear on any areas of the grow! One Love!

Guys, I did it! I managed to get to the end of my grow with no problems and a whopping dry weight of 189 grams (6.6 oz). I am over the moon with the outcome, especially considering this was my first time. The buds have been curing for 12 days now, breaking down extra chlorophyll for a smoother smoke. The aromas are subtle when putting your nose in the jars—nothing crazy—but when you break into a bud, it smells absolutely amazing. It has an aroma almost like Stardog, with a diesel, piney, and gassy scent. As for the taste, the buds are just as impressive! They taste exactly how they smell: diesel, piney, and gassy, much like a Stardog. The effect is incredible; it numbed my whole body and put me in a couch lock state. This strain is probably not the best for daytime smoking due to its potent, body-numbing effect. I can't wait to continue this journey with my next grow!

Finishing off the first week of flowering and watching the buds grow :) All strains seem to be happy with with 1L water with 12ml nutes 25/75 veg/bloom each, every other day. Missed the defoliating deadline in veg mode but have done some very light defoliation this week, I should do more I know and will once flowering is a bit more established. A bit more LST, again on the careful side. The next grow will get the full treatment :) Of course things were going too well, a couple of hours ago while I was working on climate stabilization contra running costs (I got my first power bill since grow start) I noticed 100's of very small ants all carrying eggs exiting the base of my Gorilla Glue's airpot. I had been trying to work out why she in general seemed a bit laggy. Now I might have the reason, grabbed the Neem as 1st defense and gave what I could see a good spray. For those that I couldn't see and were probably munching on the root system and tunneling through the medium I added 4 tablespoons of fresh coffee grounds and 6ml of Wood Vinegar (pyroligneous acid) to 1L water and gave the Glue a soaking. This all happened just before lights out so now hopefully by lights on the ants will be gone and the Glue will start to perk up. Yesterday I flipped the switches on the LEDS to include deep and IR light to the spectrum. All in all a good week I think, any tips and advice always welcome :) *Update Gorilla Glue is looking much better 12h after the treatment for the ant infestation. Coffee grounds and wood vinegar, natural, safe, effective and cheap as well. I have Cinnamon as well now, so I'm well prepared for any future ant invasions :)

Day 64 (First Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! We’re on day 64, and the flowering phase is in full swing. The buds are forming beautifully, and the plants have grown 5-10 cm above the SCROG net, creating a lush canopy. The humidity is steady at around 50% or lower, which is ideal for this stage. To recap, we've been maintaining an even canopy with the SCROG net and our Timor shield mantis continues to keep pests at bay naturally. Our plants are thriving, thanks to the even light distribution and careful humidity control. We're considering installing a second fan in a few weeks to improve airflow and potentially adding a second SCROG net to support the plants as they continue to stretch during flowering. This should help stabilize the plants and ensure they get the support they need as the buds get heavier. Any tips or advice for the next steps? Let us know in the comments!

Well the Greenhouse Seeds SSH beans were all bunk so I'm going with the backup Coastal Genetics SSH which on the first bean popped right out. First run in the new BlumenBot Solo! So stoked for this cabinet to get rolling. Https://instagram.com/blumenbot https://youtu.be/_0QgBk3B5sA 3/17 - into the dirt (coco) it goes 3/19 - crazy how fast this grew 2" overnight

1 of the glookies had fallen off, lack of ventilation I think. She feels better since I moved the fan and the air circulates better. First fertilizer intake for my babies this week 🤗

Just been chopped toon al the lower branches off and put them away separate but will update on the total yield

She's looking thin, not much foliage but the flowers are there, looks a bit like the first time I grew blueberry cheese auto.

BIG BIG apologies to Heather from fast buds & to Growdiaries & anyone who follows. The past few months have been a massive struggle, not just with temperatures & growing weed but on a personal level. My wife has been very poorly & with covid and everything going on, it's put a massive strain on us all!! I've tries to maintain an active presence on Instagram but that's about all I've physically had time for. I've put this update together today, so far into the grow now it almost seems pointless. I lost my original Mimosa due to high temps & high RH. Moving into the attic at that time of year was a mistake. It has cost me a small fortune to keep things alive. I've had to purchase an air con unit, more fans & just more of everything to be honest. My purple punch is almost ready to harvest, any time within the next couple of days, followed shortly by Bruce Banner & Kosher cake. I wont be winning any awards for this Diary & I feel bad as I was supposed to be show casing what 420 Fast buds has to offer & I've failed...miserably. I hope you can make sense of all the pictures I've included....just a mass photo frenzy over the past few weeks. Thanks to everyone & all your comments. Wishing you all the best. One Love ❤️

She’s the queen of the tent right now , showing mad growth and nice spacing between nodes . She’s gonna be an Amazon. Keeping up her feeds and humidity still running a heat mat to get those roots strong for what is to come

Dropped her in water last night. Hopefully we will put her in the coco tonight or tomorrow morning. This is my favorite strain so far. Insanely tasty and strong!! May need to designate a tent to just grow Lemon Cherry Cookies ❤️

