02.08.2026 Hi Growmies, welcome back to week 8 of my Fast Buds Auto Grow! Weather and Conditions The weather has been almost perfect for the girls, with plenty of sunshine, high temperatures and still no rain at all. If these conditions continue for another two weeks, I might make it through the grow without any major issues. Fingers crossed! Unfortunately, my rain barrels are completely empty by now, so I've had to switch to tap water. Growth The girls have completely stopped stretching and are now focusing all their energy on swelling their buds and producing more resin. Papaya Cookies No more side branches are developing, but the buds are getting noticeably longer and fatter every day. Her smell has become incredibly intense. With the right wind, you can already smell her from the front of my house. Definitely not the best strain if you have neighbours with sensitive noses. The colours are absolutely gorgeous as well—a real eye-catcher. I estimate she'll be ready for harvest in about two weeks. Tangie When it comes to bulking up, she has now overtaken Papaya Cookies with ease. Just like in my 2024 grow, she's producing long, candle-shaped colas. The genetics seem to be incredibly consistent. The aroma reminds me of freshly peeled oranges, and I absolutely love it. I think she'll need around three more weeks before she's ready. Apricot Apricot is also showing some beautiful colours, although she'll probably end up being the smallest yielder of the three. But... she easily has the best aroma of them all. In my opinion, she even smells better than Papaya Cookies, although not nearly as overpowering. Fast Buds really created a beautiful terpene profile with this one. Her buds aren't as large as the others, but they already look as if they've been coated in thick sugar. She's by far the frostiest girl in the greenhouse. I have a feeling she's going to deliver a seriously potent smoke. I also expect her to finish in about two weeks. Feeding Nothing has changed this week. I'm still feeding T.A. TriPart as before. Over the next week I'll switch Apricot and Papaya Cookies to T.A. FinalPart, while Tangie will stay on TriPart for another week because of her longer flowering time. Pests Still nothing to report. Looks like the grow gods are on my side this year. 🤞 Final Thoughts Overall, it's been a solid—though not spectacular—grow so far. Missing a feeding while I was on holiday probably cost me a bit of yield, but that's perfectly fine. The vacation was definitely worth it. Now it's all about finishing strong and letting the girls ripen to their full potential. That's it for this week, my friends. Catch ya next week! Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Persian Pie produces dense, chunky buds with a beautiful structure that really stands out in the jar. The flowers are tight and well-stacked, showing off a rich mix of deep greens and purple hues The resin production is impressive thick layers of frosty trichomes coat the surface, making the buds sticky to the touch and ideal for extraction. Under the light, they sparkle heavily, a clear sign of strong potency Overall, Persian Pie delivers visually stunning buds with top-shelf bag appeal, backed by heavy resin and a rich terpene profile that makes it a pleasure both to grow and to consume.

Day 8 : Still watering a small amount everyday, before lights turn off. No nutrients, only my lentils juice, to help roots production. She show no deformation, leaves have a perfect shape. That's something i was used to with auto ^^ She is a bit too tall in my opinion, but she's not stretching anymore. Good. Still planning to add dirt on the top, to simple solve this. She Spend day outside, the weather is still perfect.

Day 40: I returned from a weekend, finding now (luckily) much slower height but an impressive bud growth. Nothing special to report except for I lowered lady #2’s lights a bit. She is now some visible cms behind her sister (who has 83 cm), and maybe that helps to compensate her (still very nice) growth. Gave them another round of fertilised water, still with some HPE, during day 40. I could see in timelapse video they immediately gained fuller leaf positions and some progress. But sadly, as it’s quite warm here, main blower kicked in often, ruining the video to be much too shaky to show. Day 42: Nothing special again. Slow height gain (84 cm), steady bud growth. Day 43: I noticed the lowest leaves getting a bit pale. While this is perfectly ok on one hand – not much light to collect there anyway –, I think I will increase fertiliser portion a bit next time they are thirsty. At the end 85 cm in tallest main bud. Day 44 concludes this week. Not much to report except for what was already said. Slow but steady growth, a tiny bit of yellowing on the very lowest leaves and thirst about 1 l/day. This week was very hot, but the last day brought some cooling. Would be nice to have a timelapse video again that does not look like camera Raspi had Parkinson’s (when main blower is active).

Grateful to have the homie along on this journey. Moving the seedling tray from the greenhouse to the tent. On May 20th the homie GbaGrow cleared some spaced and welcome the new genetics to their new home. The goal is to between himself and I to identify the females, and created an environment to thrive in cultivation with the Holistic Approach. We will be showcasing various videos same species but in different environments, cultivated by different breeders, same team. RP (Me) RPB1 @GbaGrow MAY 23rd Is a visual update, the plants in the trays have been moved into individual solo cups. #StartedWithASolo We are excited to see what the future beholds. We are on to something, an unknown haze. Looking forward to feedback

I still have to go thru all the photos but wanted to get the video up for all of them first. If your interested in the pics come back at the end of today and they will be up it just takes a while. Noticing more seeds poppin thru, I hope it's from the moonshine cookies pollen cuz the female turned out bomb and the male wasnt too bad either so they might be decent seeds. Started the flush on the citradellic and the other ones might have got their last feed yesterday. Should be finishing up next week and the week after. This one says 70 day strain in the description but it's got alot of amber trichs so I'm gunna flush from here on out. I dont really know what's gunna happen since the leaves are already black but it should get interesting over the next week or 2.

