GORILLA COOKIES 🍪 FF / FASTBUDS WEEK #17 OVERALL WEEK #9 FLOWER This week she's doing good buds are looking good they are mostly dense decent trichome coverage and she's got a nice aroma to her and her buds are looking good she's got a few big buds going on. Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you FASTBUDS!! FASTBUDS / GORILLA COOKIES 🍪 FF

We’ve officially entered week 7 with our FBA 2502 from 42Fast Buds, and the transformation is impressive—our girl is now in full bloom! After a smooth and steady vegetative phase, the flowering stage is progressing beautifully. The decision to experiment with a 12/12 light cycle for this autoflowering strain has proven to be an interesting choice, and so far, the results are encouraging. The plant stands tall and strong in its 10-liter pot, with a well-structured shape thanks to early LST. The climate remains stable with daytime temperatures reaching up to 30°C and an average range of 27–28°C. Humidity levels are consistently between 60% and 65%, which has supported healthy growth throughout the cycle. We continue to feed her with Xpert Nutrients, and the impact is clearly visible—dense flowering sites, vibrant foliage, and a healthy overall appearance. The aroma is starting to build, and the buds are forming with great structure and frost. So far, this grow has been a pleasure, and week 7 marks a crucial point where everything starts coming together. We’re excited to see what the final weeks will bring!

On day 10, I transferred the buds to the HerbDryer since I needed to free up space in the drying cabinet for two other plants. When I made the switch, I did a light trim, and I finished the final trim when I placed them in jars for curing. As for the smell, it’s definitely strong and noticeable. You can clearly pick up berry and herbal aromas. After curing, the smoke quality and smell will improved . In terms of yield, it was a bit below expectations—only 36g dry. The top buds have good density, but the lower buds are quite airy and loose. That being said, I wasn’t expecting a big yield anyway, especially since it only had 12 hours of light during flowering. For now, that's it! I'll add more updates later. Meanwhile, I’ve started a new journey—this time with Runtz Auto from Zamnesia for the contest in partnership with Plagron. You can follow my progress in my Diarys Eternity CUP by Zamnesia & Plagron. https://growdiaries.woodroom.tel/diaries/246503-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-automatic-grow-journal-by-belsun-420 Thanks for the support!💚 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Smoke test: You can definitely smell and taste the berries—not super intense, but you can catch the notes mixed with floral and sweet flavors. When you open the bag, the aroma spreads quickly, and it's easy to tell that you've been handling it. After smoking, your room will smell great, but not overwhelmingly so—it fades after a little while, hahaha! Overall, I’m satisfied for now… Now it’s just a matter of waiting for a better cure to enjoy it at its fullest! 🔥🌿

6/19 Knowing it was going to be over 100° for the majority of the day I WATERED the garden with 3 1/2 gallons. I went to check around 4 and everything looked amazing. We got some hard rain from a thunderstorm at 4pm but it seems like these girls like it rough and did fine. The take a beating and come back stronger. Knock on wood but I haven't seen any problems on the plant I snapped amd dict taped.. Everything seems to have toughened up and the leaves are an awesome healthy color. They grow observable every day now. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 100 again for most of the day before weather goes back to semi normal. I took a video but it will take way to long to upload. Tons of other pics didn't upload either. 6/20 Another day that's going to be over 100°. Plants seem to love it lol. I can't believe what I'm seeing. Bags still had some heft so I didn't water this morning. I figure I'll check them around noon and then plan on watering tonight if they need it. Hopfully they'll get some rain from thunderstorms. This crop has been through a lot. I think that has helped them significant deal with this unpredictable weather. 6/21 We had a MAJOR thunderstorm with sheet rain yesterday. I missed it but it was intense. I saw some videos. First time dad seemed concerned. Fortunately there was no damage. I was going to water today but I decided to hold off due to the look of the plants and the "praying leaves" at 4pm and feeling some moisture in the soil. Bags seemed to still have some heft. I'll probably water tomorrow. Need to transplant the 1 gals and need to figure out what I want to do for nutes this year. So far I've put in much less effort and I'm still doing great. I just don't have as many plants as usual. 6/22 Rained last night. Not much but the bags were heavy still so I held off watering. Plants looked happy and I can fix under watering much easier. It will rain tomorrow. I'll check throughout the day and update but things are going good. I should transplant those 3 seedlings in 1 gals. 6/23 It Rained last night and is suppised to rain today. It was raining when i went over. Just the kind if rain the plants love. I'll check again before church but I'm eventually going to have to water them. Those thunder storms helped a lot. 6/24 Rained about an inch yesterday. Plants loved it. Bigger everytime I see them. One seedling showed a pistol and I'll transplant it with the rest. It was the only one I was worried about. I've seen a FEW leaf hopper punctures and some other bites that could be anything. Time to get the ipm 6/25 Looks like its gonna be a nice sunny day. 75° at 10am. Plants are doing amazing and growing at a rapid pace. Haven't done anything ipm as of yet but any damage I've seen is localized to "A" leaf on "A" plant. I'll be paying attention and watching for signs of deficiencies. As of now though they LOOK great. I'll try to transplant the 3 seedlings today.

