Week 3 for our Apricot from fastbuds 🍁 We removed the 2 lower branches and leaves. We gave some master root this week. Some of the plants already showed the first preflowers, flowering is starting soon! We also placed a net above just in case we need to sustain the buds in later flowering

Buenas noches familia, aquí ando fumando un plajo, actualizando esta farm cheese que no veáis cómo empieza a oler, bastante sana, acepta muy bien la alimentación , un fallo podría ser que me pidieron agua y hasta el día siguiente nanai, pero nada serio. Ph controlado en 6.2 la temperatura no sube nunca de 26 grados con el led de mars hydro y la humedad se mantiene por debajo de 50%. Todo va muy bien. Poco más que decir estoy deseando que pasen las semanas para cosechar, buenos humos fumetillas.

Der Stretch ist zum Stillstand gekommen und die Blütenausbildung ist mit dicken und langen Stigmen in vollem Gange. Der Geruch erinnert ein wenig an eine erdige, würzige Note. Ein wenig Skunkie und auch eine Haze Note tritt zum Vorschein. Die zuckerblätter bekommen an den Tops langsam eine bläuliche einfärbung. Diese Woche kam zu ersten Mal der Kompostee zum Einsatz wobei ich ca, 1,5 Liter pro Pflanze gegossen habe

Day 37 of flower and she smells absolutely blissful. 😍 The buds are really starting to look very colorful too and there could easily be another 30 days left before harvest. When she is ready to be chopped I have a feeling she will look amazing. Can’t wait to get my camera out and do some macro focus shots. This cultivar or phenotype in particular is THIRSTY! It’s possible that the water consumption is also due to the clover but I’d imagine it’s a combination of the clover and the root system of this plant perhaps. She’s still going through a little over 2 gallons of water a day. I bought the blumat to be able to go out of town and not worry about the plant drying out and now I realize I’d need a much bigger reservoir than the 5g bucket I have. I contribute the plants late flower health to the watering consistency of the Blumat. What a game changer proper watering is, haha. All of my flower deficiencies with past plants were really underwatering symptoms from too much dry back maybe.

Lots of new growth and stretching out

Again I traveled all weekend and this time I filled the plants with a lot of water and watered the plate too with an extra liter of water, and they resisted so well that they showed several signs such as the growth and development of new leaves very green, I watered only with water, in the next watering I will put top veg fertilizer again. And so ends the third week, I'm posting a little late because of work, but whenever I can I'll post the updates here. =) peace

Hello Diary. The third week of flowering is over, what I would comment on first this week is the scent. Fat Banana began to spread a wonderful fruity scent, like some fruity candy. 😋 So far on my small farm no strain has smelled like this at this stage of flowering. The plant is full of flowers and as you can see in the photos, they fill up nicely. 👍 Brownish spots have started to appear on some leaves, I will monitor the development and try to detect what the cause is. 😯 Watering is standard, I water the plants about every three days. Preventively for now I add CalMg and every other time I add BioBizz. I am preparing about 7 lit. water with which I water all three plants evenly. Here’s what he looked like all week. 02/11/2020 - Day 39. Watering. I added BioBizz and preventive CalMg. p.H. I adjusted to 6.5 with Plagron’s Lemon Kick. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 26.7 degrees and 42% humidity. 05/11/2020 - Day 42. Photographing and watering. This time I just regulated p.H. at 6.4 and I didn’t add anything else. Fat Banana really looks beautiful so I also took photos on a black background. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.6 degrees and 41% humidity. That’s all for this week, see you soon.

One of the seedlings died. Oh well. Dropped another seed in a cup of dechlorinated water today to start another one. It's been getting significantly warmer out so hopefully that will help things along.

Started trimming a few leaves blocking bud sites and continued to tie down tallest growth. I’ve never used LST to this extent, but I’m a disciple now. Tremendous shape creating space for new growth still. At this point, I learned about the importance of dark hours for bud growth. In case it helps someone: flower growth and later, thc, is boosted and triggered by dark time. During veg for an auto, go full blast with lights. But those flowers boost at night to protect themselves from harsh UV daylight. Swear to God, after months of reading journals and articles, I didn’t realize that until recently.

Week 5 / Day 35 Flower began today - 15/12/2021. Plants have definitely started packing on some buds compared to last week. Can’t wait to see how they turn out over the next 4 weeks. EC is currently a little high, both at 1.6EC, however I believe that it is due to the top layer of the coco drying out leaving salts behind. I think this because there is no symptoms of burn or deficiency, so it can’t be the over nuting, plus I’m using 1/2 of what mills suggest in terms of Base Nutes so I believe it’s the drying out. I will be keeping the EC around 1.4 once it’s stable and only upping the base nutes if they start to seem hungry. It has been less is more the whole run so I’m gonna keep with it. To get the EC stable again, and keep the coco wet, I have began multifeeding 3 x per day during lights on. 2 litres at a time per plant every 24hrs - 6l a day. I have read good things about multifeeding so want to carry on doing it as I’m so far impressed with the results. The string for the “LST” has been left on, but I don’t think it’s necessary at all. I will probably cut them off in time or just leave them on if they don’t harm the plant at all. Due to starting the C4 a week early, I did not want to use it for an extra week again this week, so I have began using the Mills Ultimate PK a week early at 2ml per litre. This can be used for the last 2-4 weeks of flower, so hopefully it all works out. Still haven’t been any nute burn or anything this run which I’m happy about, the girls seem to be coming along nicely and just developing without issues. *touch wood* I am just defoliating a couple of leaves per girl at a time to reduce stress, and only if they are beginning to shade or cover lower bud sites. Can’t wait to see this week compared to the next too! 😁🤙🏻🙏🏻💚

