420 Fastbuds Gelato Auto Week 7 These girls are doing good but absolutely refuse to go into flower it seems like. I'm going to give them another week to see if I start seeing preflower sites if not I'll put them outside with my outdoor plants to try and force them. Either way they're looking good and still showing no signs of any major issues. All In all Happy Growing

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. Had some ups and downs with this plant. mainly the extreme yellowing that was happening. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and I feel this has suffered in the end. The top best looking buds could have been larger and the lower ones could have been thicker. There is some smells with this plant but they are not pronounced. Just smells like mild basic weed, this would be one reason not to grow it, however, the crystals on this plant have been the most I've ever grown before. When trimming them every time the scissors snipped or the brush stroked I saw some falling down onto the tray. This plant would be great for making hash. had a good little ball of finger hash at the end of it and will be giving that to my friends to smoke or make a strong edible with. I don't plan on growing this strain out again, the lack of smells and the fact I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. most of the lower growth is quite larfy but will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 5.34oz or 151.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷151.6g = 2.22 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 151.6g = 0.24c/g It cost 24c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

Day 80 ~ Plants are looking and smelling great. I have been keeping an eye on the trichomes for the first plant and she looks like she will be ready right after the harvest moon! So I am excited to harvest her on Friday. While plant 2 is still another week and a half to 2 weeks away!

This week was the best week so far. My ladies doubled in size. They are now in full flowering and all my lol lovely ladies are doing Great we have switched to flowering nutrients and cranked up the lights. The new 4000 LED light is a monster as well .I can't wait to see how these autos do. So surprised at the results I'm getting from these lovely ladies. Still astonish to see autos at 3 ft tall. I will recommend a quality seed. Makes the grow so much easier. Each week is like watching a baby grow into an adult. Stay tuned. As always, I have a couple tricks up my sleeve to go ahead and fatten up the buds and really packing on the turps. Happy budding and as always, stay high

These kush are really beautiful and have huge peaks, they have 13 internodes and each of them is full of buds, quite large. They are really huge touch the ceiling, maybe one is too close to the lamps and I'm afraid you burn a little bit

Got a new camera lens so I hope pics are more interesting now!! Everything is great. Tent is getting stinky! Couple spots on some leaves so I added a bit more Calmag, but we are just coasting down the hill at this point! All the buds are fattening nicely and I'm looking forward to smoking soon!!! __________________________________________________________________ I'm pretty sure its just fade, but there are some brown spots around the flower. The lower growth is GREEEEEEN. I'm not worried at all and you can see I'm getting lovely photos! I took a sniff tonight and it smelt so good my toes curled a little!!! The ladies are glorious to behold, seriously, the flower is really blossoming and getting FAT! Cant wait to see what its like in 2 weeks!!!! will post video tomorrow __________________________________________________________________ My friend came over and I let him trim them up and give em a watering! He got a bit of light in there and buds are really fattening up and looking delicious!!!! Home Stretch BABY!!!! I dressed em up for the Fastbuds Holiday contest too. I think they came out festive AF!!!!

On 7/25 I finally got some time to spend with this girl because my Sunday Farmers Market was postponed a day due to rain, so I got pretty wet out in the garden😅 I removed the discolored fan leaves that were't getting enough light and a few interior branches growing inward that wouldn't amount to much. I used 4' bamboo stakes and PGarden EZ Soft Plant Ties to train her main branches out for better air circulation and light penetration. Since it won't be long until they start flowering I decided to give them a bit more P&K with the Neptune's Harvest Rose & Flowering and some good old fashioned Crosby's Molasses to get that sugar production going😋 After I was finished I brought the trim leaves back with me for my horse since he loves snacking on them😉

It is a vigorous plant with very uniform branching, high resinous and high yield, if you grow from seed there are a few different phenos that I got, equally as good

02.06. the previous week I took to cutting back everything except 8-10 branches per plant. Each arm remains with sprouts at the top only (like lollipoping but with the leaves still on). I contemplated for a while before doing this an compared with last year's growth. Definitely want less little stuff in the lower region and a cleaner structure overall. TMV on the Quick Sherbet leaves looks contained. White clover growing along well, gave 1g / L of greenhouse feeding bio enhancer. This week is mostly cloudy and rainy so expect slower growth but good progress.

Auch Woche 5 verlief ganz gut, obwohl ich zwischendurch ein paar Tage nicht zu Hause war. Nachdem der Stickstoffmangel zuvor weiter fortschritt (wenn auch etwas langsamer), entschied ich mich vor dem ersten Gießen der Woche dazu, doch mal neuen Fish-Mix aus dem Baumarkt zu holen und auch die anderen Fläschchen meines BioBizz Vorrates mal zu erneuen. Ich denke, dass die über 2 Jahre alten Präparate in meinem Regal, wohl doch nicht mehr so "potent" waren. Gegossen wurde dann auch diese Woche 2 mal: 1. Gießvorgang: Tag 30, insgesamt 3 Liter (2.5ml/l Fish-Mix, 1ml/l Alg-A-Mic, 2ml/l Bio-Heaven, ca. 0.24g/l Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.4, EC-Wert ~1.8mS/cm, Topfgewicht vorher ca. 5.8kg, nachher ca. 7.5kg) 2. Gießvorgang: Tag 35, insgesamt 3.5 Liter (2.5ml/l Fish-Mix, 1ml/l Alg-A-Mic, 2ml/l Bio-Heaven, ca. 0.24g/l Bittersalz, pH-Wert ~6.4, EC-Wert ~1.8mS/cm, Topfgewicht vorher ca. 5.1kg, nachher ca. 7.4kg) Zusätzlich gab es vor meiner Abreise an Tag 31 noch mal eine kleine Blattdüngung mit 1ml/l Fish-Mix. Das Licht blieb die Woche über unverändert. Nach meiner Rückkehr an Tag 35 sah die Pflanze wesentlich fitter und gesünder aus, als noch zu Beginn der Woche. Die Zwischendurch gewachsenen Blätter hatten ein sattes, gesundes Grün und die Aufhellung von unten nach oben scheint sich vorerst nicht weiter fortzusetzen. Der Drain hatte diese Woche bei beiden Gießvorgängen einen relativ stabilen pH-Wert von ~6.4. Mit etwas Glück, sollten also so langsam die pH-Probleme und Nährstoffmängel unter Kontrolle sein. Für den Beginn von Woche 6 ist dann das zweite Topping geplant.

Just chopped these 3 girls! Drying day 5: damn I’m so amazed of the thricome production on this one! Looking like sparkling diamonds covering the buds! Tastes good, earthy/woody flavor, will need to dry some more and cure then it will be a 10/10 smoke!! Day 8 drying: okay 2 of 3 plants are finished small bud sickest buds I ever seen and smells amazing

Una delle 2 Gorilla 🦍 è in carenza con puntini color ferro arrugginito e foglie 🍁 molto chiare oltre che la fioritura sembra leggermente indietro rispetto alla sorella 👧 tutto perché all inizio della vegetativa ho fatto esperimento con lo zucchero e non l’avessi mai 👎 fatto 😅 Ora proverò a sciacquare 🚿 con acqua a ph neutro in abbondanza sperando di togliere i sali in eccesso 🤞😃

Bud sites forming fast, awesome node spacing on a few in particular....their size is pretty close to what i was anticipating for stretch, I may do a medium defoliation once more before letting them just do their thing, i really hate stressing them much beyond 3 weeks of flower...
