connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 01/17/26*** Started the germination process, all 4 should hopefully pop in the next 2 to 3 days, paper towel & a couple of plastic bowls with some bottled water! Put a stem to the side of the plate so I don't lose track of which order they are in ! Strains are: UBC Chemo Fast Flower - (UBC Chemo Clone x BBB Kush Auto) Rockstar Kush Fast Flower - (Rockstar Kush Clone x BBB Kush Auto) Faster Master Fast Flower - (Master Kush x Tuna Kush Auto) SR-71 Purple Kush Fast Flower - (SR-71 Purple Kush 2011 x Bubba Kush Auto) Have a fresh bag of unused LSO to start these with & more on the way, want to ensure I don't stunt my plants this time around! Will be starting them in 1 gal pots & transplanting into 5 gal pots somewhere in between Day 18 - Day 21 Shall continue running Cronks PUUR Organic line alongside their Monkey Juice & Armadillo Armor which are also organic, I also have some Great White Myco, Fish Head Farms Fish Sh!t, Blackstrap Molasses & a 5 seed cover crop that consists of Buckwheat, Alfalfa, Clover, Lentil & Fenugreek ! 1st time running fast flowering strains, very impressed with everything Butterbean Birdseed thus far & I assume these will be no different! The UBC Chemo x Tuna Kush I finished near the end of September 2025 was absolutely PHENOMINAL! Will be cool to see how the UBC Chemo will differentiate from the cross while its on its own! ***UPDATE 01/21/26*** All 4 seeds have successfully germinated! Cleaned all equipment & printed/laminated 2 sets of labels for each pot Ran into a couple of issues today... The UBC Chemo & Faster Master were ready to go into pots this afternoon but my living soil was very dry, I sunk them a knuckle & a half into the dirt & PH'd some water to 6.0 so I could water them in, the water would just sit on top eventually finding crevices within the pots before leaking out the drainage holes on the bottom without saturating the medium! I ran 1L of water between the two of them & the soil did not absorb anything! Realized I had to remove the seeds & pre saturate the medium before I could plant them, I found the UBC Chemo but could not find the Faster Master within it's pot & ended up losing it in the process... Dumped all four 1 Gal pots of soil into a 5 Gal bucket & added 3L of water at a PH of 5.9 in order to pre saturate the medium, this worked very well & I will repeat this process anytime I am working with a bag that has sat & dried out! The UBC Chemo remained fully in tact & was successfully planted into it's 1 Gal pot, it is now in the tent, the Rockstar Kush & SR-71 Purple Kush have germinated successfully but their tap roots still need another day or so to grow before I will plant them, went ahead & threw another Faster Master into the seed dome to germinate as well & re-saturated the paper towel with some bottled water that had been PH'd to 6.0, noticed I have much faster germination rates when the water has been properly PH'd, I will continue on with this practice during all future grows! Humidifier decided to short & caught fire today as well! Replaced it with the Levoit I usually have in my 4x4 for now :P ***UPDATE 01/22/26*** The replacement Faster Master successfully germinated in less than 24 hours & is now on track with the other two seeds, still waiting on tap roots to grow a bit before planting them, this is a prime example as to why we should PH water during the germination process, 18hr germination with water PH'd to 6.0 vs 5 days with seeds germinated with bottled water at a PH of 7.9 Will start week 1 veg once all 4 plants are above soil! ***UPDATE 01/24/26*** All 4 seeds are now in 1 Gal pots & the UBC Chemo is already above soil, hoping the SR-71 Purple Kush surfaces ok, not much progress on it's tap root over the past couple of days, decided to drop it in the dirt anyways a tad bit earlier than I normally do Raised light to where each plant will be receiving roughly 260 uMOL of light when they surface Temps have been pretty good & RH should rise shortly ***UPDATE 01/25/26*** Gave each plant roughly 250ml of water mixed with 1ml/L monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.0, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water Still waiting on 3 plants to surface prior to starting week 1 veg ***UPDATE 01/25/26*** Fired up a clip fan & have that running on 7/10 power slightly above the starting canopy, this will help strengthen the seedlings during those early stages of growth, still waiting on the other 3 plants to surface at which point I will reposition the fan to have it directly on them, cut a horizontal slit in a plastic straw & wrapped that around the stalk of the UBC Chemo for some support, will do the same with the other 3 once they are above soil

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 02/03/26*** Figured I would start Day 1 veg today now that 3/4 plants are above soil, I ended up losing the SR-71 Purple Kush & went back to ceramic plates instead of plastic bowls for germination so I can utilize the higher temps in the tent w/o running into issues, tap roots generally seem to take much longer to grow in those colder temps, PH'd some bottled water to 6.1 for the germination process of another SR-71, hoping to have that in a 1 gal pot & above soil by the end of the week! Gave each plant roughly 300ml of bottled water at a PH of 6.2 Have straws around the stalks of the UBC Chemo & Rockstar Kush for support, the Faster Master still needs to stretch a bit before I can support that as well, currently have a clip fan on them to strengthen them up during the earlier stages of growth I may run into some issues with soil this run, had a brand new bag of unopened LSO that sat & cooked in its bag for 6 months or so, I used this to fill my 1 gal pots, the wetting agent dried out completely & I could not saturate the medium at first as it was non absorbent, ended up dumping the soil into a 5 gal bucket & mixed some PH'd water in by hand to fully saturate the medium, noticed a lot of white fuzzy material at the tops of the pots, does smell earthy over musty so there is a chance this could be mycelium over mildew or another type of harmful mold, will continue to monitor the soil as time goes on, plants do seem happy for now which is good! Temps/RH are pretty good right now, both numbers should still rise as the day continues Will be updating this diary every other day during veg due to the limited amount of photos I'm able to post during that time, will be daily uploads during flower once that time comes, wish me luck ! ***UPDATE 02/05/26*** Plants only needed a splash of water today, ended up giving each of them 133ml of bottled water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.5, really just wanted to get some more microbes in there for now Moved the SR-71 Purple Kush I have germinating out of the tent because the paper towel was drying out too quickly, resaturated the paper towel with bottled water at a PH of 6.1, seed has not cracked open yet Temps should drop a bit throughout the day as RH continues to rise
