Germination 27 September 2023 Heya 🤙👍🤙🌱🌱🌱 Winter has come and gone. The sun is out after a heavy stormy weekend it's finally time to start Germination. I have been extremely lucky, privilege and blessed to be here right now in my life. Start of a new season have been itching deep in my bones since a week after my first harvest. Let's see what the hype on Fastbuds420 delivers. In the heart of a humble garden, a miraculous journey is about to unfold. Beneath the soil's dark, nurturing embrace, a seed lies dormant, awaiting the precise moment to burst forth into life. It is a marvel of nature, a tiny capsule of potential, encoded with the blueprints of the plant it aspires to become. As the heavens open, raindrops penetrate the earth, quenching the thirst of the soil and signaling to the seed that its time has come. The seed absorbs this life-giving moisture, swelling as it takes in water. It's as if the seed is awakening from a long slumber, stretching its embryonic limbs for the very first time. Within this subterranean realm, the seed's outer coat softens, and a tiny rootlet begins to emerge. This is the radicle, the seed's first root, and it instinctively knows to journey downward, anchoring itself into the soil. It is the plant's lifeline, seeking out water and nutrients essential for growth. Simultaneously, a delicate shoot, known as the plumule, makes its way upwards, drawn by an invisible force towards the sky. It is a daring expedition, fraught with obstacles, as it navigates through the soil. Yet, guided by an innate sense of direction, it perseveres. Finally, breaking through the soil's surface, the shoot unfurls its first leaves, miniature versions of what they will one day become. These are the cotyledons, a pair of leaves that have been stored within the seed, packed with nutrients to sustain the young plant in its earliest days. As the sun's rays touch these fledgling leaves, photosynthesis begins. It's a momentous occasion, the plant's first breath, as it converts sunlight into energy. The seedling, still fragile yet full of promise, has successfully embarked on the first chapter of its life. From here, it will face countless challenges and opportunities, but for now, it stands as a testament to the remarkable resilience and complexity of nature. Thanks for reading!!🤙👍🤙🌱

Hello my friend, Plant is ending, I've checked a bit in late the trychromes, as we can see on the movie plant is almost ready to harvest, But I'm just flushing few days, I'm in late, so I'll check trychromes all the days, and I'll try to wait one week to harvest, I like harvest when 75/25 milky/amber. Next week, will be the harvest 😃😃. See you next week for the result, Have a good week

Easy chop hanging with all leaf. Will be back in 10 days or so

Week 5 purple showing , 2 slight differences in the structures on each plant . Had both these phenotypes before

The weeks have been progressing smoothly. They all continue to fatten and get more dense. My feed schedule oddly has switched from every 3 days giving them 3 liters each, to now every 4 days, I give them liters each. 3 liters seems to be the sweet spot for these 10 gallon pots with this particular strain.

2-3Wochen noch, die gute mockt extrem und schwillt weiter an und reift aus, die unteren buds schwellen auch langsam Die trichome wuchern!!!

