ok guys so its day 77 for the fastbuds BDM and the end is near! i think i will harvest this girl on day 82-85 just to make sure she is flushed enough. i also started clearing out the top fan leaves and such to get some light to the lowers to help them finish up. i cant say enough good things about this strain, it is just a tank and produces buds all over the place. This will be a GREAT addition to the Fastbuds line up!๐ช
Looking great bro. I'm still not convinced by this pony tailing I see being done, I always thought it was lack of light that made plants stretch and look for more light.
@BigDaddyK, i soak the seeds in a cup od water for about 24 hrs until they sink for a little then place them in a wet paper towel inside a dvd case wrapped in a hand towel then ontop of my LED's until i get a .25" tap root or so then into the root riot cube and final pot. hope this helps. i have had a 99% germ rate at this method.
i just put up the other 2 new strains from fastbuds here on GD as well if you want to check them out also
Hi mate just studying your grow youre one of the few who have really documented and shared your methods so thank you for that! Will will be doing 3 of these on my next run and was hoping for some monster yields like you have got. I was curious i see in the first picture of week 3 that you have cut off the first set of fan leaves just above the seed leaves for what reason is this? Hopefully i can follow your grow to a T ๐๐
thankls for stopping by @BuddingBudda, to be honest im not sue why i took the fan leaves off. i usually take off that 1st set of lateral branches not the fan leaf lol good eye my friend! i usually take off the 1st set of branches because i feel it gives more power to the branches above which receive more light than the lowest branch
@HolyTHC, ever since i seen someone use them i gave am a shot and havent turned back!
thanks for tagging along for the grow, its looking like she is gonna be a nice bush!!!!
@BigDaddyK, LUX is not an accurate way to measure LED's and COBS. i would want to use a PAR meter or i forget the name of the other meter that measures micro-moles
Can BD really handle 500ppm right off the bat? DAMN bro, how did you know it would handle those ppms? I started at 0ppm! You hear people say dont feed until week 2 or until the plant turns light green. Props to you anyway! Im going to increase my Blue dreamatic ppm high (slowly), wish me luck!
@Tripaholic88, Theres another grower here who started at 700+ppm, week 1! The plant took it like a beast though! So im assuming you were using the 500ppm scale?
@Thegermling509, if i remember corectly i was feeding at 500ppm including my tap waterppm at the end of week 1 which i agree was a little high as i normally start off at 350-400 ppm
@Tripaholic88, ๐๐ Beautiful buds, very nice results congrats! Your table is becoming a production line, lol! ๐๐ Do you prune/ lollipop/deleaf the girls?
