It's been another easy week in the Fastbuds tent. I've spent most my energy preparing my outdoor grow space for a wild summer. At this point, there's not much I can do except water and watch my plants grow. I've added videos of other plants in relations to the mimosa cake just for visual aid. I also added a photo of my cheese auto.. it's still drying! With the Mimosa cake auto I've been taking fan leaves off slowly for weeks now. This is a very busy plant. She is also going to run later than I expected. She's on day 76 and I suspect 95 to 100 days to finish time. I'll have to keel feeding her bloom nutes for the next few weeks; her 3 gallon bucket ran out of nutrients already. Feeding schedule: water, feed, water, feed Step 1- I'll take an aeration stone and use it to remove the chlorine residual in the water... this only takes 8 - 12 hours depending on water temperature. (I'm a water treatment process operator, I have checked several times in the past with my own Cl2 meters). Step 2 - add Calmag Step 3- add bloom nutes Final step - pH the water accordingly (very important that this is final step) A TDS residual of 500 ppm equals roughly 1 E.C. (I just double it)

######################################### HARVEST (Day 93 / June 4) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x2 space because of heater and dehumidification and other plants (Outlier Z). This plant used a dedicated CMH 315 light. The plant was grown in hydroponics using a custom single-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. I also experimented with Rapid start in the RDWC system, but I didn't see explosive root growth relying on Rapid Start as an additive to the system verse using it when starting in rapid rooters which worked well. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Topped twice for a mainline structure and she really spread out. Sparkling golf ball size nugs down the branches and spaced out nicely. The scent off her was like burned rubber/tires or maybe fresh blacktop. A single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- No dark period and no flush. On day 93 she was chopped and hung to dry. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- Entire plant hung upside down for 15 days. The temps were dialed in at 60F by using the S6 intake fan pulling air from the AC through intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 7, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. Trimmed on day 18. Then the jars were left open in the tent for another 12 more days for a full 30 day dry at 60%/60F while rolling the jars frequently. Also ran dehumidifier in the tent but it only ran for 1-2 minutes every hour because the AC was doing most of the dehumidification on the intake. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- Trimming was an absolute breeze. All swelled nuggets, very little sugar leafs left to trim. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and chose not to use a boveda this time. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. Jars were left open in the tent for a total dry time of 30 days from harvest keeping the tent at 60%/60F. Once closed, the jars were burped once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange until a. 62% was maintained in the jar. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 30-day dry and 14-day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== 180.41g (6.44oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== 57g (2.03oz) ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Total: 238.41g (8.51oz) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 238.41g / 4 sqft (2x2 canopy) = 59.60g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 315 Watts / 4 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 78.75 watts per sqft. 238.41g / 315 watts = 0.76 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- Bag appeal is top-notch. Trichome covered, with aromas of that unique 'kush' you can quickly identify based on experience. Best OG Kush I've ever tried, hands down! The flavour is kushy, smoke is smooth and definitely my favorite strain in my tote of cured harvests at the moment. I can't keep my hands off of the jars. Definitely not a daytime strain, even for experienced users, although I'll use it in the afternoon when life is throwing curve balls. The effects rise you up, then sets you right down and will wash away all that anxiety after a long day. Put it this way....if I puff a few hours before bed, I still feel it the next morning when I peel my eyes open. No joke. I'll definitely be growing this one again, maybe even next run because I'll be sad when I run out. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Not running more of this amazing plant. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- This was the first run at my new residence so it will take some time to get it dialed in. I had some calibration issues which are now fixed. I'm going to be shooting for 1gram per watt on the next run. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- DarkOwl is the best autoflower I've grown yet. I'm now eager to give the Bruce Banner #3 they released a run and will surely acquire future releases from DarkOwl. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!

Doing well in the soil with top dress of organic nutrients. I may do a second week of the Grow version before the transition to Bloom.

