Ladies and gentlemen welcome in my first FastBuds garden.
This time we are running 3 fast flowering mystery strains: FFT11, FFT10 and FFT1
Stay tuned with all the wonders!
Welcome in official week 1 of Veg!
At this stage all of them look happy apart from FFT1 where we can se small issues.
Still overall looking positive 👌
First part of nutrients started this week with EC around 0.5 and pH 5.8-6.0
Stay tuned 🙏😎
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome back in official Week2 of Veg!
This week we can see massive acceleration in growth so all girls got ready for topping.
With FFT11 decided to go with FIM’ing technique, FFT10 Topping and FFT1 mix of both - two topped and one FIM’ed. I’m really curious to see the difference.
After adding Cal-Mag into feeding program they all look very happy.
My lights are maxed in hight and that’s a shame as I can see that some of the girls starting it curl up the leafs. Hopefully it will not affect them much more.
Looking at how it goes I think that next week we will instal SCROG net and start training - its 9 girls so we need to work on that space.
Stay tuned with weekly updates 👌
Ladies and gentlemen welcome in week 3 of Veg!
This week all girls almost doubled in size. Spotted small signs of over feeding so last three days of week watered only with plain water.
In next few day I will be flipping them all so its a good moment for a good defoliation. Let’s se how thy will handle.
I’m still waiting with scrog net as they are not big enough so It will probably happen next week..
EC this week 1.4
pH 5.6-5.9
Stay tuned!
Welcome in official Week4 of Veg!
Last week finished with massive defoliation and this week with putting in place our favourite SCROG net.
Girls loving it and filled full canopy just in 4 days. I don’t have much space left so that was the last week in this stage and we are flipping them to flower.
As one of FFT11 looked a bit burned EC this week went down to 1.1
Water pH’d to 5.7 -5.9
Stay tuned as magic will start from next week 👌
ladies and gentlemen welcome in Week 1 of Flower
or Week5 (6 from seed) 😁
Omg how they are growing. We are in full stretch mode. 7 inches in 7 days
Till now no signs of any issues and all three strains reacting very well. To be honest at this stage they all look like same one strain so I’ looking forward to see how they develop.
Feeding wise as usual starting with Connoisseur, Bud Candy, Nirvana and CalMag Xtra
EC from start of the week around 1.4
Day 7 as I’m writing this post accidentally EC1.8 - I hope it will not burn them so next two days only water
pH 5.7-5.9
Stay tuned with next weeks updates and stay safe!
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome in Official Week 2 of Flower!
What a Week it was…. First of all size - 10 inches in 7 days. Next thing bud sites- there is a lot of them.
On day 5 decided to run second massive defoliation, getting out everything beneath the net. No point to waste the energy on small buds.
Next week I’m planning to flush them and run two-three days dry to get as much oxygen as I can to root zone.
EC this week around 1.4 with 1.0 every second day
pH 5.5-5.8
Stay tuned!
Welcome in official Week 3 of Flower
It’s day 21 so it looks like they will stop stretching. At this stage 43 inches without the pot.
No deficiencies on any of the plant same as no signs of over feeding.
EC this week between 1.4 - 1.6
pH 5.5 - 5.9
This week was the first one with full feed every 24h
FFT11 - looks like same 3 phenos
FFT10 - 3 plants and 3 phenos
FFT1- 2 different phenos
Hopefully temperatures will go down in next few days revealing bit more aromas.
Next week starting with Overdrive in the mix.
Stay tuned!
Ladies and gentlemen welcome in official Week 4 of Flower 🌸
Very hot week so temperatures around 28C hitting 30C for couple hours every know and again.
Massive flower development and they already started to ripen - absolutely wow 🤩
EC this week around 1.7 with last two day of the week with plain water.
pH this week 5.6 - 5.9
We can see that all of them got slightly burned so will keep them on water for next few days.
We will probably need to set second scrog as they are getting really heavy.
Stay tuned with next week’s updates 🙏
Ladies and gentlemen welcome in official Week 5 of flower!
It was absolutely traumatic week. Hit by heatwave with temperatures in my growing area around 32C every day - tent managed to keep around 30C however night temperature was almost exactly on same level.
All this caused few issues -in my opinion nutrient lock was the main issue so plants spent last two days in flush mode. I will keep using only water for next few days and see how they react.
Buds are growing however not swelling as much as they should - again due to extreme conditions.
Temperatures outside wet down to 21C so I hope they will recover fast.
