I didn't really plan for this grow, but I have some space right now and the mystery of a Fastbuds unnamed tester was too much to pass up, so here we GO!
>> SEEDS <<
FastBuds - ORT2112
Being a tester, I'm as in the dark as you about this strain. It's going to be a wait and see job for everything. Given that it's a tester for the Originals line, we may be able to guess later on at its lineage maybe, we shall see!
>> EQUIPMENT <<
I keep things pretty Lo-Fi:
3 Gallon Felt pots
Bio-Bizz Light Mix
Bio-Bizz Grow
Bio-Bizz Bloom
Bio-Bizz Alg-A-Mic
Vitalink CalMag
Fecida CR600 125w LED
I grow in the Space Cupboard, a broom cupboard in my kitchen with the walls wrapped in survival blankets. It's small, but it's stealthy and convenient. I dialled in my light distance using a PAR meter on my phone and a IR thermometer to check Leaf Surface Temperature. I tend to let that stick around the 25C/77F mark once they hit flower.
>> GERMINATION TIMELINE <<
16/03 - Began germination by placing a seed between two cotton pads soaked in a little water, then placed between two plates and put on the floor of my grow space to keep them warm. Began to acclimatise the soil that I'll pot her into.
17/03 - It took about 36 hours, but the seed finally cracked this evening, so I took her out of the cotton and put her in the soil tonight. Misted the soil a little and popped a humidty dome overtop just to stop it constantly drying out.
19/03 - She took a while, but we finally have sprout! Probably my longest germination to sprout period I've seen from an auto, but we're above ground now, so let's see how we go!
