Day 63- Switched to plain ph’d water at the end of the week. Probably going to be 2 more in the upcoming week as they finish off. #1 is the tallest, and has some big buds, but are bit looser than the rest. #2 has gone beast mode, she is fattening and had hard dense nugs from top to bottom. #3 was a slow start but is quickly gaining on her sister’s. She has about 1 week longer than the rest, but is hard and dense, and is greasy! Did a big defoliation mostly to help ease the final trim when it comes, but to also allow for a little more trichome development as they finish up the remaining nutrients. It’s been a much cooler week so I have been gradually increasing the light intensity to get a final push for some weight and trichome production. Running at about 95% intensity at the moment with the tent hovering around 79-81 degrees freedom units. Checking trichomes daily with my 30x jewellers loupe, mostly cloudy now, with anlmost no amber popping up, just a few on the leaves. I’m watching my other strain as well, hoping the timing will be right for both to come down. I’m not in a rush, really want to maximize these buds, they are already very hard, and should be a good haul. Happy Gardening ❤️🌱🇨🇦😎💨

8/17/19 I took 6 more clones prior to spraying her with silver. She has been outside for 1 week. I can already smell the tangerine. 😁 Time will tell. The clones are growing like crazy. My original date to start flowering the first 8 maybe more was 9/7/19.... but its going to get too crowded really soon. 30 plants in a 2 foot × 3 foot area gets tight quickly. And watering is a f××king nightmare daily... I actually lift each plant every day to see if it needs water. It never lies, you can always feel it. It's the best way to know. My light is wonderful...I could not be happier. It's an HLG 100 V2 4000k Quantum board. I still have two 19w lights on the side but I will move them to the second level. To use all my space. I got 6 more babies coming.

6 1/2 weeks into flower and they are packing on weight big time now. Giving them bloom booster and molasses and water. Will stop the bloom booster this weekend since I want them to have plenty of time to flush out. The girls are drinking a phenomenal amount at the moment, they are drinking every drop I'm giving them. Getting a bit of yellowing on the lower leaves BUT that is to be expected this close to harvest. Other than that they are very healthy. Uploaded a short video showing some of the ladies. This has been without a doubt the EASIEST grow I have ever done and it looks like the yield will be quite respectable.

84 days!!!! I came back after a 12-day vacation, and immediately rushed to cross it:) it's a pity that I didn't see her last 12 days, I only got a few photos while I was away :) but that's the point:) The girl coped with nature's challenges really well, there were cold, rainy, windy days that she endured, but there were also very hot days +35° C during which she warmed herself on the northern balcony where the sun shines for a maximum of 5 hours under ideal conditions:) but the result makes me very satisfied and happy, a cool strain :) good luck to everyone, the update will be after the harvest dries out:).

Day 10: Gelato A hasn't popped yet. Gelato B has.

It worked! After 30 days away, I returned home to see if automating the first 30 days of this grow using the Blumat watering system and automated fan from AC Infinity worked. Day 36 - I defoliated quite a few large fan leaved and did some LST to expose some flowers to light.

