FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto on this run, slightly different tent, same size but 1ft taller than the last one just to give me abit more room,.. got an extra fan going and a couple of cool feeding bottles that drip into the trays save me opening the tent every feed, these are 7 days from breaking soil, one obviously has taken of more than the other but both seem fine, roll on next week 👌

Well that’s it no more diy for me the scrog frame buckled cause of the heat so I’ve just gone for netting best thing for it lol

Home stretch baby!!! Start of week 10 of flower, and things are looking chop ready:) The ill effects of last weeks PK burn have subsided and the plants are back to healthy. Have been checking trichomes and flower form, and based on my experience, these ladies are coming down in 6 days, October 6th. One of the plants has the hardest, densest, stickiest nug i have ever seen. So looking forward to tasting. I have been off the nutes for a few days and will be water only from here on out. I have dusted off my old bowl trimmer and drying rack. I have always wet-trimmed and dried in a rack. I dry for about 5 days and then start jarring and burping. The bowl trimmer is soooo fast. It cuts my trim time by literally 90%, will post a video on chop day. Updates later in week F66 - Chopped the one girl who had a tonne of amber in her. Looks to be a good 2.5 zips when dry, time will tell if my estimate is correct, but it comes from experience. Other 7 plants coming down on F71. Check my bowl trimmer video!

Took some more leaves this week responds like most by filling in the gaps over night incredible plant this cannabis started budding already hence the bud blood and igniter I use these 2 religiously even on my photo plants 1 week before light switch or starting week 3thru to week 5 on autoS

What a beast! The main bud has really plumped up and looks absolutely gorgeous. I’ve trimmed off a few of the larger leaves. It smells delicious and looks very healthy.

She is going to be amazing when full sized. I had my quarrels with the lady but it's been rewarding waiting with patients. That is like we should do with all lady's. ;)

Seems like the fungus gnats are almost gone. 😊 Since the Maverick is 2 weeks older than the blue dream I have to put them into flour which I did last night. The blue dream seems to be growing very slowly still. I also fimed her last week and yeah didn't see much results since it's going so slow. Hopefully we'll get something good out of the flowering stretch Blue Dream is looking to have about six colas and the Maverick probably around 10. Overall I am happy. Peace!!!

Hallo Growlegen, wir zählen Blüte Tag 10 und den Blümchen geht's soweit sehr gut 😁 Sie messen jetzt ca 85 cm 📏 Beide wachsen ähnlich, die Gushers hat etwas längere Internodien und Frau Kush ist etwas kompakter und buschiger. Beide haben leichte gelbe Spitzen, aber mein VPD ist auch nicht ideal. 😞 Der PPFD liegt erst bei ca.650 und Lampe bei 60 %- da müsste eigentlich noch was gehen, oder was meint ihr ? ☀️🌤️⛅🌥️ Ein einziges Blatt der Gushers zeigt etwas Calmag Mangel - aber sonst nix zu sehen außer die typische Blüteaufhellung. Der Stretch der letzten Tage war schon ordentlich, aber noch passt die Höhe ✅ Wir freuen uns alle schon auf den Friseur Termin in nächster Zeit (noch 11 Tage Geduld), da muss dringend gestutzt werden im Unterholz ✂️ Grüne Grüße Rocko 💚

