FastBuds - FFT#11

12/21: I am looking very forward to trying these fast flowering photo testers from Fastbuds. Their autos are top-notch, so I've got high hopes! 12/23: I pre-soaked 2 of these beans in humic acid and concentrated mycorrhizae with trichoderma for about a minute and planted them in rapid rooters soaked with a weaker solution of the same. They both popped up about 20 hours later. I'll let them root well under the dome and transplant into some temporary seedling pots with Fox Farms Light Warrior soil mix after dusting their roots with myco. I'll let them veg for a week under some cooler color temperatures to try and encourage shorter distances between internodes, then move them into my closet under max "sun." 12/24: One of my #9's practically climbed out of it's rooter. I tried to reposition it in a rooter, but not so sure she's gonna make it...so I got another #11 bean wet today. Worse case scenario is that I end up with 12 total plants... 12/26: No sign of the 3rd one yet...just as well, looks like the 3rd #9 will actually make it after all. The first 2 were ready to transplant last night, but I was worn out and put it off until today. Both seedlings were rooted very well, so I planted them in some new, durable, 5.6" tall seedling starters. filled with Fox Farms Light Warrior seed starting soil mix, which has mycorrhizae and humic acids, plus earthworm castings. It's a very light mix. I really like it alot. It has a lot of coco coir pith and peat in it, so even when you pre-soak it, it seems very light. I am now using a killer product that contains: 7 ENDOMYCORRHIZAL Species, 17 BENEFICIAL BACTERIA Strains, 4 TRICHODERMA Species, SEA KELP EXTRACT, HUMIC ACIDS, YUCCA PLANT EXTRACT, Root Promoting VITAMINS with Vitamin B Complex and L-AMINO ACIDS (https://www.amazon.com/GreenEden-EndoBoost-Concentrated-Soluble-Mycorrhizal/dp/B07GSPVQ83/ref=sr_1_15?crid=3G7AW86ZVOF68&keywords=endo+mycorrhizae+powder&qid=1577435831&sprefix=endomy%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-15) No, I am not a paid spokesman, but I used it in my last grow and had amazing roots, so I used it again and had 100% germination rate when mixed with concentrated humic acid for a 1-minute seed soak and rapid rooter pre-soak. Needless to say, I used it again today to dust my new seedling's roots and the holes where they were planted. I also like to add a teaspoon of it to my 5-gallon batches of compost tea, about 2 hours before I'm finished brewing it. The price is about the same, but I had far better results with it than the hyped-up "king shark" stuff... I have them 24" below the 200w 3500k +660nm light for about 12 hours per day, and the 24w cold white panel with the 85w mixed white spectra light at about 15" for the other half of the day. Both of the 12w blue bulbs are hanging very close to both ends of the tray and lit all day long.

12/31: The first two are both coming along nicely, and the reserve/alternate seedling is catching up. 👍 Today was the first day in which I fed them some Big Bloom and Boomerang along with humic acid, pH'd to 6.1. 1/3: I've been letting them dry out a bit for the last two days. They've got roots coming out the bottoms now...I'll probably transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots tomorrow or the next day. I ordered a 4' 180w tube light with 578 LEDs..it has a 360 degree beam with 3000k and a bunch of 660nm. It's waterproof, so no worries about keeping it beneath my canopy to illuminate the lower branches and hopefully increase the density of those buds that never get much top-lighting. Today, I mounted my two new 24w UVA LED lights (395-405nm) to my frame. I'll run them 6 hours a day from the time I put the plants into my closet, until harvest. It is my understanding that exposure to UVA, particularly during the vegetative stage, triggers many different plant defense hormones, which speed growth and can increase heartiness to withstand constant exposure to UVB without suffering as much cellular damage as usual. I'm also ordering a 2' Solacure FlowerPower UVB (285nm-310nm) next week to use during flowering to stress the plants and increase trichome production. 1/4: I did a few foliar feedings with big bloom and fulvic acid today. 1/5: Transplanting day. I dusted their roots with magic dust and transplant them into 5 gallon pots today. I had some excellent compost with biochar and myco that I mixed into their soil, too. I watered them in with about 2 quarts of their first taste of full strength veg nutes, plus mycorrhizal fungi, trichoderma, beneficial bacteria, and humic acid, then I sprayed them with biotabs boomboom spray when finished. The were moved into the closet under the quantum boards, UVA's, and a pair of MiracleLED blue bulbs. I'll start adding far-red spectra to the equation in the next few days.

