Hey guys! Thanks for stopping in to check out my babies! This is week 2 of flower (days 8-14). This week things really seemed to take off! 🔥 Plants were happy all week long and seemed to grow almost an 1” per day if not more. Buds are developing nicely, no smell yet but nice to see them stackin’. I cut out anything under the trellis that would end up being popcorn buds so the plants could focus on the main colas. Hoping I’ll just have to pull a few leaves here and there from now on. The New Floraflex drip system has been nice! 💯 It has made watering easier and more automated. Water distribution isn’t perfect but I’m sure they aren’t 100% level either. Plants should stop stretching after this next week and should start putting on some size! Stoked to see what these girls can do in week 3! Day by day break down: Day 8 Cut out some lower growth/ leaves blocking bud sites Day 9 Fed all 6 plants. PH: 6.11, PPM: 1136 Day 10 Plants look great. Let them do their thing. Day 12 Fed al 6 plants. PH: 6.05, PPM: 1264 Day 14 sitting at 29” tall right now. Not so stressed on height being be issue. Thinking they might be around 35-40” tall at the max. Stay tuned for next weeks post to see how much these ladies have thickened up!

I think they are closer to done than I previously thought. All clear on trichomes though. Two more weeks?

Welcome to another week in the garden ladies and gents were on the start of week 7 !! Almost time to flower these young ladies !! They've healed up nicely from being topped and are getting bushy quickly I might have time to top them one last time before flower but I haven't decided its I'm going too yet or not . In any case stay tuned folks were about to amp this show up real soon !! Video update coming up shortly !!!!! Shout out to all the people who stop in to check out the diary on these awesome test seeds !! Happy Growing! -V.G Day#43 They're really cruising along I love the growth that I'm getting that's for sure ! Day#1F Flipped lights , Watered 1.5 L each at 580 PPM . LET THE SHOW BEGIN!!! Day#2F They seem to really enjoy the nute line up ! They are growing well , Gonna slow down on the nitrogen . Day#3F The seem they're liking the new line up seem to really enjoy being in 12-12 lighting now :D Day#4F They're growing but not really a full blown stretch yet . Gonna flush the medium a bit before I continue to jam nutes in Day#5F Watered both ladies no nutes 0 ppm 4L each . Run off for #2 987 and #1 1347 gonna continue to just water for a few more . Day#6F Pictures N/A Ladies are responding well to the vast amount of water , Day#1 since watering .

Hi everyone, well I got excited when i saw the fast buds outdoor competition, i just wrote them a message all like "what strain do you recommend?" and they wrote back every strain i didnt have so that s like green crack cali snow, some other ones, i'm kinda bummed but it's whatever plenty of fastbuds in the fridge so i try to get set up and literally on the day i want to start i get a hat and those strains in the mail so i was like damn thank god i send my address to people on growdiaries lol #safetyfirst My set up is pretty simple i'm using a 5 gal pot branded AZTech Genetics, seems it's non woven and fairly decent quality but what do i know ? 😅 anyway i'm sort of honing in my technique but i ran out of micro nutrients so idk what's gonna happen, let's see what i figure out on the way. that's later on, right now my plants got 15gs of trychoderma, myco and bacilusses mixed into the soil, planted one seed straight drop, didnt sprout, actuvated two more seeds in smart protein solution then planted one and it cracked the surface the same day, covered it and let it sit. Planted random companion plants with the weed this time, i think it's really exciting how you can see all the little sprout coming up at the same time. Let's see how this goes, last year i had spider mites and inchworms 🚀 Day 7 i've watered 1L 3 times this week with 1ml/L smart proteins each time, first watering and all the seeds sprouted, by the second watering i noticed the two other cali snows also popped, now i have three plants in one pot which i need to separate... does anyone want/need an extra seedling or two? hit me up before you drop by to pick them up if you want them ! see how all the companion plants and the cali snows are growing robustly? basically with the bowl on top their making their own atmosphere i'm guessing it hits the high 80s in RH inside there, 80RH 29°C .... when i watered them i intentionally left some on the glass bowl, the smart proteins have optical properties but i dont know what they are yet ha ! on to the next week, peace ! 🚀

