Thank you 420FASTBUDS!!!! BUDTRAINER.COM BUD CLIPS/ BUD CUPS 420FASTBUDS / GORILLA MELON

My Skunk Apple Run plant is still a bit young, but I can see those buds starting to form. It's a bit of a slow starter, with buds popping up all over the place instead of a nice even line. We'll see if adjusting the light cycle or its food might help it along. I'll keep you posted on any changes. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

05/06/2021 - Day 14 - First day of the 3rd week. MEMO: I'm using the following "names" for differentiating the two both in comments and pics: 🅰️ - "A" for the one transplanted in the garden soil and that will NOT receive any nutrient; 🅱️ - "B" for the one that will grow in the pot and that will receive nutrients. 👉 "A"is struggling a little after the transplant. Probably suffered a little or maybe she is focusing on the roots, idk. She is little if compared to "B" but she looks healthy so lets' go. 👉 "B" is GIANT! compared to "A". Can't say if the reason is the pot, the fertilizer, the luck or just the difference in transplant time, anyway she is flying 😂 Stem a little bended and unstable because he overgrew and had to cover it last week but not a big problem. Summer has come, sun is warm, all perfect. This week I'll probably proceed feeding "B" with "Easy Grow Booster Tablet" by RQS. Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny hot days 🤞☀️ - DD ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── UPDATE 10/06/2021 - Day 19 👉 After a lot of rain starting right today 7 days of feeding with "Easy Grow Booster Tablets" by RQS for "B" as planned. 👉 Also started some LST for "B", not for "A" because I think she is still to small :(

enjoying some holiday time to search through old Ska tunes, I found some original albums on archives.org < since the exodus UK cheese (1989?) has in the past been described to be from Sensi Skunk, I thought Ska was big in UK in 1989, so enjoying a connection between the music and the era. closet grow on-going as is last week.

Program DSP2E, Temperature DST2E, Humidity DSH2E, as well as the AMP3 sensor with PH and EC probes, are all in place. After calibrating the probes, AMP3 module works perfectly! It has a quick response in measurements, is accurate, and I am very happy about the possibility of online monitoring of liquid values. After day off use i can tell that all readings are very consistent, compared with Milwaukee, totally without all over the place measurements. Perfectly steady and on spot receding! The Program device runs flawlessly all day, and I hope it has solved all the problems I had with DH48-S timers. The humidity control operates without errors throughout the day, and it’s nice to see in the app when the module is active. Raise light as much as i can..50-55cm from canopy. Set off misting time from 30min to 35min @ day time , and from 35min to 45min @ night time Flush Tropicana Cookies' for one more day, tomorrow harvest, prepared tent for drying with humidifier , ventilation and temperature and humidity controllers PAR Map: Maximum PPFD is 850, minimum PPFD is 500.

Almost at the end of week 3 and the blow up is real. So much new growth everyday. Looking si damn healthy. Weird brown spots near the edges of leaves. Maybe ph maybe something else not sure but doesnt seem to be affecting the growth so I'll monitor the runoff next watering for ph . See were we are at other then that off to a geeat start;) Update on day 23. The ph is dailed in. so the spots are most likely me over watering the plant happens sometimes on day 22 I bent her completely over using soft plant tie :) this will help aid the lowers with light. I'm going keep it light this for the next 5 days then she start stretching off :) Another update on day 25 can see what lst training done right how the results looks :) I say less then 10 days she should start flowing and really start to stretch :) cant wait to see what this girl going look like soon enough

Start of Week 12 😉 Day 86 autumn comes too fast 😵😲😪 Day 88 time is running out 😲😯😧 Day 89 the weather turns to epic fail 💀💀💀 Day 90 the sun comes back again 😍👌 oh lord

