I'll update this diary in a couple days. The living soil is still cooking but will be ready for sowing seeds soon!
I've heard mixed things about fastbuds so I took a look through diaries on here and picked two strains that seem consistently put out decent sized plants.
Trying out living soils dry amendments for this grow. Just add water!
Both plants broke soil morning of 26/04/2021
So far so good. The stardawg is quite small with very tight internodal spacing. Hopefully it will stretch a good amount over coming weeks.
LST will be started in the next two or three days 🌱
Both are responding well to LST 👌🏼
Top dressed D21 with Living soils Auto grow and Auto bloom ready for the flower stretch 🌼
The stardawg could be bigger but I'm not stressed 🤷♂️🏻
Updated with some more pics D27 📸
Living soils schedule is definitely too strong 🤬
Luckily the Zkittlez is handling it quite well but the stardawg is stunted And has some yellow leaves 👎🏼
Learned a valuable lesson for next time not to trust the amendment schedule. I will use half the amount or less 🌱
Edit:
I think I've got an excess calcium problem and it's locking out MG and FE in some or all of my plants.
This is because I treated MG deficiency with cal-mag, not realising that the extra calcium would cause problems.
I now have Epsom salts and the plants are bouncing back to varying degrees.
Lesson learned the hard way!
Zkittlez is taking it surprisingly well, probably the most resilient plant in the tent.
Im incredibly impressed with how much the Zkittlez has bounced back, it's stretched a lot 🔥
Stardawg not so much but it's getting very fat buds already! 💪🏻
I think once I've dialled in my technique a bit more I'll try running the Zkittlez again as it has a lot of potential 💯
They're fattening and frosting up 💪🏻
Sorry for lack of updates I just kind of lost my enthusiasm for these plants when they got stunted.
The quality looks great it's just such a small quantity😩
I learned an important lesson though and my next round looks a lot better!
Stardawg nearly done. Zkittlez a bit slower. Sorry for lack of updates this site has been really glitchy. Check me out on Instagram instead @gonzogrows
I'll come back and do a smoke update when it's dry.
As you can see I stunted it but that has not detracted from the flower quality.
I am impressed with the frost and density but a bit disappointed that it's nothing like stardawg.
Great diary mate. I'm just switching from hydro to living soil so good to know not to go by the manufacturers recommended schedule you've saved me from learning a valuable lesson thanks!