Here we go 😊 Planning & germination 👍 The strain is Chunky Cookies x Blackberry Gelato by Amsterdam Genetics. I´m really looking forward to this run, the SpectrumX from Medicgrow with build in PPFD, 4 spectrums V1, F1, VS, FS and 880 Watt is definitely serious business 👊 Trying out a new soil in this grow. The plant mulch is an exclusive mixture of harped mulch, nutrient-rich natural fertiliser, hill sand and long-term matured compost. The mixture provides a porous and airy structure, which ensures that both water and nutrients are easily accessible to the plant's roots. Stay tuned and Keep it green 😎

Good yielder, give them least 9 week flowering. Can take a good feed, i suggest to cut of N last 2 weeks. Had 2 pheno. 1 is very bubblegum type of smell and the other is just slight fruity. Harvested 3 plants. 1 was 56.20 dry at 52%RH 2 was 52.33 grams dry at 52%RH 3 was 80.23 grams dry at 55%rh Total=188.76 grams for 3 plants All the plants Peyote critical Orange SHerbert Candy Dawg where flowered under 300W Led Organic way. Total sum of grams for all plants 401.32 grams = 1.3333gram per watt Will i be growing this for the future? Nope, i'm looking for something more unique for my taste. Imo pretty generic kind of weed. Will update later for taste after 4 week cure

Pues HOY, miercoles 22 de abril, hago el cambio de fotoperiodo, a 14-14! De momento todo va según lo planeado, main lining hasta este punto, vigorosas y recias, se sienten muy sanas y beben muchisimo, de momento 3 litros por planta cada dos dias, veremos a ver ahora con la floracion. Ahora esta primera semana voy a hacerle diferentes aplicaciones buscando cosas jajajajaja hoy la voy a hacer aplicación foliar del delta y no recuerdo si tocaba tambien a riego. Luego, algo que tengo ganas de ver, es usar el calcio ahora entre esta semana y la siguiente de aplicación foliar, pero en esta ocasión no solo para fortalecer la planta, sino para activar la hormona Ca²+ creo que se llama, que en sí es el mensajero de la planta que le dice, eeehh, haz mas resina que estás tirando poca! Y así la fuerza.. habrá que ver jajaja pero bueno, hoy arrancan las 14 horas de luz y 14 horas de oscuridad 🔥🔥 Las plantas, el dosel lo tienen sobre los 40cm, espero no tener que hacer super cropping, no soy fan. Actualización jueves 23-04-2026: el video es del despertar tras sus primeras 14h de oscuridad. Aún no hay porqué ver nada respecto al cambio de fotoperiodo, lo interesante es lo vigorosas que están en el momento del cambio 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Ahhrrrrrggggghhhh PH imbalances! Don't panic. We got this. After a few theories and a bunch of research what I originally thought was light stress then a Cal Mag deficiency. Then I saw leaf damage and thought of Thrips. Wrong wrong and wronger. Turns out the soil PH is all out if wack. By which I mean waaaaaay too high. Like almost 8. That's what I get for not thinking PH was nOT tHaT BiG a dEaL. Now equipped with my PH and TDS meters and a little PH up and PH Down from Standard Hydroponics we can get thing back into balance. Lots of leaf growth this week. Looks like flowering is right around the corner. This will probably be the last week I'll feed her Grow Girls Grow from DSN and switch to Bloom Baby Bloom next week. I've also done some defoliation this week to get light to some of the bud sites. Again I had no idea LST was this powerful, she's gonna have such pretty flowers Looking forward to Bloom 🌹🚀🌻😎

All in all every strain is doing great! Blueberry is the closes to finishing followed by chemdawg and lastly the Somango I just flipped little over a week ago so still have a little while to go with her! Blueberry has a pungent and fresh berries/citrus aroma going on while the chemdawg has the infamous og odor no doubt og is related to it haha. Thanks for checking it out! XD ..sorry for the delayed update

Tastes like lemonade with a power kick to it of something else dank! She smokes great she’s a bit dry to the touch but I think that was down to that high heat phase I had to deal with! But great smoke has me energetic at first then KAPOW kick ass time! Firstly the colors omg so amazing purple from the get go and when the buds develop and dried they’re even more vivid, with hints of pink and orange coming through! Through the grow I had some rust looking spots come up on the lower leaves! Couldn’t identify the problem even fed her with cal mag and kept an eye on PH but no clear findings?! Later down the line I had the heat rise to 34-36 and made her foxtail a little but still got very dense buds out of her mainly the size of a jam jar! The main cola was a little bigger but very leafy had to do a mega wet trim! But will trim again after a few days of curing! Will definitely be growing again! She would of been a bigger beast if I topped her! And if the heat didn’t kick in then she would of developed better too! Fastbuds have amazing genetics I’ll be sure to be doing up a few more! She tastes like lemonade and that’s straight After dry (5days brown bags at 20c humidity 40%) I can tell some more fruits are to come through during cure as I tasted some tropical burst kick in at some point so excited to see what the result is in a month!