6-23 Went from humidity dome to net pots. I used tap water and cal mag that I ph too low by accident, i thought I needed 5.5 but was at that for the day and top feeding, I may have put into net pots too early. I am making mistakes for sure but leanring and correcting them. I continued to try and dial in my VPD the next few days as well as temps and it took about two days. Now my temps and VPD are constant at around 1. Made some mistakes with the not calculating my ph pen and struggled with that the next two days from like 5.5-6.4 swings. 6-26 RO system came in and got it installed. Started to notice yellowing on the tips of my babies and decided I was going to flush everything and add my first dose of nutrients with the new clean water. 6-27 System flushed, nutes added, ppm 500 and ph 5.8, water temp 69, temp in tent is 79, humidity is around 67 % and are dialed in almost perfectly, its annoying dealing with this vivosun humidifier. I dont recommend, it doesnt work with inkbird, it shuts off randomly, its humidistat is highly inaccurate, but I have found a setting to make it work with another humidifier I have in the tent until my ac inifinity one arrives that I should be able to hook it up and be completely good. Ive been adjusting everything for night time right as the lights go off so i can keep my vpd around 1 at night as well, then wake up in the morning at 7am and refill my humidifiers and adjust my settings for day time. Its been working great for getting that dialed in. 6-28 Things have been going great since flushing the system and feel like they are improving and starting to grow a bit faster now! Adjusted my Ph from 6.2 back down to 5.8 and everything seems to be going a little better, at least i feel a bit better about it all. 6-29 Things have been going smoother, they seem to be loving the the nutrients and had a bit of growth quickly! PH was at 6, I'm letting it rise to at least 6.2 before I adjust it back down. Temp and humidity have been great, no issues maintaining that as of now, the little system and settings I have are working nicely. The AC infinity controller is awesome but takes a bit to figure out the right settings for where I wanted it, but going well now. 6-30 No issues, things going well. Temp and humidity in control at 78 and 65sih. Water temp 69, ppm 520, and ph 5.8. I have not had to adjust the ph the last two days, its stays between 5.8 and 6.0 typically. They seem to be doing really well to me and growing fast, but this is my first grow so not sure, but I feel decent about it.

04/01/21. inicio de semana 07/01/21. hoy decidi apartarla un poco de las otras por que me mostro una flor macho😎 10/01/21. sigue apartada de las demas por mostrar flores macho pero lo dejare por que tiene buena genetica

Kiki gets her flowers. Increasing the watering frequency (note the "w" on her schedule) as she started to wilt on day 4. In theory, she only has two weeks left, but I think she may use the extea time to bulk up. thw color is starting to fade on the fan leaves close to the flowers. I am also doing a partial defoliation everyday.

OK. Now it's getting tough. I actually did not think it was going toever be real ' work '.... but good gravy... this is hard on my new titanium knee!

Well she’s in flush and I’m hoping for a great finish with some beautiful fades! She smells of sweet fruits and a deep smell of dank defiantly an OG dominating! Can’t wait to start her sister blackberry OG got my new tent now thanks to my sponsor! So will have more room to grow my plants properly! Under my 2x TS1000’s

Day 65 harvest of the main buds and some bigger side buds. Lower parts stay for a couple more days for better results.

The first week of flowering went great! The girl stretched nicely and she is growing vigorously. The pistils started showing up quite quickly, only a few days after I flipped her. I increased the PK as she showed slight signs of deficiency. She is packed with shoots, almost too much I would say, I hope she will have enough space for the buds to develop properly and healthily.

I notice her Ovules are very large in size. Quite unlike any plant I have seen before. I don't know if this is a 'primative' strain but it's quite unusual. So far: 147g wet Day 77 - Staggered harvest started. When I see a couple of amber trichomes on a bud I will harvest it and leave the rest. Day 84 - The other colas are getting there slowly. I don't know if it is the heat stressing her out 30 c in tent. We have a heatwave here right now.... Day 84 - 2.11g dry ground up Day 89 - 1.72g dry ground up Day 91 - What is left of her. She looks a mess lol. Day 94 - Final harvest trimmed up and drying. Final dry total to follow in a few days. Day 100 - Final weigh up. Well we got 72.46g on the scales today. I never did wet weight after the first harvest so dismiss that. In total I got 74.57g. It is a very small harvest for me but I don't think this plant has the genetics to be a big yielder.000

The week has been better than expected,,in the way of The Pinapple Express Auto bean from 420 Fastbuds popping and dropping her helmet in just 3 days,which was a great way to start,,! At the same time,,I’ve managed to hit the temperature and humidity levels that i like to grow in,,🌱🙏

Week 5 looking good! Easy going so far. No problems at all and still growing strong. Put on another few inches of height and signs of flowering have burst through. Starting to get a lovely sweet smell now
