Hey now, hope everyone is doing well, I had one out of two Fastbuds Strawberry Bananas pop and she is currently in Pro-Mix seedling starter/perlite but will be transferred to Coco Coir/Perlite as soon as her roots fill up the solo cup. I will transplant her probably in a week or so, she seems to be starting slow even though she's in a perfect environment. I have seen this before, and some of the ladies I was ready to give up on became massive producers, so I'll see what happens with this one. I have gotten some great yields and flower quality from Fastbuds strains, but I have not had the greatest germination success rate compared to other breeders.
I started prepping some coco for this grow by flushing it down to .4 EC and I currently have it soaking in buckets of water with an EC of 2.0 from Cal Mag. This will help prevent cal mag deficiencies in the plants. I will transplant her to her final home in a week or so which will be a 5.4 Gallon Airpot. Once in her final home she will get fed 4x per day, and the runoff will go to my tomatoe plants outside which will also be in coir.
I am very excited to crank this Medic Grow LED up and especially add that UV/IR spectrucm to the flowers and see what effect that has on the final THC and terpene production. I am currently running the Spectrum X at 30% which is about 230 watts in the F1 spectrum which is the blue/veg spectrum. I will be adding more seedlings to the tent here shortly to try and fill her up, but I started with the longest expected grow times of Glueberry OG and Strawberry Banana, and next week I will add a Gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds and a Purple Punch from Barney's Farm with the hope that they will all be ready for harvest within a week or two of each other.
Thanks for stopping by, stay safe, and Blaze On! ๐ช

@Tweezer, This is going to be my first run with , and I've been easing up on the alloted time , I'm almost 4 weeks in and I'm around 1hr15 min on... I'm not using the IR just the UV .... IR will come later in the grow as I don't want any extra stretching ๐ So far so good , but it may take a few runs to see if ive gain any real benefits ๐ Happy Growing
@Tropicannibis_Todd, Hey brother, thats alot of Strawberry in your garden.....I see you are growing with the Mars Hydro UR45 UV/IR bar, have you completed any runs with it so far? This is my first run with supplemental UV/IR lighting and I am super excited to see the results.....How many hours are you running it per day?
Ahhhh I seen this light. It has a cool LCD display. Aswel as by itself functional IR? Medicgrow look good. Hopefully soon they'll break into the EU? @MedicGrow
@gottagrowsometime, First time ever running any of their products so I can't say much other than all the reviews I read are very good. I will have a much better update here in a couple months.....No way to run the UV/IR lights solo though if that is what you were asking....
One of my favourites from FB, Heather send me some, so ill do forest run with 9 of them.
Personally think, for me - its most tastiest strain from FB range.
I would not give it to a friend ;))))
@Tweezer, it was a good yield for me also from my memory. I've got a few autos that need to be done, first I need to get a veg tent setup. I'll use that for autos and veging.
@Wyregrasser, Thanks brother, I started out with autos, then I grew a couple of photo mainlines, I have gotten decent results with both, I like building mainlines out of photos, but autos have come a long way.....
Wonderful setup and plants bro.
It was my first grow, the only one survivor in that run of 3, and she has been good and prized me of all the love I gave her and her unlucky sisters. Quite tasty indeed, produced much and good.And it hit quite nicely. Good luck on you grows mate! peace
