FastBuds AMNESIA ZKITTLEZ

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2205 ~ 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 Mars Hydro 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: 1/26- Well here we go into the fifth week of flower and oh my these testers are on fire! They're both stacking their flowers and they are just about equal in appearance and development, although the #2 tester does have a major advantage in overall size.... a freaking BEAST! I skipped watering today but will be watering in the morning with the usual 0.75g of de-chlorinated water that is ph'd to 6.5-6.6 @ 72℉. I'm turning their pots 1/4 turn daily just before the UVA kicks on (they're getting 4 hours of UVA daily in the middle of the light cycle) and continuing to tuck and/or remove shade leaves to keep the light penetration at it's highest. I've got the HLG 650R's at 85% now and hung at 32" above the canopy. The tent temp's are at 73℉ with the lights on and drop to 68deg with the lights off. The AutoPilot APC8200 co2 Controller is set at 1200ppm's now and the tent is maintaining an average co2 level of 1100ppm's currently. Humidity levels are constant at 38-44% giving VPD's in the 1.40-1.60 range.😎👍 We're about halfway to the finish line and the coming weeks should be getting very interesting indeed! 1/28- I watered both yesterday with 0.75g each of de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.5-6.6 @ 72℉, after which I gave their pots a turn and tucked in a few shade leaves on them that were blocking light from flowers. Both of these girls are doing exceptionally well and have maintained great health and vigor throughout this entire run! The #2 phenotype is the larger of these two for sure, with a wide spread out structure, while the #1 is not quite as tall and has a tighter structure. Both phenotypes are stacking their flowers and I've also noticed that their trichome production has increased. 1/30- All I did today was water each with 0.5g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉ and turned their pots. Both are looking exceptional! 2/1- Well there goes another week and our journey is quickly coming to a close with both ladies now 59 days from breaking ground. I'm checking their trichomes daily and anticipate that in the next few days they'll be going in the dark for 48 hours before being harvested and hung to begin the drying/curing process! I watered both with 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉, turned pots and told them how beautiful they were! Onward to the Ninth week for these two testers from FastBuds! So far, this has been a super fun grow with these two testers that were super easy to cultivate and the end result (as always from FastBuds) is some epic cultivars that check off all the boxes! Stay tuned as these two finish up, it should be interesting to see their yields and flowers! 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙
