- LST continues by stretching the plant outwards. - Both plants continue to stretch. Lamp distance is at 45 cm now. - Soft Defoliation continues. I am trying to remove fan leaves shadowing potential bud sides. But still leaving outskirt fan leaves. A big defoliation and lollipopping will be applied end of 3rd week. - Light intensity is at 100% since 12.06. The heat is still manageable as the outside weather is still around 21 C during day and around 10 C at night (Plants day). - VPD fluctuated this week between 1.0 and 1.6 kPa , averaging at 1,32 kPa. I still manage to gradually increase the VPD. - Tent temperature is much more stabilized at 22 at night and 26 Celsius at day time, averaging at 23.6. Temp is a little lower than last week even with increased light intensity due to the cold weather in Berlin. Still didn't increase the exhaust fan speed. New plan is to increase it on 16th Jun when the outside weather temperature starts to increase. - Humidity fluctuated between 50-65% this week, averaging at 54.6%. I managed to decrease the humidity gradually week on week but there are huge spikes on rainy days. BonAura AirOne dehumidifier continues to collect around 200 ml of water per day which does not seem to have an huge impact over the humidity. - This week, I increased the water Ph as the medium Ph is still under 6 cruising around 5,8. Mid week, I watered with an higher PH of 7,6, followed by a watering of 6.8 Ph. This even did not increase the medium Ph as expected. - Started to see some yellowing on the tips of the 2 or 3 leaves which seems like a Potassium or Calcium deficiency but I believe that it is related to the PH of the medium. Still observing before making any major nutrient increase. - Added an extra 20 grams of BioBloom (GreenHouse Feeding) per pot this week as the planned Flowering cycle is 9 weeks.

