Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

Inizio di un nuovo ciclo test targato FASTBUDS! 1° Step: Germinazione dei semi! Dopo pochissimi giorni si intravede da subito la forte vigorosità di questa varietà. 4/5 sono già venute alla luce! ❤️💚 2° Step: Messa a dimora nel vaso finale da 14L (+-3,7gal) e inizio di una fertilizzazione soft a base dei nutrienti CANNA:RHIZOTONIC per radici sane, vigorose e stimolate a crescere sempre di più ;TERRA VEGA per accelerare lo sviluppo cellulare e soddisfare i bisogni della pianta. Un occhio particolare al ph dell'acqua di irrigazione stabile tra 6/6.5 per evitare blocchi dei nutrimenti. Sembrano già così felici 😊

Aún las tenía metidas en casa por la noche, por qué las plante en pretemporada y no quería que se congelarán.

This week we just gave them water. Both phenotypes are developing well and the roots are growing fast. F01 presenting a slight advantage in relation to the height and development of the leaves.

I love this strain to pieces man! Another high quality genetic by original sensible seeds, very very hard dense nuggets like rocks, sticky, stinky as hell, high quality, as always by original sensible seeds. 100% organic grown

Ужэ 17 день активнова цветения , 2 недели без изменения всё идёт нормально жду середины 3 недели чтоб провести лёгкую дефоляцию . С удовольствием жду вашы коментарии , советы , вапросы и дажэ критику ;)

Bud sites are producing black/purple spot in leaves. Bud growth is producing as the days go by. Really excited with this being my first grow Nitrogen boost really helped with the deficiencies. Plants are starting to look really heathy... Prunes lower colas that weren't stretching past the canopy and receiving energy so more energy can be used towards the top buds

Next to the GPP which is top right under fan Left of it - J.Hustle, Christiania Seeds In front - 1 fab (on autopot tray) Sweet, Black Cream AND Terpyz Supa Slick Shore in a 2 gal fab in a tray on ground front right And ofcourse, other plant bottom left is Terpyz, SWAG MDC! ✌️💚

Sa sent le rincage

I pour the beet by Hand. Every two days like 5%-10% of the total soil amount. Today (12.5.) is 28.Day of flower (55-70 Days total) Lamps are on 600w the top of the flowers have 600-800ppfd Vpd is 1.2-1.3

The girls gain mass and mature ... 🍃🍃🍃Everything is going well, I think that day 60 will be over🍃🍃🍃 ... Now only the water...🍃🍃🍃Enjoying the view... 🍃🍃🍃

Vanilla Latte from Huboldt Seed Company seems to be very stron strain! others still going very well...

