Hi folks, I'm coming here to start the process of ending this grow journal. I harvested about three months ago and the weed is definitely cured. Photos are about to come — I'm doing a real studio photo shoot for those buds, they deserve it! While waiting for the shots, I made some pretty damn dank hash temple balls using the iced water extraction method (solvent-free) with my little washing machine. It's a mix of the 8 strains I grew here — never ideal to mix different kinds of resin... but man, this is some serious dedicated work, so I'm making myself happy with that 14g shiny temple ball in the end 😉 Here are a few details about my process for you guys (and don't forget — you can do it with fresh material! Fresh frozen is always tastier. Also, the drying process is much more efficient and faster with a freeze dryer, but... you need the budget for that. I don't, so I go with the air drying method — check it out below): 1. Get your dry trim, then cure it properly for at least a month (I did 3 months). Smell it — mmh, sweet, dried to perfection. ✅ 2. Freeze it, delicately wrapped in a freezer bag. 3. Let a large amount of tap water sit for at least 24h to remove chemicals like chlorine, then use it to make plenty of ice cubes — don't be shy, especially if you're not working in a cool environment. 4. Prep your washing machine: add trim between two layers of ice, fill up with clean water (as much as you can, large vortex is better than a smaller one), then make it seat for 30 min (45 min for thicker buds) the time that the dried green material gets wet again. 5. Prep your filtering tools: catch bag, different mesh bags, spoon, etc. 6. Wash as many times as you can before green contaminants appear, as these lower the quality of your hash — don't hesitate to go up to 8 to 12 washes if the resin still looks clean! Important: each wash has its own specific duration, and they get progressively longer as you advance through the process. Frenchy Cannoli (a true hash legend) provides a detailed timetable for this — from as little as 30 seconds to 1 minute for the first wash, all the way up to around 25 minutes by wash 8. Make sure to follow that schedule rather than using the same duration for every run or running it too long the first wash !! It could breaks to quickly your precious material before you collect all the trich's and the quality would be lower in the end. 7. Collect the wet resin in the mesh bags with a frozen metal spoon, make patties with the resin, and let them sit over some towels in order to drain as much water as possible (place a tissue made for hash collecting over the towel). 8. When the patties are a little dry to the touch, wrap them as they are in the tissue and place them in the freezer for 48h or more. 9. With an iron strainer, microplane your patties over the biggest flat surface you can get! It's important that your micro pieces of hash dry widely and don't get too compacted. Any failure in the air drying process will nucleate rot, ruining your hash in the end and making it a poor product — eventually something to throw away. Sad when you think about all the phases of the process to get to this point! 10. So, in order to air dry properly, you must — it's not optional — lower the RH of your dry room to 35% or slightly below, never above and let it dry as long as needed until the material feels like dry sand. For myself, I found 10 to 15 days is ideal. The room must be very lightly ventilated (not directly on your resin!) and in complete darkness — the goal is to preserve all those delicious terpenes! Ideally, temps around 60°F or 16°C 11. Now that it's dry, collect your resin with a large thin spatula! Make a little mound between two layers of PaperHash, boil some water, and fill up a wine bottle with it! ⚠️ From this point on, to avoid exposing your carefully dried resin to a more humid environment — which could ruin all your hard work — everything must happen in the same drying room. Keep working at 35% RH until your temple ball is tightly and airtight wrapped in PaperHash. (And don't forget to drink water — it's dry in there! 💧) 12. Start to slowly press your resin. Magical moment. Finally.... 13. Press 3 times for 10 to 15 minutes in order to really decarb your hash — because that's what it's all about! Between each press, try as best you can to shape a patty... until the final press, when you'll be able to form that magical shiny temple ball (it only shines with gloves on, guys 😄) 14. You are now allowed to try it — for quality control purposes only, of course! 15. Because you want to age your hash for the sweetest 5-star smoking experience: wrap your temple ball in a large piece of PaperHash — if you can get that brand it's ideal, or another kind (check https://thepressclub.co) as long as it's organic! 16. Place the wrapped temple ball in a glass jar and store it in a dark, cool place. 17. Wait a minimum of 3 months before opening it. 18. Open, smell, touch — you'll be amazed. Roll it up with some weed or tobacco or both (I do both) / Or get a Hooka... you are smoking some true primo aged hash made by yourself! Taste the difference and realize all the path from choosing the seeds online until this first amazing puff ... 🙏 I want to credit my inspiration for making this kind of hash to the great Frenchy Cannoli, who has shared all his knowledge through amazingly rich tutorial content that you can find online with a bit of searching. 😉 Peace Frenchy 🕊️☮️