Day 50 Flower (Day 92) Today is the first day of week eight of flower, and we're in overtime. According to the breeder, last week was supposed to be the final week of flower since this is a fast strain with Ruderalis in it, but the girls are still far from done. The right girl is still mostly clear, and the left girl has a bunch of fattening up to do before I'll even look at her trichomes. All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.3 water. I did some bud photography as well, but I haven't processed those images yet. Day 51 Flower (Day 93) I'm starting to see a fade in some of the right girl leaves but nothing major yet. I gave her 3 liters of pH 6.1 water and called it a day. Tomorrow I have to hook up her drip irrigation system so I have a few days to tweak it before I'm off on vacation. Day 52 Flower (Day 94) Today, I finally got around to hooking up the drip irrigation system to the right girl. Setting it up was straightforward - put four drip emitters around the plant, run a hose from the emitters to a 120 l water barrel, connect the hose to a pump, set up how much water you want per day, done. For a long time, the right girl has been drinking 3 liters of water per day. One filling in my small 3-liter watering can. I figured, though, that I should first check if the can is 3 liters in the first place, so I filled it up and then measured how much water there was in it. It turns out that the can only contain 2.5 liters. Chinese quality... Anyway, no big deal when I've been hand-watering, but great to know now, as the system would have overwatered otherwise. I set up the system to irrigate 2.4 liters per day, slightly less than currently, but I think she will soon start to drink less as she matures and starts fading. In any case, I rather come home to a slightly thirsty plant than to one that has drowned. It's a bit clunky to use a timer-based drip system as it doesn't adapt to the plant. That's why I'm currently designing and building my own system, based on a Raspberry Pi, which irrigates based on moisture levels in the soil. The aim is to maintain the perfect soil moisture in each pot, no matter how much each girl drinks. This concept s precisely how a low-tech Blumat system work, and I even have one of those, but I can't use it for practical reasons, so I'm "stuck" at building my own hi-tech solution instead ;) The left girl in the small tent is just doing her thing, slowly fattening up. She is foxtailing hard, though, but I'm not surprised, considering all the stress she went through. No big deal, I'll turn those buds into a tincture instead. The flower that got burned a bit in my main tent is also foxtailing but way less. I also got delivered and installed a fire extinguisher ball in my small tent. Now each of the tents should be protected from accidental fire. I have to admit that the thought of leaving my tents up and running alone for a week makes me a wee bit nervous, so I'm taking the precautions I can. I never had any problems in the past, and I like to keep it that way. Day 53 Flower (Day 95) There isn't much to do this late in flower now when I don't even have to water anymore. Although, I am monitoring the soil moisture levels to ensure the irrigation systems work as they should. Today I also changed my Bluetooth Thermo/Hygrometers to WiFi versions since they allow me to remote monitor the tents when I'm off on vacation next week. They are currently showing the temps as high, but since I put them all the way up in the tent, it makes sense that it is hot up there. I will move them down to canopy level before I leave. I could also finalize our travel plans today after going back and forth, making plans, and changing them again for days. Next week, we're off to Iceland, where we will pick up a motorhome at the airport and then drive around as the wind and mood take us. We have been to Iceland before, but the place is so unique that we can't wait to return. It will be interesting (and a bit scary) to see how the girls will manage while I'm gone, but I believe that I've done enough to keep them safe and sound in my absence. A friend of mine can drop by our apartment and look at the girls should it be necessary, but I think they'll be alright. Day 54 Flower (Day 96) Last night, just before heading to bed, I checked the girls to ensure that the irrigation systems worked correctly. A good decision as there was a big puddle of water in the right girl's tent. Fuuuuuuu... So at 4 in the morning, I had to remove that water. Great. It turned out to be around 2.5 liters, and I guessed that the system wasn't working correctly by watering too much. Oh well, it was late, and I decided to deal with that the next day. When I opened the tent today, there was a new puddle even though I had turned off the system the night before. Huh??? I soon found the problem, though. Each drip emitter has a rubber membrane that keeps the emitter closed whenever the pump isn't running. That's in theory. In practice, however, the membrane doesn't close up properly, and water can flow through. I filled up my big 120-liter water barrel yesterday, which caused the water level to be above the level of the emitters. Considering the leaky emitters, we now had a water siphon system running, pulling water from the barrel and continuously dripping even though the pump wasn't running. Luckily I already had a low and squat 50-liter reservoir at hand, so I put the pump in that one instead, as it is lower than the emitters. That should solve that problem. I hope. (Yes, I know it is terrible with a white reservoir as it enables algae growth but it is all that I have right now and I'll throw a blanket over the reservoir before we leave.) However, from this experience, I decided to turn on the system for 24 hours, collect all water, and measure the exact amount. Honestly, I should have done that from the start already. Oh well, we live and learn. Anyway, I removed the system and taped it to the inside of a bucket, which collects the water, and tomorrow I'll measure it. Besides all this fun irrigation action, I didn't do anything else with the girls today. Day 55 Flower (Day 97) Things are looking better in the tent today. I left the irrigation system running for 24 hours, and there was no more siphoning happening after I switched to the lower water reservoir, so that's good. However, the system was still overwatering by half a liter. Not too bad on a daily basis, but as I'm gone for a week, I need it to perform better. I dialed it in by adding one more dripper but decreasing the frequency. I'm currently using five drip emitters, and they run for six minutes every 12 hours. I did three test runs (simulating a full 24 hours run cycle), and the average water volume is 2.43 liters per 24 hours. Spot on. Day 56 Flower (Day 98) The last day of the eighth week of flower, and everything is moving along nicely. A bit slow since the girls were supposed to be done already, but I'm in no real hurry. I'm off tomorrow for a week of vacation, and I hope I have taken all precautions to keep the girls safe and sound. They should be alright, but a friend will drop by in a few days to make sure. I haven't checked the trichomes in a few days, but that can wait until I return. All I did today was to check that the irrigation systems are running correctly. The cheap system for the small girl is a bit finicky to adjust, but the other system is running just fine now when I have the other water reservoir.

Estamos en la ante ultima semana según lo que indica el breeder. pero estoy casi seguro que va a tardar 11 semanas en terminar bien, aun están creciendo brácteas y pistilos nuevos. No hay oxidación ni algún síntoma de maduración 🚿 14/09 día 52 se riega con 2,5 litros de agua mezcla como siempre, 30% de la canilla reposada por 24 horas + 70% de osmosis + 1ml x L de cal mag + 1ml x L de top auto. PH: 6.0 EC:1.0 Drenaje: PH: 6.6 EC:1.5 En el momento que se apagan las luces se pulveriza con bacillus subtilis, BioTrap - Mamboretá a 2Gr x L se empapan bien las flores y se controla humedad que no suba del 50% 🚿 17/09 día 55 se riega con 2,5 litros de agua mezcla 50% de la canilla reposada por 24 horas + 50% de osmosis + 1ml x L de cal mag.

