Growbox Diary – Week 1: Banana Purple Punch Auto (FastBuds) First entry! I just put a Banana Purple Punch Auto seed in water. This is just a test to see how a plant reacts to slightly higher-than-ideal temperatures. I’ll be planting two more FastBuds seeds in winter, when the room is cooler (around 21–22°C) and the growbox can be managed more optimally. The growbox is 60×50×104 cm, enough space for two autoflowers in 6.5 L pots with some LST. Lighting is the Spider Farmer SF-1000D LED on adjustable pulleys, high enough to leave space for airflow, but low enough so the plant will get plenty of light. Ventilation: the 130 m³/h exhaust actively removes hot and humid air directly out the window. Air comes in passively from the room. Inside the box, a USB clip fan is running at maximum, pointing toward the extractor, to avoid stagnant zones. During a 1–2 hour test without plants, with the lamp on and fan at max, the box temperature reached 32°C. This is manageable for a test but higher than ideal for real growth. The room itself, with AC on, stays around 26°C. Without AC, in late August, it could easily rise to 28–28.5°C, creating a very stressful environment for the plant. So, the AC is necessary—for me and for stability of the setup. Substrate is BioBizz Light Mix with 25% perlite, perfect for aeration and drainage. Nutrients are Fish-Mix, Grow, and Bloom, with pH around 6.2–6.5. Dosages will be gradual to avoid stress. In a few days, this seedling will be transferred to the 60×60×180 cm growbox, where the temperature will drop a few degrees, allowing for better management and growth conditions. For now, this little seed is just a test—let’s see how she handles the slightly hot environment. Excited to watch her grow and keep this diary updated!

3ra semana de floración. Vienen muy bien solo algunas falla en el lst y el espacio que hizo que se espigarán un poco, sigo aprendiendo y de eso se trata :) me sorprende la resinación tan temprana así que pinta bien

Just doing some leaf tucking and very light defoliation when needed.

Extrema producción de tricomas de esta variedad! Gran parte de los frutos lo usaré para extraer rosin, su resina se ve ideal para este propósito. Fragancia exquisita a ponche de fruta dulce, con notas ácidas y un fondo de especias. Como mencioné anteriormente dejaré la parte de la reseña de efectos, sabores y sensaciones para cuando los cogollos estén secos y curados, por ahora solo puedo apreciar lo que mi vista y olfato me permiten captar. Totalmente conforme por la calidad de estas flores y agradecido de los amigos de Sweet Seeds por la confianza. Será hasta la cata entonces, buenos humos!

Not going to call flower on this one yet, but it looks like she is starting to stretch and switching to flower. She has really strong branches and everything is running smooth. Tried to spread her branches out a little but she fights every bend. Probably just do some defoliation on her and let do her thing.

Chuggin right along!

Well, another week has passed and it has been growing not exactly as I expected, but they warned me about using only base fertilizers with an inert soil and a higher ambient temperature, I could have a not so good result, well, it's one more experience and I liked it and let's see how it will be until the end of the cycle because the next one I already ordered a starter kit from the advanced nutrients line! Let's Go!

Everything is going great. These girls are doing well, six shooter #2 is a little behind in flowering. I may be forced to harvest her prematurely as my grow area is doubling as my drying area. I want to thank all the growers that have helped me and those that have liked/followed me so far. I am excited for harvest and can't wait for next round. Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

Flower day 17 - All the ladies are looking great, starting to see a lot of bud sights & the smell is definitely getting stronger everyday I open the tent! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!🌱✌️🏼 Flower day 19- Got a bigger dehumidifier because I was having problems on days I would water the humidity would go through the roof at night so to prevent mold I bought a bigger dehumidifier but now it is throwing off so much heat the tent is pushing 90 degrees F at some points throughout the day so I’m not exactly sure how to fix the issue! Will definitely not be running so many plants in the next run for the 5x5! Hopefully things get better!😅😅

the girl went out into nature, although the weather is not very suitable for them yet, but I think she will manage perfectly :) I will visit them once a week :).

So this is how things are looking at the end of Week 3 of Flower, I have lost one lady due to a light leak in the garden...... Well so I believe because one of the ladies hermied on me. 😢😥 So I'm left with 3 ladies, 1 which I am 50/50 over because I saw a couple of sacks that I weren't too happen with. So Im just gonna keep a close eye on them.

Things going well again, the absolute dismay and fear of finding bud rot spreading through two plants has faded now, haha, the new air circulation setup seems to be doing the job Oddly I've made it through the whole grow to this point without any nutrient burn of the leaves but now that I begin to flush a little nute burn shows up on one plant, must have been some residual salts, only one or two are affected at all :)

Wow......... She grew an EXTRA 46CM this week........ I think she likes the new blue/daylight bulb. But it probably coincides with her peak flowering stretch tbh.
