Day 16 – Strengthening Outdoors Begins
Today marks the 16th day for my CBD Auto 20:1 from the FastBuds.com collection.
The little warrior is continuing to show good progress!
After a few days of gradual hardening off, I started taking the plant outdoors twice a day – once in the morning and once again in the afternoon – to introduce it to real sunlight and gentle outdoor conditions.
Each session lasted around 30–40 minutes, depending on the temperature and light intensity.
The weather has been quite typical for spring in Ramsgate: a mix of cloud cover with bursts of sun, with light intensity varying between 600–1100 μmol/m²/s.
The plant seems to be adapting well – no visible signs of shock or stress so far!
At the moment, I’m still cautious about leaving it out all day, as nights are still a bit too cold for such a young seedling.
But I can already tell: the stems are starting to strengthen, the leaves are becoming slightly thicker, and the plant is gaining confidence facing the outdoor elements.
This is a special project for me – a true budget-friendly outdoor grow, where I’m letting the natural light and environment shape the plant’s journey. No artificial supplementation – just patience, observation, and care.
Looking ahead:
In the coming days, if the temperatures stay kind (especially the mornings), I plan to gradually increase the time outside, and soon transition the plant to full outdoor life. Step by step, no rush.
Overall feeling:
Happy with the plant’s spirit and the direction this grow is taking. The bond between grower
and plant grows stronger with every little sun session!
Day 19 – Full Sun Adventure and Hydration
Today marks a big milestone for my CBD Auto 20:1 plant – its very first extended outdoor session!
The weather has been absolutely perfect, with bright, strong sunshine all day long, delivering a consistent light intensity above 1400 μmol/m²/s.
Feeling confident after a successful hardening-off phase, I kept the plant outside from the afternoon well into the evening, enjoying the natural elements.
To support the plant through this sun-filled day, I provided a generous watering with 1L of clean, pH-balanced tap water.
I continue to carefully oxygenate the water before use, promoting healthier root development and stronger overall growth.
The plant is responding beautifully:
Leaves are vibrant and standing tall.
Stem is gaining thickness and resilience.
Overall growth structure looks compact, healthy, and well-adapted to natural light.
I’m very pleased with the progress.
If temperatures remain favourable tomorrow, the plan is to move the plant outside from early morning and allow it to enjoy the full day’s cycle under natural light – another important step towards full adaptation to outdoor life.
One day at a time – and the journey continues!
Day 20 – First Full Outdoor Day!
Another big step forward for my CBD Auto 20:1 plant!
Today, for the first time, I moved the plant outdoors for the full day to enjoy the natural sun and fresh air.
The morning started strong, with a bright clear sky and an impressive light intensity of 1600 μmol/m²/s.
The air temperature was a perfect 22°C, giving the plant ideal conditions to embrace the full outdoor environment.
Observations:
Leaves are standing tall and reaching toward the sun, showing excellent energy and adaptation.
The stem is gradually thickening and strengthening, becoming more resilient with each day.
No signs of stress or drooping, even under intense midday light.
Environmental Conditions:
Full sun exposure throughout the day.
Light breeze, but nothing too strong – just enough to naturally strengthen the stem.
This is a major milestone, and the plant looks truly happy and energetic!
From here, the focus will be on gradually adapting it to full day-night outdoor conditions, allowing it to thrive naturally under the UK summer sun.
The outdoor adventure has officially begun – and Sators is back in the race stronger than ever!
Day 21 – Surviving the Heatwave, Growing Stronger
Another exciting day for my CBD Auto 20:1 grow!
The weather gave us a real test of strength yesterday, and my little warrior is showing amazing resilience.
Conditions:
Peak sunlight intensity: around 2000 μmol/m²/s – incredibly bright and intense!
Temperature in direct sunlight: reached up to 35°C during the day.
Nighttime temperatures still remain low, so for safety and steady development, the plant continues to be brought indoors overnight.
Despite the daytime heat spike, the plant handled it impressively well:
Leaves are vibrant and wide open, reaching confidently towards the light.
Stem has gained more thickness, showing clear signs of strengthening after the outdoor sessions.
No visible stress such as leaf curl, wilting or discoloration.
Observations:
The combination of intense sunlight and warm temperatures has definitely accelerated photosynthesis and growth rate.
At the same time, careful night protection ensures no shock from the colder UK nights.
Balancing between the power of the sun and the comfort of indoor shelter is paying off!
It’s fascinating to watch the plant adapt to real outdoor forces day by day – it’s growing not just bigger, but stronger, smarter, and more resilient.
The outdoor training continues… and so does the journey of “Sators” in this race!

