FastBuds Fast Flowering #2

ReinDeer I was knocked out when I heard the news that FastBuds is testing new photoperiod strains collection. I was given samples from the whole collection which is quite impressive. The strains don't have their name yet but they're marked with a sequence number. It was more a matter of choosing the random seeds this time and I decided to start with two of them. I'll be tracking this diary with FF2. What is know of this strain: "55 days Mostly Sativa" I started the growth by putting the seeds into a wet paper towel and all seeds germinate successfully within 48 hours. They were then transplanted into small pots with coco and will later be transplanted into the final 15 l pots." This round I decided to upgrade my grow tent to MarsHydro 100 x 100 x 180 and I cannot say anything but how great the tent is. The quality compared to price is very high. Another huge upgrade that I've been planning for quite long was a purchase of brand new LED light MIGRO 100+ that I've heard so many great things about. As the plants will grow I'll add 2 x BESTVA 600 Elite to give the plants some extra much needed light. The plants are healthy and small so nothing really interesting to write about. Today I started adding CalMag and rhyzotonic to the pH controlled water at 5.7. I'm really excited about new collection and really expecting a lot based on what I know from their autoflowering varieties 😻 Thanks everybody for stopping by and have a pleasant grow💪

ReinDeer The first week is over and little babies are doing nicely. As expected the growth is slowly progressing and I can already see small roots coming from the wholes at the bottom of little pots which shows the plants are healthy. They didn't need much water this week. I've started adding Canna mixture in little dosages not to cause stress. Also took some time to add two Bestvas 600 LEDs and made some house keeping and tied all the cables nicely to the skeleton of grow tent. All in all the plants are doing great, no problems so far and looking forward what this week will bring. Thanks everybody for all the likes and comments! 👌 Have a great week and healthy grow😁

ReinDeer It's the end of week 3 and here are the updates. I selected the best plant and transplanted her in final 15 liter pot and just watered her with a tap water with CalMag addition. Of course I'm always keeping the pH around 5.8. As I'm using ATAMI's prefertilized COCO I believe there is no need to add nutrients for at least couple of weeks.👌 Compared to to other plants (also strains) she's a beast and much bigger than her neighbours possibly to the fact she's got mainly indica genes. I love the new bigger tent upgraded with new equipment and can't wait what comes out of her. I'll be topping her next week. See you around and have a healthy grow😀

ReinDeer Again, we had a successful week for the plants. It seems they haven't been stunned from being transplanted to the final pots. They all grow vigorously, they don't scratch a lot but man, they're so full of new branches and leaves. This week I'll have to get them a proper defoliation. I topped all the plants at their 5th node and made a decision I won't be doing main-lining as it took too much time previous growth to get them to flowering. A difference between 4 plants is now quite obvious as they're 4 different strains, each being different in shape of canopy. What's common to them is a heathy state, which is 10/10 and that is really exciting 😀 I started doing LST now as I want to have huge plants with a wide and bushy shape 😋 I can already feel a mild smell but lets wait for few more weeks to get a proper aroma. New MIGRO light seems to be doing just perfect and I'll probably replace with two BESTVAs after few grows. I'm adding a really small amounts of base nutrients as the soil is prefertilized and it works perfect, no deficiency appearing so far. As I want to have huge trees in a tent, I'll for sure leave them in vegetation for few more weeks. Nevertheless, I had a chance to make few photos under a natural light on the balcony😎 Thanks everybody for stopping by, likes and comments. Feel free to comment, I'd be very grateful! 👊💪😄

ReinDeer I'm happy how the ladies are growing. They're getting stronger and stronger as the days are passing by. They all reacted very well to topping. I decided not to use main-lining this time as I don't want to spend so much time vegging the plants and I'm curios trying some different techniques as it's just the second time I'm doing HST. All I want to achieve is a nice bushy plant structure with plenty main colas with a decent height. That being said I will leave the girls in vegetative stage for a week or two.✊ I'm not following anyone's advice but using my own feeling and hopefully I'm doing it right😀 Nutrients schedule remains the same as the previously used, as always keeping pH at 5.8 Otherwise nothing special to report. Overall all the plants are healthy and looking really good. Can't wait them to get some height now 😁 Last but not least, thanks for stopping by, be really happy for any comment and I'll leave you to your own growth.🙌👊

