Day 33 from Seed: In general these ladies have just got on with it this week while I worried about some of the other girls. Their training has been a breeze so far and they have been made more pliable by the silica. I have now stopped using the Mega crop in the Los soil now the pot is making it's own nutes but I will keep my eye on them for any paling and need to re feed with the Mc. The coco girls are on 1g/L to see how they settle into that now.
#1is doing brilliantly and her size indicates she will be a great yielder. She is quick to turn her heads back up once pinned so I will need a fast hand to keep up.
#2 The runt of the whole pack. I dont know why she is so small besides some evidence of def on her initial growing leaves. Her new growth looks a lot better but I think she will need less strength feed than the others. Her structure looks good but she is very small I general compared.
#3 was my expected star of the grow room but is now not in the front row anymore. She is perfect and growing great. training has been easy with her and her sites are plentiful too. I think she will be the biggest of the Smoothies.
I am very happy with their progress so far . great work Fast buds.
@PrairieFrostGrow,Thanks bud. I am impressed with them so far. Wish I could have sussed what was happening with the poorly girl. been the same throughout the grow ?. thankfully still kicking buds out.
Cracking video there @Ganjagrandaddy (on insulation week 8)
Those growers in California and Australia just don't get what we have to put up with!
However I guess one good thing about winter - no bugs
Tried growing Basil in the garden once and it was eaten alive by mites
@LordAzrael,Lol agree there mate. we had a hot summer here and all us uk growers lost our minds and learnt a lot about bud rot too.!!. This stuff is good for keeping heat OUT too. I got by in some serious ( for uk) temps with no airflow rhrought the loft at all. It got hot but never more than 30ยฐc which was a bonus compared to outside silly temps. I prefer a winter grow for sure now out summers have heated up but these Fast buds in their own fabric pots , will make a brilliant guerilla grow outdoors for us next year. A nice sealed box idea using this outside your tent like a thermal blanket , will allow you a lot of control for very little cost before starting the expensive environmental additions and their running costs. All good mate. keep green
Merry Xmas
