Week 3 for our ztrawberries from fastbuds 🍁 We removed the 2 lower branches and leaves. We gave some master root this week. Some of the plants already showed the first preflowers, flowering is starting soon! We also placed a net above just in case we need to sustain the buds in later flowering

We finally arrived at the flowering of the 5 plants. # B3 presents some type of blockage, which is still very early in flowering. Despite the tragic accident with # B5 the buds' formation is going very well she still showed signs of phosphorus deficiency despite using both FloraBloom and Liquid KoolBloom in the next irrigation I will try to leave the PH in 6.4 since as I researched the phosphorus is better absorbed with soil pH between 6.2 and 6.7. The other plants are doing well and do not have the same deficiencies. This week I released the LST and applied defoliation on some leaves to favor the light on the apical buds where buds are forming. Updating with 55 days # B3 already has some white pistils but the buds did not start to form. I begin to think that it is a photoperiod.

Going well

Alrighty, guys and gals it's another res change and another opportunity to make mistakes haha. All in all, I actually got a lot of helpful advice through the questions forum so a big shout out to anyone that helped with those issues. Unfortunately with the rest of the canopy being somewhat the same height, I decided to leave the lights on 100%. I can't raise them any higher and I just have to better in veg when it comes to keeping the canopy even and encouraging bud sites. I'm super tempted to trim up the top big fan leaves but I honestly am not sure if it would help any at this point in time. I'm looking forward to giving the buds more time to grow though and I'm hoping a surprise myself with a great turnout. I'm still at a loss for when to harvest as far as what to look for with the buds aesthetically. I've heard the trichomes cloudy bit so many times but I guess I just cant tell if I should harvest what's larger done and cloudy then harvest the rest later etc.

This plant is really getting purdy.

Things are looking good. I'm in a bit of a time crunch so I think I'm going to harvest early. Sometime this week probably, just shy of 8 weeks. Cool strain to grow. Very interesting calyx formations at the crowns. I dried a couple small buds and threw them in my vape a few days later and the terpenes seem great. Can't wait to see how it tastes fully cured. I'm going to wash and decarb the buds before curing them, and I've never done that before, so I'll post that here too. Thanks to everyone who read and commented! Happy growing!

Pretty good week, no problems. Added a dehumidifier yesterday (Saturday). And also bought a new light. The light should arrive on Tuesday. Looking forward to that because then I’ll be able to spread them out further so they’ll all have as much room to grow as they need. I believe they’ve started flowering, that happened like day 24 when I first noticed the white hairs coming out of the bud sites. They really took off growing mid way through the week. Like twice the growth as the prior week. I haven’t been defoliating per se, I have been tucking & tying leaves down. Many of the secondary flowering nodes have actually surpassed the main cola’s of my plants height wise. Those that did I tied slightly back down. Really wish I could cut a few branches off them without stressing them out. Oh well. Such is the bane of autoflower growing. The new light I bought is a Colofrog 2021 CF 2400 LED w/Samsung LM301H Osram Diodes. From what I gathered online, it’s a better light than the Mars hydro tsw 2000 I currently own. I’ve got my ts 1000 in the tent currently just to get through until the new light comes Tuesday.

One plant is very small cos when I transplanted it to the 5g pot I brock all the roots off it its slowly starting to come back to life, as for the other ones there doing good lots of new growth starting to come out under main big leaves i am not adding any nutrients yet and will probably start LST by the end of this week

È stata una settimana molto calda e piena di bellissime giornate, il meteo è meraviglioso questo periodo. Le bellissime autofiorenti dutchfemseeds sono tutte vicinissime alla fase finale della fioritura e alcune sono già pronte per essere raccolte ma aspetteremo un altra settimana abbondante prima di raccogliere tutte le infiorescenze mature in maniera graduale. Molto colorate le mimosa Purple Kush e molto resinose, il resto delle varietà ognuna ha il suo aroma speciale ed inconfondibile,tutte molto resinose e piene di infiorescenze molto dure e cariche di resina appiccicosa. Sono felice perché queste varietà come sempre soddisfano a pieno le mie esigenze e sono spettacolari vederle fiorire nel giardino. Alcune sfiorano il metro ed ottanta centimetri di altezza con infiorescenze ovunque. Manca poco! Un abbraccio a tutti.

nothing to do just waiting

Changing reservoirs whenever pH becomes unstable. Usually after around a week and a half. Seeing some nice buds developing. Found a ball that exploded when I touched it. Going to cut this plant down probably to keep it from pollinating others completely.

They took a long time to grow and mature 10 months in all. They produced amazing flowers with a genuine high. Left a lot to be desired in flavour profile however not awful to smoke. Would grow again for sure as they were a high yielding, ‘set and forget’ type of strain easy and resilient enough to grow and highly impressive to see grown outdoor.

08/08/25: The first leaves are starting to fade and the buds are looking like they will be ready to harvest in one or two weeks! Right on cue, summer has finally decided to show up here! We’re in for a warm and sunny week, perfect timing to give the flowers that final push they need to ripen fully and pack on some last-minute weight ☀️🌿 I also really enjoy all the other diaries growing alongside! Seeing different approaches and results has already given me plenty of ideas to improve my next outdoor auto run next year. 😁

Plants are growing strong. Gotta do some trimming. The smell reminds me of old school weed smell.

DAY 63, the grow box is now fully functional again, new extractor, new handmade softbox, back to 18/6 schedule, max temp=33°C, RH=50% (I know it's a bit high for flowering stage but I check carefully the plants and so far, nothing is wrong) 3 plants are frosty, I can see the trichomes with the microscope so I stopped the nutrients for them and flush with water pH 6,2, do you guys think I'm doing well ? For the 7 others: - 1 hasn't flowered, I keep her but I know shell never give nothing. - 6 are growing and I keep giving nutrients (Biogrow, Biobloom, Topmax and Bioheaven)

Very easy to harvest. Dried and was very fruity, no bush whack smell. Wasn't expecting it. As the dry time was long. And the buds super huge and in abundance. Was a very early addition to my crop (50 odd plants) this was done in my 1st phase of 10-15 plants. And I still have a good amount of it. And really looking forward to adding a smoke review next month with bud shots. Update 3 months later. My mate back sent me back 22ml of D9 Distillate, about 95-100% THC 0-5% CBD, I fill carts and use 15-20% resin or natural flavours. Flavours THC BOMB (ORANGE+LEMONS 10%-90% D9) 3 carts Super lemon haze 15-20% SLH rosin 60-70 D9 resin 6 carts. + 5-10% of 1000mg 30% CBD SUPER LEMON HAZE cbd oil. As I couldn't get the burn right on the 1st attempt. D9 was too thick and a nightmare to mix. Bubbles did build up to fast while vaping and wouldnt settle. It's a really great way to make strong vape juice from strong but, not your favourite weed. There's no flavour to it until you add rosin or natural flavours or ratio of good CBD oil. D9 is hard to make. It's much easier to source and then if you grow weed. You can press some to get rosin & add flavours that way or buy flavours. (Need to be potent and D9 mix friendly, works a lot easier) vaping is a huge part of my intake. And I was sick of buying shit carts & D vapes. So, I'm making my own. (With help on the D9 process)