If everything will go as planned we are around 21 days before the end of this cycle.
Stay tuned!
Ladies and gentlemen welcome in official Week 6 of Flower!
After last full week of constant heat, temperatures finally went down and plants are recovering.
FFT11 - massive colas and still getting fatter every single day.
FFT10 - most unstable strain from all 3. For all 3 seeds 3 completely different plants - the biggest one is very unhappy from some strange reason
FFT1 - very fast lady. She is almost ready with flowering time mark around 50 days - I will keep her 6 days longer
From now they will get only plain water till end of the cycle - harvest window opening in next 13 days
Stay tuned
Ladies and gentlemen welcome in official Week 7 of flower.
All so the girls have enough. All stressed and battered waiting for end of the cycle.
All of them as per info from FastBuds should be ready now - they are way behind to be ready. Two from FFT1 are almost there.
I will give them another week and see how they look. From this week no more nutrients and we are rocking only plain water pH’d to 5.6 - 5.9
Fingers crossed for the grand finale.
Stay tuned!
Ladies and gentlemen welcome in Week 8 of flower!
That was the final week for those plants. It was a hell of a journey to be honest. The most tricky cultivar I’ve ever done. Partly through the fact that I decided to run three different strains however the main issue was FFT10.
So FFT10 - This test strain is in my opinion totally unstable at this stage. From 3 seeds I had 3 completely different plants and its not about phenotype. On start of the week I noticed that something is definitely wrong with one of them - cut down main cola to be sure and YES - cobwebs of mold inside the flower. Early stage but in very worst moment. Three main colas went down as all of them affected. Rest of the plant - or should I say - one remaining cola looks good for now.
I will know more after cutting them all down tomorrow. At this stage I cant wait any longer as I have no idea how rest of the plants.
Both FFT11 and FFT1 no massive issues. With FFT1 being the fastest stain I ever had pleasure to grow.
All of them are apparently “Fast Flowering” - they are not (apart from mentioned FFT1) - 9 weeks of flower that’s what I’m saying so don’t get fooled.
Next entry will be the last one and with all the stats so stay tuned!
FFT1 Should start finishing after 49 days - It took full 8 weeks and still could be there for another week or two.
Even in very rough conditions in last weeks of flower due to weather conditions and extreme heat I didn’t had any massive issues.
No side branching so you can rely only on main stems.
It’s very hard to give you guys a good review due to extreme condition in last weeks of flower what affected whole harvest. After full 8 weeks of flower it’s still very delicate smoke. Relaxing and good for munchies. As a tester quite stable and resistant. Probably best form all 3 in this run.
Most unstable from all 3 strains. Every plant was different, one of them was all the time unhappy. On last weeks one of the plants started to rot from inside - managed to spot that quite early however still needed to remove 3 main colas what affected harvest quite badly.
From all 3 one with biggest potential. I’n my opinion it’s probably Critical based strain. Looks, smells and tastes like one. Stable and resistant. No major issues
Nice hard nuggets and as mentioned before it’s literally like Critical. Looks like one, taste like one and smell like one. Full 8 weeks in flower but still could go for another week or two. Quite delicate effect
@DesDeGrower, yeah I understand about more cycles but I find it much easier to have a small 2ft square or 0.75m square tent to veg ph toro period varieties on a 125-150w light and then put them in the bigger tent/space to veg for a week or so then flower.
Only thing which is a same is there is a good pheno we can’t take a cutting lol.
Hopefully you get some nice smoke from those freebies, fast buds are probably one of the best companies for autos.
I remember that diary I think it was runtz muffin, that was a great grow pal👊
@Esoteric_growing, got them after winning January’s “diary of the month” contest on here. It’s a funny story really as I’m not sure if they are autos or fast flowering photos haha 🤣 I’m assuming they are Autos if they are from FastBuds however as a test strains they potentially could be photos. So far so good so hopefully I will get confirmation shortly to know how to treat them. I’ve heard a lot of good things about auto strains now. If they are really so good and taking only about 10-12 weeks from seed I could squeeze more cycles during the year.
@Fast_Buds, thank you guys. Just a quick question as I’m getting really confused. Are they autos or photos? 😉😎 when you sent them over I’ve just got 50-55 days 😉 Thank you in advance 👌
Good luck with your grow bro 🙏🤜🤛have fun. Mars hydro is 💣. Look in your mars hydro instructions and see if it says anything about using Xtra calmag? Something about quantum board LED and calmag deficiency 🤜🤛
