FB Cindy/ XS2000/Gaia Green

Hey Growers. The cup was misted and a 350ml waterfall off the top of a solo cup to encourage the inoculation of the Gaia green and the first roots to search easily for water. May be bullshit but I find it helps to not drown a seedling. 🤷‍♂️🏻 I’m dialing in my XS2000 trying to keep them as low and stacked as possible bc she’s a tall strain and my tent is a 5ft. I’ll probably have to do my poor man’s light mover technique again but I have no problem with that and the plants loved one in and one out of direct light. Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. With the Gaia Green all I have to do is water for the first 3-4 weeks, then top dress. So I’m already on auto pilot. Love it!! When I introduced the fan one did slump over. I propped her up out of the mud on a bambo X and she found her way back free standing. Just watering with cal pow water and watching for light stress. This XS2000 is a powerful unit and I’m sure would rock a 3x3 perfectly. Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. These Cinderella Autos are cruising along nicely. They’re growing quickly and easily. No complaints here. Just watching them grow more every day. Just adding cal mag water when dry and a spray every once in a while. The XS2000 is set for 40% at 20” like Vipar Spectra suggests. They’re living it. Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers These babies are cruising along happily. They are 4-5 nodes high so I decided to micro top this week and get some bush happening. I upped the xs2000 to 50% as they were starting to stretch a bit and I want this tall strain as compact as possible. One plant is showing preflower so I figured now was a good time. I will tie them down soon and start some lst. Just adding cal mag water when dry and a mist here and there. Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. Not too much going at the moment. I did a micro topping which went smoothly and caused no stress. They seemed to love it actually. Cindy likes it rough haha. I too dressed with the Gaia Green 284 and a half dose of 444 as it’s been about a month and I dont want deficiencies. The XS2000 is at 70% and the girls are loving it. This is a great light. Awesome for a 2x4 or 3x3. I may even try it with a 4 auto 4x4, it’s that powerful. Other than that, so far so good. 👍🏻 Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. This week I did some defoliation of large leaves blocking bud sites and leaves sitting in the mud. I’m putting in a trellis to open them up, fill the tent and keep them shorter, out of the light. They’re bushing up quite a bit and filling out nicely. The XS2000 is at 90% to encourage them to shoot up. I find I only use 100% for the mid weeks of flower in the “heat of summer” so we’ll be getting there soon. Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. These FastBuds Cinderella are cruising along and loving life. The XS2000 is at the top of the tent at 90% now as these top buds of the center plant are showing a bit of light stress. Things are going well otherwise. I may do a slight defo as the leaf tucking is clogging up air flow to the lower bush and blocking lower sites. I’m just top dressing with 284 and adding bit of monster bloom. Buds are coming in nicely. Not a ton of smell yet but I do have 2 carbon filters ripping at max to scrub the Cali, Jack and Cookies in the other tent. Other than that not too much going on at the moment. Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers These Cindy’s are happy and mostly healthy. The one seems to have a leaf condition going on but she seems to be growing buds the most. I added a bit of 284 just to make sure she’s not low on nutes in her soil. The XS 2000 is up at the top of the tent and I may have to start my poor man’s light mover technique so those top buds on the center plant aren’t getting blasted. I want to keep the light at 90-95% to keep summer temps and light intensity up during this phase. Other than that just cruising along. Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. Things are going well in here. Smells are getting potent, buds are starting to thicken up. There’s 3 completely different phenos here. 2 look half done and one looks like it’s just starting so that could be interesting. Not too much to be said this week. Just watering when mostly dry. I’m going to start my light mover technique soon as the plants grow closer to the light. I’m noticing a bit of leaf edge curl and will keep an eye out for light stress. I could dim the XS2000 but with the Cindy’s being sativa dom, I’m thinking they’ll like the light. Other that, I’m just top dressing and watering when needed. I’ll do a slight defo to open up bud sites, but not yet. Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. Well, things are going well with Cindy. I definitely have 3 drastically different flowering stages going on. One is significantly further ahead, one a week back and one that’s just getting started producing. This could make this a bit difficult, but we’ll figure it out as far as finishing is concerned. I am moving the xs2000 from side to side like I’ve done previously and the plants love it. A day or 2 of more intense light and a day or 2 with less. It allows me to run this powerful little light at higher levels without light stress. All I’m doing is top dressing every 2 weeks and watering when the sunshine is dry on top. So easy. I love this setup!!! Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. Things are going well in the Cindy tent. They are all at various stages, but making good progress this week. A lot more trichomes on the advanced 2 and bud structure on the straggler. I removed some larger fans blocking bud sights and cleaned up the underneath of the straggler. I am just watering when dryish and adding a bit of monster bloom. I am also moving the XS2000 from side to side to decrease light stress and pump them with as much light as possible. No need for any Gaia Green this week. Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. 2 of these girls are making there way to the finish line. Starting to see some leaf conditions and the smells are pretty intense. The straggler is gonna need a bit more time but seems like a fast finisher, she’s catching up pretty quickly. They all have a different structure all together. Tall, short, big or smaller buds. They’ll probably all equate to the same yield but who knows at this point. The XS2000 is still being moved side to side and the plants are living it!! What a great powerful light for a 2x4 tent!! Happy Growing 🌱

Hey Growers. These girls are taking their sweet time finishing but I guess we’ll have to wait for them a little longer. They’re chonkin up a bunch, fading and purpling out beautifully. At this I am just watering with cal mag water til they’re done. I have the XS 2000 is dimmed down to 90%. At 100% it was giving them some fan bleaching and tacoing. I am just waiting for these girls to be done so I can start my FastBuds Gelato Auto run with the XS2000. Happy Growing.

Hey Growers. I’m not sure what the hold up is, but they call the shots so I guess we wait a bit longer. It’s talking longer than normal for them to fade but I’m sure they’re close. They’re a more yellowing every day. These 3 phenos are quite different and I’m sure that’s not helping with having a definitive end date. They will go into darkness for 2-3 days then they’ll come down. The smell is crazy, I added the second fan a while ago to help with that. I am just waiting for these girls to be done so I can start my FastBuds Gelato Auto run with the XS2000. Happy Growing.

The harvest was easy. When you add in the Gaia, the XS2000 and the FastBuds seeds it’s a dynamite combo. The quality harvested vs time and energy put in is awesome!!! This is my 3-4 run with this combo and I’m so happy with the results. I harvested 444 g plus 100-/+ of sugar trim and larf for edibles from a 2x4x5 tent. I also want to say, not a single bug!!!!!! I would say the only downside was the 3 particular seeds I got flowered a 3 significantly different rates. That being said with the Gaia green I just added the nute to whatever plant needed it and watered with cal mag water so not a huge deal. Happy Growing 🌱