Day 36. One girl is shooting the sky other still have that unhealthy look, made my mind - its genetics and i can't do anything.
Girls got second feed, looks happy and hopefully will bring some nice flowers.
Took some leaves down, spread a bit, but most of work will be done next week, if i will dare ;)))
Last time used Root Juice, added Acti-Vera, increased Bloom and Heaven.
Day 40. After last feed, girls got small rusty spots on 4-5 leaves total, cut out cal mag for couple weeks.
Heavy training, its always tricky to decide what to do with Autos and i have almost no knowledge, but i have SPA Queen and Midget aka Margaret ;))) both different, but bushy, had to clear Midget really heavily and still loads future airbuds left, but maybe ... ;)))
Girls drink 3 liters every day, highest rate ever, but i relate it to most powerfull exhaust ever.
Some leaves on both plants got strange mutation, like leaf tries to branch out ... Never seen anything like this. But by height i presume it happend on first feed, late Root Juice aftermath ?
Happy Growing !

Hi all buddies!
First crop from hydro nft growth.
Growth went well, I had some management problems in changing nutrients from veg to bloom which delayed the harvest for a week or two.
Sensi Seeds' Skunk # 1F is incredibly resistant to mold and insect attacks, very close internodes ensure low height and compact buds.
Unfortunately I chose the mother phenotype wrong, I found the lowest as I wanted but I lost the fatness of the buds present in other phenotypes, but the game was worth the same and I am very proud of it!
I collected after 94 days of flowering, the last 72h 20kg ice cubes in the tank and total darkness which the last 24h without irrigation.
After cutting I hung the whole plants in the tent for 24 / 48h 19 ° C 55% HR.
Two days of wet trim to 8 girls and I hung their colas in the tent to continue drying.
With a girl i tried dry trim but i will avoid next time.
After a week in the tent I cleaned the colas and removed all the sticks, I placed everything in airtight bags in the refrigerator for 5 days 12 ° C 65% HR (daily check).
Now dark storage room at a temperature of 18 ° C 65% HR.
At the last weighing a few days ago it was more than 500g, from now it does not lose any more weight.
Next week I will take pictures of the weigher and the finished harvest🍀🍀🍀
target!!🍀500g dry/cured🔥
Thank you GD community you are precious for everything, criticism, advice, curiosity, thanks 💚🌱✊🏼
Awesome people here on GD🔥🔥🔥

SO, the girls were doing so well into their second week I decided to do the unthinkable... I topped autos! 😳😳🤯🤯
I figured they were doing so well and hadn't entered flower yet; let's do our best to keep them small and get multiple good buds instead of just one. This will also give me the best opportunity to lst them down using ties. Stayed tuned for that!
The one that used to be last is coming in close third right now. She's upright and growing strong though so we'll see how she responds to the topping.
Dimmed to 40% but increased it today to 60%
Here are the lights details:
Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED
Model: MN150-022
Spectrum mode: V1
Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J
Thanks for stopping by!
You can find the light on Grow Diaries:

6/20/21 - They look great! On track and the stretch has stopped completely. See pics and video from today…
6/21/21 - Day 30 of flower! Half way there :) They’ve been drinking water without any runoff coming out of the pots. Also the stretch has stopped and they look good.
6/22/21 - On track. Good size buds and a good smell. Excited for harvest! The room is filling up with flowers.
6/23/21 - I am still feeding with the nutrients listed above which is Week 9 on the schedule.
6/24/21 - We are very happy with the growth and bud size. They look and smell great!
6/25/21 - They are doing well. Just flowering away. I’ll post pics soon. Other than feeding them I am just letting the plants flower. No techniques being used.
6/26/21 - I missed a week on the feeding schedule and gave it straight water. I’m going to run Week 9 again and go from there.

