Natrona 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. Your likes and comments are appreciated.

When I opened the tent this morning, #1 was leaning on its side. Even though I said I was not going to train these gals, #1 said it wanted to be LST so I pinned her over chopsticks. 4/8 no water 4/9 10 oz ph 6.5 water around the edge of the pot. 410 10 oz ph 6.5 water around the edge of the pot. 4/11 no water Pics top & side & group.

Natrona 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. GH Flora Micro ½ tsp /gal Gro ½ tsp /gal Bloom ½ tsp /gal Fox CalMag ½ tsp /gal PPM 573 & 715 when I added Plagrons Royal Rush 4ml.

Natrona FBA2502 Week 4 April 20-26 Veg 4 Highlights of this week: I defoliated the large fan leaves from the main stems. After defoliating, I saw that plant #3 has a short, tight node structure like plant #1, so I pinned her down before she goes into flowering. Plants 2, 4, 5, and 6 are taller than plants 1 and 3. The larger plants 2, 4, 5, 6 show pre flowers with thinner new growth and hairs at the nodes. The leaves are wide and thick. Some have a slight blue tinge. This makes me think I’m over feeding. Apparently, the blended soil has enough nutrients for the autos, so I don’t need to feed right now. At the end of the week, I watered with ph 6.5 water with cal mag and recharge. Lights are 20” from tops of tall plants and 30 from 1& 3. My general thought for the future grows is to wait until the plant is bigger and see its structure before starting training. #1 has many branches coming into the middle. By beginning with pinning and keeping it at the ground, she will not achieve the stretch around the pot. I pinned #3 to push out the bud sites from being up against the main stem. It is easier to LST when there is more space between the nodes, so a bit of growth or stretch is required. Training to open the top is needed when the plant is short and tight. 4/20 Hairs on 2, 4, 5, 6 and feeding Micro ½ tsp/gal Gro ½ tsp/gal Bloom ½ tsp/gal CalMag 1 tsp/gal at full strength 4/21 pics & video 4/22 water only ph6.5. I watered with plain water, it looks like over feeding and they are in are transitioning to flower. 4/24 Water with recharge ½ tsp/g & CalMag 1 tsp/g ph 6.5 pics & vid see blue tinges in leaves. Plants shot up, doubling in height again this week. #1 6”, # 2 10”, #3 7”, 1 14 “ 5 14” 6 13” Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

@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.
