8/17: -2 seeds placed into a paper towel doused with some water and 3% hydrogen peroxide. 8/20: -Seeds placed into pots. Both had successful taproots. One 3 gal. pot and one 2 gal. pot. 8/22: -Been watering daily at ~6.5pH. 8/26: -Have been watering daily. -Both seedlings have breeched the soil. Both are still 'wearing' their seeds. One is erect while the other is arched over. 8/28: -The plant that was leaning over is not going to make it, seemingly started dampening off the moment it breached the soil. -The other plant is still fully erect, however the seed is still fully intact on the cotyledon. 8/29: -Seed coat finally came off. Will start veg. Week 1 once the true leaves show. 9/2: -Watered at ~6.3pH.

Week 12. Harvest
2 years ago
Happy Harvest Day!
Rated
7/10

Definitely wasn't the tallest of the bunch, but it did prove to produce nice and fat buds despite the extreme lack in height. Not sure if I'll try this strain again, since it has proven to be rather lack-luster with all the grows thus far, though I would like to try different FastBuds strains in the future!

The grow started to experience a deficiency around the end of the grow, however that was more than likely the plant telling me it was close to harvest. The grow itself was great, no obvious issues were faced and the plant grew rather well, simply lacked in height.