ReinDeer Decided to post a week earlier as I had a chance to make some natural-light photos in the early morning on the balcony in a company of other flowers 😊 Actually nothing exceptional to report. I raised the quantity of nutrients as the ladies are getting bigger and bigger and I believe they almost used the fertilizers that are preadded in the coco mix. I'm really happy how healthy and strong they look so there is nothing to be changed so far. I hope thy will gain some height this week too but I expect them to scratch even more when I'll switch the light schedule to flowering. I might wait for a week or so. I'm not in a hurry, so lets see how the grow is advancing. I haven't done any defoliation just trained them a little then and now to achieve a nice distribution of colas. Thanks again growmies for stopping by. Appreciate your comments, suggestions and see you around.😁 Have a great grow 🙌💪

ReinDeer Plants have been growing nicely this week and they're bushier every day. They're almost ready for flowering. I'll leave the 18/6 cycle for few days so that girls will recover from a defoliation that I did today. Overall they're very healthy, I'm a little concerned from the fact that I'm growing four different strains and already two plants are much bigger and possibly the difference will get bigger when I'll switch to 12/12. Anyways it will be fun for sure😜 Took advantage of the weather today put the plants outside the tent to give them some nice sunlight for a photo session and fed the cats with leaves😁 Thanks everybody for stopping by, feel free to comment. Have a nice week and a healthy grow 💪

ReinDeer I opened a tent today and the smell coming out is already noticeable 😍 I reprogrammed the power time program to 12/12 which means that my plants are now exposed to light and darkness in equally. After 5 days I can tell the difference. the girls started to scratch and they're also showing their sex now 😋 It's amazing. Hopefully they'll get some of their height. Usually that would present a potential issue but with a new grow tent I have plenty of vertical space and I want them really to become a proper trees 💪 For sure they'll need a proper defoliation again in a three weeks time as they're extremely bushy. Other than that nothing special going on. Overall health is at the top level. I've added a very cheap passive dehumidifier in the tend that works with some kind of tablets that have to be changed every few days just to have a control over a high humidity. Also, I've got three inexpensive temperature/humidity meter in a small package that will be used in the future to control humidity level after curing. The last thing was to activate the red spectrum lights on both Bestvas and put a dimmer level on the MGRO 100+ to a max. I won't be doing any defoliation to the plants in the next week as I want the bud spots to start developing and prevent any potential damage😁 Thanks everybody for stopping bye, feel free to comment and have a great grow!

ReinDeer The growth this week has been outstanding as I hoped it would be. All the plants have stretched a lot and you can see the typical growth of an early flowering garden. As much as I don't want weed plant to become too tall I still hope they'll gain few tents of centimetres. I war reading a lot this time about defoliating and decide to make a major defoliation after 2nd or maybe 3rd week of flowering. It will much depend on how fast the flowers will be developing. So far everything is good, I'm keeping good growth conditions. I wish the humidity was lower but it's just ok. Temperature is around 24 in during the days and around 20 at night. I raised a dosage of CANNA Boost to promote flowering already at early stage. I spotted few dark at the tips at the beginning of the week 8 so I watered them with pure water at 5.8 pH and it seems it worked perfectly. Unfortunately photos this time are not the best as I didn't have time during the day and made a photo shooting today in the tent. But you can get a feeling how the ladies are doing.🙌 Last but not least.. Have a great growth, thanks for all the comments and likes.😄 See you around 😉

ReinDeer Girls are still stretching and flowers are forming beautifully 😀 Nothing special to report this week. I've been watering this week with higher nutrients rate and added a good amount of Boost Accelerator to promote flowering at the early stage. I'm really satisfied with the growth o far and it seems girls really appreciate the love they're give too!😍 I was thinking to give the a really intense defoliation next week but I want them to develop flowers before doing so. Smell is slowly coming alive but it's too early to define the specific aroma. Thanks everybody for stopping by. Feel free to give likes and comments. Last but not least, enjoy your grow!👌😎