Stretch Season Approaching? 🌇 | RHC Enters Preflower Elegantly A fresh update from the balcony garden! My Red Hot Cookies photoperiod has officially entered preflower—a beautiful turning point in the season and a clear sign she’s gearing up for the stretch ahead. 🌀🌿 After some intense vegetative growth, she’s responded well to topping and training, with her canopy now standing tall and open, ready for the sun to do its magic. Her stature is becoming more impressive by the day, and the signs of preflower are clearly visible in the latest close-ups and video. 📸✨ Even nature’s allies came to inspect this week—a little ladybug made an appearance during filming and decided to hang out for a bit. 🍀🐞 Always a good omen in the garden! This Week’s Care Routine: 🔸 BioBizz Grow – 4 ml/l for steady veg support 🔸 CalMag – 0.5 ml/l to keep her strong and balanced 🔸 Dechlorinated Tap Water – always rested for 24h before use 🔸 Homebrewed Compost Tea – full of life and microbe support 🔸 Effective Microorganisms – boosting soil vitality 🔸 pH: 6.4 🔸 EC: 1800 µS She’s in a strong spot—tall, healthy, vibrant, and showing no signs of slowing down. I’m genuinely excited to see how she stretches from here and how the first buds begin to develop under the late summer sun. The season is still full of promise, and I’ll keep sharing the journey. 🌞🌱 Stay tuned—there’s still so much more to come!

It's been cloudy for days but no rain right go figure ..have to try and keep those 2 cannabis off grid.. Experiment keep moving it for sun.. Then neighbor informer lol.. Im playing spy behind enemy lines ( right next door )..lol lol. Dam snitch..why other people has to watch other people is my guess

Flowering described earlier than I expected, more than 1 week after the vegetation phase would be bigger and more beautiful, has an effect with pleasant sensations and euphoric as the sativa dominant is accustomed to the aroma of lemon and citrus.

11/13 Started Super Cropping on Amy, Gina, and Rosa, Judy is just at her 4th node, so i reached the second node and twisted the stalk until I could feel the fiber break and then I bent the stalk in the direction that I will ultimately tie down in, not long enough yet to get to the edge of the pot. In an hour I checked on the girls and they were all back to normal. 11/14 Watered 500 mil 6.5 PH tied down Amy, Gina and Rosa, broke a leaf off of Amy while bending 11/15 Spritz with Yucca foliar spray reapplied LST girls are looking great really healthy and green 11/16 Reapplied LST and accidentally broke the main stem on Gina, decided to go ahead and top her since the break was at a node and impossible to tape, so I guess we are also testing topping as well as going Organic. Adjusted lights to 25 inches above Judy the shortest girl. Brewed up an Organic Tea using 1 Cup Nature's Living Soil Concentrate, 1 Cup EB Stone Earth Worm Casings, 1 Tablespoon Unsulphered Molasses, 1 Tablespoon Fish Meal with Kelp, let the tea brew for 18 hours. 11/17 Fed each girl 1 Liter of Compost Tea reapplied LST the thought is the plants are three weeks in the soil and are growing at a healthy pace (with the exception of Judy), I want to make sure they have enough food in the soil available to them now to take them to flower. Next week I will apply dry amendments and 2-8-8 fertilizer to be available that first week of flower. 11/18 Out of town so gave them a light spritz of Yucca before lights on and that's it. 11/19 Man one day without reapplying LST and it freaking shows!! I had to go to town and really work the stems back into shape, really started to figure out what I am actually trying to achieve with spreading the stems out to expose as many sites as possible and trying to get as even a canopy as possible. So at the end of it I had to Super Crop a few stems on Rosa that had grown a little too long, tied down the rest of her stems and tucked the large leaves as best as I could to get as many sites as possible exposed. Applied the same approach to Gina but since she was inadvertently topped little easier to do, also I can see since I fed them the Compost Tea Gina has bounced back from her chop and her leaves are upright and pointing to the light, the two new "main stems" are growing outward and are close to the Mesa that i am creating. Judy is the weird little runt with tight, tight nodes like she's hiding something.....Trudy Judy.....So I just bent her main down and moved the stems as best as I can, I would love to let her just do her thing but I also wanted to try ScrOG on this run but we'll see after next week. Amy, Amy, Amy my pouty princess I don't think she likes being shorter than Rosa because she's become almost shy, not as aggressive growth that she was showing before. Reapplied LST on her main and tucked leaves, also started defoliating some of the lower leaves off of her. I'm going to start plucking lower leaves off of all of the plants going forward to prepare them for the switch to flower. The girls are all showing their sex and I can safely say that they are all Ladies, I'm seeing pistils forming and sites starting to show. I soaked the ladies down with 1/4 tsp Nectar of the Gods Bloom Khaos and 16 oz PH 6.2 bottle. Checked back on them 3 hours later and all of their faces are pointing to the lights, the leaves look amazingly green with no noticeable deficiencies. The Ladybugs are going to town and I don't know what I'm more excited about the amazing growth of the girls or seeing a ladybug crawling on a leaf!
