Nothing special this week! Just watering with small amounts of water every other day! Mars hydro sp3000 putting in work. I'm hoping to find out the names of the blind testers from Fast Buds soon!

Fast Buds blind tester 2211 is doing great. This is the second time growing this tester. It is my favorite for terps out of the 4 testers I have grown. I'm enjoying my spider farmer replacement in my 2x4 tent. The SP 3000 is doing great! I love how it extends to both ends of the tent so I can fill up my tent to the brim. This cultivar is still living off the amendments I mixed into the coco before germination. This week I will proforma LST and possibly a first top dress.

Coming into week 3 and this Fast Buds blind tester is already showing signs of flowers. I am tempted to let her grow naturally with out LST since her side branches are already competing with the main cola and she flowered before I even got to the LST usually in week 3! I do love the natural look to them even though LST helps w bit with yeilds, not sure if that is still the case with such small fast flowering cultivars such as this one. I top dressed .5 tsp foundation and .125 tsp of bloom. I'm being very careful with the bloom as my last small autos were sensitive to it resulting in yellowing leaves with rust spots. Indicating the bloom was too much for the small autos. So here I might not go over 1/4 tsp of bloom all the way until she gets compost tea in weeks 5 - 7 (Note to self) The Mars Hydro SP3000's performance is outstanding. I still have her @ 70% dimmed and she's killing it. I will up the wattage in the 3rd week of flower. If your reading this thanks for taking the time to examine my 100% Organic growing techniques and diary! Also thank you Fast Buds for supplying the world with high quality autoflowers ✌️🏻😎💨

2nd week of flower in the books. I continue to pull down the main cola and remove leaves that are blocking prime bud sites. I also cleaned up her skirt this week. She is extremely healthy and has been receiving only dechlorinated water pH 6.4 - 6.7 for the last 2 weeks. Last top dress was 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Mars Hydro SP3000 is totally kicking ass. This is my first grow with the SP3000 and I am enjoying the performance already and excited to see how the new tweek in spectrum will support more dense buds for me. The SP3000 appearance is bad ass. The heat sinks really do the trick, as there is little heat produced by such a powerful light. I have her dimmed at 75% at the moment. As soon as some of the girls mature in the tent I will up the wattage.

3rd week into flower and we are starting to see some frost come in already. Last top dress was on April 14th ( 6 days ago). We did a 1/4 tsp foundation. Been watering every 3rd day since then. I continued LST this week and did minor defoliation. She is looking very healthy and on track. By the way the trichomes are showing up on fan leaves already tells me this will be a Frosty pheno. 💡Mars Hydro SP3000 is chilling, A thick finned aluminum heat sink dissipates thermal waste quickly making you free from worry of heating crops. Keeping my tent a steady average of 73°f

🌱This Fast Buds blind tester is doing great. No signs of stress or deficiency. The frost keeps packing on from early flower. This week I have slightly defoliated to removed fan leaves blocking bud sites. I also brewed up a terp tea bloom for her and diluted it with dechlorinated water 50/50. She looks on track to produce some super frosty nugs. 💡The Mars Hydro SP 3000 is performing very well. Abundant red light interacting with 660nm dark red light in spectra contributes to flower forming and dense buds creating. SP3000 has the highest ratio of red light among Mars Hydro LED grow lights! See you back next week ✌️🏻😎💨

🌱Blind tester 2211 is absolutely covered in resin! She's had a good week. Top dressed with 1/2 worm castings and fed a terp tea at the beginning of the week. Terp tea was diluted half water. The solution came out at 6.5 PH. The smell of this cultivar is very sweet and flowery at the moment. 💡 Mars Hydro sp3000 -Power draw: 300W±5% -Input voltage: AC100-277V -LED brand: Samsung LM301B; OSRAM 660nm -Spectrum: 380–410nm, 650–660nm, 730–740nm, 2800–3200K, and 4800–5000K -Flower coverage: 2 × 5’ (69 × 150cm) -PPE: 2.74–2.82 Umol/j -Certificates: ETL, CE, DLC -Gross weight: 6.31kg/13.19lbs -HID replacement: 450W HPS/MH -Diode quantity: 952PCS -LED driver: 1PCS Meanwell driver -Veg coverage: 4 × 5’ (120 × 150cm) -Lifespan: 50000H -Waterproof rating: IP65 -Net weight: 4.62kg/10.2lbs

This past week was good for this cultivar. She liked the worm casting top dress with terp tea a week ago. As she comes closer to harvest were giving her just PH water for the last 2 weeks. The frost developed insanely! Big resin glans, in abundance, with a sweet fruity smell reminds me of strawberrys. I'll have to admit this is the frostiest auto flower I have grown. 💡 Mars hydro SP3000 is doing an amazing job. The rich red light and the 660nm dark red light in the SP6500 spectrum accelerate the transition from the growth stage to the flowering stage of plants, contributing to flowering and bud formation and helping the plants not stretch as much through the first few weeks of flower.

After 8 weeks from seed her tricomes are looking very milky with some spots of amber here and there. This cultivar makes it easy to read the trichomes as they are big, plump and abundant. Per usual she dried for about 10 days and is now manicured and placed in jars to start the curing process. Hope you guys enjoy my dairies! Happy cultivating my friends 🌱🌱🌱😁💨