ReinDeer I was week for the whole week and it was quite tough for me to take a good care of my plants. I was not strong enough to water them as often as I should but somehow they've made it through the worse days 😀 The buds spots are getting fatter now and I can feel the aroma of the strain. However it's just a little too early to guess the strain. The genetics are amazing and I'm so happy how they're growing. Also I can already notice the difference this grow as a new MIGRO light producing and hitting out additional dosage of photons😎 Cannot be sure at this point but my guts tell me the buds are going to be really full this time, so excited 👌😂. Made quite intense defoliation and removed all huge leaves that were covering bud spots which is something I haven't done before in such scale.😏 Other than that I pretty much love the whole growth and I'm looking forward it stays like that. Last but not least, thank you very much for stopping by, all your likes and comments and have a happy gardening with your plants too!🙌

ReinDeer Defoliation Technique Here we are again with a new weekly report. Not much was going on this week, buds are fattening up really nicely and the smell is gettting more and more intense. I've also started adding Pk 13/14 to accelerate the bud growth just a bit more 😀 If Is see some leaves covering lower buds i just cut down few fan leaves but nothing extremme this week, Other than that everything's going as planned. I believe the girsl neeed at least 3 weeks or more before I'll start thinking of chopping them down 😋 The only thing left now is being patient, taking care not to make any mistake with over dosing the laides and that's pretty much it. Last but not least, thanks for stopping by, commenting this week and have a healthy growing 😁

ReinDeer Hi guyz, I haven't been updating my diary for some time as I was quite busy and it became complicate to make photos out of the tent as the smell is too intense and with that comes the risk for neighbors to become suspicious 😀 Anyway, the girls are developing nicely and smelling really nice. Nothing special to report this time. The buds are swelling nicely, have some problems with a high humidity and the weather doesn't help but nothing to serious 😋 Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!😉

ReinDeer Here we are again and a new weeks report. Unfortunately this week is hugely impacted by Corona virus and the high spread has brought uncertainty to what is coming in the following weeks. But lets point out a brighter side and how my growth has been lately. Actually, nothing special has been going on, the weather was beautiful lately so I had a chance to put my plants on the balcony and made some beautiful photos. The girls are now mature and the smell coming out of a tent when opened is fantastic. A mixture of four different strain puts a smile on your face. Buds have fattened up and I can see a difference in this growth as I added a MIGRO 100+ light. The buds are much more compact and dense and filled in trichomes . I'm not sure how long I'l leave them maturing until their end. For sure I'll be giving them nutrients for 2 more weeks and see then how they're developing. I'm really impressed with the plants and photos show this. Last but not least, be safe, stay healthy and wish everybody a happy growing! 😀 See you around!

ReinDeer Hi guzy, hope you're still safe and healthy. This week came over pretty fast and the girls are doing fine and now the smell is really sweet. I decided to start flushing them and I'll be doing that for another week. After that I'll chop them for which I'm really excited. For flushing I'm giving them a pure water controlled to pH 5.8. Next week I'll add a Flawless finish to it. Other than that nothing special to report. The colors of the plants are coming out nicely and hope the photos show that. Thanks for all the likes and comments, see you around 😀

ReinDeer Hi guyz, this week I've been flushing the girls with plain pH 5.8 water with an addition of Flawless finish. Love the girls and after a week I decided to harvest them😍 Can't wait for it. Other than that nothing special to report. I've really enjoyed a new bigger tent and MIGRO light. My girlfriend decided to buy me another one for a birthday present 😄 So excited😜 Hope you're healthy, please stay at home and have a great time. See you around, I'll be checking your diaries too! 👌

ReinDeer The growth was predictable, she produced large main colas that stretched quite a lot during a preflowering stage. Buds were not as big as I expected them to be but I'll give her a try again!
