This one smells pretty damn good and although it was the smallest of the three plants it still pushed out just under 100g of pretty frosty buds. The tops of the colas are pretty dense and this plant was very full despite its small size.
96.61g dried and cured
FBT 2208
Grow conditions:
Light Cycle was 20L:4D, but this was broken into 4 cycles of 5L:1D
Soil was Fox Farm Ocean and HP Pro Mix in a 7 gallon pot
Nutrients were General Hydroponics Flora Series with Cal Mag, Floralicious Plus and Kool Bloom. I also used RAW Bloom microbes, kelp, and cane molasses.
Light source was P1500 set at 50-75% power and hung at 15-30 inches with spill over from Viparspectra VA1000, P1500 and Mars Hydro TS1000
Goal:
The aim of this grow was to push myself and these plants to grow in a very challenging environment and show how the versatility of autoflowering cannabis combined with strong genetics can ensure a successful grow when limited to a less than ideal grow spaces. Newer growers, such as myself, may not have the luxury of growing in our houses due to family constraints and space limitations. By proving how versatile FastBuds plants are we can attract a new growers and show them that an amazing product can be grown in challenging and less than ideal grow conditions.
Grow Room:
I built a 4x8ft grow room in a completely uninsulated shed and wanted to determine if the heat generated from the grow lights combined with adjusting the cycling and location of the exhaust fan would be sufficient to keep temperatures and humidity within an acceptable range. I live in a fairly northern climate with winter temperatures between -5 and -15 Celsius during the majority of this grow. I also wanted to test how auto flowers would respond to a 5 hour light and 1 hour dark cycle, which was critical for maintaining acceptable temperature levels. Balancing temperature and humidity during the dark cycle was the greatest challenge during this grow. A dark period of 2 or 4 hours would result in temperature spikes below 15 Celsius if exhaust was left running or a spike in RH above 60% if the exhaust was left off during the dark period. For the most part, the plants stayed within 20-25 Celsius and 55-65% RH during the veg stage and 20-30 Celsius and 40-60% RH during the flowering stage. I had two different days where temperatures spiked to below 15 Celsius and this was during a period where I was trying to manage RH by adjusting the intake location and on:off cycle for the exhaust.
Heyy,
Thanks so much for running this diary :) you got some really beautiful buds there!
We really hope that you liked growing our genetics
Have fun with the harvest
