Hey welcome to my basement grow! Hope I can learn as much from all of you as you can from me. I will be growing three fastbuds strains in this diary. Sour Jealousy, Californian snow, and Purple Lemonade.
Germinating all three at the same time. Direct sow in 3 gallon pots. Just waiting for them to pop, excited for all of these strains! Growing in Fox Farm Happy frog/Ocean forest+ Perlite and a few cups of Wakefield biochar +mycorrhizal mixed in the medium. Won't feed them for the first few weeks probably. Once I start feed I will update with that. Hopefully all three pop!
EDIT: 12/23/24 Cali Snow above soil as seedling
Happy growing.
Shes shooting up. Not quite in veg but pretty close. The sour jealousy seems to be taking the lead on this, definitely showing her sativa traits. The other two are doing fine. Cali snow has a little rough start by the coloration of it but I think she'll be okay
Californian Snow not doing good. It might be dying and not sure what happened to it. Possible nutrient burn, medium may be to hot for this particular strain. Even though my Ocean Forest is diluted with happy frog and perlite. Not killing it yet going to see what happens. I wonder if maybe it didn't like the 24/0 light schedule i am giving the cali snow. . . Hmm.. Will Pop another one if this one fails and will change things up. EDIT: Pulled the first Cali Snow. Started a new one. It was stunted. A camera dropped on it and smashed the stem might have caused it. Popped a new one.
Purple Lemonade going pretty good still a seedling but has true leaves. Going into veg. No nutrients yet.
Sour Jealousy is doing amazing and is the biggest of all three and not sure if that's its sativas traits or what but wow it's healthy. These are all on day 17 , 12 days above soil specifically.
On to week 4. No pre flowers yet! Lost the Cali Snow auto unfortunately, but started another and it popped successfully. Will update grow log on it.
Not going to fim or top these two. Only going to leaf tuck and let them grow and light defol. Lightly fed them nutrients around 400-500 PPM of Cronk grow with calmag. They took it well it seems. This update would be day 20 for these two. Light intensity currently at 50% but will bump it up to 75% very soon.
This is beginning week 6. It went into flowering. It's on day 32. Growing over healthy . Very bushy structure. I did a light defoliation and that's the only training I've done so far. Getting 450 par of light right now.
Flowering is going good the bud sites are forming and she didn't stretch much but is a very bushy plant. Just leaf tucking and a few leafs trimmed off up until now.
End of week 8. Giving full bloom feed with Cronk nutrients @ 800-1000 ppm runoff consistently. Seeing some lower leaves yellowing but other then that she's a healthy plant. Buds starting to fatten up and I'm getting a rotten fruity smell off her! It's nice! Training I've done is bending the top over and defoilate and bending branches/leaves. Getting about 600-700 par right now. 18/6.
Training done is i bent the top over and defol. That's all really. Has a fat thick cola. Not the taller girl but that could be my training. Smells like pungent fermented fruit
full bloom feed. runoff ppm 1000, pH 6.83. has been getting 800 ppfd on 18/6. used botnicare pro bloom soil and calmag. Cronk monkey juice and Cronk sticky bandit. flower fuel for booster. training was bent top over and defol.. I'm impressed with the top cola that baby is thick she put everything she had into that. Smells of pungent rotteñ fruit with a hint of gas!
