Whats Happening GD Community!!
(Be sure to spread those Good Vibes and Cannabis Love whenever and wherever you can)
*** Sorry for the over-exposed photos - My regular Grow Room light failed this morning.
Here we are for Start of Week 4 for @Fast_Buds C.C. and C.A.!
C.A. is clearly a stronger plant than C.C. - Not necessarily anything to do with the genetics, but could just be a seed issue or my growing methods.
Both Ladies have been growing very strong this week though, and both have already kicked into flower!!! I was not expecting it to happen so fast since Hawkbo's GD showed Week 5 for flowering (I was using his GD as a reference for my grow). As a result, I was not able to finish my training regime in time. I did a final trim and LST today. I know this will effect the start of early flower stretch, but the way I had them would've been a cluster without getting some semblance of profile before Budding. I will let both girls go from here on their own with only small defoliations as needed.
Switched over to BioBizz's week 6 Flowering schedule since they are ready for it: Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom, Top-Max, Bio-Heaven, & Alg-A-Mic. Also added 2 tablespoons of Expert Gardener's time-released Cal/Mag/Zinc supplement.
Not much else from here. Just to sit back and see how these Ladies take my training as they flowered so fast!
Thanks for your support, likes and following along! Being a part of your Community is one of my favorite parts of my day!!
Until Next Week, Cheers!
-----------------------------------------------------
So I was able to squeeze out a bit of information on the genetics for these 2 new FastBuds strains!!
FastBuds said, "As far as CC and CA I can only tell you that they are Indica dominant strains with C.A. being more Indica. And both have 5th gen Ruderalis coming in at 12.5% genetic code.
BioBizz Nutrient Line Info (Note: Only other supplement needed with BioBizz Lineup is Cal/Mag/Zinc):
Root-Juice allows an optimal development of the roots of the plant. It moreover stimulates the growth of the plants that are already rooted because Root-Juice imitates the natural life of the soil in the surroundings of the rooting. Through the strong growth of the roots, the plant is better prepared to absorb nutrients.
Bio-Heaven improves the effects of all foliar sprays and fertilizers used to feed the plant. At the same time Bio-Heaven rids the plant of toxins, it repairs the chlorophyll production and restimulates the plant. By using Bio-Heaven the plantsโ energy will be increased! Use during the entire grow and flowering period of the plant. Besides, it can be used on every substrate, on coco and in hydrosystems.
Bio-Grow is a liquid growth fertilizer which can be applied to most types of soil and substrate mixtures. Bio-Grow activates the bacterial flora in the substrate thanks to it basis of 100% Dutch organic sugar beet extract, commonly known as vinasse. Vinasse is syrup that contains sugar.
Fish-Mix enables substrates to stimulate bacterial flora and accelerate growth. It is an infusion of organic fish emulsion from the North Sea mixed together with extract of Dutch sugar beet. Fish-Mix boosts growth of all living organisms in the substrate, as well as improving and stimulating production of microorganisms and useful bacteria in every type of soil and coco-based substrates.
Alg-A-Mic ensures green leaves, by stimulating the absorption of chlorophyll. Alg-A-Mic contains a low level of NPK, therefore it is impossible to create an Alg-A-Mic overdose.
Bio-Bloom is a complete liquid organic fertilizer which contains a small amount of nitrogen and enough phosphorous and potassium to ensure exuberant flowering. Trace elements and hormones of vegetable origin are also added to improve the flowering process. It also contains enzymes and amino acids, which work in harmony with the soil to promote flowering and fruit production. Potassium helps the forming and flowering of petals and bulbs. Phosphorus gives the nutrients that are necessary to make the calyces and the petals grow.
Top-Max is a 100% organic flowering strengtheners which has the threefold purpose of increasing the actual size and weight of clusters of flowers, leaving a sweet, smooth taste in the finished product and facilitating the uptake of nutrients by the plants. Top-Max liberates ions like calcium, iron and magnesium, which stimulate the metabolism of the plant.
Cant recommend BioBizz Nutrients more!! They work well every time ๐
@@@frags, @Skiffdank, Right! Where's the respect for my Lady?! ๐ JK! The training regime I was working on didn't come to fruition so I did a final trim and LST. It looks naked because of that, but now that the leaves are turned up She's looking much better! About to add a new pic to show that.
