Soaked this little O13 for about 48 hours until she cracked then she was placed in a rockwool cube that was prepared by soaking overnight in pH 6 RO water. I put them on a bed of moist perlite to help balance the moisture in the rockwool. She will be transferred to a dutch bucket when she is ready. Will update photos when she breaks the surface which will mark day 1. Very excited that fastbuds is working on bringing us some old school strains!
UPDATE: 5 days from the initial soak this girl is up and ready to grow. I built a compact 2 plant dutch bucket system. I needed something that didn't take up a lot of space and can be easily moved so the (2) 2.5 gallon buckets sit on top of their 17 gallon reservoir. Using an aquarium powerhead to pump nutrients 24 hours a day. A small air pump keeps the reservoir oxygenated. Buckets are lined with 120 micron paint strainers and filled with 100% perlite like always. Drain is set a little above the bottom of the buckets so they always have a little reserve water in case of pump or power issues. I will run the system for 24 hours to make sure ph is stable then this little beauty will be planted. The FBTO13 will run next to a FBTO1.
Day 4 she is looking happy and healthy. Started them on a little maxigro
Day 7 she is growing steady. Looking happy
@Ga4rd2en0er, hell yeah putting a system together is almost as satisfying as the actual grow. The tidy cat litter buckets are great. Animal shelters give piles of them away around here.
@Wicked_Stix, I believe I will be receiving their fast photo strains. They just shipped a couple days ago so I am in mad scientist mode crafting a system. I am thinking of making that small tent my veg room and my 4x2x7 should hopefully be vacant in 7 weeks to make it the flower room.
@Wicked_Stix, wow, I wish we were neighbors so we could gang bang these bitches together!!! ROFLMAO!!!
And as for the snuff pictures, well let's just say I've never gotten excited over that idea b4 but the way you describe it has me all excited.
@stunflower, yeah man she is definitely a bush. I think she would have stayed together better if she had more light when she hit her stretch. She has a lot of buds though
