FastBuds Gorilla Punch

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2201 ~ 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: 1/12- Here we go into the 3rd week of flower for this lady and she's looking amazing with some absolutely captivating flowers in the making! I'm continuing with my regime of daily watering, leaf tucking, branch bending and pot turning. I'm also closely monitoring the environmental conditions as I noticed that my co2 ppm was low and found that the regulator was bad. No worries as I always keep two backups for any mechanical/electrical equipment as they seem to fail when you need them most! I have the HLG 650R's hung 34" above canopy and set at 75% now through a Trolmaster light controller and have my A/C unit in the grow room set to 65℉ which is keeping tent temp's at 73-74℉ with the lights on. The A/C is on a timer which shuts it off with the lights keeping 'night' temp's at 68℉. The RH in the tent is a constant 44-45% and I've got plenty of air circulation on her keeping her leaf temp's at 72-74℉. 1/14- Today I continued with the daily regime of watering with 0.5g of straight de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉. Before I watered I top dressed her medium with 1/2 cup of Down To Earth Bio-Fish to give an additional boost of P & K since she's into flower. This girl is already making some killer looking flowers that are beginning to have some 'frost' appearing! 1/16- I gave her a heavy water yesterday with almost 0.75g and today she was 'praying' hard so I skipped watering today and will pick it up again tomorrow. I wish I had popped more than one of this strain as she is beginning to look like she'll be an epic cultivar! Way to go FastBuds! 💚 1/18- I watered yesterday and today when I tilted her she was light, so I watered her again but without runoff. Her flowering is off the hook with some monster buds forming and her health remains on point! There's three weeks of flower behind her now with another 5-7 weeks yet to go which should be getting more exciting as she progresses through flower! 😎💚 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! Much love 💚 and Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙
