Think fast

meneerGreen Think fast First, a bit about this strain, It's a bit strange, because usually autoflowering varieties are made based on their non-autoflower counterparts. With Think Fast, it was the other way around; the autoflower Think Different was such a pleasant surprise that a non-autoflower had to come from it! Actually, it's a bit different, although the autoflower Think Different indeed turned out to be a fantastic growing surprise that yields very good autoflower harvests. Still, that's not the only reason the seed makers at Dutch Passion crossed the strain with a clone of their classic Power Plant. There was a special discovery that preceded this. The cannabis breeders found out that the first generation offspring of an autoflower and a non-autoflower, while not being autoflowers themselves, grow significantly faster than their photoperiod parent. These plants carry the recessive autoflower gene, but it doesn't express itself. Normally, these plants are used for further crossing to create a new autoflower. Well, in the case of Think Fast, it grows significantly faster than Power Plant. Think Fast is not an autoflower; it needs a light impulse to bloom. However, it does grow faster and more explosively than traditional photoperiod cannabis strains (non-autoflowers, that is). So, you're actually growing a kind of superplant. It becomes large and potent like a non-autoflower but grows with the explosive speed of an autoflower. The number of flowering weeks is still 8, but Think Fast will be quite a bit larger. Think Fast is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Outdoors, it will also be ready a bit earlier than other traditional outdoor cannabis strains. It will reach the same size and produce the same large buds as its Power Plant parent, and is almost just as fast and easy to grow as the autoflower surprise Think Different. Type: Sativa dominant hybrid Genotype: Think Different, Power Plant Flowering time: 8 weeks Sex: Feminized Yield: 500 - 600 gr./m2 indoors Height indoor: 100 - 120 cm Height outdoor: 100 - 120 cm THC: Average Flavor: Earthy, Spicy, Pine, Herbal Effect: Fast but comfortable high Seed company: Dutch Passion So, that's quite a story, but now you know what’s up, let's get started on the report. 9/8, took one seed of Think Fast out of the fridge (because that's where I store my cannabis seeds) to acclimatize. 9/10, placed the seed for germination using the coffee filter method, the method I always use that gives me a 100% germination guarantee (with a few exceptions). 9/11, put the rock wool plug in water so it can soak up; I prepared water with an EC of 0.8 and a pH of 5.5. 9/12, the seed had germinated and had a little root of about 1 cm, again (as almost always) after 48 hours. 9/13, that evening I put the lady-to-be under the fluorescent light (T5 6400K 24 watts) because she was already about 1 cm above the plug, so she’s eager to grow. 9/14, Today I measured the temperature and the humidity for the first time, temp 26.3, humidity 54, the cotyledons were visible today, I carefully removed the seed shell, but it was hanging quite loose so no problem. I raised the lamp a bit because she was almost touching it, and I also took some photos, the first of this lady, and added some water to the container she’s in. 9/15, Temp 25.9, humidity 56, added a bit of water to the container today, it was already clean out, I pour about 0.5 cm of water in the container. The lady was today with her head against the lamp, so I quickly raised the lamp again; luckily, she didn’t suffer any damage, so I was on time. The first serrated leaves were also visible, so tomorrow I’ll start with week 1.