1/6: Day 15. I've got a lot of airflow in the closet (and 780w of light), and as a result, they needed water today. I had shit come up and didn't transplant them quick enough from the Light Warrior mix, so they got a little N deficient. I decided to go ahead and feed them. I mixed up 4 gallons of full strength nutes and split it amongst these two and the other 9 plants, so that's roughly 1/3 gallon each...I used my new 40-133gph submersible pump dialed all the way down, and a 1/4" hose, so it took about 2 minutes to water each plant...a slow, gentle soaking with zero run-off.👍 I also cranked up my evaporative cooler in the top of the closet, aimed down over the plants. 1/7: I sprayed them with Axiom - Harpin a|b proteins...just one of reasons my Gung Fu so good...😁 1/8: I watered them today with about a half gallon each, containing endo boost, humic acid, cal-mag, armor si, and a little bit of boomerang. I opened up the closet and left the room for just a few minutes and returned to find horrendous signs of pestilence on my best #11...of the voracious feline variety... roughly 40% of the plant was eaten before I discovered it...that's gonna definitely affect her photosynthetic rate...😖 1/9: The one that was devoured by my cat looks way better today, but has a few more days to fully recover I think. 1/11: I fed them with about a half-gallon each..full strength everything. 1/12: I FIM'ed all three and sprayed with Boom Boom Spray afterwards, right before dark. This is the end of week 3, and they've made good enough progress that I'm pretty sure I'll start flowering them towards the end of next week.

1/14: All 3 are looking great! This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 days🙏 ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more days🙏😟..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters 10:00am -12:00am timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars 10am - 3pm 7pm - 11pm sideB- flowerpower uvb 1pm - 1:15pm 4pm - 4:15pm 7pm - 7:15pm 11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks 11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube 10am - 1pm 3pm - 6pm 8pm - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.👌 1/19: Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiencies here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. That's it for week 4-

1/21: I rotated the edge plants and foliar fed with big bloom a few times today. 1/22: I fed them about 3/4 gallon each after top-dressing their pots with a heaping tablespoon of happy frog cavern culture( bat and seabird guano). That will make some P and K available to them over the next 2 weeks as they begin to flower. Aside from that, I went with full strength veg nutes because I'm still seeing some yellowing and som cal-mag deficiencies. I also added some more liquid molasses. They're gonna need the energy as they start their stretch. I foliar fed a few times throughout the day with big bloom. 1/23: EXPLOSIVE GROWTH last night...love it...everybody is stretching...pretty sure the 14/10 photoperiod is working!! I foliar fed with big bloom a few times today. 1/24: These girls all look to be very indica in leaf shape and are outpacing everything else in the garden. 1/25: I tied down the main of the tallest one today, then watered with about a half-gallon each including cal-mag, humic acid, bembe, armor si, and signal. 1/26: Damnit these bitches are gonna be a pain in my ass. They are growing so much faster than all the other plants., and if everybody else doesn't catch up in the next couple of days, I'll have no choice but to supercrop all their branches. 1/27: That's it for week 5-

1/28: DId a little LST and rotated edge plants. 1/29: DId a little photo session and fed them about 3/4 gallon each. I backed off the veg nutes a bit and added Tiger Bloom and Open Sesame to the regimen. Tied down a few branches to further encourage lower branch growth. 1/30: Raised my lights today about 4 inches...mainly because of these bitches. I don't have enough space to train them outwards, and I am holding off supercropping them until I have no other options. 1/31: My canopy is getting thick, so I started running the 180w tube light below the canopy today. It's on a timer, set to run a total of 10 hours per day, in 2-hour intervals. 2/1: I pulled everybody out of the closet this morning and thoroughly sprayed down all the foliage with BoomBoom Spray, tops and bottoms of leaves. I let them dry slowly under low watt lights with no airflow. I raised the lights again another couple of inches. I have just a couple of vertical inches left before I'll have to either supercrop these girls or do some minor construction in the closet. I'm leaning towards modifying the closet to allow another foot of ceiling space for the girls.

