Day 27 of 12/12 Day 16 Flower Ppfd 950-1050. S44-Ionboard Ppfd 650. S11-Ionboard lightbars EC 2.0 PH 6.0 I finally caught this diary up to the current date. I apologize for my previous entries that were all done last night and kind of vague and all over the place. Today I'm doing a mild defoliation to open up the canopy and get some life pumped into these lower bud sites. She's still stretching some which I'm all for at this point although I have a few colas reaching for the sky that need dialed back a little. I'll most likely just LST them to the net if I can find spots to pull from. Defoliation is a nightmare currently. I need some kind of mission impossible harness to hang above the canopy and save my lower back lol. I ordered and installed the s11 Ionbeam led bars from AC Infinity. I currently have them in my lower canopy just below my scrog net to help her along a bit. The first night I installed them they didn't sync up with my controller 69 and she had a night light for 12 hours. Pisses me off because I should have peeked in to make sure it shut off with the main board. So later on today I'll play around with the setting between the 2 controllers and get this UIS set right. This is a prime example of jumping the gun and letting the excitement of new gear get me doing shit hastily. These bars are weak and have to be placed within inches of the canopy and then will only cover a small area efficiently. I will most likely remove em from the lower canopy and suspend them over the colas on the edges. Not sure what I was expecting from 11" light bars. Maybe I'll add them to my seedling/clone racks.

This week, I continued the LST on each plant everyday. Unfortunately, I broke one branch of the Cashew Kush by pulling too hard on it. Since it was one of the double branches (see last week photo), I'm curious to see if the other smaller branch will now increased its growth to compensate the loss. The growth is good despite some probable nitrogen excess (curled tip + dark green leaves) on the Blackberry Cake and the Cashew Kush. This is not the first time I'm facing this with Sensi Seeds plants in this pre-fertilized soil, but they always turned out fine in the end! I added a bit more water to these two plants to try to eliminate a bit of nitrogen excess. I also increased the watering frequency. I wanted to give some light to the lower branches without defoliating too much, too soon. So, I get the idea of removing only some leaflets on all the plants. I don't know if this technique has a name and if it's useful. If your heard about it, please let me know 😎 Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Blackberry Cake : 21cm Jack Herer : 25cm Cashew Kush : 25cm

Good plant overall, wish it was a bigger plant because bud structure is very nice Had a little bit of spider mites but took care of it quickly, overall handled the heat very well and this one had no bud rot Will run this stain again since I have some more seeds, hoping for a bigger phenotype next time :)

Week 5: Pre-Flower Surge and Canopy Management Update: 27.06 2025 | Day 45 Consistent 32°C+ temperatures require watering every 2-3 days as roots fully occupy the 15L pots. Slow, edge-focused watering ensures lower soil activation without runoff. Strain Progress: Forbidden Runtz She's showing the furthest progress. Colas start to form and I only bend down branches that overshadow other parts of the plant. The smell develops a distinct fruity scent just by rubbing the stems. Can't wait for the full bloom aroma. This girl appears to be a definite winner in all aspects. Bruce Banner She's really pulling off the growth show now! Keeping up feels demanding - bending every new shoot while managing space constraints around the fabric pot. From above, numerous bud sites emerge through the canopy. The structure shows incredible potential - imagining this genetic as a photoperiod tree excites future plans. FastBuds delivers impressive genetics. Green Crack Last week's prediction holds true: overdrive mode engaged! While not matching Bruce's pace, she's nearly caught Forbidden Runtz in size. Within 48 hours, white pistils transformed nodes into defined bud sites. Strategic tie-downs on dominant tops redirected energy to younger shoots, creating a balanced canopy. Environmental Management: - Greenhouse humidity stabilized (25-28°C) - Evening watering with temperature-matched water - Zero runoff maintained to preserve soil biology Next Priorities: - Apply Bokashi juice (1:100) - microbes will activate Biotabs nutrients - Continue selective LST adjustments - Monitor lower canopy light penetration - Sniff aroma development daily The real bud porn begins when colas start stacking - patience and observation now pay dividends later. Catch ya next week. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

I was slightly disappointed with the yield but I’m content with the taste and affect that I got from the plant .

