🗓️ Day 78 – Embracing the Power of Nature Another week has passed in this beautiful outdoor grow journey. The plant continues to surprise me with its strength and resilience. This past week brought intense sunlight and scorching heat, but no changes were made to the technique – I still rely entirely on nature’s rhythm. No additives, no boosters – just clean tap water and occasional Plagron Bat Guano top-dressings every 10 days. 🌿 Growth & Structure After recovering from the strong winds and heavy rain earlier this month, the plant has bounced back stronger than ever. The main cola is stretching tall and proud, and the side branches are developing nicely with consistent flower formation. 🔎 Health Observation The leaves remain lush green with no signs of deficiency or stress. The overall structure is symmetrical, with good internodal spacing and healthy development. Some light purple tint appears in the petioles – likely a natural trait under current temperature fluctuations. 💡 Minimalist Approach This grow has been intentionally simple – an experiment to see how far genetics and nature alone can take a plant. The result so far is impressive, especially for a FastBuds autoflower grown without any synthetic nutrients or intensive care. 🌸 Flowering Stage The plant is now in full flowering mode. Bud sites are clearly swelling, and trichome production has started. With a bit of patience and consistent care, we’re on track for a natural and aromatic harvest. 🌱 Soil & Feeding • Organic super soil mix • Occasional Plagron Bat Guano (every 10 days) • Tap water only – manually aerated before use No bottled nutrients. 📷 See photos for close-up bud development and overall plant structure. The FastBuds 20:1 CBD strain is proving to be a great outdoor choice – vigorous, hardy, and perfectly suited for low-maintenance growers.

Cali crasher grew great under the Hortibloom Solux 350. She has some nice colas on her. She did start drying out when I had her in darkness. Her time has come so it is not a big deal.i dud have to treat her for mites when she was vegging. Beside that there was no major grow issues. Thank you Hortibloom, and Doctor's Choice. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Greetings to all my friends from all over the world, greetings to you from Russia! Another week has gone and I am updating my diary. The plants show healthy growth, but when I arrived at a secret place, I found that one of the 400 watts burned out, so part of the tent was not lit. This lamp has served me for about seven years, but nothing lasts forever. When I did the defolation, the second 250-watt lamp burned out, but unfortunately it worked for more than a year. It's good that I had replacement lamps. Due to the problem with the lamp, one side of the plants did not develop very well. But despite this, the processes of the plant became of sufficient size so that I took them for cloning. I took ten shoots, placed them in a hormone gel and transferred them to Rootriot, moving the clones into the greenhouse creating a microclimate there.

stopped feeding the plants nutrients let them flush for the final few weeks.

Good plant lots of defoliation

Todo tranquilo 🍀

7/1/23 - Day 19 I do water changes weekly. The new weeks start off with a water change. Water changes always scare me, it's the mixing of nutes and balancing the PH. It sounds easy in theory but in practice you want to interfere with the PH asap. But I was able to let the LEAF box empty the water, I filled it up with RO water, LEAF then dosed all my nutes. After that i came in a PH balanced it. (PH balance is something LEAF will be able to do, but there was a bug in the software so instead of having LEAF dose the PH i decided to do it manually for now. The Roots are INSANE! I bet by time I'm done there will be 1+ gallons of water displaced by the roots. I almost started cutting her lower leaves at the base, but I decided to let them grow for a bit. If they grow out some more i will be able to scrogg them and then cut the leaves below after they are trained up a bit. The lights have kicked on and everything looks in order. The plant looks great too, she might be in a small amount of WTF because of all the PH changes but i think the drastic changes were kept to a minimum. She looks happy. As always ill update you tomorrow. 7/3/23 - Day 21- I trimmed some of the lower leaves on the bottom, I'm leaving her bushy still, I won't want to cut any more branches if I can, I need the branches from the bottom to reach the sides of the Scrogg net. In the next couple of days being apple to Scrogg and stretch her while Shes still moldable. 7/5/23 - Day 23 - I added some training lines to some of the branches. I need them to be as spread out as possible going into the Scrogg net. I'm a big fan of not trimming too much as she grows. I don't mind there being some foliage down below. I will cut as needed if it looks like the lower areas are sprouting too much of the little leaves, but for the most part, I let nature do its thing. She's drinking a ton of water now. I am getting my RO water dropped off by the five gal loads. I just got the membrane for my RO150 unit that I plan on having up and running within a couple of weeks so I can start making my own water. 7/6/23 - Day 24 - I added a picture of my RO water setup. It cannot be set up permanently, so this was a great solution. You can see how I was able to tie my branches down, next time I will drill a few holes on the side of the pot. This is a great solution for anyone looking to Scrogg and manage the vertical height. Also, you can see on the top branch there was some pulling, so much so that it started to pull the plant and it created a small lump. All good but just goes to show how pliable these plants are. Looking good and I'm excited for the next couple of weeks! If you are looking for this experience check out https://www.getleaf.co/

