Hi guys!
Welcome to the first season in '22, 4th in total. After an unexpected early finale of the last plant of the third season, I'm now finally back, I still can't fully operate but at least I've started a new Season!
Todays menu: A damn fine and mysterious selection from released and yet to be released Fast Buds strains that I can't wait to grow! I took the liberty to name all four of the unreleased strains by myself, theme: Astronomy (kind of). I will run a total of 5 Fast Buds strains, Orange Sherbet being the only known so far from this fine breeder. The other ones are FBT 2205, FBT 2206, FBT 2207 and FBT 2208 which will be officially released soon. Girl Scout Cookies Auto from Garden of Green, Green Gelato Auto from RQS and Mimosa Lemon Auto from Expert Seeds. I believe that it's a damn fine selection to start 2022 in a great way :)
I'll be using my double hydro setup (70L+ 70L) + 2 RQS 15L or 18L fabric pots for this season. Mimosa Lemon Auto and GSC Auto will be planted in pots, the other 6 will go into hydro.
It's also the first full season that I'll be using the new Professional line 3x ViparSpectra P2000 lights since we partnered up and they provided me with one of the best lights for my 4x4 tent :) Also a big thank you to Fast Buds for letting me participate in their Tester program and also Garten of green and Expert Seeds who enabled me to participate in their contests.
EDIT: It's the third Mimosa Lemon because the other two just didn't germinate, damn it! I cross my fingers for this one.
I really do have high hopes for this season :)
See you soon!
XOXO

Hi guys,
okaaaaay, this is yet another attempt to make this strain work. It's the third one by the way. Cross my fingers for this one. It's Mimosa so it has a special place in my heart...
I cranked up the power of the first Vipar Spectra P2000 to a maximum because I needed to raise the height of the light a little bit. I've checked everything with a light meter and it seems that I have it dialed in ;)

Hi guys,
here's a quick update on the Mimosa Lemon from Expert Seeds. And it looks like it wouldn't survive another two weeks. I'm not a fan of growing in soil and therefore I don't know much about it and the plant represents exactly my skills. I mean it's the second week of veg but I'm used to rapid hydro growth but anyway, hopefully it will turn out to be a great plant but for now it looks like it would survive the next few weeks.
It feels so good to be back in my tent again with all the craziness around in the last few months. Hopefully everything is back on track and soon I'll upgrade the whole setup to another level when the time is right.
I've separated aka transplanted 3 of the plants into the second reservoir with some minor casualties (2 ripped off parts of roots) but other than that the rest went pretty well. The res with Orange Sherbet had a slight deficiency in nutrients and I had to make sure what was going on before I do something with the water, but after reading my plants for a few days I changed the water, adjusted the feeding and voila, the plants is back on track. I believe it's a small setback of a few days maybe. Soon I'll be able to add some Mycorrhizae so I should see the plants explode :D
I'm also running all 3 lights from ViparSpectra (3x P2000) right now but the setup will change a bit in the coming weeks so stay tuned. Right now I try to adjust the light intensity using special light meter apps and the knobs on the P2000 are super helpful! The plants seem to love the lights too :D
See ya!

Okaaaay. This is going to be a very quick one. Sooo, a few people said that it looks like that because of excess light exposure. I told them that the amount of DLI i perfect for this stage of veg in the tent. I than reevaluated their suggestion and came to the conclusion that they were right. I totally forgot that the Mimosa Lemon is the third seed that I've tried to germinate and overall it popped a lot later than all the other plants in this season. That's why they were right about the amount of light for this plant.
So @Expertautoflower @Chris42081 and @SabrinasGrow , you were all right, but that also means that I can't lower the light intensity because I would sacrifice all the other plants that are far more ahead of this one. I'll keep it in the tent. It doesn't hurt any plant at this stage and i probably won't.
Next time I'll probably try it out in a hydro setup because Mimosa has a special place in my heart :D

Hi guys,
all the plants exploded after the res water change with fresh nutrients. You can observe the size difference every single day!
I've also started training them meaning tuckin' them down. I've also added a Co2 pad which needs to be sprayed with water every day.
The root system is looking perfectly! White-yellowish, crispy, vigorous, having a good time in the solution roots. #yummy
I have no idea what the fucks going on with the third Mimosa Lemon! I mean. No side branches, one single main stem. Heee? :)
Other than that, what a great week.
Have a good one

Hi guys.
Here's a quick update on the 4th season and the Orange Sherbet.
All in all this grow is a blast. I thought that since I'm running unreleased strains, I might fall into some problems but other than the Mimosa Lemon which is a rather a joke than a cannabis plant it's all good :D
The plants are fresh after 140L water change with fresh nutrients. They dig it a lot. I took these shot at night, that's why some plants might look sleepy (no, I don't mind turning the lights on for a few minutes at night to take a few shots).
the Orange Sherbet will be the first to harvest. It already smells great because it's the first plant that developed trichomes. Next week, the plants should start smelling a lot better altogether. Right now, the only misinterpretation that I made was the Hadouken that's still in veg, don't know why since it's also a FastBuds strain but hopefully it'll switch soon enough because when it does, it'll be the biggest plant with the extended veg period.
There is also one plant in the bunch that's an outlier! It's an unreleased strain from FastBuds and it's by far the strongest genetics I've seen so far. Very vigorous and it takes everything I give it and it looks ultra happy and healthy.
I'm also super pumped for the following 4 weeks because I'm about to start shooting close ups next week when all the plants develop enough trichomes :D CAN'T WAIT!
Other than that, it seems like the best season so far with some bomb ass genetics.
Stay tuned because shit's about to go down next week!
XOXO

ONE WEEK...
What of a difference can one single week make? Holy fricking crap!!!
That's what I call a proper flowering stretch! The ladies drank 40 litres of water with nutrients. They underwent a manicure and they looked like it didn't even matter. I try to go really easy with the defoliation this season because I want to see the potential difference in growth. I've put a scrog net over all plants.
Other than that, the flowering and resin production is in full motion! That means the start of the macro shots for this season. I'm super pumped because I've waited for this moment whole 2 months!!!
So please, sit back, relax and take a close look at the seed production on the Mimosa Lemon just before it's about to get removed from this season! I had to remove the nanas first because they were about to burst in a few...
One last thing, Mimosa Lemon had to go! She transformed into a Hermaphrodite. Good, because I was sick of it!
XOXO

Can't say much about this strain other than it was a pain to grow from the get go. I love the cross of mimosa and lemon haze tho. This should normally be a super great strain but I didn't manage to finish it because it had a lot of issues and I had to scratch it.

@Expertautoflower, thanks for your answer. The DLI is pretty much overall around 30 for this stage of veg it's even a bit too less, but at the exact location of the plants in soil (on the side of the tent) it's even a tad bit less so I'd say it's probably not too much light after all :)
[EDIT]: check out my new updat, I clarify myself. You were right ;).
@SabrinasGrow, the DLI on all the plants in hydro is on point for this stage, It's only too much for the later plants in soil. When I'm done with my whole setup (because it's just the first part of a perpetual grow installation) I'll move one P2000 light to the other tent and I'll have about 400W in this 4x4 tent and 200W for the smaller veg tent. I'll get it done in the following weeks :)
WK 3 and that is still taking up space in the tent?. Soil.. not hydro. To much light. To much heat. Imo. Got a recent harvest of this exact strain same breeder in diary.
@Chris42081, Thanks for your input. This plants germinated a week of two later than all the other ones. You are right, it has too much light exposure but I can't sacrifice all the other plants in hydro just for this one :D. It would not be smart ;)