2/4: Photo session day! These are the fastest, most vigorously growing plants in the garden, but also the slowest to flower.😕 I had a total infestation of Cattus (felis) which I documented in my photos. Eradication seems impossible, so I'm opting to allow a degree of predation, but hoping trichome production will, at least, deter them soon.😁 2/5: I fed everybody today with about 3/4 gallon and sprayed them down with Axiom harpin proteins for the last time this run. I made a DIY CO2 generator today using a 5 gallon cat litter bucket, a small aquarium pump, some air line tubing, and a bubble stone, plus 6 cups of sugar and 30 grams of wine yeast in 2 gallons of warm water. I put the tube where the CO2 is exhausted up against the back of the oscillating fan that aims down over the plants so they are being constantly forcefully bombarded with high levels of CO2(1300+ppm) from above. I set the ac infinity controller to allow the temps to climb up to 89f before the fan turns on. 2/6: These girls are taller than anybody else in the garden, and still stretching (unfortunately). Surprisingly, they're also the slowest to pop pistils. They are flowering, but slow as hell for an indica dominant strain. I probably should have left them all in the dark for a full day when I switched to flower to encourage them to flip faster. I bought some Gro-Pro pot risers to elevate the pots so that they will dry out faster..seem pretty effective. 2/7: I foliar fed with big bloom and tiger bloom today. 2/8: I ordered a second 6" AC Infinity fan to connect to my controller, some ducting, and a diffuser which I'll mount to the wall, down near the floor. The fan unit will be in another closet, adjacent to the garden closet, and I'll run ducting up through that closet ceiling into the attic, with a filter on the end to keep bugs and particulates out. For the next 6 weeks or so, it will provide a supply of colder fresh air. I did the math, and it will now only take about 1 minute and 40 seconds to completely exchange the air in the closet. Depending on the outside air temp at the time, it should take anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes for the closet to heat back up to 80f and the fans to kick back on again. This Spring, on days when it's not cooler than 72f, I'll disconnect the duct in the closet and stretch it into that bedroom, clipped to the window unit air conditioner output, cranked down as low as it will go. This Summer, I'm gonna just run a pair of the quantum boards and grow 4 or 5 autos in there, but this should help keep the temps cooler in summer as well, without dedicating an air conditioner to the grow op.🙏 2/9: I foliar fed them with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and checked moisture in their pots. They're due for a good watering tomorrow.

2/10: I watered today with about 3/4 gallon each, plus cal-mag, signal, bembe, armor si, a little open sesame, and their final dose of endoboost. These bitches won't stop stretching, and my choices are few...either I supercrop about 30 colas to keep them to at least 12" from the lights(already too close really), or I do the construction project that I've been dreading. It's really not that difficult a job to add some 1 x 2's and move the supporting "rafters" with eye hooks up another foot, and lose the space necessary to keep my evap cooler and/or dehumidifier...it's taking out all those freshly watered plants to be able to do it....maybe they wont have stretched anymore come morning and I can just watch for signs of light damage. I'm leaning towards the construction project, as it will be a challenge to find space for that many horizontally-oriented tops, and they'd be so much less photogenic if I did.😀 2/11: Wife home sick today....postponing construction project to raise the lights....kinda scary....about 10" from the tops now.. 2/12: I woke up to find these bitches stretched another few inches and they were within 7 inches of the lights!!! I quickly drug everybody out of the closet and undertook the project. In addition to that project, I installed and hooked up my new AC Infinity 6" intake fan. It's pulling in fresh air from the soffit vent on the eave of the attic, and currently feeding the garden with 46f fresh air. I'm able to easily maintain daytime temps in the lower 70f's now. I am able to drive the nighttime temps as low as I want. The only issue is that the outdoor RH varies quite a bit, so I ordered a 30-pint dehumidifier to put in the top of the closet. I sprayed everybody with boomboom spray to try and mitigate the light burn damage that is likely to ensue. 2/13: They are still stretching!!! Damnit...they are now 12" from the lights again. I will wait to raise the lights until tomorrow when I feed them. 2/14: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, cal-mag, signal, bembe, humic acid, and I switched over from Open Sesame to Beastie Bloomz. Raised the lights another couple of inches. I did some training on them, defo'd a little bit, and had to lasso the biggest one.. she was trying to take up too much space. 2/15: Installed the new dehumidifier and rigged the continuous drain on it...works great. 2/16: I rotated the edge plants and removed some old leaves. I added another 22w 3000k 4' bar light under the canopy. 2/17: I rearranged the garden and defoliated a little bit. That's it for week 8-