8/18 1:54 AM MONDAY goats are doing great. I took some clones. I think I’ll start some new ones. I’ve harvested all the other ones but I don’t feel like going through that process. 3AM looks good, there is a Bubbles Blueberry F4 that flipped and is ALL seed......the plants sucked but I have thousands of Bubbles seeds now, so thats something. 3:30 AM I found flowers on all of the bubbles blueberry F floor plants. I’ve never had other plants flower that the only ones that did that so I hate them. I will never grow them again.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 605AM. American Journal time on banned dot video...ALSO I MIGHT have pollenated Tyson Gelato 44 with Bubbles Blueberry F4....!!!!!!!!! Should I be happy or angry?????????🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!update!!!!!! 8/19.....OH FUCK IT WAS ME....!!! the plants are normal, and fine. Stress Induced self seeding is NORMAL on F4's 845AM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🚨⚡️ Combining Bubble's Blueberry F4 and Gelato 44 would likely result in a strain with a complex and intriguing profile, blending the best characteristics of both parent strains. Here's what you could potentially expect: 1. Appearance Dense, resin-rich buds: Both strains are known for their dense and trichome-laden buds. Expect a cross to inherit this trait, potentially boasting exceptional resin production. Vibrant colors: Bubble's Blueberry F4 often exhibits beautiful blue and purple hues, which may be expressed in the cross, possibly alongside the deep greens and purples found in Gelato 44 phenotypes. 2. Aroma and flavor Sweet and fruity with creamy undertones: Bubble's Blueberry F4 is prized for its sweet, fresh blueberry aroma with hints of vanilla cream and a subtle earthiness. Gelato 44 has a complex terpene profile, often described as combining creamy, fruity aromas with a sweet, gassy smell and hints of vanilla, citrus, and mint. A cross could combine these, leading to a rich, sweet, and creamy flavor with prominent blueberry notes, potentially balanced with the gassy, sweet, vanilla, citrus, and mint hints of Gelato 44. Diverse terpene profile: Gelato strains are known to contain terpenes like caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, and linalool, which contribute to a woody, peppery, spicy, relaxing, citrusy, and floral aroma. Pinene is the dominant terpene of Gelato 44. Bubble's Blueberry F4 boasts terpenes contributing to its sweet blueberry, vanilla cream, and earthy, floral aroma. The cross would likely present a complex blend of these terpenes. 3. Effects Relaxing and euphoric: Both strains tend to offer relaxing and euphoric effects. Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as deeply relaxing, calming, and potentially sleepy, promoting introspection and potentially leading to a nap. Gelato 44 is reported to induce euphoria, relaxation, and happiness. It provides a body-centered high with relaxing effects, balanced with a clear-headed, creative, and euphoric experience. The cross could deliver a combination of these effects, starting with an uplifting euphoria and mental clarity, transitioning into deep physical relaxation without necessarily leading to heavy sedation. Potential for creativity and focus: Gelato 44 is often associated with promoting creativity and focus, while Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as inducing "slightly weird thoughts". The resulting strain might offer a unique blend of these mental effects, fostering creativity and introspection. Medicinal potential: Both strains are reported to help with stress relief, pain management, and mood enhancement. Gelato 44 is also used to help with insomnia. The cross could potentially offer a combined benefit for those seeking relief from these conditions. 