Que pasa familia, hemos vuelto para actualizar las skunk que ya tenemos cosechadas.
Que gran genética, y muy típica entre fumadores de hierba, un crecimiento más indico pero floración lenta bastante lenta, en teoría se supone que es Sativa, 17% thc en la tas con un tamaño medio pequeño pero flores mi compactas y dulces, un cultivo ni fácil ni difícil, sin más, bastante neutral para los cambios climáticos algo sensible con el aspecto alimentación.
La recomendaría en verdad, sobre todo para aquellos amantes del dulce.
Nos vemos en próximos proyectos fumetillas

Had no time to update the diary.
In week 5 of veg plants thrived as well.
Im going to take clones in week 6, 12 in total
And flip them into bloom.
Gave them 3L with 5ml/l connoisseur.
1ml/L calmag
Because I noticed some deficiencies starting to show..
Understandably so, you can see how much they grow the last few days, they needed some food!

As of day 21, the Blackberry plant is doing well! It is growing vigorously and will need to be controlled as it increases in size. The FIM has already helped a little, but I have started some LST with the Atlas plant trainer to start making the canopy wide and flat.
A few of the newest leaves have the very start of yellowing in their tips, so I think this plant is maxing out at 1.1-1.2 EC. I am going to keep it around 1ec for the rest of vegitative growth, as EC can drift upwards in the reservoir very slightly while the airstone is running. Runoff, PH, and other parameters are right where I want them! I have a new gallon of Calimagic coming, so I am switching back to it this week in preparation for early flowering.
Thanks for reading, happy growing, and stay safe! 👍🌱
Day 24: LST continues, the plant is growing quickly and is very lush. Outside of removing a few low growth tips that will never develop, I am going to try to leave as many leaves as possible. If this maxes out my humidity I will start taking a few lower leaves, and those that are too tightly squeezes in the center of the plant. Considering the plant's size as of day 24, I am hoping the flowering stretch isn't too strong or I will have to really work to contain this plant!
Day 25: earliest signs of flowering.
Day 26: runoff quantities were edging towards being too low as the plant has more foliage to transpire through, so watering adjusted to 5x per day, 15 second intervals. This is an increase from 60 seconds per day of watering to 75, and should accommodate the needs of the plant as it continues to grow.

This week seems to have gone fine no major problems to document. Girls are growing strong. Wouldn’t say it been a speedy process going into flowering but I have done some extensive training so that could be the reason for slower growth. Going to leave them alone now let them do there thing this next coming week