*********Week 6 (Flower week) - January 14 to 20, 2020 (Days 36 to 42 from germination) The week went by pretty quick and overall and started to show more positivity. She finally set her buds 👍 and has taken off with more growth😃.....stretching. Wrestled with the idea that she might be a photo rather than an auto, had that one before, and wanted to ensure she was not. Moved her into the veg tent and with the lower light intensity and temperature she seemed to relax and finally set her bud sites......she is an auto......so why the heck so long to flip? Genetic issue or normal growth pattern??? Again, happy to see the growth but she will not be a producer of quantity so hoping the quality will be there😯😕😯 Have done some further cleaning on the bottom and removed a couple of small growing nodes. The branches were tiny and I want to keep her focused on the thicker branches she already has. Introduced Massive this week for bud density. She has become tall and lanky over the last two weeks. Not at all the growth pattern I was expecting.......would have definitely bent her top over had I known she would go like this😩 Wondering if I should bend over SW2 or not now😕 Keeping wet and happy is a balance. She was good with 2L last week and by the end of the week now she wants close to 3L. I also bumped up the CalMag on one of the feedings a bit to help ensure she doesn’t show issues. Won’t be using CalMag much longer as we are getting later in flower. Not sure how much longer to feed......will go another full 2 weeks for sure. I suspect she will run a full 10 weeks, then if allowing a 2 week flush you only go through week 8. Really don’t know what she is going to do at this point😕😕 Going to be interesting if her sister follows everything in the same manner.......she is in a 1 gal pot...downsides from 3 gal........live and learn Baby!!!👏👍 Little more detail: Jan 14/20 - Day 36 - only given 1L of plain water, pH 6.1 - no nutrients. - thinking she maybe a photo period......if so then I need to back up her medium to and end of veg state and get ready to run her in 12/12 to flip her.......had happen with a Dinafem pack before. - that would suck.....another 7 weeks to go if she is. Jan 15/20 - Day 37 - 2L water - Dual Fuel & CalMag @ 0.5ml/L - 450ppm & pH to 5.7 - She is now 18" tall!!!!! A little odd compared to other diaries for this strain?? - Side branches firming up but the low ones are still soft. - Her Main stem is still soft as well.....more of what you expect in veg not flower......as a comparison. - Nodes growth is still odd, some nodes have four fan leaves for example? Jan 16/20 - Day 38 - 1L plain water only today. - She did not drink a lot yesterday. - SW1 & SW2 moved to veg tent under T5. - ThinkIng I will shock them a bit and see what happens. If a photo she should calm down and show signs of new growth.....too many hairs popping but grasping at straws here.....if she is an auto she should form buds in a couple of days??? - Set the temp in the tent to 82 degrees and humidity to 55%. - Moved light to 14” off top cola. Jan 17/20 - Day 39 - Nothing given today. No water.....dry out day. - She looked good this morning.....perky and happy - Leaves opened up and exposed buds........give her another day or so.......she is an auto......just really slow consistently through all stages. Jan 18/20 - Day 40 - 2L full feed plus 1L plain water added to reduce the ppm and not shock her.........740ppm and 6.1pH.......total watering 3L - nothing in PM.....pot still wet. - concerned about bud sites not getting enough light so moved her back into the flower tent in evening. - replaced CO2 in tent. - Very happy today and good growth with leave up. - 22” tall and 24” wide.. Jan 19/20 - Day 41 - 3L feeding again today. Full strength again but added Piranha and Voodoo Juice at 2ml/L as well.....975 ppm 5.9 pH. - full strength was 1275ppm so added plain water to bring down a bit. - runoff: 1130 ppm and 5.7 pH.....Start bringing up the pH now to 6.1. - Cut off two more low bud sites with tiny branches. - Tied her down more now to help make her wider. Reached up to a couple of the higher nodes I had left alone previously. - Seeing a Kush style long branches. She is now the tallest in the tent! Jan 20/20 - Day 42 - Awesome night after stripping. She is taller again and looks happy, more vibrant! - 2L plain water 6.2 pH in AM. - 2L plain water Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 75 ppm 5.9 pH. In PM. - She seems happy. Filling out more on the side branching. - Bud sites are getting larger but still small overall........if like everything else with girl.......just give her time......patience😩😩😃👌 Have a great week fellow growers.......

Accidently added week 3 too early. I'll wait a little longer to add the 4th week to even it out. The plants are doing somewhat good but not great. The yellow one is restoring to a fuller green. It seems they all have a little heat stress though and they're not growing as fast as I'd like. If I compare it to my window grow, where my Fast Eddy CBD is just as old as the plants of my outdoor grow. Then Fast Eddy is a lot further. I think they're a bit stunted by the cold in the first week and a half and now it's quite hot for them. Will have to be patient to see how they recover. 8/6 Great growth :D especially on the companion plants. Too bad my plants seem to have some bug problems. I think it's leafhoppers. Especially the 2 x critical CBD are affected, but the sweet CBD that was more lightgreen also seems to be affected.

