Edit: The girls have sprouted on day 4! One Friday morning and the second that evening! So exciting! I took a few photos Saturday morning for progress that I’m adding to this week. I watered a little less than every other day waiting until the soil was dry about a knuckle down with just tap water that is around 7ph from my test. No nutes for now. For goals, I got a space heater for the tent and that’s been keeping the tent at a very solid 71-76 temp range. The tent is still a bit dry around 20-38% RH, so I ordered a humidifier to hopefully get that under control closer you 40-50% RH. I’m thinking of experimenting with LST with one of the two plants to see the differences between that and a natural grow. Pics from exactly one week from planting. Onto week 2! Cheers! ——————————————————————————————————————————————— Hello everyone, I'm starting my first grow of Fastbuds Blue Dream'matic. I've been doing quite a lot of reading and I'm ready to give it a try! Any tips would be appreciated! I'll start the diary off with a few photos of the initial set-up, then will update next week hopefully with more pictures to end week 1. I'm using Fox Farm Happy Frog soil as a medium and the Fox Farm trio (Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom) for nutrients in a 10" pot with an integrated saucer. The grow tent is a Vivosun 48"x24"x60" I have the lights on a timer set to a schedule of 18hr on from 7pm-1pm and 6 hr off to hopefully warm up the tent during the evening as we are still in the colder season for my area. I have the seeds planted about a knuckle down and lightly covered with soil and spritzed with a watering can to keep the soil around the seed moist but not soaked per some of the recommendations of what I'm reading for growing seeds directly in the final container. I do have the integrated saucer disconnected from the pot and have the pot sitting on the raised ends molded into the saucer to enable more drainage and to use as a water catch plate once I start to water more and more. I will hold off on starting nutrients until I'm a bit more comfortable with the watering schedule and the plant is a bit farther along. Once I do start adding nutrients I'll be adding about half strength and then ramping up to match the feeding schedule from FF. My challenges for the upcoming week will be to monitor the humidity and temp as they're a bit lower than what I'm reading is ideal for growing, and to see how I can work on getting those things raised in my tent. In addition, I'll be playing with my watering amount to make sure the seeds get enough water but not too much That's it for now. Cheers!

Does anyone know why some of my leaves are getting white spots? It doesn’t seem to be affecting growth, and it doesn’t look like any white mold pictures I’ve seen. I’m thinking it’s hard water but I would like second opinions/thoughts!

Hi there, I wouldn’t worry with that if I we’re you! I had the same issue, it’s just water marks left over from feeding. Next time lift the leaves with your arm and water the plant as closely as you can to the stem. I would also like to add that you avoid watering on the leaves as much as possible as some people have found that this affects the taste of the bud when harvested. Good luck growing!

How does the promotion system on GD work? I just went from Newbie to apprentice, and I’m unsure what that means or what the different levels indicate other than those who have more experience than others. Any help shedding light would be appreciated ✌️

Looking good my friend, don’t take this the wrong way as the looks of things she’s sweet as👌 But how close is your light? Perhaps it could go a tiny bit closer to get smaller node spaces, or maybe I’m talking rubbish🤣 just my two pence✌️
Ema26
Ema26
@Michigrown, sounds like a plan👌 You’re welcome✌️ Yeah I had the same problem, light was at the very top and my top cola was 10cm from the light😂 I ended up bending her diagonally and tying down to a bamboo stick👌 Yeah they’re unpredictable lol✌️
Michigrown
Michigrown
@Ema26, yeah. I like that better. I think I’ll remain consistent through this grow. See what I get for results and optimize from there. Thank you for chatting with me through it. 🤝 To be honest I’m quickly running out of height in my tent to raise the light so maybe the girls will grow closer anyway. They do have had a tendency to surprise me so we’ll see 😁

