First time trying out Fast Buds. Got several seed packs from GotM awhile back and decided to give them a try. Originally selected Cherry Cola. Tossed my 3 beans in a shotglass of water to soak overnight then into the Rapid Rooters they go the next day. One sprouts on 2/1 and does well but the other 2 seemed to stall out mid sprout. On the 3rd I decide soak and puck 2 Gelato Autos to fill out my tent after giving up on them. They're sprouting by the 5th. I don't waste any time getting them set up in their buckets. I'll top feed a little bit until roots start showing up below. Solution is VERY diluted. The light is set about 28 inches above the plants @ 250w. Might be a touch close but it's a cold basement so they could use the warmth.
The Cherry Cola is looking nice. It's working on it's 4th node. I will be topping it very soon. I actually bumped this one up to 3ml on the base nutrients now that roots are touching the solution. Gelato #1 is a bit stretchy but looks healthy otherwise. It's been a little slower in showing roots. Gelato #2 is shorter at 3 inches but it's showing roots already and nodes aren't as stretched. The Gelatos are still running at the listed nutrient ratios. I didn't really want to lower the light closer so I went ahead and bumped up to 400w. I'm still running the light pretty high up even for that wattage, so we'll see how it goes.
All roots are showing and everything has been moved to a mild veg ratio. Cherry Cola is going strong. Topped it a couple days ago. I moved the Gelatos to the corners of the tent until their veg growth picks up more. I don't wanna overdo it with the light on them.