I cannot wait to see how this beautiful Queen is going to look at te end of the flowering stage, she’s the closet I’ve came to LST in a manner I wanted this baby to grow, loving how brunches twirl around the twig, l have stopped growing Christmas tree shaped babies. I LST from the seedling phase right through to flowering, you should not forget that this plant can take stress, imagine it was growing in the wild, some stress in your plant’s lie is critical for positive growth, from my point of view my trees are going to struggle with big buds, because it does not have this thick stems.

F week 5. Leaves got brown spots and are dry. I think my light was too close and maybe some cal-mag issue too. I lifted light higher and changed the nutes in the reservoir. Let's see if that helps.

FBA2502 Plants 1-6 Week 7 May 11– 17 FLOWER 3 Nutrients : Micro 25 ml Gro 10 ml Bloom 30ml CalMag 30 ml Recharge 10ml Green sensation 16.5ml Power buds 7.5 ml 5/11 PH 6.56, PPM 1560, temp 69 2ltr each 5/12 PH 6.31, PPM 1120, temp 68 1 ltr each 5/14 PH 6.66, PPM 1280, temp 70 1 ltr each 5/15 PH 6.66, PPM 850, temp 72 1 ltr each 5/11 Defoliation, feed, pics & videos I made 4 gallons, used 3 to water then poured the runoff back into the rest in the bucket. The next feeding, I added a gallon of tap water to residual and ph to 6,31 temp 69 & PPm 1120. Did the same on 5/14 and 15 using up the remainder of the feed solution. I must monitor and control the tent environment manually. For the past month, the humidifier has been an issue putting out way too much humidity; often leaving water in the bottom of the tent. In addition, the temperatures are also out of control. I added an AC last week to keep the temperature below 80. I finally determined the exhaust vent is also broken and has been for some time. I have been giving good reviews on the AC infinity system. However, during the time I’ve owned this tent (2 yrs), I had to replace the lights twice, fans, humidifier and now the vent twice also. Everything but the tent containment has been replaced. AC infinity does stand by their products, but they are in California, and it takes at least 2 weeks to receive the replacement. This is extremely frustrating at the critical transition to flower for my equipment to fail again. For the time being until a replacement arrives, I pulled the 4” exhaust vent from my 3x3 and hooked it up. I have the AC pushing air in and the exhaust pulling air out. This should create a neutral pressure tent environment-neither positive nor negative. I do have 3 circulating fans in the tent to move air around the plants. It looks like growth spurts have slowed and plant height has been reached. Now is the time for buds to fatten and frost up. All of them (6) are short remaining less than 3 ft. They range from 15 to 31 inches. The tallest #4 &5 and #6 have very light leaves and appear nutrient deficient compared to the shorter phenotypes. Pictures taken later in the week show fading on a few the older leaves. All are receiving the same solution and are in the same soil blend. Moving the gals in and out of the tent for their glamor shots, I bent one limb and snapped another. The bent one I taped with a splint and the snapped one I medicated manuka honey and wired it back to the main stalk. Leaves look like sativa leaning. I hope FBA2502-2 is a good daytime. I’m getting excited to see what develops in the next month or so. News Break: I’ve been informed that 2502 is FastBuds New Frostbanger and is indica for nighttime. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get a sativa to test because I really need a daytime strain. The 2 Blue Cheese plants I just grew are also nighttime. Upon opening the tent, a faint odor was detected, and some stickiness was observed during the process of defoliation. Pictures of the puffy buds even show differences. #4 &5 buds hairs are different from the others being crinklier and the others are straighter. Some like #2 &5 are showing frost on the leaves. Wow at the beginning of flower to have that much frost. They are living up to the new strain’s name. I’ve noticed that when I water, sometimes water shoots out of the side holes I the air pots. I will pack the soil firmly into the sides for future runs. Measurements: #1 15” #2 20” #3 17” #4 30” #5 31” #6 24” Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Week 1 - Day 1 20L Super Air Pots with a bottom layer of clay pebbles, (an inch deep at the centre point) and topped off with Growdog’s 70/30 coco perlite mix. The tops of the pots are covered by green plastic water distributers to evenly spread the water from the 12” watering rings. 