2/17: I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!👈 2/18: I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz. The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a coupe of days. I've reached the ceiling again with my lights and all three are still stretching. I've either tied down or supercropped all the branches on the two taller ones at this point. 2/19: Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.👍 2/20: Day 31 of flower...they grew another couple of inches overnight! Damnit!😟 After emptying the closet (again) today and supercropping more branches (and some of the same branches again), a semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches! Now I'm truly maxxed out... Word to the wise..you get the idea from the 49-day estimate that FF#11, being Indica-dominant, will be short/squatty/fast, but I can say that this strain, if well fed and illuminated, consistently produces absolute monsters...slow to flower.. 300%+ stretch from whenever you start flowering them. I really needed everybody to finish in the same week so I could get my Spring autos going...😶 I'm still hoping that they will get their groove-on and finish by the EHD(3/11), but it's not looking possible at this point... They're likely to be the heaviest producers in the garden, so that's pretty good consolation I suppose. I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day. 2/21: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time. 2/22: MONSTERS..they're such a pain in the ass, but I do love them so! During veg, they were pretty dark green, but they've lightened up quite a bit. They are still the slowest to flower, but they're stacking up nodes really nicely.👍 2/23: I ordered some Terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..😕 That's it for week 9-

2/24: Busy day, no time for gardening.. 2/25: I watered them today with about a half-gallon each including terpinator, signal, bembe, cal-mag, armor si, beastie bloomz, and a little bit of boomerang for the organic sources of nitrogen (kelp and earthworm castings). 2/26: RH is holding at 40-45% during the day and 35-38% at night. Temps are about 78-80f during the day and about 62-65f at night. The big bitch is sprawling all over the place, so I used another 4 stakes to try to restrain her. Both the really big one and the really pale ones are starting to bud up pretty well now. The smaller one is trucking right along.. 2/27: The garden has gotten so dense that the cool air at the bottom isn't circulating up to the canopy well enough. Temperatures on the floor are low 60'sf and about 80f at the canopy. That's not bad or anything, but over the next couple of weeks, I want to drive down the temperatures as much as possible. I'm achieving 30% RH now, two days after watering...pretty cool. I can't check the moisture level on the plants at the back of the garden without removing a bunch of others, but I'm assuming they aren't dry yet because of the airflow situation. I ordered a double 9" fan like you put in a window to circulate in or out fresh air. I'll put it under the bench that I'm using to elevate the two shortest plants at the back of the closet, facing the front of the closet and pointing slightly upwards. Hopefully this increases airflow across the pots, and moves more of the cool air up to the canopy. 2/28: The new fan came in and was taller than I thought when situated in it's feet, so I just placed it atop my lighting frame facing down into the back of the garden. Each of it's two fans are mostly unobstructed, and the little bit that is obstructed is across two of the heatsinks, so that's fine with me. I'll have to find a diff fan for under the shortie platform. 2/29: I fed everybody today with about a half-gallon each including a little grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, beastie bloomz, terpinator, bembe, signal, cal-mag, and armor si. I didn't have time to take glamour shots of anybody, but took a few random photos while feeding them. 3/1: Just ogled them today...they are really reeking now...so many delightful aromas spilling out of the closet...👍