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Gorilla Melon de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, las flores son bien compactas y van repletas de resina son muy pegajosas, tienen tonos verdes bonitos, y tiene unos aromas dulces y exóticos bastante marcados con toques terrosos. Es muy sencilla de cultivar, es de ciclo de 2 meses y medio, pero bien agradecida, tiene buenos satélites, de las que plante de fastbuds, podría decir que mi favorita hasta el momento. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Hello Growmies, As the seventh week of cultivation unfolds, our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids are dazzling in their mid-flowering stage, carrying a symphony of scents that entice the senses. Residing alongside their Epic Buzz and Red Banana Pudding counterparts, these plants are halfway through their flowering journey, with an anticipated five more weeks to reach full maturation. The Watermelon Candy specimens, exhibiting their genetic prowess, have embraced the halfway mark with a robust vigor, their canopies dense and vibrant. The sweet fragrance wafting from their flowering sites is indicative of the quality to come. With dense trichome production already visible, the promise of potent, flavorful buds is on the horizon. Plant #1 stands out with its substantial vertical growth and impressive bud structure, clearly benefiting from the steady environmental conditions provided by the Tent-X system. Plant #2, while slightly more subdued, showcases a well-balanced structure, promising a generous yield. Plant #3's wide-reaching canopy is a sight to behold, with each branch heavily laden with budding sites. This week's feeding schedule has been adjusted to a five-day interval, ensuring our plants receive the nutrients they need without overburdening them. The nutrient mixture remains a carefully calibrated blend of Alga Bloom, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, providing a perfect balance to support their flowering needs. As we maintain the PPFD levels at a hearty 450-500, we continue to monitor and adjust our environment, ensuring that the VPD remains within the ideal range. The TrolMaster's data logs are a testament to our dedication, reflecting the precision with which we approach the cultivation process. Observing the photos, the plants display a unified strength and symmetry, thriving under our attentive care. The internodal spacing, the structure of the stems, and the onset of floral clusters all point towards a successful cultivation cycle. Looking ahead, we anticipate the continued development of these Watermelon Candy Hybrids, each day bringing us closer to a harvest that promises both quantity and quality. Our diligent efforts, combined with the collective wisdom of our community, continue to guide us toward a successful harvest. Stay lifted, Salokin

Finally harvest day is here! Bruce Banner Auto #3 was a pleasure to grow! It grew strong through some cold weather at the start and showed no signs of holding back. Also had spikes of high humidity during late flowering stage which of course stressed me out however no bud rot whatsoever. Strong easy plant to grow and can’t wait to see what the final bud weight will be for these 3 beauties. 😁 Final dry weight was 5.33 ounces of dried bud. Looks good, smells good, smokes good 👌

This is my favorite plant of the 16oz dutch bucket grow. She has grow fast, healthy, and has a beautiful structure. She is putting on some nice tops. She is starting to show some drooping on the top leaves in the evening since being put under the quantum boards. But she perks back up in the morning so I think she will keep chugging along. I'm thinking I will easily exceed 2 oz on harvest if I can see her to the end. Got the nutrient pumping and the lights beaming. Not much else to do from here on out

Tag 15 Mädels gehen in dieWachstumsphase 0,5l Wasser mit einem ph wert von 6,0 Licht bei 45cm Abstand mit 60% veg mod Automaticflow macht als Substrat Dünger bis jetzt einen guten Eindruck. Tag 18 Jetzt gehen sie in die Stretch und Wachstums Zeit, meine Lieblingszeit! Da ich diesen Dünger ( Automaticflow Hybrid Substrat) zum ersten Mal benutze, bin ich gespannt wie er performen wird . Licht ist jetzt auf max. ( 65w veg mod ) mit 60cm Abstand Wasser alle 3 Tage 0,5l, ph 6,0

Just at the end of week # 2 in bloom , LST training is going well and the canopy is pretty full , cooler outside temps allow me to use my co2 burner and they are all looking great with lots of bud sites and liking the nutrient balance, made new nuits today and it went from 1400 to 1150 in two feedings , one more week of stretch and then I will finish the under canopy cleanup and plan on a light defoliation at week 4 of bloom. The 8 Ball Kush is really showing great growth and it’s early on , should be some huge buds this crop , the Blue OG Kush is healthy , it’s my first time with it so I’m not sure what it grows like . Stay Tuned

