10/18 - A Third seedling has broken soil. RH was too high causing droplets so I removed the Humidity Domes. Ambient RH is %35. The Rockwool is still moist from a watering so nothing added.
10/19 - Today is the first day entering the 18/6 light cycle. Front left seedling is breaking soil with its leaves open. Looks like some damage on one leaf from the seed casing coming off to early.
10/20 - Front left isn't looking so hot from the seed coming off to early. All Ph's between 5.8 and 6. RH was 40% lowest 48% highest. Tent temps at 72-77. Rockwools are still damp.
10/21 - Water Reservoirs Ph'ed. Aluminum added to stop light from getting into reservoir. Back left and right roots have broken into water.
10/22 - Water added to each reservoir. Another seedling germinated to replace the Front left. Temps hitting 82 during day.
10/23 - Ph'ed water in reservoirs. Seedling still germinating to replace front left. (removed pics of old front left)
10/24 - Temperature ranges from 73-82. Reservoir Change. Final Day week one 7-8 more left!

10/25 - Seedling put in rockwool to replace front left. Light increase to 562 watts. Nutrients increased to 1/2 strength. All Ph's adjusted.
10/26 - Nutrient water added to Day 1 new Front left seedling at 1/4 strength. Temps going from 70-93 Average with lights on is about 84.
10/27 - RH is sitting around 40. I need to get this much higher to alleviate temperature problems as I increase the light. Flowering should help a little.
10/28 - Possible root rot. could simply be Nutrient Stain on the roots. Which is very common with GH trio nutrients. (update on 10/31: Root Stain from the Nutrients)
10/29 - Had to remove the External venting. Now venting into same room as intake with house AC set to 72 and house fan on.
10/30 - Temperatures averaging around 88. A four degree increase without external ventilation. way to high - MUST get an AC unit before increasing the lights to 750w.
10/31 - Received more Hydro-ton. Now the plants will have stem support and no more Foil to block out light from reservoirs. Tomorrow begins week 3.

Many things happened with this grow since it was last updated. Including a harvest and smoke!
My personal camera (in phone) broke so I stopped being able to update as easily. That combined with 12 hour work shifts made it hard to keep updated. I did however manage to use someone else's camera throughout the process to collect some pictures. I will post those all here, unfortunately I don't have the dates for the pictures. I DO have harvest photos that I will post here this week hopefully. Sneak peak: final weight on one plant is 5.7 oz ;)
Disclaimer: Somewhere in between week 10 and 12 the timer for the lights switched to 24/7 causing a light burn and decreased product value. Not too disappointing really I am happy with the final product!
I highly recommend these Auto-flowering genetics. The harvest was above expectations and slightly behind schedule, but I have very little negative to say about this Strain or this grow cycle. I am looking to develop a top down drip system to speed up the seedling/clone stage a few days for even better results. Because of these great results I am looking forward to my next FastBuds strain. This next grow I will be picking up local clones here in California perhaps this time a purple theme. 😎