Week 9...I have 2 other plants growing in the tent with these 2 plants and they aren't autos so I had to switch the lighting schedule over to 12/12 for those plants...I haven't seen any affects of the light change for these 2 plants...They smell great I am hoping they will be ready to go in about 3 weeks!

Apr 27: and they’re off. Both seeds germinated very strongly. I’m keeping the soil drier this time. I think maybe I’ve had soil too wet when starting seeds before and that slowed them down a bit. Will focus on keeping the seedlings moist to make up for the low air humidity. Once they get some roots going then I’ll start normal watering. Apr 30: snow day but plants are all still inside under lights. So far so good. May 1: one seedling is a bit bigger than the other at this early stage. I’ll pick one to keep and adopt out the other one. May 3: transplanted to intermediate pot to raise the soil level.

Week 9 - Day 63 - 26/11/19 Im so grateful to be a part of this community and to be at this milestone so to speak :) had an amazing time growing this plant, thanks to everyone who had a look or contributed to my diary! Harvest was fun but that little 16cm tall plant stunk my whole house out of cheese when i started trimming her :) Added a few photos and videos of the harvesting, i got a little ball of hash off the scissors which i smoked in a bong and it was nice! very hashy! its taken about 2 hours to finish trimming but ive stored all the trim in the freezer along with the dwarf trim from my last diary :) im making cannabutter and edibles this week. really excited for that. So i hung my drying rack outside the tent beside the passive intake. temps are between 20-22c in the room so it should dry fine and im hoping the passive intake will drag the smell in and keep it sort of fresh in the room :) This diary has got me excited for my Quick One plant as its much taller and has colas like arms :D. Il update in 3-7 days when buds are dried and then il be updating a lot throughout curing :) Day 65 - 28/11/19 Still drying these buds :) they look much smaller now, i smoked a small bud and although its much drier than harvest its still spongy/sticky and stretchy when breaking apart so 2-3 more days drying i think. Smell is wonderful especially if you get it on your hands, its like tropical fruit cheese and the effects of thc are not as pronounced with this strain but i felt very relaxed, no muscle pain etc and no paranoia or anxiety. i havent had a clear relaxed headspace before bed in a very long time. Any 1:1 THC/CBD is a must grow, give it a try if you havent already, i couldnt have picked a better starter medical plant as i love a good old cheese strain :) And i made some cannabutter out of the 59g of sugar leaves i got from this diary and my first diary. il have to upload a few pictures of the process later and let you all know if the cannabutter worked in my brownies :) Day 66 - 29/11/19 Started curing and added a photo to show :) buds were at 59-60% when left in the jar alone for a few hours so i threw in my boveda 58% pack and started burping 5-6 times per day :) i could have cured for a week before adding the boveda pack but i had barely any bud in the huge jar so i thought it would be wise to add the boveda to prevent mold and to keep it curing perfectly! Day 67 - 30/11/19 Posted a picture of a handful of buds :) i smoked a few in a bong and had a joint and it left me nice and medicated! no anxiety no paranoia nicely locked to the couch and sleepy. perfect nightime smoke as it wont trip you out or mess with your head, just a nice happy little mellow buzz! Flavour hasnt really came through yet, not sure what to expect as im a newbie but its slightly like cheese/flowery/herbs. Curing is definitely helping every day! the smell is getting better, buds are getting really smooth and they look amazing also! really excited for the next few weeks curing :) Final Update - Day 69 - 02/12/19 Finally here at the end of this diary and i have to say i loved growing this plant. it was a dark green colour throughout growing and took whatever i threw at it. Buds are nice and dry and curing well. i saved the best buds until last and added a couple of photos of them and a video also! they are covered in trichomes and feel great. Not much of a smell from the buds and it tastes like a sweet floral cheese mixture. Im pretty couchlocked from a bong of this strain so im gonna end this diary here and go relax but many thanks for following along folks and take a look at my other diaries if you get a chance :) Peace!

So far 2 ounces under the single mars TS1000 7 oz from the 3 plants at the hps flower room One plant weighed and curing from the hps dark devils x3 First hps dark devil weighing 3 ounces. Dark devil (lighter color) hps grow Look: 9 Smell: 8 (chocolate scent) Density: 4 Moisture: 2 Taste: 7 High: 10 Crash: 0 This dark devil is a little less dense then the other but still looks very unique with its purplish tinge and orange hairs. The smell is a chocolate lovers heaven as the smoke is very flavorful with the delicious scent of chocolate! The taste is diesely with a hint of earthly undertones and aftertaste that tastes even better imo. As for the high, it's a slow and steady mellow high; high function kind of high, not crazy relaxing but not super energetic. It's a very nice and calm get things done feeling. The end of the high is very mellow as well; there's really no crash and my hunger hasn't spiked and I'm an hour and a half into it! Summary: This strain of dark devil is a good choice is your a high functioning smoker and enjoy a nice mellow relaxing high with aromas that make the experience just that much better! 8/10
