Week one went smooth. 100% germination and both have grown rapidly. Not a lot to talk about early on. But over all they are performing well.
Added Elite Nutes to the watering. At the rate they’re growing it is needed.
We are a few days into week 3. Topped both girls today. Will begin LST later tonight or tomorrow. Looking great so far. The lower nodes have already stretched to the top of the plant do training will be super easy.
Went ahead and did some LST on plant one. It was ready. I only had to remove 2 fan leaves so I hope she doesn’t stress to much. Excited to see how she does!
LST on plant #2 on day 15. Plant #1 looks great 24hrs after being topped and trained.
Week four started nicely. Did some trimming and tucking to get light to all the potential bud sights. Both plants are doing really well and I have a decently strong skunky smell when I open the tent. Both plants also have several calyx sight fully open and growing more. Next week will be in flower I’m sure.
Week 5 in full swing and these girls are in flower! I had a little accident and dropped a fan on plant #2 and cut half of it off. Sucks but the other side is fine. Looking like I could see some nice size buds with this one and the smell is already amazing. I also added Roots Organics uprising dry amendments to the coco as a top dressing. I eventually want to swap to dry amendments. I’ve heard really good things about Gaia Green. Any thoughts on that anyone?
Update: it’s about halfway through week 5 and guys I decided to upgrade my lights to a Spider Farmer SF2000. Right away I can see a huge difference. Really excited to see how it does. I always grown under generic lights. Had really good results so I can only hope this ups my game a little bit.
Rolled through week 5 with no real issues. Had really good growth. Excited to see these flowers grow over the next 4 weeks or so. The new light has made all the difference. Should have done that sooner lol
Into week 7. Everything is looking as it should. Healthy looking plants. They are stacking up nicely and the trichone production has begun. On the down slope now!
****Updated
Start of week 8. Not long to go now. The second plant, smaller of the two, looks to be a couple weeks or shorter from finishing. The larger plant isn’t far behind. This grow has gone by super fast it seems like.
I am using Elite Nutrients this grow. I followed their app basically. A tad lighter in the first couple of weeks though. I’ve noticed you go from 0 to 60 real quick with autos. Almost messed me up early on. Found out the hard way I need to use about half of what it recommends with these autos.
I had some nute burn going on. That’s the cause of the leave getting brown up top. But as pointed out it was strange to be mainly up top. I have stopped nutes and I am giving them Bushdoctors boomerang for now. Will start back a light feeding schedule in a day or so.
The trichone production has been decent. Not as much as the Zkittles Auto but still good looking flowers.
That’s it for now. It gets exciting for me from this point forward. Well it’s all exciting but more so at the end I guess. Peace out!
I always get nervous when the leaves start to change. So my question is, this is natural right? I would guess they are a couple weeks away from finishing?
Yes colours changing during flowering is natural, your healthy green will turn into a pale one before the yellowing but it's normal as the plant use more PK than N in late flowering.
I can see some yellowing leaves but it's pretty normal and they won't recover. I can also see that some leaves are burnt but you mentioned a ph/nuts issue so I guess it's dur to that
Week 8 is done. It was challenging to say the least. Well maybe some overreacting involved!
I over fed them in week 7 which showed up at the beginning of week 8. Have several areas of the plant become discolored and reddish brown in some areas. Nutrient burn basically.
So during week 8 I alternated between Bushdoctors Boomerang and plane water for the whole week. I’m adding nutrient back this week.
I really don’t see this one going much longer. The pistols on the smaller plant have mostly turned orange and are curling in. But when I look at the trichones through my ecoplus 30x microscope they’re still a lot of clear ones and not much amber at all.
I’ll keep a check on the trichs this week and see how they change. This one should be close according to Fastbuds description of this strain. But we’ll see.
I’ve made it to week 10! Week 9 had zero issues. Confined light feedings throughout the week.
The trichones are nice and cloudy. Not so much amber yet. I’ll start flush with Bushdoctors Sledgehammer this week.
Once the leaves have leached out I will cut them down!
Should be a decent yield. The buds are super frosty and smell awesome. They should fatten up and get a little more frosty over the next week.
All for now. Hopefully the next update will be chopping them down! Happy Growing friends!
Mid week update. I went ahead and chopped plant 2. She sure had some crazy colors hid under those frosty trichones. My guess is she will be around 2 ounces. Isn’t bad for half a plant. For those that didn’t see or just found this diary I dropped a fan on this plant and broke half of it off.
Last day of week 10 update. The plant I accidentally cut in half had a total of 28.5 grams of dried weight. Not bad for half a plant I guess.
What can I say, Fast Buds always deliver. Smooth ride the whole way. Had very few issues this at all.
I occasionally let my ph get out of line and under fed early. Then I over fed late. Despite all that both plants did extremely well. Both plants grew large dense buds. The smell is stinky!
This was one of the easiest strain I’ve grown to date. Fast Buds always deliver. I got 28 grams of dried weight off the small plant. I am waiting in the larger plant to dry now. I will update in a few days with final weight and thoughts.
Final weight I’d ghe 2 plants was 93 grams. I’m okay with that. Still not to my goal weight per plant yet but getting better.
The flower has a really pungent skunky earthy smell. Very loud as they say lol.
Smokes really well with a nice full body high. I will definitely grow this I’ve agian.