Ela respondeu muito bem ao LST, mas acabei ficando com preguiça de ir melhorando a cada dia, fui viajar e larguei ela. No final ela cresceu em um formato meio estranho, com 2 cones principais até que grandes, mas a parte inferior da planta ficou menor (eu ACHO), posso estar enganado. Minha sensação é que sei começar o LST da maneira correta, mas não sei como preciso guiar depois de uma certa idade da planta. Se tivesse mantido o LST bem feito acho que ela ficaria com o dobro do volume provavelmente. Ela ramificou com facilidade. Não tirei fotos durante um tempo, mas hoje está bonita, com um verde escuro e brilho bastante saudáveis. Ela está com 53 dias.

Trimming, trimming and more trimming.... finally reached the end of the season's grow.

5/16/2024 5/21 Wish there was more to report on these

Week 6 of flower, defoliate, water, cruise control

Still holding on, I'll try to use less fertilizers for the next couple of weeks. I think they should be done around Day 80. Very impressed with how different and pretty all three of them are. Deffinetly loving the lemon cherry cookies smell, it's really taking over the flat.

Growing nice dark devil Growing bigger and faster then the rest of the tent light watering when dry with Ph tap water

Absolutely stunning in all aspects at this stage, smells of diesel and citrus.

Week 14/4 - 20/4

🌸 Blütetag 22 | Tag 66 gesamt 🌸 Gestern wurde ordentlich gelollipopt – und da kam schon einiges runter. Der Stretch trudelt jetzt langsam aus… zumindest fühlt es sich endlich so an. 😄 Jetzt dürfen die Damen langsam anfangen, richtig Gewicht und Masse aufzubauen. Und besonders die letzten 7–10 Tage waren komplett verrückt. Vor allem die Fruit Bomb Punch hat nochmal völlig den Turbo gezündet. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich selten erlebt, dass eine Pflanze innerhalb so kurzer Zeit nochmal so eskaliert. Die war am Anfang nach heißem Soil, Spruzit-Stress und dem Topping sogar die empfindlichste Kandidatin im Feld – und inzwischen thront sie mitten über allem. Komplett wild. 🚀 Die Chicken & Waffles und die Fruit Bomb Punch liegen jetzt beide ungefähr bei 1,10–1,12 m, wobei die Fruit Bomb mittlerweile leicht die Führung übernommen hat und mitten im Zelt über allem steht. Und das auch nur, weil sie inzwischen schon drei Clips bekommen hat, um sie seitlich runterzuziehen – quasi Supercropping ohne richtiges Supercroppen. Ohne diese Clips wäre sie wahrscheinlich inzwischen irgendwo bei 1,25 m, 1,30 m oder vielleicht noch höher angekommen. Absolut wahnsinnig, wie die abgegangen ist. Man merkt einfach, dass sie trotz Topping am Ende komplett Richtung Triebmonster tendiert. Einer der beiden Haupttriebe hat sich deutlich dominanter entwickelt als der andere und zieht jetzt brutal nach oben. Dazu kommt dieser Geruch… die Fruit Bomb Punch heißt wirklich nicht ohne Grund so. 🍓💥 Das ist inzwischen eine legitime Fruchtbombe. Extrem laut, extrem intensiv und komplett raumfüllend. Wahrscheinlich das stärkste und aggressivste Terpenprofil im ganzen Run bisher. Die Strawberry AK bleibt dagegen weiterhin die absolute Bilderbuchpflanze im Feld. Kompakt, buschig, brutal gesund und voller Budsites. Von der reinen Höhe hat sie gegen die beiden Monster zwar keine Chance, aber genau das macht sie spannend: Sie hat unglaublich viele kräftige Seitentriebe und Budsites aufgebaut – ehrlich gesagt deutlich mehr als die Fruit Bomb Punch. Deshalb könnte sie am Ende sogar heimlich das eigentliche Ertragsmonster werden. Nicht über Höhe, sondern über pure Masse und Struktur. 😄 Nach dem Lollipoppen habe ich sie deshalb auch etwas auf einen Topf hochgebockt, damit sie besser mit ins Canopy kommt und die vielen Tops ordentlich Licht bekommen. Ihre Struktur ist einfach wahnsinnig sauber. Eigentlich musste man an der Pflanze bisher kaum etwas machen. Auch die Chicken & Waffles entwickelt sich inzwischen zum absoluten Monster. Trotz untoppter Struktur hat sie extrem viele schöne Seitentriebe hochgezogen und steht überraschend eben im Canopy. Dafür, dass sie nie getoppt wurde, ist das schon ziemlich beeindruckend. Diese riesigen Internodienabstände, die anfangs fast schon zu wild wirkten, sorgen jetzt dafür, dass überall Licht tief in die Pflanze fällt und die Seitentriebe brutal mitziehen. Terpentechnisch entwickeln sich die drei Damen mittlerweile ebenfalls komplett unterschiedlich: Die Fruit Bomb Punch ist einfach pure Frucht und komplett laut. Die Strawberry AK geht eher in eine cremigere, weichere Candy-Fruchtrichtung. Und die Chicken & Waffles bleibt bisher eher würzig unterwegs. Auch technisch läuft der Run aktuell erstaunlich entspannt. Die Dripper laufen konstant morgens, mittags und abends – besser geht’s eigentlich kaum. Die Pflanzen wirken super stabil versorgt und gerade in dieser explosiven Phase scheint ihnen das richtig gutzutun. Temperaturtechnisch ist ebenfalls noch alles im Rahmen, auch wenn die Luftfeuchtigkeit inzwischen langsam etwas anzieht. Aber bei der Blattmasse und dem Wachstum wundert das mittlerweile auch nicht mehr. 