Welcome to my CBDV diary. Has been blast.. there's so much more to growing a CBD plant, my point is I'm far from where I want to be with the Quality of the end product as far as density goes. (I got the quality part down) she's 1 stinky sticky ass bitch.
Wk 9 Day 58-63 Plant was kept on feed till the bitter end. She was confided to the 70cm2 for her last few weeks of life but I've no doubt, if I had of kept her going under the FC 3000 she would of reached deeper down and gave me denser buds on top. There is so much airy ripe bud below I'd say it'll make up for 1/3 of the overall harvest. Which will be quite a lot. Id say in the 80-100g no doubt. She has some major big buds that are stacked with swollen calyexs that are glistening and very sticky. I can she's had enough. I didn't have the light to finish the end that the FC 3000 created on a lot of my autos. On most I clipped it away after I had to confine my plants to their own tents for good. But, she kept eating.
Wk10 63-67 I stopped everything nutrient wise. And let her finish the ride out on water until day 67 and she gladly ate what was in her pot and showed no signs of wanting more, so I hard flushed her 1x pot value (11L) and got a ppm of 900ish, so 2x (22ish) more the pot value until it came down to 210. And for 3 more days I left them girls drink what they could from the pot and left them under my 100w where they've lived the past 3-4 weeks and I'm gonna pull them this week, they are resting 30hrs already and then I'll pull them, and harvest them whole, roots and all will be pult and I'll shake the clay off, bag the roots and hang dry upside down, (so no dirt falls on the buds while drying from the roots) and will dry at 55-60 rh with a temperature of 17-19c. I'll try keep the RH around 59 but I'm not gonna worry too much if it differs from that range. I already cut a wee bud off her the today, just a small 1 to try her for taste. And I'll rate it on harvest. As she's low on CBD, I'll rate her on taste. But, she'll be a nice addition to my full THC smoke no doubt.
Never really removed any substantial growth from her to even call it a defoliation, there really was no need. I done a decent job at LST and my plants got rotated every day and I pult nodes/leafs this way and that. So, I'm happy with the results. She has a lot of girt and not too much lollipoped with a good amount of CBDV bud in 70 days. Very nice indeed..
Thanks so much for looking at my diary guys. I hope to do better the next time. But, as I am using dry additive powders I'm sure I'll be able to dial in that key nutrient ratio for my CBDS. She's been my biggest auto of this grow. At 71cm tall, and a big ass cola I am very happy. She has a lot of girt and stinks fruits, mainly passion, I'm guessing. As I've learnt, you don't know the true smell of your weed until you get at least a 2 month cure on it.
Harvest Day.. Day 70 was done on day 65 then I left as I like my weed little on the harsher side. She very punchy. Has like a deep wood smell but very citruses with hints of tropical fruits. I've harvested 6 autos today. And, its hard to pick up the smell. Very sweet smelling and citrus fruits. (Ill give a more independent smell profile upon the trim and hopefully she'll come into her true smell upon a 2 month cure. As all my bud is given)
To my sponsors from kannabia thanks so much for allowing me to try this plant. I've loved growing it. Hopefully I'll do it more justice on my next round of growing it.
And, to my sponsor from marshydro, she's a rock star. Thanks very much for all your help.
COUPON FOR MARSHYDRO
Use code "ggs" at any official marshydro site for a discount.
FC 3000 & MARSHYDRO LIGHTS
The FC 3000 300w it has a high ppfd 1525 umol/s, 2.85 efficacy and has the new UV addition which brings it closer to the (RA) spectrum, that's the Sun spectrum. The FC-FC-E has this, Also it has a much even PPFD making for a more evenly grown canopy and has a deep penetrative light as it allows you to move the light closer to your canopy with a reduced risk of light stress. The TS versions are a great light to. These are different though. As they have a much higher ppfd in the middle, so I suggest you rotate them plants and move em about to get the best out of the high PPFD
And to the community. Much respect for anyone that can grow their own bit of chronic. Fair play to you.
Enjoy your harvests and thanks for tuning in. Be sure to drop a like or comment so I can visit your diaries. Either way, thanks for dropping by.

Hi my friends!
Thank you all for such amazing support on this sweet journey 🙏✌️💚
I'm updating and uploading daily so if week not completed yet. Please revisit to see full week content.
So far everything is going great. Girls are are stretching nicely approx 2cm per 24h. It's looking that will cover entire scrog net with these 2 beauties. Simple plan for the week. Training on the net and maybe selective defoliation on week end.
Week updates:
20-26 Nov.
20/11 day 43
Girls adapting well to net😁
21/11 day 44
First watering for this week.
2.5 ltr each pot. Runoff approx 200-300ml from each. Runoff Ph Xena 5.9 Athena 6.0.
23/11 day 46
It's seems that they stretched at least an inch overnight 😁 absolutely love my 🍌💜👊 girls.
25/11 day 48
Second watering for this week. Approx. 3L each 🤤 runoff 150-200ml.
26/11 day 49
Athena was stretching so much that decided for sort of heavier selective defoliation and cleared good bit under the net. Xena is at the same stage of flowering as sister but she is still much smaller, branches are shorter and tinner, will wait bit longer before go any heavier on her. Was able to nicely relocate longer branches of Athena all over the net.
It's the end of this amazing week 😁
Thank you all for stopping by and for such amazing support on this bananas ride 🍌💜👊
Love you all brothers and sisters 💚💚💚

Officially 8 weeks today....... she is ready her trichomes are cloudy some milky only saw 1 or 2 amber trichomes I am flushing her until Sunday and will cut her down. I’m using a 5 gal DWC so from my understanding a 7 day flush is way more than needed. See you guys in a few weeks with the final results.
