Welcome to Growdiaries Grow 17/18.
I have been sorting out another space over the last few weeks so I can start another grow while I'm waiting for grow 16 to finish.
I have butchered my secret jardin ds60 so it can fit it into my grow room.
My next 2 grows are going to be combined into one grow for the most part until the main tent is free then I'll be splitting the plants into 2 tents.
Growdiaries Grow 17 is going to consist of 3 fastbuds photoperiod testers. I haven't much information on these so I'm running them a bit blind. A big thanks to Heather from @Fast_Buds.
This grow is going to consist of.
#1 FBPHP12
#2 FBPHP13 ( unfortunately didn't make it)
#3 FBPHP14
This diary is going to focus on.
#3 FBPHP14
Germination.
Wednesday 15/3/23
The 2nd tent is about ready so today's the day to start germination on the Fastbuds testers. Also the Zamnesia seeds arrived today which is why I'm starting that grow early.
5.30pm
Start soaking seeds.
9.30pm
#3 FBPHP14 Did not sink when tapped
Placed all in paper towel between 2 plates.
Thursday 16/3/23
9.30pm
All seeds had cracked so placed in soil, soil maybe a bit too damp.
Conditions aren't perfect in the tent.

#3 Above ground shell off
Because 5/6 are above ground I'm classing this as day 0 and germination is complete.
#2 FBPHP13 didn't make it and I tried another seed which also didn't make it so I'm going to try the last seed on my next grow. So I won't be running a diary on this tester until the end of August if I can get the last seed to germinate.
As I'm running quite a few diaries at the moment updates may not be as regular as I'd like but I do document everything so all my notes are relevant to the time period.
Back soon.
Thanks for stopping by.

Considering the heat wave this week i have managed to keep a decent VPD, been a bit of a battle but one i think i won. They only got water this week as the medium has a decent amount of nutrition in it while I dealt with the hot temps. This is why I should have stuck to my grow plan and been having a break at this point in the season.
#3 is doing great, she still reminds me of Gorilla glue with bud formation. Really great structure and I think I'm going to be impressed with this one.
The site only crashed a few times updating this one.

The weather has caused another tough week for controlling environment. The grow is showing signs of heat stress but nothing to worry about.
Out of the 2 photoperiod testers for fastbuds this one is my favourite. Really like her structure. Still reminds me a little of Gorilla glue.
Having issues again uploading diaries. So I'm giving up constantly uploading pictures after the weeks been saved to correct the ones that are missing. The admin team are aware of the issues on the site and are trying to sort it out. Looks like some idiot is spamming the site constantly making it run poorly, some people just need to get a life.

The weather cooled of a bit as the week got on so the grow didn't get as much heat stress as it had from previous weeks.
This is my favourite at the moment between the 2 testers. Bulking up nice and will be ready for harvest in a few week.

Things are looking good. Trichomes are mostly cloudy on all the plants so it's looking like a mass harvest instead of a split one. Not long to go, another week or two.
I really do like the shape of this plant. Looks awesome.

Good week really. Tops are pretty much done on all the plants just waiting for the lowers to mature a little more then they are done. The rate they are all maturing it's only going to be a matter of days before they all get chopped.
This one now looks a bit like wedding cheesecake, I'm really just guessing as to what she could be, earlier in the grow I was convinced she had Gorilla glue in her genes.
Back soon.
Take it easy.