😄 Gesundheitlich sieht der Run aktuell wirklich top aus. Eigentlich gibt es nichts Auffälliges außer der ganz normalen Aufhellung im Verlauf der Blüte. Keine echten Probleme, keine größeren Mängel – genau so darf’s weitergehen. 🙏 Jetzt heißt es: Budstacking, Gewicht und hoffentlich nicht komplett ans Zeltdach wachsen. 😅 Am Ende entscheidet das Glas. 🍯 Grow on 🌱 Flower Day 22 | Day 66 overall 🌸 Yesterday was lollipopping day — and quite a lot came off. The stretch finally seems to be slowing down now… at least it feels like it. 😄 From here on, the ladies can hopefully start focusing more on proper bud stacking, weight and mass. And honestly, the last 7–10 days have been completely insane. Especially the Fruit Bomb Punch absolutely hit the turbo again. I rarely see a plant explode that hard within such a short time. Early on she was actually the most sensitive plant in the tent after the hot soil mix, the Spruzit stress and the topping — and now she completely dominates the middle of the canopy. Absolute madness. 🚀 The Chicken & Waffles and the Fruit Bomb Punch are now both sitting around 1.10–1.12 m tall, although the Fruit Bomb has slightly taken the lead and now towers above everything else in the center of the tent. And that’s only because she already got three clips to pull her sideways — basically supercropping without actually supercropping. Without those clips she would probably be somewhere around 1.25 m, 1.30 m or maybe even higher by now. Just crazy how hard she stretched. You can really tell that despite the topping she still wants to become one giant dominant shoot monster. One of the two main tops clearly became much stronger than the other and is now absolutely blasting upwards. And then there’s the smell… the Fruit Bomb Punch truly deserves her name. 🍓💥 This thing is a legitimate fruit bomb. Extremely loud, extremely intense and completely fills the room. Probably the strongest and most aggressive terp profile in the entire run so far. The Strawberry AK, on the other hand, remains the absolute textbook plant of the run. Compact, bushy, incredibly healthy and completely packed with budsites. Height-wise she can’t compete with the two monsters, but that’s exactly what makes her so interesting: she built an insane amount of strong side branches and budsites — honestly way more than the Fruit Bomb Punch. So she might secretly become the true yield monster in the end. Not through height, but through pure mass and structure. 😄 After lollipopping I even raised her slightly on top of a pot so she can stay better within the canopy and get more light to all those tops. Her structure is just ridiculously clean. Honestly, she barely needed any work during the whole grow. The Chicken & Waffles is also turning into a complete monster by now. Despite being completely untopped she developed tons of beautiful side branches and created a surprisingly even canopy. For an untopped plant, that’s seriously impressive. Those huge internodal gaps that initially looked almost too wild are now allowing light to penetrate deep into the plant and all the side branches are exploding as well. Terp-wise the three ladies are also separating more and more now: The Fruit Bomb Punch is just pure loud fruit. The Strawberry AK leans into a creamier, softer candy-fruit direction. And the Chicken & Waffles currently stays more on the spicy side. Technically the run is also going surprisingly smooth right now. The drippers are running consistently morning, noon and evening — honestly couldn’t ask for much better. The plants seem extremely stable and happy with it, especially during this explosive phase of growth. Temperature-wise things are still under control too, although humidity is slowly starting to creep up. But with this amount of leaf mass and growth, that’s hardly surprising anymore. 😄 Health-wise the run currently looks really great overall. Basically nothing concerning besides the normal lightening during flower progression. No real deficiencies, no major problems — exactly how you want things to go. 🙏 Now it’s time for bud stacking, weight gain and hopefully not completely growing into the tent roof. 😅 In the end, the jar decides. 🍯 Grow on 🌱
