3/30/25 - start of week 3 of flower. I have been defoliating larger leaves and leaves blocking bus sites here and there throughout the week since her growth is exploding and will do a heavy defoliation in a week at day 21. I top watered with FPE of my bloom at 1tbsp per gallon of water and PH'd the water down to 6.5 3/31/25 - My humidity kept rising in the tent and i couldn't get it down under 60% RH even with my lung room at 32% RH so i decided to do a large defol to help air circulation 4/1/25 - Filled the res with plain water PH'd at 6.5, it was real dry and between the both they took an entire 5 gallon bucket. I'll have to start checking the res every few days to see how thirsty these girls are 4/4/25 - Top watered about a liter and a half each with FPJ. Reservoirs are almost empty so I'll probably need to fill them tomorrow. I got a battery powered siphon from Amazon to make it a little easier since the trellis and canopy get in the way of the PVC 4/5/25 - filled the res with plain water PH'd to 6.3. Tomorrow is day 21 of flower so will be defoliating again probably pretty heavy but plants are looking nice, Ive been keeping PPFD around 850 while in flower

Very happy with how this lady has performed, amazing quality buds, very sticky and dense flower with a concrete smell that I love so much, which is that kind of fruity sweet flavor that this lady is able to produce, it's been a beautiful journey, I'm gonna enjoy a lot this flowers. Very recomended guys!

Now the strawberry throwing flower fast to!! These plants are insane!!

At the beginning of the week I thought it would be a harvest week, but it drives me crazy: as it goes on to develop so greatly that I am not sure it will be done in more couple of weeks!...

Welcome to my Fast Buds sponsored shootout and living organic soil v coco side by side. I also plan to use this grow to my full advantage regarding a few age old nagging questions about methods. I have had a keen interest in L.O.S ( supersoil) since reading a few threads a while back on how amazing and productive it can be. After too much research and procrastinating I had to give it a go. I have been a decades coco/nft grower and recently threw my hat in the rdwc ring too. I have avoided soil due to the overwatering worry ( heavy handed chimp brain !) and the best potting soil/feeds. Catching up on the advances in indoor soil gardening and organics led me too subcools supersoil recipes to name a few but being a town dweller with farms everywhere around me still drew blanks on a lot of the ingredients needed and where the hell I could even begin to get them from. Thankfully , commercial savvy has now made buying it in ready to use and with a full range of beneficial bacteria ect available in amendments from a grow shop here in the uk. ecothrive have realised the potential for us to dive into this medium with all the mixing , measuring and resourcing. I bit the bullet and £150 later I now have 4 x37Litre pots that will be used for as long as I want to feed the soil for without EVER needing nutrients again potentially. The coco has also had charge mixed in to encourage the bennies to colonize there too. I will be using the shogun nutes that I know do the business with coco to compare with for yield , growth and taste. I have 3 seeds each of 4 Fast Buds Strains to use as a control for the grow and am journaling each strain in their own diaries. This statement will be used to start each one as the information is identical at this point but following this I will do them individually. I am now starting their second week since opening the seed packets , straight into soaked and shook root riot cubes and into the heated propagator. They had all showed their heads by end of day 3 and a couple needed helmet surgery to open up without being hindered . I have has them in the prop for a few days but they needed to get settled as they were popping roots out all over the cubes. They have now been in their final pots for 2 days complete and starting their 3rd today at day 8 since planting in cubes. I am impressed with the speed and success of these girls already (12 of 13 germinated) . Well done fast buds. So here we go folks , any comments , ideas ,questions , advice are always welcome and I hope we can have some fun experimenting with defol v non defol , topping v fimming v bending and any other curiosities along the way. I plan on using a quadline for them all to keep a control for the comparisons too. Be green folks Welcome aboard and a huge thank you to Fast Buds for the opportunity to try autos.

Sorry guys, cause of noo time this week i was not able to make normal pics. It was last week, so i just defoliated and flush 5days with ph'ed water and a bit of molasse. Last day 24hrs of dark. Cya after trimming and then after curring.

Day 1 week 2 Day 2 week 2 Day 3 week 2

420FASTBUDS FBT2106 WEEK 5 Wow what a big diffrence fron last week till now. They both almost seem double in size and are still moving upward. Over all health seems amazing as I don't see any issue's. I did up there feeding to now 1-2 liters every 2-3days as before was only 16oz. They're drying out just as fast so I know they are doing good as far as water/feed intake. I bumped up the GH Flora series 3 part nutes. I kept the Gro at 1tsp/gal but decided to add more of the Micro & Bloom to a 1-1/2tspgal so will see how they handle it. If I had to take a guess if they're like anyother Fastbuds amazing strains, they wont skip a beat and ask for more. Happy Growing

Not really much to say this week all 10 are growing fine with no problems at all I Will keep removing the larger fan leaves as I go along, I do this in order to try and get as much light to the bottom branches as I can before I switch them to 12/12. This will hopefully keep the canopy as even as it can be without having to do to much training or topping. Day 34 - Looking abit skinny and after the defoliation, but had to remove the middle growth and large fan leaves to get light to them bottom branches and new growth tips. I’m aiming to keep them small and bushy

#30.8.2021 - 6th week of flowering in progress ~ it still needs another two weeks to finish. ~ 6th week - Last nutrient ramp up ~ ~ 7th week - *COMMING* ~ ~ 8th week - *HOPEFULLY HARVEST* ~ The foliage slowly finishing their lifespan. Leave tips are slightly burnt, looks like PK booster doing the job. 🥦 #1.9.2021 - Gave them first good flush to get rid of the excess Nitrogen and other unecessary stuff #2.9.2021 - Last week feed: Topmax, PK booster and sedweed/kelp extract — First test nugs were cut! 🤩🥦 #4.9.2021 - End of the 10th week — Flowering day: 45 (1-1.5 weeks more till harvest)

May 15th We’ve had some tough winds. She handled it very well actually. Her stem bulked. Added a layer of coco on top to help with winds and to choke up on her stem May 25th she's small and bushy

Growth continues. Buds are starting to fill out and have started to see some pistils turning red. have lowered the nutes in the solution by a small amount and CO2 has been lowered. AND I did not put it back into Veg. It just tagged it that way and I can't change it.

The Purple Goat Cheese is growing pretty good comming into week 4 of veg she's been topped an a couple leafs plucked off to open up some lower branches to the light over all she's been growing good no problems yet she's been loving this medic grow fold 6 led Ending week 4 the Purple Goat Cheese has started to get some growth with her she's starting to come back good after being topped took a couple extra days but she's starting to pick up on some growth

Growing well.

Fin de mis plantitas. Recomiendo el banco greenhouseseeds primera Vez que cultivo ese banco y salieron excelentes...

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter. I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time. Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely. Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy Big bomb is still growing thick and have bud sites everywhere Now I'm ready for the next batch and ready to get dialed in!