Buds are getting bigger. It's developing well. This strain have a nice structure.

🌱 Week 4 Veg: Thriving Despite the Chill 🌟 As we close out Week 4 of veg, I couldn’t be more impressed with how resilient and strong the Zamnesia Runtz are growing! Despite the freezing cold temperatures outside—evident in some snapshots of my frosty mint plants in the veggie garden—these beauties are thriving in their cozy indoor setup. The Aptus Holland Nutrient Spray: A Deep Dive This week, I treated the Runtz to a refreshing shower with Aptus Holland’s nutrient spray, a game-changer in plant health and vigor. Let’s break it down: • What Is It? Aptus nutrient sprays are foliar feeds designed to deliver essential nutrients directly to the leaves. They provide immediate uptake, bypassing the roots and giving the plant a quick boost in vitality. • Why Use It? Foliar feeding is especially beneficial during veg because it enhances nutrient absorption and promotes lush, healthy foliage. It’s also a fantastic way to supplement nutrients if the roots are growing but not yet absorbing nutrients at peak efficiency. • What Does It Do? Aptus sprays improve plant metabolism, strengthen cellular structure, and boost resistance to environmental stresses—perfect for battling those colder temps! • How I Applied It I used a fine mist to ensure even coverage across all leaves, aiming for the undersides where stomata are most active. Afterward, the plants looked vibrant and energized, ready to keep pushing those gorgeous leaves. A New Partnership: Grove Bags and TerpLoc Technology I’m thrilled to announce a new partnership with Grove Bags! Known for their TerpLoc technology, these bags are a true revolution in cannabis storage and curing. • Why Grove Bags? Grove Bags are designed to create the perfect microclimate for cannabis. Their TerpLoc technology helps preserve terpenes—the essential oils responsible for the flavor, aroma, and effects of cannabis—by locking them in while allowing oxygen and moisture to escape. • How They Work TerpLoc bags combine several unique layers: • Moisture Control: Maintains ideal humidity levels to prevent over-drying or mold. • Oxygen Barrier: Blocks excessive oxygen exposure, which can degrade terpenes. • UV Protection: Shields the buds from harmful light that can alter their chemical composition. • Why This Matters For anyone who’s spent months cultivating a crop, ensuring the harvest cures and stores properly is the final crucial step. Grove Bags will play an essential role in preserving the quality and flavor of this Runtz grow, keeping the terps intact for that unforgettable smoke experience. A big thank you to Grove Bags for joining this journey. I can’t wait to showcase their role in the final stages of this grow! Photo Magic: Nikon P900 & Sony A6000 Capturing the Runtz in all their glory is part of the journey, and this week’s shots were nothing short of stunning. Using both the Nikon P900 and Sony A6000 allowed for crisp, detailed photos that highlight the beauty of these young plants. From their vibrant green tones to the intricate structure of their leaves, these images tell the story of strength and potential. Week 4 Veg: What It Means Week 4 in veg is a critical time in a grower’s journey. By now, the plants have developed a strong root system and are focusing on building structure. This is when: • Leaf Development Peaks: Bigger leaves mean more photosynthesis and energy production. • Growth Accelerates: Plants use this time to set the foundation for flowering, with nodes spacing out and stems thickening. • Preparation for Transplanting: Root systems are expanding, making it the perfect time to plan for a move into larger pots, as we’ll be doing next week! Looking Ahead Next week, the Runtz will graduate to larger pots—not their final AutoPot homes yet, but an essential step for continued growth. This transition will help the roots spread further, setting the stage for a thriving flowering phase. Community & Gratitude A huge thank you, as always, to my sponsors and supporters: • Aptus Holland • Pro-Mix Soil • TrolMaster Ecosystem • ThinkGrow LED • Future of Grow LED • CannaKan Germination Station • Zamnesia and Plagron for making this Eternity Cup journey so special • Ziggi Papers • And now, our newest partner: Grove Bags To the amazing Grow Diaries community, you continue to inspire me daily. I’ve been blown away by the incredible work and creativity I’ve seen in other diaries—it’s motivating and humbling all at once. Good luck to everyone; let’s make this journey one to remember! 💚 Final Thoughts From the frosty outdoors to the warmth of my grow room, these Runtz are proving their resilience and promise. Each week, I’m reminded of why I fell in love with this strain, and the excitement for what’s to come keeps growing. Stay tuned for Week 5, where we’ll delve into the transplant process, nutrient updates, and more. Let’s keep learning, growing, and sharing the magic together!