Week 8/11 - 14/11 I changed the inhale fan but didnt solve the humidity problema but improved the air flow. I think i need a powerfull exhaust system but i will buy another One just in the next grow.

Planned is doing very well. Bud seemed to be much smaller since pollinated. Probably 2 weeks to go for the seeds. Just picked one today. Still pretty green

Week 35 the diary won’t let me update the week number manually. Did a to dress feeding yesterday 7/5/25. Have been feeding every watering since I noticed yellowing leaves after my last top dress feeding. Reason being was I assumed my organic nutrients hadn’t broken down and became available. In retrospect she probably was just hungrier than the top dressed feeding. I will also feed on a 3 week schedule rather than a 4 week schedule moving forward. Additionally when I run out of Gaia Green I’m going to purchase Down to Earth to give it a whirl. I’m still tweaking my nutrients/ light setup to achieve dense great tasting buds . I moved her from the center to the right side in attempt to train her to fill more of the tent. I upped her liquid nutrient feeding lately as well to try & get her growing more rapidly. I did a heavy defoliation & retrellised her down again. About 4 days after her heavy defoliation I turned around and lollipoped her. After defoliation & lolipoping I made 18-20 cereal milk clones haphazardly to see what takes and what doesn’t with ZERO tlc. I don’t need/want the clones but i do believe it is a good practice & may come in handy after this grow. My humidistat controller has been down for atleast 2 months the VPD has been fucked this entire time. We’ve just been making do. If I would have noticed water droplets on my overlapping leaves I would have been more motivated to fix it before today. So on today I reprogrammed my humidistat controller, reinserted the humidifier for the clones sake & to regain control over tent VPD to encourage rapid growth again. Lastly considering pinching stem tops to encourage a more rapid branching to finish filling tent. RRRRREEEAAAAALLLLLYYYYYY kicking myself in the rear for allowing this plant to die 70% losing 100% of the plants mass only regrowing 50% of itself after 4 weeks of recovery. I lost SOOOOOOO much time & mass vegging this plant out. I’d be flipping this plant to flower now if i I hadn’t gotten overwhelmed. Next FEEDING 7/26. Hopefully a veg/bloom feeding if I can encourage rapid growth . I’ve really taken a SUPER LAZY APPROACH TO GROWING THIS LADY as well as all my other plants . I’m still going to be a lazy fuck for my other plants but I am going to buckle down on pouring into this plant all mu hopes and expectations to hopefully get out all those same hopes and expectations lol . If you’re enjoying this so far give us a like !

Still feeding at full strength with 20% run off. I've defoliated the main fan leaves. Ill keep them rootbound untill I'm ready to re pot and switch to flower.

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady is by far the bushyist plant with the most branches she also didn't stretch much and is packed with bud sites ,

Week 6, quick root flash. All going very well the nutrients are at 2.5ml/l now, vita race weekly, bacillus mix. Plant started to flower properly and the stretch is on its way. Water at ph 6-6.5. I always try to keep the bottom clean so I do multiple clean ups of lower leaves and braches every week. Also doing this focuses the energy of the plant to the top and she doesn't waste time making popcorn buds.

Omg 👀👀👀she stacking stacking

This week I raised the light a few inches. I also removed the CO2 dispenser as it seemed like I was meddling to much. The humidity levels remained in the 50's so I removed the watering can. Overall, things remained much the same. My main takeaway this week was "stop doing things". Leave the plants alone. I'm learning that the plants respond negatively to changes in their environment. Let them be and they'll figure out how to survive.

Ordered a scale the other day so should have some more numbers tomorrow! Not going to sample anything until I get the scale, then I'll update with some more details.
