This weeks a little early, wanted to show the cut. Going to flower in 1-2 weeks depending on how she recovers.

No surprises. Topping has been done at this point. Temperature and humidity controlled as much as possible. Some bending and light intensity increase. A 2x4 tent is actually too small to bring two plants to the height and spread that I would have liked. Ideal for one plant. Targeted not to have these 2 tent plants grow higher than 36” to avoid overcrowding.

It appears the stretch phase for this plant is indeed about two weeks long. We have seen another foot of growth compared to last weeks entry. With basically no growth seen in the past two or three days, it does appear that the stretch phase has ended. Although I will certainly update on height as we keep going. The entire reservoir of the VIVOSUN automatic watering base has been emptying about every two days recently. The plant is thirsty and is taking up all the nutrients we’ve given it. Each time I replaced the reservoir, I’m increasing an additional 3 mL per gallon of Athena Grow A and Grow B. We started at six, then nine, and the watering yesterday was a full 12 mL per gallon. I am still seeing yellowing at the tips of our leaves, about 1 to 2 mm long, which is ideal and indicates that our plant is right on the edge of maximizing its nutrient uptake. Higher nutrients would be recommended if this plant were not potted in live soil. However, the FFOF soil continues to provide sufficient nutrition w/ our augmentation with the Athena nutrients. In an effort to get an idea of the full shape and lifecycle of this plant, we have continued without any stressing techniques on the plant. I have only used some of the lower branches to hold down some of the larger fan leaves to allow for more light to some of the Bud sites, as you can see in the video posted. Overall, we are really excited to be on schedule and to see this explosive plant. I also included a comparison shot of this plant with the Chem diesel X banana daddy auto, which was planted only a couple of days after the plantet of the grapes. It really shows just how fast this plant has grown, and shows why FastBuds is so loved.

Plants at the end of week 4. #4 start to recover its vigour, #3 perfect growth, #6 slow vertical growth, side branches are suffocating. Little bonus - how different Ca lockout looks depending on the pH level. Got new drainage trays, from ‪@DrainMasterDE‬ thats awesome, big volume, convenient access. Many thx!

Week 11 has better defined picture of this cultivar in her final phase. Ended up being exactly 12 weeks from seed. Smells delicious will be hanging whole as the humidity was initially very low at 45% now with a humidifier currently sitting at 55% and 70 Deg which is not bad. She received 48hrs of darkness.

Hello This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Will be flushing for the next 2 weeks. They got their last nutrient feeding... It will be just ph adjusted tap water from here to the end. I can't figure out why 2 plants leaves are turning yellow, If it was heat stress they should all look the same Plant #2 has more yellow leaves than Plant #1 has some and Plant #3 hardly has any yellow leaves. They've all got the same treatment. They all got a big spoonful of Cal-Mag powder 1/2 way through flowering. Called Wollammo.com Maybe plant #2 is finishing earlier than the rest... I'll check the resin for amber crystals when I'm done... The buds are dense but not quite rock hard. The secondary buds are dense too. I hope they get denser in the last 2 weeks. Nice smells with the squeeze the bud and smell your fingers test. My wife said... when she smell my fingers... "Mmm... Delicious" Smells similar to the Dos Si Dos 33 a sweet musky desert smell, it also has hints of wood too. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

Sunday, 27-02-2022 Fungicidal treatment with potassium bicarbonate on 20-02-2022 resulted in significant leaf burn on plants after foliar spray of 8.9 ml/liter potassium bicarbonate with unmeasured amount of Breakthru sticker spreader. I had dusted the plants and pots with insecticidal powder the night before and there seemed to be no ill effects. Rain fell that same night and the leaves were splashed with dirt from the pots so I decided to "rinse" them off with a fungicidal spray of potassium bicarbonate. At the time I was confident this would have no ill effects but now I am wondering if I just didn't remember previous phytotoxic effects caused by this spray. I am also thinking that because I didn't measure the amount of sticker spreader, I may have overdosed the mix and that caused some of the burning by literally breaking through any protective covering on the leaves and possibly penetrating the plant cells. As I sprayed the leaves water soaked spots immediately appeared and within a few hours there was obvious curling and burn, particularly on spots that had small clumps of insecticidal powder. Throughout this past week the visual symptoms of phytotoxicity progressed so much that by the middle of the week I settled my mind that this grow would be terminated this weekend. On Friday night when I came home and saw the plants in the dark I was more hopeful and in the light of day on Saturday morning I was quite pleased with their recovery. Lots of the oldest fan leaves were almost completely brown and yellow with light green veins and some newer leaver have been deformed. Thankfully there is little visual damage to most of the newest growth and after removing the worst of the damaged leaves I am remain hopeful for this grow. Continuing my theme of living in the moment of the grow, I am choosing to think of this incident two ways. First as a "trial by fire" for the plants that only the strongest leaves survived and second as chemical pruning of leaves that I would have removed anyway, just not quite yet. I will be seeking thoughts on the forum as to whether these plants still have hope or if unseen damage has been done that will eventually ruin them. Regardless, I will progress with this grow as long as possible to see for myself what the actual long term effects are. I have also noted what seem to be big hairy balls growing on plant #2 and have asked the forum their opinion. In keeping with my plan to quadline these plants I have clipped the last untopped plant and removed nodes 1 and 2 of all plants. After doing these procedures the plants really just look like heavily defoliated specimens waiting for further training, I am pleased. Despite the phytotoxicity, there was enough growth of the 4 new stems of plants 3-5 that I was able to tie them down. I am waiting for confirmation that #2 is a male to cull it, if not I will tie it down as well. Only fed yesterday because I was watching to see how the plants would do over the week. Wednesday, 02-03-2022 Culled confirmed male plant, thanks @m0use 😃👊! Fed and foliar sprayed with 12 ml/gal CAB and 7.5 ml/gal Cytokin. Used 9ml Ph down in 5 gallon tap water. Ph using ph paper 😞 was approximately 5.0 so I added unph'd 500 ml tapwater to my jug and added the 5.0 water to complete the gallon. Ph was approximately 6.

Hola compañero y apasionado del cultivo 🤜🤛 Hemos tenido un tiempito de 12*12 dentro de nuestro tent casero, la luz nueva Nagasaki de BioLED Lighting ha demostrado ser eficiente y en unos exactos 7dias hemos visto los primeros signos de floración! Para ser exactos junto con la luna llena del 24 de abril el cambio se vió de manera instantánea! Por el día no había signos de sexo y a la noche ya estaban los primeros pistilos y sacos de polen en sus lugares (No sé si esto sea parte de el cambio o solo la cantidad exacta de horas en su periodo de floración) Al primer signo de floración ellas volvieron a la carpa madre con 19hs de iluminación bajo una TS 1000 . Ph: 6.1-6.5 EC: 900 100+/100- HR: 65% 5+/5-. C⁰: 19-28% La estructura se estiró muy bien y ellas toman una forma hermosa 💪🏽 Growwwwwwwww Saludos y paz para todos. 💐💚🤜🤛💚💐

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range.