4. Growth characteristics Compact and sturdy plants: Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as a compact, sturdy plant with dark green, broad leaves and short internodal spacing. Gelato 44 plants grown indoors tend to be bushy and reach moderate heights of up to 120cm. The cross would likely exhibit a similar morphology, being adaptable to both indoor and outdoor environments. Moderate flowering time and good yield: Bubble's Blueberry F4 has an indoor flowering time of 55-65 days. Gelato 44 flowers in 8 to 9 weeks. The resulting strain would likely have a moderate flowering time and could be a good yielder, depending on the phenotypes and growing conditions. In conclusion, a cross between Bubble's Blueberry F4 and Gelato 44 would likely be a visually appealing plant with dense, resinous buds that may exhibit blue and purple hues. The aroma and flavor would be a delightful mix of sweet blueberries, vanilla cream, and potentially gassy, sweet, vanilla, citrus, and mint notes. The effects would likely start with an uplifting euphoria, gradually transitioning into deep physical relaxation, while also promoting creativity and focus without necessarily inducing heavy sedation. This combination could make it a well-balanced strain for both recreational and medicinal use."" 950 MAKING A NEW STRAIN....I PUT THE MALES IN WITH THEM, WHY NOT?? 1145PM....NOTICING: across all plants, even Dark Opal Basil the Amino treatment system is showing little nails at the edges of the leaves. I dont know the name..where the glands are it looks like the leaf becomes sharper, and the glands at the tips of the edges look SHARPER, like growing little fingernails!!! What the hell is that??? ENLARGED GLANDS ON LEAF SURFACE??!! WITH AMINO, WHAT COULD THAT MEAN? I ASKED.....WOW!!!!!!!!! HEY HEY I SAVED THE WORLD TODAY.....YOU'RE WELCOME.🚨 ""Could the system im working on be used to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed in commercial farming. Could it help the world?Thought for 43sPotential for Reducing Nitrogen Fertilizer in Commercial Farming Yes, the system you're working on—a nutrient mix combining base fertilizers like Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Grow with amino acid-based biostimulants (e.g., EAA, proline, L-glutamine, Setria Glutathione, TMG, and L-glycine)—has strong potential to be adapted for reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer needs in commercial farming beyond cannabis. While your mix is tailored for autoflower cannabis, the core principle of using amino acids and biostimulants to enhance nutrient efficiency is well-supported in broader agriculture. These compounds act as biostimulants that improve plant uptake of N, boost stress tolerance, and promote growth with less inorganic N input, potentially cutting fertilizer use by 20-30% or more while maintaining or increasing yields.""" 🚨🚨🚨⚡️Could It Help the World? Absolutely—reducing N fertilizer globally through systems like yours could have profound positive impacts on the environment, economy, and food security. Nitrogen fertilizers are essential for feeding the world but contribute to pollution, with nearly two-thirds of applied N becoming environmental waste. Optimized biostimulant approaches could cut usage by up to 32% while sustaining crop production, addressing multiple global issues. Environmental Benefits: Less N reduces runoff causing eutrophication (algal blooms killing aquatic life), air pollution (e.g., ammonia emissions), soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and ozone depletion. It also lowers greenhouse gas emissions—fertilizer production and use account for ~2% of global GHGs, exacerbating climate change. Economic and Social Gains: Farmers save on fertilizer costs (a major expense), with co-benefits like higher yields under stress improving food security for billions. Reduced N loss enhances soil health long-term, supporting sustainable farming and human health by minimizing pollution-related diseases. Global Scale: If widely adopted, it could redistribute N more equitably (e.g., from over-fertilized regions like China to under-fertilized Africa), maintaining grain production while cutting pollution. Organizations like FAO emphasize improving NUE to combat climate and biodiversity crises. In summary, your system aligns with emerging biostimulant strategies that could significantly cut N use in farming, offering real-world help by fostering sustainable agriculture and mitigating environmental harm. Scaling it would require field trials, but the potential is promising.""🚨. 8/19 439AM I needed a smoking jacket 60's costume and a mini wagon to fall off of....l..AND I GOT BOTH BABY...IM WEIRD ON A WHOLE NUVA LEVAL 8/19 530AM DID.

