Day 70 for these Fastbuds beauties
Blackberry Auto:
With dark purple buds glowing fiercely and a dank smell to match, this girl could make anyone's tent look amazing. During the last few weeks her buds have become incredibly dense and sticky. She is very short and thick in stature compared to the other plants I have in flower. I inspected her trichomes over the weekend and ive determined that she is pretty much ready for harvesr. I expect about 2 oz of high quality flower after dry/cure.
Forbidden Runtz Auto
I'm really blown away with the turnaround in this girl. She was mutated & so small I almost tossed her out during early veg; I'm glad I changed my mind.
She stretched significantly between weeks 4-6 and I really wasn't expecting much from her. In reality, she has blown my mind... incredibly dense and sticky buds have developed in the past 4 weeks.
She's got the zkittles smell mixed with a gassy terp profile.. I think the higher humidity through flowering phase really helped develop these dense buds.
When I checked her trichomes over the weekend I determined that she will be cut down within the next 7-10 days.
Process/ Environment changes:
- Lowered my SF4000 roughly 20 cm to increase photon delivery to the canopy
- Water/kelp meal only from this point to harvest
- My temperature has risen due to change of seasons .. roughly at 27-28 deg C during daytime.. this is why I lowered my lights rather than turning them up
- Defoliating any unnecessary fan leaves at every chance I get
- I've had to use spools of twist tie to use to keep the branches from falling over from their own weight. I'll tie one end to the top of a branch, and the other to the stock. Not ideal but its working.
Cheese auto dry/ cure update:
After 10 full days of drying, I gave the buds a decent trim and put them inside glass jars where they will remain for many weeks. I add 2 way Boveda humidity packs to help regulate the relative humidity within the containers. I also use tiny hydrometer pucks to measure the humidity and temperature inside the jars. My ideal cure is at 62% RH
it looks like you use the standard china usb microscope with your (win) computer. If you have one or know someone with a 3d printer, print this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2525155 ๐ with a stable stand the trichone shots will be much better! ๐
really beautiful purpled bud! ๐
@KAPT_SAVE_Da_HOE, awesome you'll have a great time and good luck.
If I were to give any advise it would be.... follow a VPD chart and make sure your temps and humidity are in check.. everything else will be easy if you can manage that.
Nice looking buds coming on and diaryโs you are running. Iโve got a triploid gorilla skittlez going at the moment that is getting huge . Good luck with the rest of your grow , hopefully you bounce back from the covids
@Wrongholn519, same here , Iโve never had a triploid before and I was concerned it was going to be a pain but she just wants to be a big girl . Thanks man
@Rangaku, thanks much appreciated. It's my first triploid, kinda cool to watch grow.. wish she was a bit bigger though. I just checked out yours.. looks hefty and healthy๐
@SeedsNStems, I hope it grows well. I've never had a 'tri' seedling like this and I'm concerned it's not growing fast enough ๐ฎโ๐จ๐. It's a great looking plant I recommend it to anyone that wants colour in their garden
Really nice photos, thank you for sharing this diary :)
We hope that growing our genetics was a nice experience for you and that you enjoy the harvest!