This is the start of my second grow and also second Northern Light Auto from RQS, the goal is to hit #1 in g/plant for that Strain. I didn't take as many notes as in the last grow but there are timelapses, some photos and metrics from probes. Started with 3 Seeds and then picked the 2 strongest. The System is a NFT System but due to the size of the tube and root growths the solution with submerge the roots ~70% later on. To combat that I use 3 small 1.5w air pumps, these are super silent, if one dies I got 2 more running and to be honest air pumps used in DWC systems are often oversized and rely on Broscience. In my Salad/Herb NFT Systems I don't use any air pumps and the plants are just fine and grow great. This time I added sprinklers to humidify the air inside the tube, slightly moisturize the Rockwool and speed up root growths. Spoiler: Was a great success :) The ratios for the fertilizers are not accurate in the following weeks, I have a 120l Reservoir that is filled 90-110l I top it up once or twice a week to sustain PH and EC, if you want to copy it just go by the EC and use the B (Calcinit) and A (Kristalon Blue/Orange) 50/50. I mix the solution myself with dry salts that I bought in bulk 25kg bags. 4l Water(distilled/RO preferably, tap water is OK) + 1kg salts mixes just fine, keep the solution dark and cool and it will stay stable for months. Dry salts don't expire if kept cool and dry so only mix what you need and keep the rest stored as dry salts. 40ml A + 40ml B is about 2EC and 6PH with my tap water, very similar to Canna, Plagron etc. isn't it? just with the twist that I pay ~20% of the known brands. P2O5, K2O, MgO etc. are always the same as long as they are produced by a good manufacturer, Yara is a world leader in fertilizer production just not to be found in you general hydroponics or hardware store. Any other known manufacturer is fine as well, pick the cheapest. Check Hoocho on Youtube to see a guide on how to mix your own solutions, it ain't that difficult trust me. From week 5 onwards I also use Oxygen granulate (KMPS, CAS-70693-62-8, 2KHSO₅ * KHSO₄ * K₂SO₄) if you want to use this check pool supply stores and buy the cheapest. Keep this one dry, cool and dark. I used a old pill bottle to keep some ready to go because it came in a 1kg container and I only need 2-4g per serving + the bottle has a silica pack in the cap. From week 6 onwards I used Haifa Grow Clean for Details check week 6, I use this one as dry salts and add it directly to the tank, it does not interact in a bad way with the solution. For meassurements I use a generic 8in1 Meter "PH-W218" branded by many companies, as usual, check stores and buy the cheapest. (Check week 1 for an image of it) I got mine from Aliexpress for ~70€ it uses the Tuya app so you can always check your metrics and export them aswell. The PH and EC probe are accurate and are giving me stable results for almost 1 year now, I re calibrate the PH probe once in a while and it is tops 0.15 off after a month, always double check your results with PH drops/paper. Bluelab is... A LOT more expensive for less value. For the timelapses I use 2 Tappo C210 2k Cameras, these have the ability to make the stream available trough RTSP so that you can access it trough a link in a browser and that way I snap a Screenshot with a raspberry pi :) after that I just render it with blender to a timelapse. Sadly they seem to have trouble with the bright lights and I get image trouble over the course of the day, if you have a recommendation hit me up :) The script I use to take the Images: #!/bin/bash ########################################################################################################################################## ##### A script to save images from a rtsp capeable IP cam, Tapo C210 (2k image quality) for example in my case. ##### Images are saved in a directory named "2024_01_01" for example, it uses the "date" command within the system it is running on. ##### You can then render the images to a timelapse, I use blender for that. ########################################################################################################################################## RTSP_URL_LEFT="rtsp://:@:/stream1" #sets the variable for cam LEFT access RTSP_URL_RIGHT="rtsp://:@:/stream1" #sets the variable for cam RIGHT access while true; do TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S") #sets the timestamp variable DIRECTORYLEFT=/$(date +"%Y_%m_%d") #sets the directory variable with current day for LEFT DIRECTORYRIGHT=/$(date +"%Y_%m_%d") #sets the directory variable with current day for RIGHT mkdir -p "${DIRECTORYLEFT}" #makes a directory for each day if it doesn't exist for LEFT mkdir -p "${DIRECTORYRIGHT}" #makes a directory for each day if it doesn't exist for RIGHT ffmpeg -y -i "${RTSP_URL_LEFT}" -frames:v 1 -vf "format=yuvj420p" "${DIRECTORYLEFT}/${TIMESTAMP}.jpg" #captures a frame from the RTSP stream and save it as a JPEG image for LEFT ffmpeg -y -i "${RTSP_URL_RIGHT}" -frames:v 1 -vf "format=yuvj420p" "${DIRECTORYRIGHT}/${TIMESTAMP}.jpg" #captures a frame from the RTSP stream and save it as a JPEG image for RIGHT ################################################################################################################################ ##### Waits for 180 seconds, change that depending on how precise you want the timelapse to be, less waiting = more images ################################################################################################################################ sleep 180 done Hope you like my diary, leave a comment and a like if you like it :)
