********* Week 5, May 9 to 15, 2020 - Days 29 to 35 from germination **********
*
We are calling this week 1 of flower. Definite signs of preflower on the girls. They are doing well in overcoming the transplant into plastic pots. The pH is still a concern and messing things up from a nice normal feeding pattern.
They are nice and green though and will work through this all because they are healthy overall. They are a fair bit larger at the end of the week than they were at the start of the week😀
GSC flushed hard at the start of the week to help combat the pH which is still high. She was given over 40L to help lower.
Sorry Fast Buds.......grower not setting this one on fire😞
Little more detail coming.......

- tips are not up 100% so we keep working at it👍😃
Dual Fuel line, base nutes from Green Planet. Anyone reduce part 1 relative to part 2 in flower? Negative effects or only positive? Kept equal ratio last run and not unhappy but considering change . Very high nitrogen! AN Sensi Grow prior. Cheers Growmies👍😀🙏
You can increase the B amount to have more PK than N. But be careful about the cal mag and trace elements , if They are in the A bottle you can have many issues by changing the dosage
Exhale Bags - How long do they really last in use?
Hey Growmies with and Exhale bag and a CO2 monitor........how long are these bags able to keep the CO2 at 800ppm range in your tent? Manufacturer is saying 11 months idea on XL size. 🙏
Привет, бро! 👋
Обычно такая штука эффективно работает около 60% заявленного срока! т.е. где-то 6,5 месяцев! Дальше тоже работает, но не на столько эффективно, как первые пол года! 👆
Удачи, братан!
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
@Kostecs,First run of cookies from them......strain should have the potential to be big girls😍
7 gal outside should be a nice size to be able to move it around and help with light deprivation or find shelter for a storm.........much bigger than 10 gal and she is staying in place😂
@PrairieFrostGrow, thanks for responding. Have you grown this strain from Fastbuds before?
I am really looking forward to it. I am going to grow it outdoors in about a month. Picked up 4, 7 G pots today and some promix BX. im gonna try this Green Planet Product called Back Country Grow, Bloom & Boost.
I look forward to your updates.
@Mr_Weeds_Autos,Thanks stopping by.......you must be getting a little bored, nothing growing for a bit😀
Hope you are enjoying the fruits of your labours👍🙏
Haha! I went through the same thing on my transplants yesterday! 3 gallon fabrics. Tried to get them out, said screw this and cut them... Saved a lot of time and I won't be buying those ones again. I'll look up radical bags, cause I need something easier here. Was thinking about buying the fabric pots with a velcro strip down the side... Thinking I might be easier(?), Idk!
Anywho! I know you're busy but happy to see the kids doing so well 🙂. Keep up the fine work 👌
@PrairieFrostGrow, Hey, Absolutely give me a shout if you're in Alberta. I love to talk shop with other growers, especially in person👍😀. That would be cool!
And please don't apologize, hahaha. I don't demand a response or nothing. You have a life to live! My comments can certainly wait.
I did check out the radical bags and I hope you do get them next go. They look like what I'm looking for, but a velcro side might be even better!
You take care too, please. Stay safe and happy you're getting a couple weeks off to travel Canadiana🙂. Cheers!!
Thanks @JinksyGrows, sorry I missed the comment😣
Yeah....I ended up spending some of my growing budget unexpectedly this run so the Radical Bags will have to wait for run after the next. Paying for shipping from the US is frustrating so going to wait and make the order worth it when I do........thinking just the 3gal and 5gal for myself.
I was thinking of you on the weekend......on holidays right now for two weeks and was playing with driving down the highway. Nothing planned this summer for holidays so we my find ourselves in your neck of the woods. Chance to smoke a fat one together, well two fat ones today😀, possibly if you are around!!!!! I will direct message you if we go and see if we can make it work, I would know a few days before hand😁
Have a great week and hope you are seeing some sunshine!
Looking good man.. I can’t comment to much as I have never done an indoor grow before.
You’re pictures look good and it sounds you’re enjoying all of this ....
The love of the grow !!
Cheers!
So moussed with my GSC by Fastbuds , 2 of the seeds didn’t even germinate. The third is growing slow and week. I’ll never by a Fastbuds product ever again.
