Started back up with another FastBuds strain. This time around it'll be Blackberry strain hoping to do well on this. Prepped soil with added perlite and coco coir. Also mixed in some dolomite lime to boost CalMag for these autos. My fist attempt at growing an auto had CalMag deficiency.
Soaked seeds overnight and placed into root riots. Within the next day 3 of 3 sprouted. Few days later, they have been transferred to 5 gallon fabric pots. Mist them with plain water during the first week to keep humid a little higher. Sometime next week, low dose of nutrients will be introduced. Low stress training will also be applied to them. I though about using a scrog technique but I think I'll keep it simple this time.
Shes looking great so far. And thank you for creating an extremely thorough diary. I am gl in ng to enjoy following this along the way. Specially since I really want to grow this strain next. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck with the rest of the grow!
@CRiSPrGrow, I actually got a 3 pack of fastbuds zkittles and lemon ak in hand but not sure if iβll run those next as my main grow. I miss growing photoperiod and taking time with training. Iβll probably save those for my small tent.
@Short_N_stockY,
Same here....mostly cloudy, with about 10% amber is my normal time to harvest.
But when the variety is known to only be 17-18% THC, I usually let them go til they're about 40% amber so it's a little more ass-kicking.
I quit feeding mine at 10 weeks and killed it at the beginning of the 12th week. I see some Blackberry grows going for more than 12 weeks and they do seem to really fatten a lot more. I'll let mine go a week longer or more next time for sure.
The potency was such that it's really best before bed, so I'll bet it's even more hammerish if left to ripen longer.
@Silverback_Guerilla, I would say 2 weeks she'll be ready to be chopped down. I usually go by reading trichomes and I experimented harvesting all milky to mostly amber. Not really sure if it makes significant difference but then again I grow different strains every time.
Whats your take on harvesting?
200 grams per plant dry bud?!?!? That's nuts, also how did your wet weight being 150g but dry weight is 600g total for 3 plants?
I ordered 10 of these seeds the other day, gonna be popping them after my pineapple express but perhaps I'll start with 4 instead.
@TheSweetScience, thereβs definitely a mix up with the final numbers. I got close to 2oz dry weight per plant.
So far Iβve had great success germinating seeds from fast buds. Good luck and happy growing!