Love this strain. My new favorite. I'll be back with more information.

well im at the end of week 2 flower everything is going Great not a lvl as I hoped but every Bud is getting a lot of light Things look promising I belive this will be a decent harvest. I will change some things next grow I got a new 4x4 Gorilla grow tent with a NEW SET OF 5 Gal Air pots and another batch of living Soil AKA SUPER SOIL Ill explain how come living soil makes a huge difference when using a soil medium. Ill dump a lot of up comning changes and why next time till the Stay Safe Stay Stoned Day 20 flower off to a awesome start the bottom is leafless with good air flow dropping tempts down now trying to Draw out the purple and other colors I cleared out everything with low pistil put out to allow air and room for the hearty buds

I have decided to chop the most mature plant of the three, even though it could go longer I was originally going to be chopping all three because I am about to leave on a trip, however a friend of mine is able to take care of the other 2 less mature ones. I was planning on just saying fuck it and chop them all but the less mature ones have still mostly white pistils and I can’t bring myself to do it, they started putting more weight on these past few days and I know if they just could get a few more weeks they will really be amazing with a lot of weight. Interesting that one matured faster than the other 2, although I think this corresponds with the size of the buds as the mature plant’s buds are not particularly big, hoping to pull 25 grams at least from it. The less mature plants are beginning to bulk and as I stated earlier, I just can’t chop them and ruin all their potential yet. The calyxs are swelling a lot and looking super tasty. Will continue to add updates for the other 2 plants

Week 16 Flower: Embracing the Flush & Celebrating the Shine 🌟 It’s week 16 of flower, and a pivotal moment in the grow journey! This week, we’re diving deep into the flush phase, a critical step in achieving those clean, flavorful harvests. 🌿 Switching over to just water with 0.5 ml/L of System Clean marks the start of what I like to call the “So Cal Flush.” We’ll break down the whys behind this practice, the benefits of flushing, and how it sets the stage for smooth, aromatic results.

All going well, week 10 flower, thinking of harvesting next weekend, would be around day 73~, I'll keep an eye on them and see how they look, but I'm definitely bringing down the sour diesel and one or two others :)

This was the last week of flowering and therefore I stopped giving any nutrients for a good FLUSH. This is very important in order to avoid a harsh smoke later when the plants are dried, because any nutrients left in the plant will burn your throat and the weed will hurt while you smoke it. Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants have developed well and carry hefty top buds on each side branch and also the main cola. The lower regions also carry buds, but those are a little more fluffy and not so big and dense as the top buds. Every bud is COVERED IN TRICHOMES and the plants glisten in the light, they are FROSTY AS HELL! The plants have a STRONG AROMA now, which is sweet and peachy with hints of sandalwood. They smell ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and I cant wait to try the dried end-product. All in all I can only recommend this strain, its not the biggest yielder, but definitely delivers connoisseur grade weed. Hats off to Mat from House of the Great Gardener in Canada, he has made another GREAT cross and I hope he will release this variety soon! 👍😍😎

Aquí dejo imágenes de la segunda semana! He estado un poco liado y se me ha pasado! Mañana actualizaré también la 3ª semana que ya mañana arrancamos la 4ª y no van nada mal!! La bolsa de CO2 THE EXHALE está cumpliendo y en si todos los parámetros del cultivo hasta el momento se están cumpliendo, ya os iré contando!!

