FastBuds Gorilla Zkittlez

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2206 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 2/9- Wow! Week TEN...Seventy days from seed and these ladies are absolutely amazing looking! The 2 phenotypes remain equal in flower development. Both ladies flowers are densely stacked and have a beautiful lime green hue contrasted by numerous bright orange pistils. The #2 is still the beast with her wide spread branching, numerous bud sites and she's expressing some beautiful purple/blue coloration in her flowers! The #1 has a slightly more compact structure but she's LOADED with gorgeous flowers that smell absolutely AMAZING! Daily watering/flushing with 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water which is ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉ continues as these girls stay thirsty! 2/11- I watered today, removed some shade leaves from the canopy and turned their pots. 2/13- Both were watered today with 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉. I also removed some shade leaves that had begun to yellow and checked trichomes on both... getting CLOSE! 😍 2/15- The #1 pheno is just about ready to get finished up and she'll be 'going dark' tomorrow, I'll be putting the #2 in the dark tonight as she's ready! They'll stay in complete darkness for 72hrs @ 62-65℉ to finish them off and really boost their trichome production before they're harvested. I watered the #2 today to make sure she stays hydrated while in 'dark jail', and held off on the #1 until tomorrow when she goes dark. I'll also monitor them while they're in the dark to make sure that the medium does not dry out completely to ensure that all their metabolic processes continue uninterrupted. Next week will be the finale and what a journey it's been growing these incredible cultivars from FastBuds... See you there! ❤️ 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you've been enjoying this journey as much as I have! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙
