Now they are a bit bigger , this is the start of week 2 , now day 19 in real time from germination. I would appreciate any help to maximise the yield. I feed around 500-600 ppm. How much should the drain be ? I have to plants struggling, one had 500 run off , should I give nutes or flush them more ?

Day 60 – Dancing with Nature What a joy this lady is turning out to be! She continues to thrive under the unpredictable UK skies — basking in sunlight one moment, then embracing gentle showers and cloud cover the next. There’s something magical about seeing her adapt so effortlessly to nature’s rhythm without any artificial boost or intervention. Today marks her 60th day, and she’s standing proud at around 80cm, now fully settled into her flowering phase. In celebration, I gently sprinkled three teaspoons of Plagron Bat Guano over the soil — a natural phosphorus-rich kick to support vigorous flower development and promote dense bud formation in the coming weeks. It’s a subtle but effective way to stimulate her floral energy without disrupting the soil’s microbial harmony. Visually, she’s starting to reveal her potential. Bud sites are forming nicely, with promising pistil clusters at every top. The deep green foliage, wide open to catch every ray of sunlight, signals balanced nutrition, strong roots, and a resilient phenotype. No signs of stress from fluctuating weather or wind exposure, which speaks volumes about the Fast Buds genetics powering this grow. This grow has been all about minimal input — just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a homemade super soil blend. No tents, no artificial lights, no pampering. Just trust in the soil, the sun, and the strain. The fact that she’s developing so gracefully shows that outdoor growing in the UK is not only possible — it’s rewarding. Let’s see how she responds to the bat guano boost in the next few days. I have a good feeling she’ll thank me with thicker, more resinous blooms soon. 🌿

Plants are commencing flush! 10/12 plants looking ripe enough to come down. Some are a little behind. Flush will be 5 days with solution and 3 days plain water with daily res change. Check out the video!

This week I added a new controller to handle up to 8 functions. I installed a new heater, my old humidifier and some LED strips to the controller. Targeting a VPD at 1.0 day and night. Trying to keep the nutrient ppm under 900 and ph at 6.0 in the reservoirs. Ordered a second ph pen because I don’t trust my readings. Will be here by Thursday. Friday: Checked the ppm in the reservoirs and it’s at 1,000. Added more RO water with extra nitrogen to bring the ppm level down to 925. Saturday: I installed an updated AC Infinity controller 69 Pro Plus (controls 8 pieces of equipment) which allowed me to add a humidifier, corner LEDs and a heater to the controller. Overall I’m extremely impressed with this AC Infinity equipment. My VPD is within the range I want to achieve (.8-1.1). I programmed it to maintain 78 degrees and 67% humidity during the day, 73 degrees and 63% humidity at night. Charts posted also show the impact of an open tent compared to the closed environment. The heater is constantly pushing fresh air into the tent, so I don’t need to cycle the exhaust fan often. Rewired the tent again and moved the controller later that night. I mounted the controller on the wall. Added Mars Hydro UV/IR lighting to fill out all 8 slots on the controller. Sunday: I checked the ph in the reservoirs (6.8….i had filled it with 6.0 ph) and the ppm (1200 ppm…I had filled it with 900). So evaporation and possibly a mismeasurement of ph. I topped ff reservoirs with slightly stronger nutes and adjusted ph to 5.8 in the reservoirs. Poor magnesium absorption could be driving some leaf yellowing. Effective tomorrow, I’m switching over to Heads Formula which consistently feeds GH Flora series nutes at Micro (6ml/g), Bloom (9ml/g) and cal mag (3ml/g). Turned on the UV/IR lights for 3 minutes every 8 hours. I’m easing the plants up to 5 minutes every 6 hours which will provide the recommended 20 minutes of IR per day. This will help the plants stretch a little more. Monday: checked ph and ppm in reservoirs. 6.1ph and 880ppm. VPD remains stable except when I open the tent. Tuesday: checked ph (6.4) and ppm (880) in reservoirs. Added .5ml of ph down to two reservoirs. Still see slight yellowing between the veins but it’s not getting worse (might be improving). Adjusting ph down to 6.0 target might have solved this. The plants grew by 1-2” last night…..is the infrared light working already? Decided to mix up fresh nutes for the reservoirs following Heads formula. 6ml Micro and 9ml Bloom per gallon of RO water. Added 5 ml of CalMag too. Ending ppm was 1080 which is too high, so I diluted down to 880 with RO water. 6.0 ph. Wednesday: plants grew another .75 inches last night. I topped above the 5th node. Thursday: added RO water with heavy cal mag to reservoirs to increase amount of CalMag available.