🌱 Blütetag 38 | Tag 98 gesamt Klima – VPD Achterbahn Wieder eine unruhige Woche draußen. Mildes Regenwetter mit hoher Luftfeuchte → dann wieder kalt → dann wieder milder. Typisches Hin und Her. Die Pflanzen müssen ständig Transpiration und Nährstofffluss nachjustieren. Konstantere Bedingungen würden es ihnen leichter machen – aber sie arbeiten sich so durch. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus White Gushers 33 Diese Woche zeigt sie etwas mehr Sensibilität. An exponierten Trieben sind Klimaspuren sichtbar – kleine Nekrosen und leichte Transportanzeichen. Nichts Kritisches, aber erkennbar, dass sie die Schwankungen spürt. Trotzdem baut sie weiter auf. Blüten stapeln sich, die Harzproduktion nimmt zu und das fruchtige Aroma wird von Tag zu Tag intensiver. Triangle Sherbet Kush Deutlich die ruhigere im Zelt. Sie geht gelassener mit den Schwankungen um und wirkt insgesamt stabiler. Auch hier kleine Spuren, aber weniger ausgeprägt. Die Blütenstruktur wird kompakter, das Stacking läuft sauber, und aromatisch wird sie zunehmend runder. 🌸 Blütenentwicklung & Aroma Beide Strains legen gut zu. Mehr Dichte. Mehr Harz. Mehr Charakter. Beim Öffnen des Zeltes kommt inzwischen direkt ein wahrnehmbarer, fruchtiger Duft entgegen. Wir sind klar in der Mitte der Blüte angekommen. 💧 Nährstoffe Konstant gehalten: CalMag: 1,5 ml/L Bloom: 1 ml/L Einfach, stabil, ohne größere Änderungen. 🐞 IPM / Biologischer Pflanzenschutz Das biologische Team arbeitet weiter: Florfliegenlarven Raubmilben Gelbtafeln zur Kontrolle Ein leichter Rückgang der Trips ist erkennbar, aber sie bleiben hartnäckig. Kein akuter Druck – eher ein laufender Prozess. 🔎 Ausblick Insgesamt bin ich zufrieden mit dem Stand. Das Klima dürfte ruhiger sein, aber Blütenentwicklung und Aroma gehen klar in die richtige Richtung. In der kommenden Woche plane ich eine leichte, gezielte Entlaubung (etwa 2-3 Wochen nach dem ersten Durchgang), um Licht und Luft für die letzten Wochen optimal zu führen. Ich rechne mit etwa vier weiteren Wochen bis zur sauberen Ausreifung. Toll, dass hier viele mitlesen, Input geben und Erfahrungen teilen – genau das macht so einen Run spannend. Achterbahn-Woche. Blüten bauen trotzdem. Danke fürs Mitfahren. — Rocko 🌿🔥💚 🌱 Flower Day 38 | Day 98 Overall Climate – VPD Rollercoaster Another unstable week outside. Mild rain with high humidity → then cold → then mild again. Classic back-and-forth weather. The plants constantly have to readjust transpiration and internal nutrient flow. More stable conditions would definitely make things easier for them — but they’re pushing through. 🌿 Plant Status White Gushers 33 She shows a bit more sensitivity this week. On exposed tops, climate marks are visible — small necrotic spots and light transport signs. Nothing critical, but clearly showing she feels the swings. Still, she keeps building. Bud stacking continues, resin production is increasing, and the fruity aroma grows stronger day by day. Triangle Sherbet Kush Clearly the calmer one in the tent. She handles the fluctuations more gracefully and appears more stable overall. Minor signs here as well, but less pronounced. Bud structure is tightening up nicely, stacking remains solid, and the aroma is becoming rounder and richer. 🌸 Bud Development & Aroma Both strains are progressing well. More density. More resin. More character. Opening the tent now immediately releases a noticeable fruity scent. We’re clearly in mid-flower mode. 💧 Feeding Kept consistent: CalMag: 1.5 ml/L Bloom: 1 ml/L Simple, stable, no major adjustments. 🐞 IPM / Biological Control The biological crew is still at work: Lacewing larvae Predatory mites Sticky traps for monitoring A slight reduction in thrips is noticeable, but they remain persistent. No major pressure — just an ongoing balancing process. 🔎 Outlook Overall, I’m happy with where we stand. The climate could be smoother, but bud development and aroma are clearly moving in the right direction. Next week I’m planning a light, selective defoliation (about 2-3 weeks after the first round) to optimize airflow and light penetration for the final weeks. I’m expecting around four more weeks until proper maturation. Great to see so many people following along, sharing input and experience — that’s what makes a run like this even better. Rollercoaster week. Buds keep building. Thanks for riding along. — Rocko 🌿🔥💚

Hi liebe Community and Welcome back! 💚 Jetzt kommen wir allmählich Richtung finaler Blütewoche. Es lässt sich beobachten, dass die Blütenbildung im mittleren Bereich der Colas stark ausgebreitet hat und die Pflanze Richtung Spitze eher etwas dünner wird. Sie bildet die Blüten sehr vielseitig aus, von dünner kompakt bis hin zur breiten dichteren stellen. Bei diesem Genotypen, ist das Wuchsverhalten eher etwas Indica dominiert, da sie nicht so sehr in den Stretch ging. Ihr Geruch wirkt jedoch inzwischen immer intensiver in Richtung Grapefruit (GMO). Wie beschrieben kommt dieses Aroma stark aus dem GMO Phenoltypen. Allerdings drückt bei ihr auch eine etwas süße und mehr fruchtige Note durch. Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind aktuell wieder super! ——————— 🌞 Temp: 22°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 53% VPD: 0,91 kPa 😎PPFD: 830 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