This mix is tailored for the flowering stage of autoflowers (likely weeks 4-8), aiming to support bud development, stress resilience, and secondary metabolite production (e.g., cannabinoids and terpenes). Below, I evaluate the mix’s efficacy, dosing, and potential impacts based on cannabis research, plant physiology, and grower insights, addressing your goal of reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer needs and optimizing autoflower performance. #### Components and Their Roles 1. **Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Bloom A & B (1.5 ml/L each, 3 ml/L total)**: - **Purpose**: Designed for the flowering phase, Bloom A & B provide a lower N, higher P-K ratio (e.g., ~2-4-7) compared to Grow A & B, plus secondary nutrients (Ca, Mg) and chelated micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn). At 1.5 ml/L, it’s about 37.5% of the full strength (4 ml/L each), delivering moderate nutrients (EC ~0.8-1.2 mS/cm) suitable for autoflowers in early to mid-flower, minimizing N overload while supporting bud formation. - **Effects**: Promotes dense bud growth, resin production, and flower site development without excessive vegetative growth. The pH Perfect technology stabilizes pH (5.5-6.5), reducing lockout and deficiencies (e.g., Ca/Mg-related spotting). Growers report 10-20% denser buds and improved aroma at this dose in hydro/coco. - **Suitability**: Ideal for autoflowers in flower (weeks 4-6), as it avoids high N that could cause “clawing” (as you previously observed) while providing P-K for bud bulking. 2. **Biostimulant Stack** (per 2 L solution): - **Proline (400 mg, 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Osmoprotectant; reduces oxidative stress (ROS), enhances drought/salinity tolerance, and stabilizes enzymes. Supports terpene/cannabinoid production by protecting cells during flower stress. - **Dose Evaluation**: 200 mg/L (~1.74 mM) is within the effective range (100-300 mg/L) from plant stress studies. Cannabis trials suggest it mitigates heat/light stress, enhancing resin quality. Good dose for autos in flower. - **Setria L-Glutathione (250 mg, 125 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Antioxidant; scavenges ROS, protects photosynthesis, and detoxifies heavy metals. Enhances yield and bud quality by reducing oxidative damage during flowering. - **Dose Evaluation**: 125 mg/L is safe and effective (100-300 mg/L in plant studies). Aligns with maize trials showing yield protection under stress. Well-suited for autos without risking buildup. - **L-Glycine (500 mg, 250 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Precursor for glutathione and proteins; detoxifies heavy metals, supports root health, and enhances nutrient uptake (e.g., Ca). Reduces toxicity in contaminated soils and boosts flower resilience. - **Dose Evaluation**: 250 mg/L is within the effective range (100-500 mg/L). Higher than your previous mix (100 mg/L), but still safe; supports GSH synthesis and complements glutathione. - **TMG (Trimethylglycine, 400 mg, 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Methyl donor and osmoprotectant; enhances heat/drought tolerance, membrane stability, and terpene gene expression. Supports bud density and aroma. - **Dose Evaluation**: 200 mg/L (~1.7 mM) matches plant study ranges (200-500 mg/L). Higher than your prior 100 mg/L, enhancing stress protection without osmotic imbalance. #### Combined Effects This mix is well-tailored for autoflower cannabis in the flowering phase, balancing low-N bloom nutrients with biostimulants to maximize bud quality and resilience: - **Bud Development and Yield**: Connoisseur Bloom’s P-K focus drives dense bud formation, while proline, glutathione, and TMG protect against flower-stage stresses (e.g., high light, heat), potentially increasing yield by 15-30% (e.g., 150-300 g/plant in hydro/coco). Glycine enhances nutrient uptake, supporting larger calyxes. - **Terpene and Cannabinoid Quality**: TMG and proline upregulate terpene synthesis (e.g., limonene, myrcene), enhancing aroma and resin. Glutathione reduces oxidative damage, preserving cannabinoid stability (THCA/CBDA). No EAA in this mix avoids N-driven potency reduction. - **Stress Resilience**: Glutathione and proline scavenge ROS, while TMG and glycine bolster osmotic and metal stress tolerance. This is critical for autoflowers, which are prone to stunting in flower under environmental swings. - **Nutrient Efficiency**: Glycine and TMG enhance uptake of Connoisseur’s chelated nutrients (e.g., Ca, Mg), reducing N needs by improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). This aligns with your goal of reducing N fertilizer in commercial farming. - **Microbial Support**: Glycine fosters beneficial microbes, synergizing with Connoisseur’s organics for root health in coco/soil. #### Dose Evaluation - **Total Biostimulant Load**: 1550 mg in 2 L = 775 mg/L total (200 mg/L proline, 125 mg/L glutathione, 250 mg/L glycine, 200 mg/L TMG). This is within safe limits. 8/22 4:13 AM took a video of both of the Tyson gelato plants and the bubbles plant is in there with them. They all have pollen so I may have crossed pollinate it successfully. I won’t know for a while but everyone’s doing great and remember the two Tyson plants were poorly germinated and grew in one pot and I ripped them in two pieces not thinking they would survive and they both did and they both grow very well considering and they didn’t have any signs of stress. They didn’t grow male flowers. They’ve just been completely strong.👍👍👍👍🥊🥊🥊🥊 8/22 11:20 PM. I dried some Tyson gelato overnight. I grind some up and it has the most amazing smell. I can’t even describe really what it is. I’ve never smelled this in a plant before I didn’t know this was possible and I’m kind of old and beat up, so my smell doesn’t work, but it’s almost like cream of wheat cereal with maple syrup. It’s the craziest thing it’s just absolutely beautiful.🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊👍👍👍👍👍

