Hi all , here we are for another fun run with a some of Fast Buds most delicious looking ladies to harvest. With each strain having it's own amazing appearance and buds , i am hoping to spoil them like a rich kid at the seaside with this new FC3000 provided by the generous sponsors at Mars Hydro. Thanks Susie. It is a 300w draw with a full spectrum of gloriousblumens to develop and create some hard , chunky and downright delectable buds. Easy to set up with a removable driver too. Very handy of the heat builds up and we need to reduce it somehow. There is more than enough extension chord(2m) to re hang the driver out of the growing area. It has a dimmer to allow it to offer seed to harvest capabilities all in one unit. No need for separate lights for each stage of the grow. The unit size is more than big enough to cover the 6 plants and the 100L x2 beds that they are going to be grown in. It is nice and light too so no worries about the hangers being stressed. It came with a hanging kit too so nothing to stop you getting it on out of the box. At 100% it really kicks some light out and has even worried the more than capable sp3000 sat next to it. A beautiful piece of kit that will no doubt be a good as it looks too. Having had a few issues with germination over the summer and totally failing seeds , I went back to plugs. They hold the perfect amount of moisture and dont fall apart when lifted either. Again they proved excellent with 100% success of these genetically brilliant seeds . Seeing them poking their heads up on 2 already only only day 3 was a pleasant surprise as i have had these in waiting a while now. No soaking the seed just straight into the cube from the packet.. Now fully germinated with no helmets for the unwary seedling either. ( can occur using cubes for.me!) We are officially in veg I think!. 7th Oct veg started...... I hope you will join me on this run to see what this light unit can do with 6 genetic wonders and 200L of well composted living soil/coco in newly set up No-till beds. I have been trying to use the living organic soil but find that in mid to late flower , I had to supplement to keep the hungry girls green and mean which i feel was due to only 60L of soil to work in effectively. With 3 plants sharing the 100L i am hoping they communicate via the root system and keep each other happy and healthy. I do intend to add some wrigglers and also some myco and a cover crop too. (Inspired by UKPersonal420 ). The ladies are domed and comfortable ar present and I am hoping to remove the domes in a day or 2 but temps here have dropped a fair bit so I will have to be mindful of the delicate girls getting too cold . Plan is to train them into the light with as many mains as I can manipulate using l.s.t , supercropping , topping or maybe a f.i.m or 2. Any comments, advice , observations or just chat for the hell of it are more than welcome . Be safe and well.

Ad for the Strawberry Pie say an 8-9 weeks seed to harvest but at 4 weeks already and the flowering period to go through , I think we will be a little longer than that in total. Never be disappointed they dont rush to finish but be assured the genetics are worth the wait.

Hey brother. Congrats on the Mars light, looks like the dogs bollox that one! Love the set up too, soil beds look great! Where did you get the beds/tubs from mate? Wish you luck with this one, I reckon this will be another amazing diary from you. Peace 😎✌️
Ganjagrandaddy
Ganjagrandaddy
@UKPersonal420,Thank you UK. The beds are in my old nft tanks. Tops took off and used them as I know they dont leak at least. Lol . They have been well used in the past for hydro but been sat a while so seemed ideal to use. Well happy about the light too. Will be a great addition and create some nice bud porn too hopefully. Lol Been busy with the clippers on the other grow too and done a defol update to show how I am too scared to do a full brutal one. Heehee be well.mate

@UKPersonal420,it isna decent size but not airtight sadly. Trying to find tents for our awkward lofts is an endeavour for sure . I have a great tent ready to use but cant build it in due to slope of roof. I bought a cheap 2mx2m years ago and fitted it without the poles and stapled it to the roof beams as it went from the floor upwards. Gave me a good , clean 2.5m.x.25 m total with the zipper panel from the front still used as an entrance . Was a cut and splice but fabric tape and mylar/big carboard boxes opened out as panels too , helped make the initial boxed out look ready for a tent tobbe stapled to it all and the roof beams. I use a anti f.l.i.r film below the roof tiles 1st , then that cheap 2 way silver bubble wrap insulation as an outer skin then the cardboard to make the boxed space. Was a really cheap way of making sure the heat is deflected from the grow space in summer and also helps keep the heat inside the tent for winter too. The cut up tent finally finished the interior with panels and was simple to keep tight as it went upward from the built in floor design of most tents. Gave a good footprint to build up from and once I hit the apex of the roof, the fabric allows you to keep it tight until you hit the peak , trim off the excess and plenty of silver tape later . A double skinned growspace for a very minimal cost that fits into our awkward UK attics. Lol with no lights in or grow equipment, it looks like good , dust free storage space on a budget too. ! Nothing to see here just dry storage in a damp attic .lol

@Godesskat,with you all the way mate. We are built with cannabanoid systems in mind too. All those receptors in our brains specifically for it. Hence the demonising and promotion of destructive behaviours in industries that keep the masses subdued. We the free know the score. Lol . be well