Week5 Vegetative steering Day 29 ————- 4 minute shots(220+-ml). 50-60klux 68 leaf temp Defoliated/Lollipopped Plants seem to be inefficiently spaced. I moved them all closer and they are now positioned better under the lights ———— Day 30 VPDis about a .95 Vegetative steering schedule for 3gal who drink a little over a quart a day 220 P1 440 P1 660 P1 880 P1 1000 P1 1220 P2 1330(1%)P3 I achieve runoff at end of P1 then do a maintenance shot and finish the day off with a watering. P1 waters every 15 min starting 1.5hours after lights on Plants are swelling. But not as well as when i use CO2. I think plants in flower still need co2 so that we can get these lights closer.(as long as the leaf(temp does not go over 80 and vpd stays good) Also, i found a plant to have hermied in week 2 so i removed the pollen sac and rubbed some pollen on 2 plants. Seems like they are just starting to take form on the flowers. **need to check for hermies beginning week 2** Am happy to get seeds from these ladies as this was very isolated in the grow ________________ Day 31 Plants are starting to frost. Group1 has swelled the most Group 2 has average growth and nice frost Group 3 looks like it was over dosed. *Bras&MJ study shows that MJ does mot need to be sprayed with Bras as it will over stress the plants. Brass was completely fine to spray without having adverse reactions. MJ seems to decrease yields but is a worthy tradeoff(will continue to use)-* ————— Day 32 Sprayed 2 plants with MJ(they now have been sprayed both week 4&6) Sprayed 3 with bras(also have been sprayed twice in flower) Finally frosting On the plants

03.22.23. Start Week 3. Today i started the Low Stress Training on the plants. I first carefully start to bend the plant kinda massaging the plants and making the plants softer and easier to bend down. I then tie the base on one end to keep the plant from snapping, and bend the plant the opposite direction and tie it down. I will continue this daily until flower starts to create a perfect even top canopy. End of week Review. All 3 plants seem to be reacting well to the nutrients and LST they are getting. Also the few leave trimmings seemed to go well with them all. I have officially named the plants. There names are Megan, Lucille, and Alien. Very excited for these plants to start there flowering stage

She's slower to mature than the other girls. Her buds are yet to mature, but she stinks so good! I can only imagine with 28% THC levels, she's taking her sweet time to develop into a powerhouse! will start to flush my other plants but I will continue to lightly feed her until she's ready.

14.3.25: FastBuds Mystery seed grow #1 🌱 We're looking good, nice, strong, and healthy seedling. She started praying after the feeding today. I watered a couple of litres over the last week. I've been watering around the whole pot to encourage root stretching and kick-start the dry amendments and feed the Mycorrhizae. I left the first 2 inches around the seedling until today 🌱 Today, I watered with 500mls of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with: ♡ Black strap molasses ♡ Ecothrive Biosys 18.3.25: FastBuds Mystery seed #1 is 15 days old today. She is 3 days ahead of my RQS Northern Lights, which I have topped or fimmed. I planned to do this one, too, but it's not quite ready yet. Otherwise, she's looking very good. We'll see how this week goes and hopefully get it done by the end of the week. 23.3.25: FastBuds Mystery seed #1 is ready to be topped today. I went ahead with alcohol sterilised scissors and cut the two tiny leaves from the centre of the plant. Everything went very well and a clean cut was made. The plant is looking great afterwards. Thanks for checking in ✌️🌱🤞💚