2 lights; each 300W actual draw, currently inside the tent. 2 more coming next week to make a total of 4, across the 6 plants achieving a true watt draw of 1200W. Aiming for 1g/watt Germinated seeds from FAST BUDS, were planted and hand watered using tap water pH’d to high 5.8 to low 5.9 with H&G Roots Excl. giving a nice PPM of 362 to start. The BudBox tent is a 2x2x2m, using a Medusa Boosted XL run off trays to a waste brain were the run off can be tested. This will then be recirculated into the feeding tank again. The feed tank will a standard 100L water butt, retro fitting pumps inside for Feeding and Pump to waste - for cleaning the tank out each week. Another 100L water butt will contain a store of filtered RO water which will fill the feeding tank. A 10L PureMate humidifier is set at 65%, along with 2x RAM 16” oscillating wall fans which are mounted to the top of the tent for maximum coverage - set to lvl1 on swing giving the 25°C. No extraction yet. This is ready and waiting. 8” HyperFresh fan with a RHINO 8”x600 pro filter. We are using 8” acoustic ducting.✌️🏻 Week 1 - Day 2 No change. Keeping the new environment stable is difficult. The humidifier is not large enough for the space. Week 1 - Day 3 Fed PH RO water this morning. Trying to keep the humidity up inside the tent. They have popped up! It begins :D Did a feed of 5.8PH RO with CocaA&B 0.4ml/l, Roots excl 0.3ml/l, Calmag 0.2ml/l for a 150PPM. 300ml was used to moisten the coco per pot. Extraction fully connected. Environment stable at 23-24°C, trying to stay at 23.3°C. Humidity fluctuating 47-60%, humidifier struggling, but hopefully be okay. Week 1 - Day 4 All 6 are up and reaching. Husks hopefully will pop off soon. Will be doing another small feed this evening to keep the coco moist. Little leaves have appeared!! Fed another 300ml, 5.8PH @ 151PPM/ plant. Week 1 - Day 5 All shooting up now, tallest at 5cm down to 3.5cm 🌱 I gently helped the last 2 husks off the smallest ones to hopefully even them up. Gave the coco 1L of RO water around the edges. Week 1 - Day 6 Nothing to report this morning. Another PPM feed to be done shortly. Soaked the coco until run off with around 3-4L per pot using 5.8PH nuit water; 0.4 Canna A&B, 0.2 Calmag, 0.3 Roots Excl. 152PPM. First time we tested the Medusa brain - works well and pumps away to the feed tank, need to change one of the low trays to be a boosted tray for better drainage. Giving 5 boosted trays and one normal. Hand feeding up until this point, but will connect up the automation in the next week. Week 1 - Day 7 Strongest are growing around 1cm a day now. Tallest 6cm, smallest at 4cm. Looking forward to next weeks progress :) Bought a wet&dry vac - best thing ever!! Haha. Cleans everything in sight plus all the water from the dirty run off. Lifted all the pots, still a good weight to them so no feed or RO water today I think. Bring on week 2! 💪🏻

The Fruity Donutz are doing great! Still stretching but not as much as last week. I turned on the airco in the growroom at a constant 21 degrees to keep the temperature under 25 in the GTools. Heat can also cause the plant to stretch more, and it has another advantage because it helps to keep the humidity down. The Sanlight is now fully raised to the ceiling and the plants have enough space to build those colas. Removing the suspension cords all together and just attaching the clips to the ceiling was a great solution. Silly that I never thought of this before. Now I don't have to supercrop! Supercropping is HST for the plant, but also High Stress for the grower (at least for me 😅). Not much more to say at this point, but I will post more pics of the developing buds later this week ✌️. Cheers and happy growing!

The strain grows pretty easy. She can definitely eat a lot nutes but be careful into flowering her ph tends to swing very slightly but if not caught early can be a bit detrimental later. Grew a 5 ft plant in a 3.5 gallon res and she flourished. Good and fun photo period plant.
