Starting the new Batch.
Germination in a Glass of Water.
This run will be my first time using the Autopot system with pebbles and coco substrate.
The nutrient schedule will follow the product line from the company Canna.
The first week was a bit slow; all seeds took 48 hours to germinate. The Fast Buds seeds showed no issues, but one seedling is growing much slower compared to the other plants. However, I assume this problem will resolve or recover in the next few days.
The Mimosa has grown incredibly well and quickly, showing no issues so far. However, I made a small mistake with the depth of the seeds, which caused the plant to stretch slightly upward.
I somehow had a rough start with the Fast Buds strain—possibly due to an error on my part. Both the germination and growth phases were slow, delayed, and not very successful. The plants were treated exactly the same as the Blueberry from Zamnesia and Mimosa from RQS, yet they show delays in development.
On top of that, I had some bad luck—one of the seedlings fell, and although the stem didn’t break, the plant didn’t take it well. Then, during transplanting today, part of the root ball broke off, slightly damaging the roots. I hope the plants will recover from this mishap and continue to develop normally.
In This Run, the Fast Buds dont perfom very well. I think I make some wrong Dessisions at the Beginning.
As mentioned in the other grow, all the plants showed signs of nitrogen deficiency. This was reduced or resolved within 48 hours using Canna Nitrogen as a spray applied under the leaves (stomata).
Topping of the plants was then continued, followed by LST training after observing them for 12 hours (overnight) to ensure they had recovered well from the topping.
I am very confident that I will achieve a satisfactory result here as well.
All the plants have recovered from the nitrogen deficiency using the method of increasing the nutrient solution and applying Canna Mono Nitrogen in a 1:1000 solution with a spray bottle. The FastBuds CBD is growing and growing! It's a lot of fun to watch. Like all the other plants, it currently requires quite a bit of care to guide the shoots in the right direction.
For a week now, the roots have reached the bottom of the pots and can now draw water through the Autopot system, which is working very well. However, I made the mistake of adding Canna Rhizotonic to the nutrient solution, which led to contamination in the tubing system. Fortunately, I was able to fix this easily by cleaning it. It's important not to use organic fertilizers like Rhizotonic or Boost Accelerator in the Autopot system. These need to be applied to the plants from above as usual.
At the moment, I’m concerned about the EC value (the electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution measured in Siemens per meter), which is at 2.7 when it should ideally be at 1.7. I’m still investigating the cause of this issue.
The plant on the left, which had issues at the beginning, has fully developed this week and is now on par with the other plants.
The Fastbuds CBD is developing beautifully! Since the end of this week, the plants have been receiving Boost Accelerator. Here too, you can literally watch them grow
