WHAT UP AF'ERS?!?!
WEEK 5 UPDATE PT.1 — VEG + FAST BERRY
it's been in general a pretty damn hot week, but not making it too much over 95 for longer than a hour or so if ever, and getting down into the low 60's every night. between that, and the end of the second phase of the moon cycle culminating with the full moon growth has been really great across the whole garden.
VEG GARDEN:
cannabis aint the only plant that loves the super soil, and little dogs like the heat almost as much as the plants do.
FASTBERRY:
holy shit, she's really stretching now and the buds are really starting to show. so fun to watch this lady grow. the guys at fast buds seem pretty impressed with her, good to know that i'm doin' it right with at least one of my plants. cant wait to have a second shot to get all my plants growing like this is R2.
the last picture is on monday, rest of these are yesterday/today — carries over through rest of image sets in this post and the next.

WEEK 5 UPDATE PT.2 — GREEN CRACK, PURPLE RYDER, & SWISS CHEESE PHOTO
GREEN CRACK:
she's really hit her stride this week and is blasting up in height. starting to show buds about the same looking as the fastberry's about a week ago, so hoping that means she's just a 9 or 10 week'r instead of a 8 week'r like says on their site.
[same as last post, first images are yesterday/today, except last one which is from monday.]
PURPLE RYDER:
def kicking ass, growing very fast right now. looking back through my past months of pasts, she is on a similar track as the fastberry was on at same age. i really hope they both go purple.
SWISS CHEESE PHOTO:
i've been trying to keep more of the focus on the autos for this journal, but its been a rough/eventful week for the swiss cheese. i didn't move pepper plants out of the way well enough when i was trying to train down her main nodes to 90 deg angles, lost my balance, and broke that side off. that left me with just one growth tip on the plant, on just one side of the node i am mainlining from. after freaking out for a little bit I hit up the guys in the mainlining thread on rollitup [where i am also keeping a journal] who told me not to worry, that side would just beef the hell up and become the new node to mainline from. i let her recover for a day or two [topical aloe at the break point and foliar spray] seemed to help speed that up quite a bit. I've already topped her once so we're back at two heads, and have basically just lost a week, but gained some serious beef in the stem and where that node comes off of it. i supercropped the two branches coming off the main mainline node this morning, so those joints will seriously beef up too, and hopefully won't happen again. going to wait till she's quite a bit more ready before i start the LST, probably keep it a full cycle behind the topping, so will start to LST the first yoke when i top to 4 heads.
AIGHT! — thats where we're at for this week. Overall, everything going pretty godamn well. I'm going to start adding coconut water and molasses to my waterings this week, and add protekt [for sillica] to my twice weekly aloe foliar feedings. have started to be really careful with the fastberry not to spray the buds and just the fan leafs. thanks to everybody for showing the love!!!

what up @nudger361976? shit been crazy lately past couple weeks — work, freelance work, family shit, mine and my ladies birthdays [which are two days apart], keeping the girls dry during a couple days of MUCH needed rain, and keeping the garden going during these crazy heat waves on either side of the rain. I actually was getting ready to do an update this afternoon already, so get ready for a barrage of pics!
I've also got an instagram goin' over the past couple weeks, check the link in my signature — that gets a update at least every day or two.
Hope everything is well with you, and all the rest of my AFin' homies.

WEEK 8 UPDATE
PART I — OVERVIEW
Shits been poppin in the garden the past couple weeks, the first set of autos are deep into flower and getting closer and closer to harvest time. The Fastberry is getting NUTS and making my mouth water. I cannot WAIT to smoke that shit. It rained/stormed pretty hard for a couple days, and I couldn't handle the idea of letting her get wet so I built a temporary greenhouse in the driveway out of my defunct shade shelter. Turned out super good, and kept all three of my autos pretty damn dry.
I inherited a clone from one of my homies who works at a medical grow operation about a week ago. They got rid of all their 10 week'ers, and I was lucky enough to end up with a double diesel clone. She's been staying with the Sour Bubbly down the street for the time being, until I harvest one of my autos. She's lookin' pretty good, beefing up bit by bit. She won't have as much time to veg as ideally I'd like — I might have him start bringing her in after the sun clears in the evening to put under a CFL so she won't start flowering till I'm ready for her to. BUT she's a 10 week'er so that puts her flowering until deeper into the fall than I'd feel great about. Driveway greenhouse? Let her finish in the grow tent my fucking badass ladyfriend got me for my birthday? Haven't decided yet —we'll have to see how it goes!
The plan for R2 of Autos is now a Fast Buds Six-Shooter [Crystal Meth x Mexican Airlines] and a Mephisto SODK x Ripley OG. I've been collecting beans bit by bit over the past few weeks and will continue to for a little bit till I get a good stock on hand. Get ready for some of the strains I've got in the hopper, I'm pretty fuckin' excited.
Back to the new batch of soil. Last batch has been working pretty well, but I feel like there is room for some improvement. First off, I am trying a new base mix — EB Stone's 420 Mix. It was comparable price to the black gold organic [about 5 bucks cheaper a bag than Roots] and from the ingredients list sounds a lot better than Roots. It's loaded with microbes, which is perfect for the kind of gardening I do. Found it at Portland Nursery, which BTW, has all the amendments I use for my soil — DTE brand much cheaper than grow shops. They also have a bunch of stuff [bone, blood, feather, kelp meals, greensand, gypsum] in bulk bins which is even cheaper.
In addition to the new base soil, I watered the mix with molasses & Myco-Fusion Bio-Jolt 1.5 to kickstart colonization. I have heard nothing but good things about the whole Myco-Fusion line from Santiam Organics, and picked up the Green 150 and the Bio-Jolt to use for this next round, and will be picking up the Rhizo charge as well before anything gets transplanted. It totally blows my mind the difference in whats in the Green 150 compared to the Xtreme mycos I used in my first batch. It also looks and smells a lot funkier than the Xtreme, which was all white and smelled benign. I've used the Bio-Jolt twice so far on my existing plants, and its totally kicked shit into overdrive. The swiss cheese literally doubled growth speed overnight. I can't wait to see how it does with this new mix.
Random Weird Thing: One leaf on the SC is in full two-face mode. I am assuming this is a mutation, not a nutrient deficiency, but let me know if anybody think's otherwise.
Detailed Plant updates coming in parts II, III, & IV.

WEEK 8 UPDATE
PART II — THE PURPS
P U R P L E R Y D E R
She is at almost 7 weeks, 46 days today. Continuing the purple from the inside out treatment, starting to grow real buds and frostin' up real well. Definitely not going to be done by 8 weeks, i'm guessing 10. Starting to smell rad, although hard to describe. My guess on yield right now is prob 30g, maybe a little less.
F A S T B E R R Y
Just over 8 weeks, at 58 days. She's got lots of good sized stem buds, 4 branches covered in buds, and a big ol' fat cola sittin' on the top of it all. And every bud on the plant is just shimmering with trichromes. I cannot WAIT to smoke this shit. The smell is out of this world, like a blueberry patch outside a opium den — this rich hazy incense thats ripe with berry fruityness. Am going to let her go at least another week, maybe two. I've pretty stumped on what the yield is gonna be for this gal — at least 60g is my guess — hoping for 90g, but we'll see. There is a lot of beefy buds.