@Michigrown, yeah I’m quite cautious of light burn etc too, still getting to grips with my hps distances, to be honest I have no experience when it comes to led/ led distances but I guess with every plant it’s always down to experimenting, my gelato stretched the same as yours is with big gaps as I was always upping the distance to allow for growth, encouraging even more upwards growth, hence the big node spaces. Like you said before, it won’t be your last grow, so you could always comfortably finish this grow and experiment with your next, however don’t let me influence your decisions and always do what you feel is right👌 Good luck my friend✌️

😍Bella and Daisy😍 are growing fast now💪!! and doing great🙌!! I am on day 29, and my girls are still short. I started LST last week. Are you going to LST your girls? or are you going natural? Good luck with your grow !! keep doing what you do !! awesome job👊 👍

@1stmanny, I know! I feel so bad bending them too! I’m so worried I’ll break or uproot them. I’m leaning towards going the rest of the grow naturally and maybe trying LST more on that next grow :) Happy growing!

@Michigrown, wow, she doubles in size. that's great!! sometimes I feel bad about LST. 😢 I am not sure I like doing it to them. i am growing to natural to see if its worth it. thank you MichiGrown, happy growing

@1stmanny, Thanks dude! 👊 Every day is a new adventure growing these girls 😁 As for LST. I started in week 4 you can see some before and after pics there. I left the ties on for now that you can see in week 5 pics where you can see the main stem grow outwards a bit before growing up again. Still debating on whether or not I want to try and LST this week or go natural the rest of the way, and do a full LST I the next grow to compare yields. As for height, my girls were about 3.5 inches on Sunday and today they’re about 7+ inches. Double the height in 4 days. Keep on chugging my friend I’m sure your girls are about to pop up quick! I’ll take a look at your journal and leave some feedback if I see anything. Cheers!

Hey Michigrown, those girls have stretched pretty long, they look almost exactly like my 2 blue dream'matics that i moved outside. Love the cola development.😻They are fattening up now !

@Michigrown, yeah topping with lst worked pretty well for me ! Also nice trichomes vorming on your buds 👐🏼

@Mr_Haze, yeah haha! They’re up passed 24” tall! I think next time for sure I’m gonna FIM/Top before training them so they grow a bit shorter :) Lesson learned. Thanks for the kind words! I’m stoked how well they’re starting to fill out 😁

Hey what’s up! Looking great! I’ll give you a follow! The only thing I’ll say is I recently found that although my humidity in the tent is around 35% where my seedlings are is a lot higher around 60%+, this’ll be the moisture in the medium and water clinging onto the fabric pots. You may find as the plant gets bigger the humidity goes up slightly As you’ll have more water going in and adding more plants to your tent can help humidity also. Just a noob passing on maybe helpful information😅
Ema26
Ema26
@Michigrown, yes me too! That sounds good your tent looks very organised. I’m thinking of investing in a humidifier myself for research. I personally try to get the temps and humidity just somewhere within reason because I found if you play around with too many things trying to get them bang on you end up making it worse sending the Plants to all ends of all scales.. but that might just be me🤣 sounds like you’ve got everything under control👌 I’d advise a oscillating fan to move the air around and prevent heat pockets and different areas of the tent being different temperature and humidity. If you wanted to talk further feel free to shoot me a PM! Thanks!

@Ema26, Hey! Thanks for the tip! I always love learning more about growing. I just rearranged my tent to add a humidifier and balanced the hygrometer between the two pots so hopefully I don’t get too different of a reading than what the plant is seeing. Great tip on the humidity increase as the plants grow. I’ll be making sure to keep an eye on that for sure. I think I’m a bit lucky since my grow area is naturally drier, and I’m just adding humidity. I also grabbed a humidifier that shuts off at a set humidity so hopefully that should keep me safe for a bit. I’m playing around with the setting to dial it in based on what my hygrometer is showing vs the humidifier setting. If it gets too humid as the plant matures I may have to invest in a fan, but I suppose we’ll see when we get there! Thank you again for the tip! Cheers!