26.08.2024 1. RDWC: I run a DIY system made of 4 Buckets 17L+separated control/tank bucket (12L operational water per bucket used) fallponic plus underwater current. I don't know why I have made such system I just wanted to be sure that I have included every possible option. I'm not sure but maybe I'll upgrade it to rainponic it's not that hard of a job. I'm not using my 100L reservoir this run becose it needs replacement old one made a small flood in my garden. 2. TENT AC Infinity 5x5 3. Airpump Hailea ACO 388 D 70L/min. 4. Water chiller: hailea water chiller hc-150a. 5. LED GROW light Grand Master Level Tarantula voyager 1500W 2 chanel's plus controller (it will be my first run with this monster it just arrived). 6. INLINE FAN: AC Infinity cloudline S6 carbon filter. 7. CLIP FAN: AC infinity Cloudray S6 3 pcs. For low middle and over the LED air movement. 8. Humidifier AC INFINITY T3 (I don't need stronger one naturally the humidity here is around 65-70%) 9. TENT CONTROLLERS: controller 69 PROX2 10. Germination/humidity dom by AC infinity with germination lamps 40W Ionabeam S11 only for the first 2 weeks before VEG. DAY 1 Closed in a box hiden in a dark boiler room. Room temperature 25C EC 850 RH 90% Instruments used for measuring: AC Infinity Hydroponic Meter PRO AC infinity VPD thermometer DAY 2 5/6 seeds have start to crack open I guess tomorrow or the day after they will be all ready for the cubes. DAY 3 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26 C Relative Humidity 83% 5/6 seeds are showing signs of life. The 6th one is a little bit slower it's cracked as it can be seen on the picture but it refuses to show it's tale. I believe tomorrow it will be ready. On day 4 I'll put them in the "Root Riot" cubes and after that I'll just monitor the RH and RT until I see the sprouts. DAY4 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 94% 6/6 seeds have germinated so far. Today I'll move them in the Humidity dom where they will stay until they become seedlings and I'll keep them there until they are ready to be moved in the RDWC system and coco coir. In the video I have show my method of preparing the cubes for the seeds next update will be tomorrow probably only for temperature and humidity. DAY 5 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25-27. RH 89-95 I can't believe that I'm seeing first sprout today. Maybe this strain is one who can take a little push 🤣🤣🤣 I'll keep in mind and I'll se how much I can push it. Unfortunately I still don't have CO2 for veg and flower but I can try other different little tricks. I'm happy with this seeds obviously 42 Fast Buds are giving a really quality seeds. Let's see what kind of buds will come out of this seeds. I hope tomorrow everything will be sprout out and i will turn on the lamps. DAY 6 PPFD 120 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 92.1 It's day six 4/5 seeds are successfully germinated. Maybe the next two will pop out but for one of them I'm not so sure. Anyway I have one spare seed that I can pop out for the coco project plus I have one Papaya Cookies Auto for the fifth bucket so that's no problem. The seeds ar under the light AC Infinity Ionabeam S11 on level 3 equal to 115 ppfd plus the DOM extension. DAY 7 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% I have 4/6 successfully germinated seedlings. Tomorrow I'll open up the humidity dom a little bit. It's good to have spare seeds. Now I'll have to plant my spare peace of gorilla cookies and probably one Papaya Cookies Auto (gift) becose my plans were for 6 plants. Anyway this 4 soon will be transplanted in the RDWC flowering pot. Let's see what tomorrow have to say. DAY 8 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% Amazing root development, I wasn't expecting this kind of speed but obviously tomorrow I'll transplant them in the RDWC even before the VEG state. Maybe I'll keep them a few more days when the first set of leaves is all out. DAY9 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.1 RH 58% Today is the last day in the humidity Dom. I delayed the move becose i wanted to have a longer stems and becose my fertilizers got lost in the depo so ill receive them tomorrow. We have very healthy baby's with a lot of tiny roots so it will be perfect to start then from day 10. DAY 10 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26-27C RH 70% EC 115 pH 7 This is the fastest seeds I ever see. I have never transferred seedlings in to RDWC so far, usually I make this procedure around day 17-20. While I was transferring them one of the seedlings accidently snapped a little bit but I hope it was not fatal enough and maybe it will survive, only the time will show, anyway I have another one in coco so I can always transfer it in to RDWC if needed. EC is only 115 for today becose of the little bit of ATHENA BALANCE I dropped in the water, so far the roots are not touching the water so i can add the fertilizers tomorrow while I'm fresh. DAY 11 Water Temperature 18C Room temperature 28C EC 120 pH 7 PPFD 200 RH 70% They look nice and healthy still not enough signs of roots for picture but so far the seedlings look fresh. One more day in the Formulex+tap water and they will go in the Athena by day 13. DAY 12 Water temperature 18C Room temperature 27C pH 7 PPFD 220 RH 70 AC 240 Everything is going g quick and perfect. So far this run is going smooth as never. I never had root development that quick as this with this seeds. I'm almost in love with them. After a quick summary with my previous runs I decided to double the AC before tomorrow when I'll change the water and I'll replace it with 6.0 pH RO water and the full athena program for the RDWC. So far so good let's see what the Athena nutrients will show after one week. DAY 13 RH 70 Room temperature 27-28 EC 290 pH 6.1 Water Temperature 20C PPFD 300 Light cicle 20/4 I couldn't resist to flip the fertilizer to athena. After all as soon as I teach em what its better. Full water change of the tank and new suplements. Formulex is amazing suplement for the first two weeks maybe it can carry most people to whole VEG if it's in soil or coco, but I want the real food in RDWC. So far all the plants have amazing small roots so that means the system work well. Let's see the progress tomorrow, but I beleave in the middle of the week this plants will be already in official VEG period. DAY 14 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I needed a little bit more light. I don't know how to explain it but its a grower thing and now my seedlings are looking better than the morning. They were looking a little bit "dizzy" if I can use this terminology. So basically in perfect water temperature, perfect fertilizer level and good aeration, there was nothing left beside the light. As I'm saying you can't feed a lot if you don't have enough light. I added the spider farmer SF 1000 EVO over the water container, becose the big fixture is too far from them, but I can't put them under the Voyager, becose my previous grow is in the final week. So now they are on a separate light 🤣🤣 🤣 370-400 PPFD is a little bit much but I beleave they will manage it. After all the plan of this run is to reach 1000 PPFD in the final days. DAY 15 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 So far the progress is mainly on roots and some new leafes are coming out. Probably next set of leafes is going to be the first that will mark the veg stage. I have added a little bit of ATHENA clense today and by far notging ha e changed since yesterday. DAY 16 RH 70 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 23C EC 290 pH 6.1 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 As I was expecting most of the job is pre-veg, what I mean is that the results we can see are mostly in root development and ohh boy this is a crazy root spike in just 24 hours. I don't know is it becose of the Athena or just the genetics of the seedling but Im really amazed. In just 11 days from first seedling until today and I'm seeing some crazy root development. I truly beleave that the next set of leaves will be marking the vegetative stage and then we can start the game. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 18 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 Okay two more days and we will be in veg. It's Not like we are not in veg today I just want to keep the update from Sunday to Sunday. DAY 19 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 We are in veg tomorrow so today we change nothing. Tomorrow will be great day.

Super easy grow, it was a first time when i transplant auto, and she recovered well after😁

Week 2 flowering and tropicana cookies very easy to grow and she loves feeding o feed her with high dose and seem she love it all time I feed her every 2days and I wanna feed less water and do it every day when light goes on

Don't have a lot of time these days to take pics so I'll sum things up. CO2 got outta control and the plants took tf off literally. The video is around middle of week 3, I had to flip at week 4 BC I literally ran out of room and I had to constantly defoliate.