10.08.2026 Almost there Hi Growmies, welcome back to week 9 of my Fast Buds Auto Grow. This grow is clearly heading towards the finish line. Weather and Conditions I’ve never had a grow where the weather has been this consistently hot. I actually think it’s been a little too hot, as days with 35°C or more seem to slow the growth down. Even in my tomato greenhouse, most of the plants are showing some heat damage, so a few degrees less wouldn’t hurt. But with the finish line getting closer, I’ll take dry and hot weather over rain any day. Maybe these conditions will even help me avoid any nasty mold problems during the final weeks. Growth All three ladies are slowly bulking up, although the progress isn't particularly dramatic anymore. The buds are getting really rock hard, while the smell seems to have reduced a little compared to the last couple of weeks. I guess the girls are now putting most of their remaining energy into finishing and ripening. Papaya Cookies She is just beautiful. The combination of purple buds and orange pistils is pure eye candy. She has become a real beauty and I absolutely love looking at her. I guess she'll be ready for harvest next week. Tangie She's the biggest girl in the garden. I expected her to take the longest because of her Sativa genetics, but this particular pheno seems to be a pretty fast one. The smell is still classic Tangie — that fresh orange aroma I already loved earlier in the grow. Apricot Apricot will definitely be the smallest yielder of the three. Towards the end, most of her bud sites have started to foxtail. I assume this is a reaction to the extreme heat, especially since she has absolutely no sunshade. But when it comes to smell and trichome production, she is absolutely crazy. She's still incredibly frosty and smells amazing. I think I'll cut her down next week as well. Feeding As I already teased last week, I've now switched completely to T.A. FinalPart for the final stage. The idea is to help the plants finish while using up the remaining nitrogen stored in their leaves. And you can definitely see that happening now — the fan leaves are fading rapidly. Pests Still nothing to complain about. The aphids and ants are still completely focused on the cucumbers, so I'll happily let them stay there. The grow gods are still on my side this year. Final Thoughts I checked the girls with my microscope and was surprised to already see around 10–20% amber trichomes. Papaya Cookies and Apricot could probably be ready next week. Tangie might need another week, but I'll make that decision when the time comes. For now, I'm just enjoying the final days of this grow. Alright my friends, that's it for this week. Catch ya next week! Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Week 13 from seed. Around week 8 flower in our 12/12 galaxy. 🙂 And now… everything is changing. The room feels different this week. The colors are shifting everywhere. Leaves are fading naturally across the canopy, hairs are turning deeper orange and copper tones, trichomes are getting thicker and cloudier by the day, and the plants are entering that final stage where the grower does less, observes more, and lets time do its work. The “almost no nutrients” strategy is still rolling beautifully. At this point we are basically running enzymes and patience. No heavy feeding. No panic corrections. Just letting the plants finish the way they want to finish. Less became more in this run. From the beginning, the goal was simple: minimal stress, minimal interference, and let the plants grow naturally into the lights under 12/12 from seed. No endless training sessions. No constant manipulation. Just a little leaf tucking here and there, careful observation, and letting the room guide itself. And honestly… these Skywalkers rewarded that trust. Heavy fruits everywhere. Dense flowers from top to bottom. Plants leaning under their own weight and asking for support from the yo-yos. Colors stacking on the pistils. Resin thickening every single day. One thing I’m especially happy with is the lower canopy development. The under-canopy lighting keeps helping the plants mature evenly from top to bottom, and the difference is very noticeable now. What could have become airy popcorn buds simply never had the chance. The lower flowers are dense, developed, and fully part of the harvest. What used to be “sea buds” became real flowers… or disappeared completely during cleanup. We also continue using the far-red strategy: 15 minutes after lights-off, while slowly increasing reds during lights-on as well. The idea is to help simulate the end of the season and encourage those natural finishing responses from the plants. Maybe terpene expression, maybe flavonoid response, maybe simply stress-signaling and seasonal behavior… but whatever is happening, the room is speaking loudly right now. And the yellowing leaves? At this stage, that’s not something scary here. That’s the plant redistributing energy, consuming reserves, and moving toward the end of its cycle. After 13 weeks together, this is part of the story. Now is not the time to rush. There’s no point harvesting early after all this patience. We’ve already come this far together. At this stage, the grow is less about “doing” and more about understanding when to simply wait. Calmly. Observing. Checking. Smelling. Watching the trichomes. Letting the plants tell us when they are truly ready. Next week? Expect more fading. More swollen flowers. More support needed. More aroma. More late-flower personality. But don’t expect panic harvesting just because the finish line is visible. We wait for the moment that feels right. Huge thanks to everyone stopping by this diary: the OG followers, the silent lurkers, the new growers, the skeptics, the supporters, the lovers, the haters, the community, the platform, the breeders, the sponsors, and everybody spending even five minutes here with us.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

Removed the second net. It wasn’t really serving any purpose. I got it on too late I think the plant was already done stretching the most part.

