Hi Growmies,
welcome back to week 3 of my Fast Buds Auto Grow!
Weather and Conditions
The weather gods have gone completely insane. Here in good old Germany, it feels like everything is melting down — including me! 😅
We've been hitting around 36°C for the last few days, and even nighttime temperatures have stayed well above 25°C. Perfect conditions for a serious growth spurt.
At this point, I already have to water the girls daily, which is quite unusual this early in the grow.
Growth
The ladies are absolutely thriving right now.
Ever since I started the first round of LST, all shoots seem determined to race upwards. Of course, I'm not allowing that and keep bending them back down whenever necessary.
Growth feels noticeably more explosive than in previous years. My guess is that the Plagron Bat Mix is playing a major role here. Combined with the weekly dose of Bokashi juice, the girls seem to be loving life.
Pests
Thanks to the hot weather, snails are no longer much of a concern.
So far, I haven't spotted any unwanted visitors such as thrips or aphids either. Hopefully it stays that way, although all the ants and aphids in the neighborhood seem to be having one massive party on my two giant sunflowers.
Looks like the distraction strategy is working pretty well. 😄
Continuing LST
The girls have responded very well to the training and are already developing a nice structure.
Unfortunately, I had a little accident while adjusting the LST on my Apricot girl. I managed to snap the main stem, which really pissed me off because she was growing exceptionally well.
I patched her up with a bit of duct tape and now it's a waiting game. I'm curious to see if the top recovers and keeps growing. Cannabis can be surprisingly resilient, so fingers crossed.
Let's see how well I can keep them under control if they continue growing at this pace. It's going to get interesting over the next couple of weeks.
Final Thoughts
That's it for this week.
The girls are healthy, growing fast, and enjoying the summer weather. Apart from my little Apricot mishap, I couldn't ask for much more at this stage.
Catch ya next week, guys!

I put in some work yesterday and today. Chopped the clover, added some buildasoil craft blend and cased it with BaS compost and transplanted her from the 1g to the 20g.
I also set up the Blumat irrigation system and the tensiometer. I’m excited to see how much better it waters than I do. Based on the tensiometer it seems I was greatly under watering.
Trellis net going up in a few days.

New flowering continues to develop on this lady, she seems to be swelling up day by day.
Yellowing of the fan leaves has started which usually means it's time to flush, I need to check the trichomes to see how amber they appear before I do just in case the flavour or yield could be effected.

Einen wunderschönen guten Tag wünsche ich euch, liebe Growfreunde 🤗😊
Hab diese Woche den entfeuchter angemacht und auf 60% gestellt damit die luftfeuchtigkeit bissl runter geht. Am Dienstag hab ich auf 12/12 gestellt, da die Lemon Shining Silver Haze nen ganz schönen schub gemacht hat und die Runtz auch😁😁😁😁. Zuvor hab ich alle etwas entlaubt und paar unnütze Triebe entfernt.
Haze: ca.50cm momentan Runtz: 45cm Green Gelato: ca 40 Sweet ZZ: ca. 40cm die Peyote Critical hat gan schön aufgeholt: ca.40cm💪💪 und die Gorilla Zkittlez hinkt hinterher mit etwas über 20cm. Ich hoffe auf min. 100% stretch bei den großen und vllt 150% bei der Gorilla Zkittlez. Naja, die Hoffnung stirbt ja bekanntlich zuletzt

Outdoor coco 15g pots
Progress:
Lava cake is about week 6.5. Starting to ripen and get heavy. Buds are getting fat. Strong sweet cookie/ ice cream smell. Buds are getting more frosty. Buds are getting so heavy I installed a net on 3 of 4 and doing #4 soon. On my most mature plant - About 25-30% of pistils have turned color. Some trichomes are milky, none amber. Looks like plants are a few days apart.
Marathon OG week 5 1/2. Still stacking and getting fat. Smells dank. Trichomes are showing up. The 20 gallon OG is growing into a monster. I’m still waiting for the heavy bud stacks….
Nutes:
Bumping up ppm, the dry koolbloom and molasses, stopping regular koolbloom and grow. Looking to starting flushing the lava cake in a week or so. Feeding 2x a day; 3x on hot days.
Weather:
Had a good week of cooler temps until yesterday, when it was 97. Looking at hugs in the 80s this week, perfect.
Pests:
The moths and caterpillars are in full swing so I’m applying BT every morning. I’m working hard to reduce caterpillar 🐛 losses. We lost all of the top colas on a plant in another location 💔 . I’m only losing one bud at a time and not the entire colas so far.
Wishing fat buds and monster harvests to all.

Nice little stretch, did a bit of a defloiation to help with airflow and light penetration but I like to leave as many leaves on the plant as possible because the plant will use those leaves as batteries when it comes to mid to late flower. And its all about the microbes! Just been giving microbe bombs every week, once a week.

Happy Birthday! One week old today and looking good. Stretched a little more than I hoped, but maybe that will help when I bend her in a few weeks. MA is front-center in the group shots.