Hello everyone! I promised to track this grow very closely this time and ufortunately life got in the way. Here is a quick sumup of the grow. First of all- One of the sour stomper plants unfortunately didn't make it. It died at about week 4. The main stem somehow had rubbed/broken down. That's why it was falling down. It was almost like a mini beaver had chewed it off at the point where the stem touches the riot rooter. At first I thought nothing much of it, maybe it hasn't been rooted in quite well yet or something. And I was constantly touiching it when watering, that made it worse. Soo the leaves were dropping and the plant looked very weak. Then I decided cut thr rapid rooters top layer and found out the severity of the problem. Tried to tape it up and other things, but it was too late. At the end it appeared all good as the remaing plants got so big the I had some space issue so I wouldn't have been able to fit another plant in anyway. At that time I finally made my self-draining saucers. I took me a while and a lot of effort, but finally they were ready and working well. I also installed the self watering system and flowering was starting. Pretty soon I started noticing weird leaf symtoms. Brown spots, different kind. Some plants had it more, some less. Sour Stomper looked pretty good throughout the grow. Mango smiles seemed sensitive and Strawberry Nuggs were pretty strong until the end. The grow was basically me experimenting with the setup- changing watering schedules , changing ppm, ph and all that stuff to keep the leaves looking healthy and it was very hard I have to admit. Probably my hardest grow in that regard. But somehow, the bud leaves remained healthy and the buds really fattened up good. I got away with an amzing 700G dry bud harvest which was def a new record from one grow. And the bud quality is very good too! Next time definetly no more than 4 plants as they got pretty big and I thought it was a little overcrowded. I was doing some good defoliation too. I should have defolited strawberry nugs more tho. Sour Stomper got some amazing bud development from top to bottom because it was was growing next to strawberry nuggets which were really small most of the grow. They actually took the most time to harvest even longer than Mango smile. Mango smiles were ready quite early. Sour Stomper was just in time! I topped sour stomper and both Mangoi smiles, left SNs both normal. Looking back at it, the way I grow them, Should have topped SNs too. Would probably have more space in the middle and longer side branches. Probably wouldn't have been as bushy! I followed the full Terra aquatica feed chart until the end. I was supplementing with CalMag a lot as I thought the symptoms could have been from a CalMag deficiency as this was my first grow with RO water. Overall a very challenging but good grow at the end. First time no mold problems. A record breaking yield for me. Basically surpassed the upper limit for all plant probable harvest sizes. Got good smelling quality bud. Very happy overall and will continue experimenting with Mephisto beans in the future for sure! I guess what I like the most about Mephisto is how close to description the plant is, very stable genes in that regard. Next time I will also have to start feeding plants higher PPM feed faster at the very start. and during flowering. But still not 100% sure what caused the leaf symptoms.

I’m overjoyed with the phenos this strain is producing, strong vibrant purples with some serious flavour profiles! Scent Profiles we have: Candy Lemon Sherbet 🍬🍋 Sweet & Piney Diesel 🍭🌲⛽️ Sweet & Tangy Tropical Punch 🏝️🥊 Alongside this, these beauties are the frostiest and the most insanely dense koala looking nugs I’ve ever produced!