Giorno 43 - le foglie erano di nuovo giù, fornisco 1lt di acqua a testa Giorno 44 - stanotte alle 3 le foglie erano nuovamente tutte giù, ora sembrano essersi riprese un po’ Giorno 45 - fornisco 1 lt di acqua a testa, le foglie di “CARAMEL” erano di nuovo tutte giù Giorno 46 - credo possa essere una carenza di azoto (N) e fosforo (P), aumento fertilizzanti (2ml/L bio grow, 2ml/L bio bloom, 1ml/L top max) fornisco 0,5L a testa, il terreno era ancora umido dopo l’irrigata di ieri Giorno 47 - la dose di fertilizzanti di ieri sembra sia andata a buon fine, le foglie non sono più tutte giù ma stanno meglio Giorno 48 - nulla di rilevante, la crescita continua, domani irrigherò. Ho comprato un ph tester che non riesco a calibrare, ne comprerò uno con la vite Giorno 49 - le foglie di “Caramel” tendono sempre a stare più giù e ora si stanno ingiallendo notevolmente, fornisco 1 litro d’acqua a testa in irrigazione. Giorno 50 - credo che le foglie gialle di “Caramel” siano dovute da una carenza di fosforo(P)e potassio(K), probabilmente non assimilata perché non controllo il PH

Week 6 – Day 44 Flower Day 14 🔄 Looking back: This week I did lollipopping and defoliation on Mimosa Evo and White Widow ✂️ Both plants took it well – no signs of stress or herms so far. Everything is stable and looking good ✅ 💧 I also started mixing osmosis water with tap water at a 10:1 ratio. That gives me a stable pH and a starting EC of 0.08, which is great for preparing nutrients. 💡 Lighting & DLI Mimosa Evo is under the Kingbrite P55 320W, and I’ve now increased the light intensity. 📈 DLI is up to 78 (24h), which equals about 39 DLI under a 12/12 cycle. She’s handling it well so far – no signs of light stress, and the stretch continues strong 🌿 🌿 Plant status – Mimosa Evo 📏 Height: 77 cm (+27 cm this week) 💧 Drain pH: 5.9, EC: 1.7 ⚗️ Feeding at 75% of the nutrient schedule ✅ She looks vigorous and healthy, stretching strongly into early flower. No deficiencies, no complaints!