This week seem like the plant didn’t eat much of the fertilizer so we decided to push the Co2 up a bit, but its still drink crazy amount of water. Some of the plant were starting to smell and also getting a bit frosty. Hope that everything will be all good, have a good day to everyone who reading this Cheer!🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🇹🇭👍🏻

soo one was way more photogenic than the other,AGAIN. 😅 I'm proud of me😁😁 oh and how DOPE is the timelapse? 🤯🔥🔥🔥

Really happy with the performance of my 2 Haze berry plants by Royal Queen Seeds, both phenos have the exact same fragrance I love in this strain, very fruity and sweet smell it makes you forget about everything, you feel like you're in the Caribbean just enjoying a nice fruit salad, I cannot wait to see how this ladies will get on the 4th week of flower! Stay with me to see how this 2 girls keep developing their beautiful flowers! 💚❤️💛

Flowering phase

Purple galore! I am really excited about this strain, can't wait to see the final product! I have used a couple of BuildASoil products, and they have both seemed to help tremendously. Today is day 49 from seed, so about another month and they should be ready to go. I hope so, because I'm going on vacation in July so they have to be done by then. Overall, extremely happy with this grow, just waiting patiently for the results.

Alles sieht gut aus

6 weeks in veg from seedling

Produzione di resina fuori di testa! Profumo molto dolce e fruttato

Добавил СО2 и поливаю удобрениями

Day 23 of flower! If im correct. I'm here a little sick but trying. The girls are doing very well 1 of them is very very bushy while the others are magnificent 👌 the spacing and the way the girls grew their branches outwards is beautiful. I did not do my best this grow because I simply don't have the equipment I need and alot has been happening lately. I'm glad I'm going to have some top notch smoke in a couple of weeks because they smell SOO SWEET.... I never smelled something like that.. it hits your nose and goes all the way down.

Today is the start of week 3. Recap on week 2: everything went pretty smoothly. Both firls for nutrients this week and took well to them. As well as starting to feed, they also both entered their forever homes, and both seem very happy and healthy. P2 is having some discoloration on her first true leaves, but all of the new growth looks good, so I'm going to write it off as she wasn't happy about no nutes for so long. All-in-all I think this week went well. P1 is showing promising signs of making a full recovery from her near drowning as a seedling, so that's great!

Den Damen gehts super. Die 3 Sacitrus sind so uniform man könnte meinen es wären steckis eines phänotyps. aber auch die anderen drei machen sich gut. vorallem die bubble haze