Glad both sprouted and they look good Using nutrient rich soil

9.2.25: The plants had a good watering, they're all still drinking a lot. Which is great, as that means growth, which, at this stage, we desperately need! I went ahead and gave all the plants a thorough watering each with: 2ltrs of dechlorinated water, PH'd to 6.5 with:- ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 4ml Seaweed extract liquid I don't know how this scrog net is going to work out. I think the squares are too big. It's elasticated, which I like. However, I'm extremely cautious with watering and moving the net. It's only a matter of time before I break more branches. It's such a hassle with it in there, honestly. I can't get in the tent properly to even check the weight of pots, as it's all weaved through, and again, I will snap branches. I did have a free net with the tent, which I think was smaller squares. I think I will use some other training next run. It's really not my kind of setup. I'm too interested in moving things and inspecting the plants constantly. The net is driving me up the wall. 😣 I'm considering removing it and trying something else, but it's also a bit too late for oldest plants.9.2.25: Gave the plants another good soak. I used 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. It contained the following nutrients; ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 4ml Seaweed extract liquid ♡ 0.5g of Ecothrive Biosys. The plants are undergoing explosive growth at this stage, which I'm thrilled by! Purple Lemonade is turning purplish hues. Pink Mist has so many bud sites and is looking very healthy. Do-sì-dos is growing vigorously and looking promising, especially considering all my unfortunate mishaps! 😅 Watermelon also has considerable growth. However, my training has made a mess out of the structure. Which I consider another valuable take away. Bubble

hello some news on vegetation day 22, start the bio grow, and bend the four Lateral head, and crap when i bend a stem has cracked but she is not cut I straighten them with a piece of iron she can go back. 😀👍

I’m back!! And sorry I’m using my videos I posted on YouTube..😞😞 I will make sure not to in my posts to come!! Popped seeds Jun 27 Temps inside some at 80 degrees F Humidity is at 75-80% 8 seeds planted and all 8 made it!

Week six and everything is doing alright im excited as always to see what the plants will do. Autoflower seeds are pretty awesome this is really my test run and the next grow im gunna do a few more plants and a couple different strains.

Week5 March 1st day 30 I transplanted one( the one with no broken branch) inti the 7gal today watered and did some LST I really hope it adapts to its new home I’ve never transplanted before I used extreme garden MYCOS hope it works also moved the light up a bit and plan on going 100% once I transplant the other one March 2nd transplanted the other one (broken branch one) my shop didn’t have 3.0😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 so i used DNC Great Lakes water only soil hopefully this works and I mixed some 3.0 I had left from the other pot cross fingers for nice transition to its new home March 5 been three days since transplant can’t really tell if they adapted to there new homes yet some sings of stretching since transplant I’ve never transplanted before and I’m not sure if they need water or not so imma chill let them go for couple more days then I’ll water scared to over water them right now since I transplanted them don’t want to over stress them other one in 3.0 seems little droopy to me compared to the one in Great Lakes but Great Lakes soil seems bit dry sooooo idk I’m going keep an eye on them

Heat stress outside temperature getting to high

Well, here we are. 12 weeks of training, topping and pruning, she is filling the net and and in good shape for flowering. I will be making the switch to 12/12 today, so this was the last week of veg for this girl. Since going into the larger tent, she has had much better light, and she has responded with lots of new growth. She has been screaming for more nutes. Currently feeding Megacrop at 6g a gallon. I use R.O. water, and total EC of the Megacrop along with Cal Mag is 2.0, which is quite high (I think it is anyway, I've only grown autos before), but the solution in the Autopot trays is still reading 0.3 EC lower than the res, and there is not a trace of burn on her. I really have no idea how far I can push a plant of this size, so I'll let someone else tell me if this is too high. I estimate that by the time I've added Bud Explosion into the mix, the max EC at peak is going to be somewhere around 2.2-2.3, at which point I will be starting to lower N levels and will be dropping from there on. I'd love to hear input from anyone who has some experience with plants that have had longer veg times as to whether these levels are considered 'OK'. She certainly seems happy enough and is thriving for now, and I've been letting her guide the nute levels from the color of the leaves rather than sticking to a feeding calculator. I'm estimating a flowering period of 10-12 weeks, which goes well into UK summertime, which means it going to be super hot in the daytime, so I'll be doing the lights off period during the day, and lights on overnight when it's cooler and I can max out the Kingbrite without overheating the tent. Also, having only grown autos before, I've never had to worry about light intrusion as I just keep them 24/0. I never appreciated how much of the shit in the tent has little bloody lights on it. Had to go round taping up LED's on a few things to make it completely dark. I've also put the monitoring cam on the same timer as the lights, as it has an infrared sensor, so the power to the cam is cut at lights out. I've kept a fairly detailed feeding summary on a spreadsheet. As this grow seems to be going fairly well (so far) I may go back and update previous weeks with a bit more detail in case anyone is interested. tl;dr Flipping to 12/12 this week, growth good, girl hungry, Bud Explosion gonna be added to the mix this week, starting around 0.5g a gallon. Happy days :)
