It's back on a 24/0 light cycle because the days have been cold and the light keeps the plant at about 22C during the middle of the day.
The light has been at 17 inches above the top leaves this week. Today I'm going to lower it to about 14-15 inches, in accordance to the manual that came with the spider farmer light I'm using.
I got my hands on a cloth pot, so the poor plant was re-potted again a few days ago .. but it looks extremely healthy to me. It's like a wild shrub.
This is my first grow, and I'm probably not doing LST properly. I'm just trying to get as much light into the tiny leaves that are growing in the undergrowth. But she's a short, stubby plant at this stage with a remarkably thick trunk. There's an explosion of tiny branches going on beneath the foliage that the photos don't really show.
I've scoured through grow diaries of other Fastbuds Green Cracks and my plant looks typical of the genetics. Though she seems to have larger fan leaves at the bottom than most.
Most other grows of Fastbuds Green Crack are also similarly messy shrubs at this stage too, so I'm not too concerned about it. Overall it feels like it's going well.
@MANIIAKSINDUBS,
thanks man. she's going well, considered the massive cold spell we had, and now the humidity of 80% that im fighting with fans until my dehumidifier arrives. Crossing fingers nothing goes wrong in her last days.
@@agora, thanks, yeah i'll post pics tomorrow but it's turning into a 'wild-looking shrub'! im sort of excited about it because it's winter here and the temp is rarely above 22C but its somehow thriving.
@TinyTenter, thanks man! this is my first grow, but next time im going to buy those General Hydroponics nutes that you used. They're expensive here, so i went with House and Garden, but I just see amazing grows done with 'em, and growweedeasy recommends them, too, and i figure, might as well.
BTW i liked your grow diary for green crack a lot, though i only found it like two days ago. you did an outstanding job, there. Here, I've been battling really cold temperatures (down to 9 degrees Celsius over night in the tent) and strange swings of humidity (and, frankly, you can't buy a dehumidifier anywhere, ever since the floods last year). But despite all the challenges of this grow, this strain, Fastbuds Green Crack just keeps rocking. She's not at all a huge plant, but I'm a lightweight who doesn't need much. But though I'm not an expert, the genetics seem awesome. She just thrives. I have defoliated her quite a lot in the past, and four days later you wont even know.
My next grow is either Fastbuds Purple Lemonade, or Barney's Farm Wedding Cake (Photo). It's a hell of a lot of fun, isn't it? Good luck with your grows man. Cheers.
