FBA2502
Welcome to my new journey into the world of FastBuds. So how did I get here you ask. First, I won the November Diary of the Month (DOTM) and got some cool pins and 4 packs of seeds I got to choose and a 3 seed pack of one of FastBuds new unnamed strains-FBA2502.
Wait there’s more. DOTM December, I won that too. I won the FastBuds special box Christmas socks (yay), a hat and 5 packs of seeds also of my choice and a 5 pack of the same tester strain FBA2502. I wanted to see the full range of this new strain but have limited space to grow them at the same time. I kept 6 and gave 2 to my friend.
PS her 2 seeds germinated also. So 8 out of 8 = 100% germination.
I still make a lot of mistakes in growing and not knowing anything about what to expect regarding size, shape, hardiness and temperament testing these seeds gives me anxiety. Originally, my plan was to try topping and lst 3 of the seeds and let the others grow naturally with minor defoliation as needed.
However, FastBuds wants pictures of the main cola in various phases of flower. Considering this, I will let them grow with either tucking leaves or minor defoliation so plant structure, height and disease resistance can be determined. All will be grown with identical nutrients.
Thank you for joining me on this journey into the unknown.
March 25 -I put 6 seeds in glass of filtered water with 7.5 ml Hydrogen Peroxide in a dark cabinet. Watered each pot with 2 liters of ph water to get the soil dampened.
March 26 still floating
March 27 9:15am I see little tails on all but one seed. Into the prepared final 3-gallon air pot. The soil is 40% Happy Frog, 40% Coast of Maine and 20% Mushroom compost. I added Dynomyco to the bottom 2/3 of the soil blend. I sterilized my long nose tweezers and carefully put them tail down into the soil. Dripped 15ml distilled water over the seed area and covered with a clear dome.
March 28, a quick peek. Anything? And still I wait.
March 29 Eureka 6 little heads popped out to greet me this morning. Stay tuned for more as we discover this new strain FBA2502.

Week 3 April 13-19 Veg 2
This week I introduced nutrients to the watering schedule. My planned feed schedule will be to feed, feed, water each week until the time to flush. , adjusting nutrients per the growth cycle. Hopefully this will keep from overfeeding and reduce salt build up in the soil.
Nutrients: I will be using General Hydroponics Flora line at ½ feed rate and Cal mag throughout this grow.
My tap water measures 8.3-8.5 so even after adding nutrients, I have to PH down my feed solution. Regarding nutrients, I’ve tried Fox Farm, TPS1, Plagron and now General Hydroponics. What I am looking for is organic, ease of use, minimal individual bottles that will yield large, dense sticky buds that hit hard in effect.
Plants range in height from 5-7” except #1 which has been pinned to the soil. I will try wrapping her around the perimeter of the pot. Since she leaned over, I pinned her down and have been anchoring along the rim, twisting the stem so the node is on the side or top rather than underneath. I don’t think she likes training since the stems are a bit floppy. They are all still in veg, bushy with large indica leaves. I’ve been tucking the large leaves under the bud sites to give more light under the canopy. I’m tempted to top one of the bigger plants to have a comparison on resistance and final yield.
This week I made a short video for each 2502 tester and a pic or 2.

@StarLorr, This is the first single strain multi plant grow ever. I'm interested in seeing what results, sativa, indica, flavors, effects. I sure hope we like it, cuz there will be a boat load of it.
