11/1 In the water - bottled 6.0 - under the eye of the vicious Woodstock on the heated seedling mat.
2 Green Crack going into 5 gallons of washed and buffered coco 60% and perlite 40% using cocotek A and B nuets
No nuets of course
11/2 On the paper towel, all look cracked on quick inspection
11/3 Cracked no tails ... at all... getting nervous... hate this part
11/4 Still no tails, the two Fastberry have already sprouted and been planted. Nervous again lol
11/5 Still no tails, going to drop two more later though Ive no confidence in them at this point.
update:
Holding off dropping two more, getting some activity (not breathing easy yet) from the first two.
Seems my last ditch effort of a 3% peroxide solution soaking the seeds MAY be working.
Wait one more night
11/7 Planted to very very sad germs out of habit more than hope on em.
H2O2 works just wasnt much more to be done on em.
Dropped two more into the water from the second pack of seeds, maybe it matters.
11/9 Tails on both, planted in coco. Looks like that first set of seeds is ... questionable :)
11/12 Finally some green! One is up nothing from the others yet. At least I have a grow now :D
11/13 One is up fairly strong the other is up but not looking as well may be a problem here just watching and waiting.
Calling this Day 1 , will name later if things go well
11/14 New pics, both up looks like I have a grow
Ladies of SciFi... Meet Ripley and Tara
Going to carefully poke around in those first two pots that didnt sprout. See If I can learn anything.
Need to figure out how to prevent that kind of thing.
11/15 New Pic. They growing well now.
Found on the two other pots the seeds never did anything after planting which is what I expected to be honest. Afraid that seed pack is a no-go
Feeding mix - 2 cups at 5.9 of each, .6ml CocoTek A & B, Fish Sh!T to runoff until transplant
11/16 New Pic and Vid The GC is playing a game of catch-up with the Fastberry
Feeding every day now will go to twice daily when large enough.
11/19 Day 6
Really liking the coco coir. two feedings a day at 5ml cocotek A&B and 4 ml Fish Sh!t / gal at 6.0
Meter got in - TDS of the above feed is 575 with tap water being 210 giving a nuet level of 365 well within seedling and early veg limits, so plenty of room down the road.
Will be working it up as I feel right
11/20 End of week 1 ... heh finally :)
Put a lot of thought and study into this and adjusted the feeding. This in response to some slight lightening at the leaf tips suggesting nuets too high.
Water TDS 220 ( gonna have to get a filter soon) so subtracting that I have the solution at 230 ppm (@2.5ml/gal cocotek AB with 2ml Fishsh!t which has little impact on TDS ) PH to 6.1. 450 ppm without adjustment which was my real target here.
Fertigating twice daily to 5% runoff, transplanting when roots start poking out.
Gentlest way I can think of to try and catch these babies up a little.
Have what I hope is an easy one for yall.
Need to change where I get my seeds, Northwest USA , as my current supplier has gotten rather flaky.
Just looking for recommendations you dont have to justify .
Fast Buds and Barneys Farm needed,
No customs!
Thanks
Seems that you are searching for a USA based re-seller.
I have heard good things about Neptune seeds bank and they have some Fast Buds in stock but no Barney's
@Buddha2,
Hey so were we, I mean I kept waiting for it stop growing but it just kept it up.
Wish I had taken better pics but I tried to give her what she deserved.
@CRiSPrGrow,
We hold to, in autos in particular, grow them as healthy and stress free as you can so when you get one of these they do well.
One of the issues we have with autos is things like this, its problematic really lol good problems but still
@CaptainCream,
Sativas tend to go a bit longer anyway.
But all we can point to is genetics, or the bloom nuets we fed it when the pistols first appeared on the rumor it would slow flower. (tent space was an issue)
Take your pick
@WeedWhisperer,
I follow directions, literally.

Good genetics of course as well
For Tara - you could try a few feeds with NFTG The Kraken. Maybe 10 calendar days..14 days for sure. But this stuff will really strengthen your branches. I've had outdoor plants fall into each other with minimal loss using this shrimp product. π2Β’ looking good!
@Benji,
I am going to keep that in mind, had it still been stretching I would but now that its stopped I think I can manage. Will absolutely get some before my next sativa grow.
My water is so dam hard (230ppm) my plants get very stiff branches anyway but this girl could have used the help.
Thanks
@@Dakaka,
THank you
Wish I could take credit, we are looking back to see what could possibly have attributed to this size and came up with only that she was fed bloom nuets early to try and delay flower, had a tent space issue in the flowering tent, but it seems to help. Otherwise this is all on Fast Buds and genetic lottery.
A fellow fish shit-ter!!!
.
These Green Cracks are monsters, ain't they?!?? I've been wondering if i should defoliate her, and i think your work is going to confidize me to follow through. I noticed that yours seem, also, to be quite thirsty and near insatiable unless you drown em. Thoughts/experiences? I'm about 2-3 weeks behind you
@Benji,
I grow according to this book and its working out pretty well.

@Benji,
Yeah FS is pretty amazing organic.
Have to remove some of those leaves theres just too many. Yeah there is 40% perlite in the coco and that makes em thirsty(er) but Drain to Waste uses a LOT of water anyway. Next grow taking the perlite to 20%.
@mr_h_kovert,
Seeing some signs of flower but nothing serious yet.
They do seem to like the TS-1000 150w light though and that kind of sells me on replacing the big HID with the TS-2000 250w version, That is 350w less and cuts my grow costs considerably. Just needed a proof and think these are providing it.
@rhodes68, I ainβt never done cbd crack but I know it almost grew identical to stardawg and zittles couldnβt tell them apart really. Good luck bro I will check up in a few weeks ππͺπ¨ββοΈ
Wow she looks lush.
Great job and it's nice to see growers considering the medicinal side of the plants.
I look forward to going through your other Diaries and any future
biggest yield i have ever seen lmfao π what did u do when u saw it go like that ? i would have to throw out at least 3 plants.congrats on putting the standards to a new level
@Reaper,
We were too busy managing tent space to make everything work out.
She could have been larger we believe as she had to finish off at 12-12 due to flowering photos in the tent with her.
Mostly we just thought... DAMN HON ITS STILL GROWING!! π³.
Absolutely looking at those bloom nuets given during veg as we were attempting to delay flowering on the grow due to ... tent space issues LOL
May have worked going to try it on the LSD-25.
