Hello, long time, no grow. I’m trilled to start on a new grow project, i’m away from growing a long time, but my love for ot was always present, i miss it a lot so i have got a few strains from Fastbuds to test and come back with a minimal setup.
I have got the Festberry, Bluedream, and the 1:20 cbd, they have sent in the Banana Purple punch
Ok, so what is a minimal setup? For this grow i have choose to grow in my balcony, it is fairly big and i gave good sunlight, we are in summer now, so temps are high, swinging a lot. It is raining often as well so I did not need to water much.
For the nutrients i will go organic i think, in my substrate i have about 30% warm castings, so i’m good for till mid grow length +-, i might add a bit of nutrients in 30 days mark.
The objective of this experiment is to use as little as possible, 360 degrees.
For the germination process i have used a mixed process method, that i have learned from Fastbuds and i have loved it, 24h in a glass of filtered water, paper towel for about 24h -48h and then the Floraflex gremination pellets, i have tested on the jiffy and worked fine as well. Cool about this method, if you are more on the anxious side or like to control more the process this is the way, you can follow the hole process and see the development in parts. I will add images later on, for this breakdown.
Well that is it, lets hope for a cool, safe journey for this girls.

The Blue dream i had germinated two and both look great so I have decided to keep two in one vase. Never done it, so let’s see what will happen.
@CANNASIM, I get it.Im going to address my plants with a cover crop for the purposes of water retention in the upper half.Im a bottom waterer and it totally makes sense.Thanks my friend for your sharing!
@Crabtreestreehouse, i have bought a companion mix, basically it works synergetic with the soil, besides providing a layer of humidity retention, so the soil does not get dry. It helps fixate the nitrogen, oxygenate the soil and amplify the living matter as well. The mix contains the following seeds mixed:
Common Vetch, Rye, Ukrainian Oats, Black Oats, Forage Turnip, Crambe, Buckwheat
In the technique i'm using i'm keeping them alive thru out the cycle and cropping gradually the top as they stretch, so shaving them gradually, there are those that crop them once a month and replant, and you can plant them, 15 days or so before moving your main culture to the vase, so they become a top layer and are reabsorbed to the soil, and then you replant the mix.
They tend to stretch a lot and fast, so your main culture have to be in a strong fashion so it is not covered by the cover mix, hope this makes sense.