The ladies are growing fine and faster. Fertigating till run-off. Light increased at 50%

GO ETHOS, GO ETHOS GO!!!!! this may be the absolute 8th wonder of the world, look at those ladies!!! Oooo la laaa... just started week 5 and added some Purpinator to the mix.. see how she goes. And you notice that little fancy C02 rockin in style in the corner 😎

Gonna a bit more NITROGEN!☘️

Hello everyone, I am 5 days to late with the diary update because this plant lost on Saturday all of it's roots, so I treated her with hydrogen peroxide and after 5 days everything looks okay again. I defoliated her and stopped adding canna rhizotonic to the reservoir as this must be the reason for the rootrot watertemperature don't exceed 19.4 degrees celsius. I will post the next update in 2 days again. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather

Woche 3 | Tag 16 Diese Woche machen die Gorilla Cookies richtig Spaß. Alle Pflanzen sehen gesund, zufrieden und stabil aus – genau so, wie man sie in diesem Stadium sehen will. 🌿 Eindruck auf den ersten Blick Sattes Grün, schöne Blattspannung, nichts hängt, nichts wirkt überfordert. Die Pflanzen stehen da wie: „Passt alles, lass uns einfach wachsen.“ Kein Stress sichtbar, keine komischen Flecken, keine Drama-Blätter. 📐 Wachstum & Aufbau Der Wuchs ist kompakt, nicht gestreckt, nicht gedrungen. Die Internodien sind angenehm kurz und die Seitentriebe melden sich langsam zu Wort. Der Haupttrieb führt zwar noch, aber nicht dominant – perfekt, um jetzt einzugreifen. Ganz ehrlich: Besser kann das Timing für LST kaum sein. Die Stiele sind noch weich, die Pflanze stark genug und mental 😄 absolut bereit. 🍃 Blätter Große, gesunde Fächerblätter – richtige Solarpanels. Die Blätter machen gerade exakt das, was sie sollen: Energie sammeln. 🌡️ Stress-Check Kein Über- oder Unterdüngungs-Gefühl Kein Hitze- oder Lichtstress Keine Verletzungen Die Pflanzen wirken ruhig und selbstbewusst. Genau das willst du bei einer Autoflower. 🧠 Autoflower-Gefühl Für Tag 16 sind sie voll im Soll, vielleicht sogar leicht drüber. Nicht wegen Größe, sondern wegen Struktur – und die entscheidet später über den Ertrag. Man merkt: 👉 Gute Bedingungen 👉 Sauberer Gießrhythmus 👉 Kein unnötiges Rumgefummel

2022-11-21 Those Plants are frosty like winter. holy moly I got 4 female Plants and 2 Phenos One is shorter, the other one larger, but both are fantastic frosty tomorrow i show you the ones in the Urban Chili, thses Pics are fro My Floweringroom Iam using the urban Chili 2.0 and the urban Chili 3.0 the biggest Difference is the Light the urban Chili 3.0 has 20 watts more https://urbanchili.eu/en/growbox-specification/ All Plants look fine, lets see what the next Week brings. so far so good

Weather is getting a bit better this week. Almost no rain anymore and much more sun comparing to last week. Blueberry Ghost OG and Kali AK still don't want to start flowering, but they slowed down from growing taller at least, so there are hope of they to start flowering soon (hopefully).

Chopped the Gorilla Glue. I definitely think I stunted it a bit with the HST, which cracked the main stem open. Also, while learning how to water properly. I couldn’t be happier with myself and results though. Will have more photos and details to come after drying process. Thanks again to everyone who has help me getting to this point. 🤘💚

Boy oh boy look at these babies grow I'm studying them more and more to ensure they are happy. I've notice that gelato 41 is producing bud spots like thats what it was ment for. Tropi cherry is coming along but not as fast as G41, and runtz muffin im a little disappointed in but i believe that is my fault for im still new and have only grown 1 plant prior to these 3. It also doesnt help i had to cut the vegitation cycle by 2 weeks as well. and further more I was at least able to give 2 clones away, the rest were still good but couldn't find them homes so i had to throw them away. Next time I'll have all the room they need and can't wait to make mother plants of my favorites.

Semana 7 de flora,pegou muita chuva e perdi alguns tricomas mas estão se recuperando,as flores estão gordas e densas,com muitos tricomas, cheiro doce com notas cítricas e terrosas

The Mandarin Squeeze sisters are growing good. They got a solution change today. The colas are bulking and getting a lot of frost on and around them. She has not started smelling strong yet. That is comming I am sure. Everything is looking really good. Nothing more to report at the moment.