3/3: I watered them today with about 1/2 gallon each, including cal-mag, armor si, bembe, terpinator, signal, and a little beastie bloomz. Short on time, so I couldn't do many glamour shots..I'll try again when I feed in a few days. Seeing some UVB damage on the tallest 2 of these plants, but they'll have to get used to it...they are just toooo tall for my garden and their pale green leaves make them more susceptible to burns, like a fair-skinned redhead at the beach in the middle of summer...😎 3/4: My new 14,000btu portable a/c was delivered today. I'm replacing the window unit in the bedroom where my closet is located with it so that I can roll it over to the closet and chill the girls out really well for the next couple of weeks. I can aim it at the door and just leave it cracked open and it's keeping the temps at about 75f during the day, just running on low.👌 I'm just hanging a piece of mylar over the door to keep the light in and have the exhaust set on "8" and to come on when temps exceed 75f, so it's pretty stable now. At night, I'm disconnecting the exhaust fan once it gets down to 60f and only have the intake fan pulling cold air in from outside if the temp exceeds 62f. I've determined that I'm gonna have to get another AC infinity fan controller at some point. I hate having to remember to unplug a fan and change the settings at night. I forgot to switch things this morning before I crashed, and was awakened at noon-thirty by the sound of the ac infinity high temp alarm going off...I had it set on 90f!!! If I had a separate controller for the intake, I could really dial it in and not have to remember to change settings... 3/5: I finally found a seller of BioTabs BoomBoom Spray (in Great Britain) that sells to and ships to the US for not-such-ridiculous-prices!! I ordered a 250ml bottle so I won't run out for a while! I'm almost out of Bembe and I've heard good things about Humboldt's Secret Sweet & Sticky, so I ordered a quart to give a try. 3/6: I fed them about a half-gallon of pretty much everything today. Again, I didn't have time for a full-fledged photo session, but I added a backdrop and photography lighting equipment to my cart at amazon...will pull the trigger on it soon! 3/7: Fixed up a new batch yeast and sugar for my diy CO2 generator. 3/8: Beautiful weather today, so I spent the afternoon getting ready for the spring grows (indoors and out) That's it for week 11-

3/10: I sprinkled a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture on the tops of their pots and watered it in with about a half-gallon of water including armor si, terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, and cal-mag. The shortie is stinking badly now! I finally had time to take some photos today- 3/11: Tonight, I plan to decrease their photoperiod down to 12/12 to hopefully get the slowpokes in the garden to hurry the fuck up... 3/12: They slept for 12 hours last night... 3/13: Very rainy...RH is too high! 3/14: I fed them each about 1/2 gallon today including big bloom, tiger bloom, terpinator, cal-mag, armor si, signal, sweet & sticky, and started them on cha ching. I defoliated about 5 pounds of leaves and the canopy is still almost impenetrable. Will do more when I take them out to water this week. Still raining, RH is too high!! I put the dehumidifier on "always on/clothes drying" mode and it's barely able to keep it at 50% in the closet.. 3/15: Still raining...RH is too high, damnit!!!

3/16: Rain let up for half the day, but more tonight...damnit... They are due for a watering tomorrow, but with the high RH, maybe not... 3/17: They weren't ready for water yet, so I slept for a few bonus hours! (rare) All three of these plants are progressing nicely. Fattening up and smelling wonderful! It rained for most for the day....again...😣 3/18: I watered them with about 1/2 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, endoboost, humic acid, and a little cha ching. It rained all night again..and most of the day today. I took some photos with the qb's turned off and a 135w 5500k CFL on.. 3/19: It rained all night and several times again today...ffs....I've started building an Ark in my free time 😁 3/20: Rained again on and off today..RH still too high... 3/21: Rained again tonight.. I had to pick up a couple of them while removing a couple of other plants, and they are still heavy. I might be able to wait until Monday to feed again, which might be enough time for me to get the RH back down a little bit. All three of these plants got too tall for my space and are really showing signs of light burn..mainly from the UVB I think. They were already pretty pale, so they burned easy....but those buds are dense and stinky! 3/22: Rained again last night several times...and again today for a couple hours...ridiculous. Woke up with RH at 65%!!! Been chatting with other FFT growers and they all seem to be losing a lot of produce to botrytis...I'm starting to freak out..😳