Hello everyone 😎 Week 5 of flower for the Tropi🌴🍪 The top buds are ready✂️ Harvest in 2-3 times… Amazing buds solid as a diamond 💎 It’s not easy to get this result with an autoflower. Exactly what I’m looking for and this is why I love so much Fast Buds🤩 And when you get this result the trim is easier😁

Hello everyone 😎 Week 5 of flower for the Banana Purple Punch auto from Fast Buds 🍌😈 She grew fast with a beautiful color,for the nutrient 4ml/L terra bloom & 1ml/L power buds & Green sensation 1ml/L from Plagron Mars Hydro SP-6500 70% Have a nice day 😋

This is the whole flowering cyclus posted in one week.

questa è la pianta come si presentava ad inizio fioritura non saro' preciso con le settimane di fioritura la pianta è molto forte e resistente stava soffrendo un po' di caldo e l'ho aiutata con un po di silicato di potassio (barrier)

******** Week 9 - Feb 3 to 9/20 (Days 57 - 63 from seed popping out) She has continued to swell this week and stacking her buds. The hairs are turning this week. More at the top of the plant but some on the bottom as well. Still has many white hairs and a good thickness as well. This week has been one of those......is today the last feed.....no one more.......is today last feed......no one more.....🤨🧐🤨🧐 😃😃😃 And so it finally came down to Saturday Feb 8, Day 62 as the last day of feed. Plan it to just flush with water and Rezin & Liquid Weight to the end.....or early 70’s anyway. Kind of a boring week in a way because she has been such an awesome girl to grow!! She is dense with a lot of leaves but I am trusting this next week will continue to bring significant swelling. She has been fine with the fluctuations that happen through a grow and has been vigorous all the way through.....great genetics! She is a real beautiful little girl with how she has grown....a couple of the pictures on the stand show just how well she grew and then how much bud is now on those branches. On bigger branches I would clip off another node lower than I did to give a little more energy to fill in the tops. Not sure this girls top colas will fill in as much as one would like but........take your time girl😀 Also.....I think it could be worth a run doing this girl in a 5 gal pot.....if she has no problem going 77 days or so then maybe there is time build a nice mass???? I am concerned at the end of the week that I may be seeing signs of root bound with the leaves clawing down?????? Don’t think its light.....was the same the morning before watering so don’t feel its over watering......could be nitrogen toxicity???? Not going to chase it at this stage but would like to know for next run to correct. Became more visible Feb 6/7/8 idea....appreciate any comments😕 Have not spent anytime looking at Trich colour this week.....too early anyway. What I have noticed is one crazy amount of frost forming on this girl in the last week!!!!! Wednesday had to do a double take on some of the images and zoomed in on a bud.....DAMN!!!!💪👍🙏 Hope she continues to be happy and keeps pushing out them trichs.......DAMN😃😃😃 Changed the light schedule again this week. Moved her to 19.5 hours of light because she is still not falling to sleep at lights out. Will be avoiding use of Flawless Finish for now and I suspect she has two weeks left in her. If something changes and she ripens quicker then may use. Little more detail to come.......... Feb 3/20 - Day 57 - Water feed today. Runoff in tray was 6.1pH.....good - 3L given with Sensyzime @ 1ml/L. 80ppm and 6.15pH going in. Feb 4/20 - Day 58 - Full feed today. Pot still had some weight. - 3L off full feed with 1125ppm and 6.05pH - Runoff water in tray before feed: 900ppm and 6.03pH - Runoff water in tray after feed: 1300ppm and 6.2pH - she had small leafstrip today. - removed most of the LST today. Left two ties. Feb 5/20 - Day 59 - nothing today. - Light cycle changed to 19.5hrs on and 4.5hrs off. - Her hairs are still long an reaching.....good sign for growing longer Feb 6/20 - Day 60 - Verify medium today....close to flush - 3L feed of Sensyzime and Rezin @ 2ml/L and Liquid Weight @ 1.5ml/L. = 100ppm and 5.8pH - Runoff was 680ppm and 6.25pH. - ppm is a little low and pH is creeping up. Feb 7/20 - Day 61 - Nothing today, still heavy. - slow growth happening??? Thickening behind the scenes??? Feb 8/20 - Day 62 - ********Last Feed******** - Full strength feed......base nutes both at 0.5ml/L - 6L feed with 1150ppm and 5.4pH going in. - pH was a little high so lowered for this feed. - Medium got a good soak and good runoff amount - Runoff: 1500ppm with 6.05pH - ppm might be a little high but hopeful she will go two weeks......will be flush a fair bit of water at minimum. Feb 9/20 - Day 63 - Dry out day - the "CLAW" is more prominent today. Mainly on top couple of leaves on the large colas. - raised the light a bit.....will use lower pH water in flush......not much else other than let her dry out at this stage....... Hope we can drag out harvest day until Feb 22 or 23rd.......🤞😁😁😁.....Thanks for the read and hope you have a smooth week!