Alright going to compile all the results of the different harvests into this one report. Its easier to have all the pics in one place. They are all autoflowers, Best grown outdoors in my area as they finish on time and just before the rainy season where molds and WPM takes over anything. So there is a lot happening in the pics. Took a pick of the planter after I harvested and of the plants hanging up, Some of them are in the bags from the freezer. All the plants where trimmed wet and frozen fresh expect the Blue Dream, They will all be getting turned into Bubble Hash once the weather gets a bit colder in my area. Will do it on the desk when its aorund 0c so freeze point but nothing to crazy. Side notes, One plant grew a weird colourization thing and have dark and light leaves on one branch. looked kinda neat, and one of the plants I found a bunch of hatched eggs "maybe butterfly??" on one of the undersides leaves. Will not know harvest weights or anything till after I transform it all into the hash. Most of the plants weed and not weed grew roots outside of the planters and across the deck boards, kinda fun to see when moving the planters. Had a velcro like effect to them. Many of the plants did not even survive a week past germination or did not germinate at all. I did not included these into the report and most of them where from older seeds. One of them was not but it is a strain I have known to be a little bitch unless everything is perfect and easy. so not the best genetics overall. Out of the ones I did grow and that survived they are listed below. Fast Buds CBD 20:1 This plant grew small in both containers it was placed in and did not excel very much, it had an ok growth pattern but nothing to write home about, Likely best suited for an indoor growing environment. vs outdoors, Need to try this one again in a better pot or indoors. Curious about its flavours and potential when given more of a ideal environment. Exotic Seeds Strawberry Cola This plant did well in the small container it had, Made some nice looking buds for what it was dealing with, Did not have the best sun vs some of the other plants and showed a bit of WPM at the end of the harvest on one of its leaves. If it was grown is a large container like some of the other well performing plants im sure it would be a bit better but still a squat plant, perfect for my stealthy grows where you need things contained a bit more. Ganja Farmer Blue Dream Did well, had a few of them growing in smaller pots and one in a big pot. the smaller ones where not worth doing anything with, really needs its own pot not shared and good amount of medium. it will thrives. Plant had no real issues and grew well. Ganja Farmer Gorilla Cookies This was the best performing auto out of them, It had the bigger plant and took up the most room. It was in a planter with a smaller plant and it did not make it. The Gorilla Cookies overtook it and excelled heavily. Great buds and nice frost, if I had more I would grow this one again. TBH any of the Gorilla line up from Ganja Farmer has been very impressive outdoors for me. I have tried a few of their other strains and had some issues from smaller plants and pests but the Gorilla mixes and lineup is a winner for sure. Would recommend this to anyone who just wants to set it and forget it and feed every so often. Fast Buds Apricot This was the 2nd best performing plant, it was just a bit smaller then the Gaja Farmer plants and they where located beside each others planter boxes. The Apricot did share its space with another plant that grew to a descent size so it was share more of its resources then the cookies. another good option to have for an outdoor grow, just let it be and harvest end of it all. Great smells and looks, would grow it again for the smell alone its nice when you walk past it and bump it then waft the sweet nectar of the plant. Seedstockers Blackberry Gum Very tasty plant and excellent aroma off of it. It came out strong and grew very well. It was planted with another seedstockers plant that did similar and had a great overall success. Of the two plant that popped off one was more fruity then the other and the other was more sour. All of the plants I grew from SeedStockers this year where great growers and produces. Will do them again and again if I have the chance to. They don't seem to have duds in the seed like the others ones did, and they where just as old as the oldest ones. So they last for a while. Seedstockers CBD 1:1 Silver Lime Haze This was the plant growing inside the same container as the blackberry gum. It had a great hazy smell, sour and hints of cirtus. Like the other Seedstocker seeds it had two that popped up and one of them was more diesel. When trimming this one it was oliy as fuck. I have no doubt if I pressed this stuff for rosin it would be a heavy producer. Love the 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC and think more strains need to do this. I remever reading something saying when there is aorund 1-2% CBD in the weed it can make its effects even stronger. Fast Buds OG Kush + SeedStockers O.G. Kush these two where to be a grow off between each other and find out what one is best. They had similar growth to each other and one of them go so top heavy it bent over. I will know more about these ones once I crack the bags and give them a test once all the processing is done. OG Kush was one of the first ever strains I grew and did it very well under low wattage and blue light. It has a special spot in my heart even if I did not like the high or taste all that much as many others do. Well that is it for now. I may comeback and edit of this and add more bits. Any questions let me know in the comments or send me a DM.

Grow Journal Week 5: Bloom Phase Progress 🌼 Hello dear growers and growerettes, I’m thrilled to share the fifth week of the bloom phase in our grow journal! Here are all the details for Week 5: Weekly Progress It's been a typical week of development for the plants. Not much has happened aside from the usual growth. However, I had to reset my watering system due to an error, which involved removing the mulch layer. Since then, I've been closely monitoring to ensure the watering remains consistent. Watering and Control Systems After resetting the watering system due to an error, everything seems to be back on track. I'm observing the system closely to ensure its consistent performance. Challenges This week, the defoliation process has been particularly challenging, even though it usually goes smoothly. There are just too many fan leaves with trichomes this time. Goals and Expectations I am curious to see how the plants will continue to develop over the next two weeks, as this period will give me a good indication of what to expect at harvest. Thank you for following along, and stay tuned for more updates! 🌿✨

All I can say is that this thing is a beast. She likely only has a week or two left so I did one last small top dress with dry amendments as well as some ewc and super soil to top it off. Cant wait to watch this girl really fatten up. She’s already having trouble holding up the colas. 😎🍿🍻🌱

Cereal Milk (YLife X Snowman) Gave them a full day of darkness and flushed for two weeks with phd water after flushing with Advanced Nutrients Flawless Finish! UVB light did increase trichomes and it appears it sped up trichome ripening, not 100% sure on the ripening tho. WILL UPDATE AFTER DRYIN WITH DRY WEIGHT! 2/18/25 UPDATE..Cereal Milk weighted in at 39 grams so nearly 1.5oz. The scent is not so strong but it’s there and so far it’s smelling like gassy bad breath smh unless my brothers breath had my nose pallet out of balance lmfao. I’ll cure for a short time and coma back to that!

These are the tallest and densest in the tent but there is little to no smell yet to them. Trichome production is very good for the stage so hopefully they develop a nose in the next couple of weeks. I’d hate to end up with rock hard frosty OG Kush buds with no smell 😀