Como es un cultivo s.o.g hice el transplante rápidamente el día 12, para dejar crear raices ya que se pasará a floración tempranamente por el día 20 a 25 de vegetación, se transplanto de 1 a 5 lts. El día 14 se hará 1° riego con fertilizante y el día 15 ya se hará riego foliar con estimulador de floración delta 9 para próximamente pasar a floración ✌️🍀💚

Week 15 - 06/21 - 06/27 Light - 200 W HPS & 265 W LED Day Temperature - 78 F Night Temperature - 68 F Humidity - 40 +/-5 D50 Flower - Fed the ladies and raised the HPS and LED lights up and turned the HPS down to 200 W, I am trying to emulate fall by lowering the amount of light. D53 Flower - Fed the ladies again, I think this may have been the last feeding of nutrients. The next watering I will hopefully start flushing. D55 Flower - Noticed some of the leaves are starting to fade and turn yellow. Hopefully, that means they are getting close to harvest, I should be cutting them down next week. D56 Flower - Was on a trip and had to water the ladies with a timer and pump, thankfully everything worked fine. Started flushing with FloraKleen.

This was an incredible cultivar! She put in fat Buds in a timely manner and ripened pink and teal buds. The aroma is no compromise either. She has floral citrus top notes and skunky back tones. Out of the 4 testers I did this round this one seems to be the one for yields as well. It's a win win with this strain. Great creation from Fast Buds

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

Einen schönen Sonntag mal wieder & frohes Neues 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Es läuft alles in allem weiterhin stabil =) Ich tracke und erhalte nach wie vor die Nährstofflösung. Mir ist lediglich ein kleiner Interpretationsfehler unterlaufen… Notorious hat erste Anzeichen von Salzstress durch einen konstant zu hohen EC gezeigt. Kein starkes Schadbild und ziemlich sicher nichts, was den Run oder ihre Entwicklung gefährden würde zum Glück =D Trotzdem hat es mich zu dem Zeitpunkt ehrlich gesagt ziemlich abgefuckt 😅 Ich hätte hier deutlich intensiver hinschauen sollen. Da sie von ihrer Blattstruktur her generell eher hart bzw. rau ist, ist mir der Fehler erst relativ spät aufgefallen, jetzt zeigt sie bereits leichte lokale Verbrennungen. Sonst sind keine klassischen Mängelbilder vorhanden, keine Root-Probleme und keine pH-Ausreißer. Die anderen Ladies performen im selben Reservoir völlig unauffällig 😊 Ich gehe davon aus, hier einen EC-empfindlichen Phäno erwischt zu haben. Natürlich habe ich mich direkt nach dem ausgiebigen Ärgern daran gemacht, die Nährstofflösung etwas zu entspannen =D.. Ich bin jetzt runter auf 1.800 EC und beobachte zunächst ein paar Zyklen des Uptake-Patterns. Danach entscheide ich, wie es weitergeht 😊 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Blueberry Cupcake Frostet fleißig weiter ❄️ Ich finde, sie sieht einfach traumhaft aus 😄 Ihr Geruch hat sich nochmal deutlich intensiviert und geht jetzt klar in Richtung beerig, der Joghurt Teil ist verschwunden =D Bin wirklich gespannt, was da noch kommt und wie sie sich weiterentwickelt 🔥 Purpz ist Aktuell für mich ganz klar der Eyecatcher im Zelt =) Top Frost, sehr schöne homogene Sites und ich meine bereits leichte Anthocyan-Einlagerungen erkennen zu können 😍 Der Geruch geht inzwischen eher in Richtung Diesel, mit einem leicht fruchtigen Abgang 🍋 Schwer zu greifen, aber extrem spannend 😄 Notorious THC Entwickelt sich ebenfalls gut 😊 Abgesehen von den lokalen Burns macht sie insgesamt einen guten Eindruck. Der kushige, eher dumpfe Geruch hat sich manifestiert, allerdings muss man bei ihr schon etwas näher rangehen =) Vom Frost zieht sie gut nach ❄️ Vom Aufbau her habe ich generell den Eindruck, dass sie etwas später dran ist. Dafür sehe ich aber klar das Potenzial auf richtig schöne Buds, die Ansätze sehen sehr vielversprechend aus =D Guzzlerz Hat auch echt gut aufgeholt, bin ehrlich gesagt überrascht 😄 Optisch immer noch etwas zart, das hat sie noch nicht ganz abgelegt, aber von der Entwicklung her würde ich sagen mittlerweile auf Augenhöhe mit NTHC 👍 Bei ihr meine ich einen leichten bläulichen Schimmer in der jungen Blüte erkennen zu können, für mich bleibt es auch hier absolut spannend =D Geruchs review gibt's hier beim nächsten update. ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten weiterhin die Lösung 🔧😊 VPD: 1,35 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm im Durchschnitt EC: 1.800–1.850 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 Vielen Dank fürs Lesen und Mitfiebern 😊 Ich wünsche euch allen eine schöne Woche 🌱
