Dropped seeds into some ro water and a touch of Rhizo while the rapid rooters soak for 12 hours
Update: broke ground on day 2 and today they were all the way up they are chillin in the humidity dome under a 60w cfl and there is an led off to the side as it is in the 5x5 with the lsd BlackBerry and green crack
They sprouted 3 days ago and also popped 1 more 2 days ago that is gunna get transplanted tmm. Had 100% germ rate again this run using all fastbuds strains.
Disregard the week, it's day 20 (12/18/17-1/7/18) except for #3 I think it's day 16 for that one. Everything is smooth woth blumat in place, still nervous there will be salt buildup cuz I'm used to having run off but I'm gunna let it ride and see what happens.
Transplanted 2 into 5 gal smart pots and will wait a little longer for the 3rd.
#1 was topped at 3rd node
#2 was left alone
#3 was topped at 3rd node and is set up for mainline.
Never tried mainlining before and didn't really plan on it, I topped it at first then said fuck it lets give it a go.
Built a new light using horticulture lighting group quantum boards which the 2 big ones are now under as well as some others. The light is incredible it covers a 4x4 flower tent no problem and will be building another soon. It's also very easy to build and cost half the price as the pre built HLG 550. If anyone has any questions on how to build their own fixture i would be happy to help although I'm no expert it's pretty straight forward. This round has been a struggle trying to dial in the drip system . Right when I get shit dialed it clogs or leaks it's kind of a nightmare considering it was supposed to make things easier for me. Maybe I need to use thinner liquefied nutes or maybe the blumats are just shite.
Day 63
These are frosty and growing well, the mainline one is further behind and small, my fault I didn't maintain it well enough to pull off a proper mainline. Can't ID the smell yet but they are swelling up nicely. The blumats actually suck. Really they suck indoors either doesn't get the plant enough water or it floods the tent. Think in bout autopots...
Taken On Day 63, miscalculated last week they were started 12/18/17. Fat buds on the two big ones and real sticky, can't make out the smell yet but it's pretty strong at this point. Added some tnbnaturals co2 today idk how well it works but I figured I would try it out. Mainline one is a week or so behind in terms of maturity but is getting fed whatever is in the res it's hooked up to. Flushed all 3 due to salt build up early in the week which is why the tips are burnt and some calmag deficiency and yellowing. 1-2 more weeks I think.
Fat buds all over for everyone
Little one is still eatin other 2 are on the flush
Still don't know about the smell it's kind of earthy and pungent with a mint or menthol kick it's nice and strong. The second one is my favorite just bc the main cola is wide as a 2 liter soda bottle at least. The finished up quicker than I expected one day I just noticed all the hairs were orange. Will be chopping next week
Chopped the first one on 3.9.18 The second just got it's last flush yesterday. The buds on both are huge reminiscent of stardawg to me. The smell varied a bit from skunky and chem like to piney and pungent. Frost level is a 9.7/10. Finished up around 80 days from seed but could have had the first ready around 75 days or less if I flushed sooner. The grow had some speedbumps with the shit drip system so I'd like to run this and the cc back again. Looking forward to finding out the lineage of them they were easy to grow. Still have the main lined one as well and it is doing pretty amazing will update pics asap.
2 have been chopped, 1 just finished drying yesterday and the 2nd has another 6 or 7 days. The main lined one is on the flush. I'll wait to do the harvest update when the 2nd one is done and then I'll add the 3rd in after since it will be a little bit. Put 1 nug pic at the end for a peak but I wanna keep everything together. Still havnt sampled rh in jar is a bit high at 63 - 64%.
I'll start off by saying that this was not a great run for me. First run with the blumats and they proved to be shite I ended up hand watering thru the lass half of flower. They grew without a hitch despite the issues. The first one was topped in a 5 gal pot and the second was left alone in a 3 gal. Some pretty heavy pruning was done in veg to fit the space so ultimately the untrained one yielded more than the topped one. The developed monster buds that just kept packing on weight up until the chop. Earthy, piney aromas came from both as the finished up but have their own signature scent to them. In the jar the have a creamy earthy aroma with hints of pine and spices. The taste is very much the same, smooth and cream like with a spicey punch. The buds are rocks and the bag appeal is top notch. The high is indica like offering a solid head high with a sedative body buzz and increasing appetite. The yields were solid at 105g and 115g dry.
The one downfall is that the buds are so big that they can be susceptible to mold or mildew if you don't keep the RH% down towards the end of flower.
This is an interesting strain I am excited to find out what it is and the lineage. Will be back in 7-10 days with weight of mini mainline. Thanks for following and to Fastbuds for making me a tester.
Update: mainlined one dry weight was 75g, same as the first 2 but closer to #1 in bud structure. Out of the 3 I grew this has proven to be very consistent. I warn you to be careful of mold and mildew with this one as the buds are so fat of you dont keep humidity down second half of flower you will end up with mold of some kind. The mainlined one suffered from it but I caught it while it was just developing on the left main cola and it was just a tiny white fuzz, no other buds were affected.

Easy to grow, more of a nighttime smoke probably for most but I enjoy in the day as well. If untrained, it is possible to have a main cola the size of a football. If you like big, fat juicy buds this Is for you. Reminiscent of stardawg which is s top shelfer.
Looking Great! My @Fast_Buds C.A. and C.C. grows aren't even week 4 yet and they are already flowering... I mean thats amazing for a fast grow, but I was kinda hoping to have more time to play with training regime since I saw your Girls made it 6 weeks to flower. If I knew they were gonna kick off so fast, I would've just let them grow out with only LST! But I had Topped both at 3rd node and began 4 nodal Mainlining before they engaged so now we will have to see how they take that!!
@Hawkbo, Yeah, I found the 3500k Cobs I really like on Alibaba for very good price, but the heat-sinks, 90 degree lens, reflectors and the frame are not so reasonable! I looked at a few companies that basically do DIY COB setups themselves and then resell that... What a joke! They're charging $500 + for some of those when the components were at most $150 and an hour to build!!!
@BudKingsGrow, I hear you pal i almost went with cobs but ultimately I went with the quantum boards cuz it's basically a huge cob and way easier to diy, it's all preference tho
@Hawkbo, Yeah, I'm impressed by their speed! I've been thinking about upgrading my lighting to DIY COBs for a while and there's some good ones for fairly cheap, but I just had to drop a lot of fundage on unexpected expenses so its a waiting game!
@Hawkbo, had to pop a second one a sample the first one didn’t germinate. She had her stem above the rockwool last night so today she should be up!! I will get right on that diary 😉
Looking good man. Mine arrived yesterday will be popping a CA in the next week or so. Looking forward to seeing how the mainlined one goes for you, good luck mate
@BigDaddyK, how often do you change out the res? My res for my drip system which is aerated with 2 airstone pumpin 12w is goin foul in like 24 hours lol I don't get it