Real simple week for these girls. KNF with fish hydrolysate, Build a Soil Trio (Coco, Q, and Build a Bloom), humic acid, and cal-mag. The 5 gallon is looking good. I've grown bigger plants in this size pot but this looking like a real fast finisher, maybe 2 or 3 weeks more. It smells great too! Pine and citrus notes when I rub the sugar leaves. The 15 gallon is .... not that great. Im thinking of pull this one and planting another plant. It's unfortunate cause I wanted to see this strain at full potential in the 15 gallon but it never recovered from the gnat issue at transplant. Sucks cause it's the last Six Shooter I had but it just means I get to grow something different in the late summer sun. We'll see what happens next week. Also, I caught this spider coming in at night to munch on pest. Best IPM you could ask for (but I still sprayed some EM-5 lol). ✊🏾

FASTBUDS GRAPEFRUIT Sativa/Indica Grapefruit Autoflowering 56-63 days in flowering THC: High CBD: Low This a great little strain that really is a surprise.. She filled out lovely and gives the nostrils a tickle(she sets my hay-fever off!).. Nice smooth smoke off her and she taste very sweet&sour for me..she dryed up pretty fast in comparison, but the heating has been on a few times this week n may of had a slight impact on that.. Sure she will taste better as wks go on and will put her aside to cure completely now for few wks.. Great strain that I'll definitely grow again

Week 6 begins with a 3 liter feeding and removal of a few dead leaves. Buds are developing nicely and frost is present, woo hoo!! Thanks for stopping by.

Tenth Week / 11.07.24 - 17.07.24 Week 10 was similar to the previous one, with steady progress and a few adjustments. 🌿 The Cookies Gelatos started showing signs of nutrient deficiency, drawing nutrients from the leaves. To address this, I increased the nutrient dosage by 0.5ml for all except CalMag, which I increased to 0.75ml per liter. 🌱 The plants seem to be responding well to the adjustment, and the buds are slowly swelling, especially on Apollo F1. Everything’s progressing nicely! 🌼🚀

Pour un premier cycles : Les bourgeons sont bien gonflés, la croissance est exigentes en nutriments et humiditées pour avoir de meilleurs résultat en Flo. Car en Flo Très gourmants en nutriments. Sa va je trouve que je me suis bien démerdé. La partie afghane (Mazar-i-Sharif) est une très petite plante qui ressemble à un sapin de Noël. Grâce au croisement avec la Skunk#1 elle a une performance accrue et une meilleure saveur. 1er Prix Type de Forte Bologne 2008. 2e prix à la High Times Cup 1999. 2e prix Highlife Cup 2002. Gagnant du prix Soft Secrets Plant Of The Year 2014 Vivement le 2ème Cycles. Si vous avez des remarques, conseils ou autres .... Venez en discutez.

Looking amazing.. smells of strong garlic with a zesty after tone. Starting to double up she's almost done. Probably this next week will harvest.

Ultima settimana di vegetativa, due mesi totali

🌱: topdressed her with Dolmite Lime on day 16 💧 : 4l 💡 : Dli: 35 mol/m²/d 🤔: Back from mountain biking on day 16, she survived my absence well, but looks a bit yellowish. After my experience with the Amnesia Haze https://growdiaries.woodroom.tel/diaries/256489-fast-buds-amnesia-haze-auto-grow-journal-by-hinterhofgrower#weeks/1485085, I'm adding some Dolomite Lime to the soil as a preventative measure to avoid the CalMag problem. I watered the dolomite lime into the soil with 2 liters of 2ml/liter Supermix, also to give the upper roots more NPK. What she can draw from the reservoir through capillary action doesn't seem to be enough yet. As an Indica dominant, I didn't top her but removed the bottom two branches and try to keep the central branch under control by removing leaves. In total, I now have 5 main branches.

Starting 7 seeds, only six made it to the solo cups. ETHOS genetics seeds are ; Planet of the Grapes 55ind/45sat, Cotton Candy Grapes 70/30, Grape Diamonds 50/50, Apex Kush 90/10, and Skunk Hero x Afghgan Kush 100/0 ; DNA Genetics seed, Cataract Kush 99/1 Ind. dom.

Start of week sept 29. First seed did not pop. This one was put in to dirt today oct 1. It will be 3 days behind the other two. But still holding in to the first seed a few more days just in case. End of first week sept 3. First seed never sprouted. But the second one is going strong sitting at about 3/4” after 3 days in dirt.