Day 35 Noticed true flowers on 3 of 4 plants. Turned lights up to 100%. 5 or 6 large leaves removed from each during past week. Increased nutes for two feedings during this past week. Photos and video from day 36. Noticed brown spots and tip burn Day 38 on some leaves mid plant on BB2 and GG2. I'm guessing start of Potassium lock out because of too much Cal mag. Flushed all 4 with one gallon each of 6.5 ph water on Day 38 and removed all LST. By Day 40 all new growth was healthy and all were growing quickly. Defoliated BB2 of 8 large fan leaves and a few on the others.

Lemon Cherry Cookies – Flowering Week 2 🌸 The plant is now fully into flowering. Bud sites are stacking up nicely and the white pistils are shooting out strongly. She’s still growing bushy and filling out the tent well. 📌 Training: • Lollypopping next Week 📌 Feeding: • 1 ml/L Bio-Grow • 2 ml/L Bio-Bloom • 1 ml/L Top-Max • 0.5 ml/L CalMag • 0.5 ml/L Alg-A-Mic Leaves look healthy and lush, with a nice green tone and just a light tip fade – exactly where she should be in this phase. Nutrients are being absorbed well, no visible deficiencies or stress signs.

Week 15! Nothing much to add. She is plumping up nicely. She is not using as much water as she was when the buds started forming. I can leave it for 5 days no problem.

Went 60 days into flower could have possibly went longer but I felt like it’s where I wanted it to be also just couldn’t wait any longer. Overall great grow a lot of challenges but with the help of this site and my own research I’m happy with the results. I will weigh after drying and trimming

Well it's finally time to cut her down. It's day 95 post germination for this lady, and she's at maximum potency. All trichomes are cloudy with about 5-10% amber & she's giving out a mixed palet of aromas. I can smell a very distinct mix of lemon, urea, skunk, and spice. It was relatively easy plant to grow. I started in a super soul which ran out of nutrients early and I had to supplement with bottled nutrients. Going forward I'm going to have to put more thought into my initial soil composition. Please note: I'm only estimating the 'Wet Bud Weight'; for the purposes of this diary I estimated 12-16 ounces. Cannabis can loose up to 75% of its mass during the drying phase and based on past experience, I am expecting 4-6 ounces of finished flower. Dry/cure process: 1. Cut entire plant down by main stock 2 hang upside down in a dark room with controlled humidty and temps.... - Temperature should range from 67-72 °F, and my humidity will range between 57-60%. 3. Full trim complete after 8-11 days of drying. 4. Stick in Mason jars indefinitely with 2-way Boveda humidty packs (62%). 4-20. Smoke 2 joints before you smoke 2 joints.. and then you smoke 2 more ☮️ I'll post a thorough smoke report in roughly 3 weeks Thank you growdiaries.com Thank you growmies Thank you Fastbuds

It’s day 27 from seed for all the plants in the photo sea of green. Let’s call it the battle of the strains summer 2025. All of the plants are starting to have visible differences. I’m already starting to tell witch plants are more sensitive than others.

Growth has been great, just plain water for this girl growing in organic super soil. I’ve started a slow transition to flower, extending her night by 15 minutes every day until I get to 11/13. I’ve also started Foliage spray of a very week seaweed and water solution (¼ recommended dose every other day.

Fastbuds is the best Autoflower seed company. I’d try any other brands if someone would let me test one. As of now, no reason to switch a great thing... bravo fastbuds 🇺🇸 USA USA

Transplanted into a bigger pot. Used a dirty old trash pot, and it was a shame to look at. So i transplanted into 38.5L fabric pot, to get an "airYY" and sexy root development :P ! As u can see, the "little monster", looks sick, and very angry. Its a sign of transplant, and bad conditions (the pot).. (SORRY lil baby plant)... But it will be better, after a few kisses and days.

Day 64. they been moved to main tent ! All this week pure water, they should adapt not only to main lights, but i took Mars Hydro SP 150 and made mini side lightning for them. hope it will help. main tent plants are a lot bigger and cast shades ... still not a right time for defoliation, but with better lightning i hope them to develop quicker and i think i will do it ! Day 69. Transplantation day !!! Girls run out old shoes and it's time for bigger ! Went for 10 gallons pots. Heavily cleared bottoms and lolipoped them. Amount of waist would be enough for few nice plants ;))) This strain would perform amazingly with scrog , no doubts ! But I have no space .... ;(((((( Happy Growing !!!