3/23: The pistils on all three of these plants suddenly withered, and upon inspection, I see that they're almost ripe.👍 I let them go totally dry this time and fed them with about 3/4 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, cha ching, tiger bloom, big bloom, and humic acid. This was probably the last time they'll get any nutes, but I may water them once more with sweet & sticky and terpinator. 3/27: I mixed up water with sweeteners and terpene enhancers and cal-mag, then pulled everybody out of the closet...lo and behold, all 3 of these plants were ready to flush! I can't find my 20x macro lens for my phone, so I'm using my mini-microscope until I can get another mobile device lens kit from Amazon. All three had about 80% cloudy and 10% amber trichs. so I put about 12 gallons of filtered water with Sledgehammer through each one. Lovely buds, and many of them, but I sure hope they swell up some more!👈 3/29: I added a few more MicracleLED blue (450nm-470nm) bubs around the garden. topped raining for a day and my RH is back down to lower 40%'s. Shortie will go into a dark room tomorrow and her big sister will get fed.

3/30: All three plants are in the dark until tomorrow. I'll take some photos and harvest from them, but leave some lower branches and foliage and take them outdoors to regenerate. I was gonna flush them twice, but time constraints prevented that because I started soaking seeds for my indoor and outdoor Spring grows last night and they'll need the closet soon. I did put about 12 gallons through each of them with Sledgehammer, so hopefully that did the trick. 4/1: I harvested from 2 of these plants this morning along with another couple of plants, and had to leave the other one in the dark til tomorrow. I took some photos, hacked them up, washed their buds and hung them to drip dry over the tub. I left enough lower growth to take them outdoors to regenerate. 4/1: Later that day, after a brief nap, I harvested the other one.

4/6: These buds are so dense and it's been raining a lot, so it is taking forever to dry them. 4/7: After a night in a closet with the dehumidifier running full blast, they were ready to weigh... Plant 1- 220g Plant 2 - 233g Plant 3 - 188g This variety stretches about 500%-600% from the time you switch their photoperiod, so keep that in mind if you have limited ceiling space. They were the most vigorous, sexy plants in the garden for a long time, but because they have a lot of Sativa in their profile, the internodal spacing was a little much at time, though they did manage to close up well and produce nearly 30 x 10-12" colas in total, plus a lot of popcorn and larfy buds. They are too tall for my outdoor space, too, but I regenerated all three anyway and will endeavor to train them horizontally this summer. They naturally have pale green leaves..not a nutrient deficiency, which contrast really well with the deep deep red the colas become near the end. Very photogenic. Their height (despite FIMing, and supercropping almost every one of their branches) was a problem and I couldn't keep them more than about a foot from the lights....their pale green leaves make them a little more sensitive to light, (especially UVB), so that was a problem for me to deal with for a couple of months...but i think it turned out pretty well despite the challenges. I haven't sampled it yet, but stay tuned for my comments on taste, aroma, bag appeal, etc..along with some bud photos! 7/12: I forgot to update this diary... I've been smoking on this stuff, making cannabutter, and pressing it for rosin. The rosin is a very light, honey color, and tastes great...even better than the bud. I'm squishing it at 182f for 4 minutes. I can get a better yield at 200f, but it's not as translucent and honey-colored as at lower temps. Potency: 9/10 Yield: 10/10 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 7/10 Bud density: 9/10 Bag-appeal: 9/10 Consistency: 10/10 Final thoughts: This was absolutely the most consistent of the FFT's I grew initially. Same growth characteristics, same aromas, same flavors, same arm-sized colas.👍 Awesome yielder with a very uplifting buzz.💪😁