@Zannabis7, So true Man! And not to mention that doing that work on a platform like this is also helping bring Cannabis culture forward! Mad Props Bro ๐
@BudKingsGrow, Yes, but at least we are DIY stoners, as in, grow you own stoners. It's a lot of work to pull off your own crops, keep separate diaries, etc. Let's give ourselves some credit! ๐
@Tazard, Nah! Cant say "All"... Think about humans for example, Even with our amazing sciences, we cant guarantee 100% successful birth rate. Life is never certain ๐
@Zannabis7, Was just commenting yesterday that my honest opinion is that there is quite possibly TOO MUCH info about this method or that soil or this nutes and it overloads us with options that make it hard to know what to go with... Figuring out what you like and what works for you is the best path in my mind! Yes, It is nice to be able to learn from others mistakes and advice, but even then, its possible to do their method wrong and end up with a failure. That's why being a Ganja Grower is so amazing! Just look at the diversity of growers, methods, & genetics on this site... And look at all those gorgeous Harvests!!! Gotta love Mary Jane ๐
@BudKingsGrow, Nice information. I have always liked the Fox Farm Ocean Forest at 60%, 30% added Perlite, and 10% added Earthworm Castings. That seems to be the magic mix for me. No feeding necessary until week 3. But we all have our preferences. You are definitely right about the nutes and PH. I love the science of keeping the PH, TDS/PPM, and nutes all aligned with what the plants want/need. Best wishes...
I can't wait to get mine and start my diary because I get to follow along this new strain and see other developments! I'll have my seeds today shall germinate asa lol so curious lol
Yo man your training seems to be coming along nicely with these. I will be honest kinds makes me a lil envious that I didn't try and push mine haha, never thought they could handle that much with everything I have been told! Looking great though mate can't wait to see how they fill out
@ganjaman94, I think its a combo of the this particular seed being a bit weaker and the strain just being a fast flowering one... I've looked at a much wider selection of C.C. and C.A. GDs now and almost all of them show flowering at week 3 or 4 at latest. If I would've compared those first instead of just going with Hawkbo's GD, I would've planned for a less stressful regime. Maybe next time!!
@BudKingsGrow,I hear you man.. The training still looks pretty impressive though to be fair, I can relate to what your saying though mate I was expecting mine to be done in 2 weeks looking at the diaries of it on here.. And I am well off that happening! Can imagine you were little disappointed though with what you had planned mate, could stress not have caused them to start a bit earlier? Or would that be more likely to stop growth? As you said though could just be the seeds man, mine look like 3 different plants almost and they all came from the same pack, either way going off your latest pics they sure look like they are taking well to what you have done, they are looking healthy mate! Good job bro ๐
@ganjaman94, She is doing really well now! But I did mess up with these Fast Buds strains (especially this C.C.) because I started a training regime that was intended to last till week 5 but both of these Ladies started flowering at week 3! Left me with a predicament that I had to do something about... This C.C, was smaller than Her Sister C.A. and She looks the worst for wear, but I think even She is gonna do fine ๐ I had been using Hawkbo's GDs on these as my example and he documented a week 5 flower so I thought I had time to really train them out... Live and learn!
Great technique, rocking the mainlining! ๐ You do good in pushing the boundaries, as there are loads of auto growers here it is very educational too been able to see how this techniques reflect in the overall ๐๐ Cheers, happy growing!
@BudKingsGrow, ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป Well bro as long as she gives you enough to hold till the next harvest is all good and worth the many experiences and trials so is possible to refine for the next run ๐๐๐ป Cheers, happy growing!
@CANNASIM, I appreciate the feedback! I am finding that Cultivating has become my outlet for creativity and artistic expression. I truly pour my all into each grow and use my imagination mixed with science to work the Girls into the perfect shape! I wish this grow had more veg time though so I could've gotten it to a similar place as my Super Economy grows Sour D, but She was so fast I ended up in a predicament lol! I think She might still pull off some nice Buds, but had I known, I would've just stuck to straight LSTing Her main stalk to 1 side and called that good!
Such gutsy training. I have such a hard time cutting and bending my ladies like that, but I certainly admire and respect you for this. It will be awesome to see how this works out in the end!
@Zannabis7, Would've been less gutsy if I would have had time to complete the process before flowering...But alas, I had to do a quick hack job to get myself out of the mess I made by not being prepared for this fast of flower! My Super Economy Grow training regime is what I was going for on this and C.A. which would've been lovely! We will just have to see how these turn out!! It's all on the Ladies now!! (I think the C.A. will be fine as She's recovered perfectly, but this C.C. I think might not do so well ๐)
@BudKingsGrow, never trust cats!
Hey if youโve got carpet, hose it down, turn the heating up and go away for a week, when you get back it should have dried out and you should have some easy to find sprouted seeds! lmfao, loving these cookies!! ๐
@eightleggeddj, She's recovered remarkably well from the skeleton trim/LST job I had to do this week due to Her already kicking into flower... Just hope She decides to stretch like a Mo-Fo and gives me nice Buds! It's really a shame too because my cat Arya swiped the remaining C.C. seeds I had in @Fast_Buds baggie within a split second of me looking away and tore off through house! I chased Her, but she dropped the baggie somewhere and I have yet to be able to find it lol! I'd let C.C. go with only LST'ing the top to one side if I grew Her again. I'm sure I will find that baggie one day ๐
Looking good mate really filling out now ๐ nice to see you use the bio buzz nutes aswell ๐ will be watching along for comparisons to my own ladies .
@BudKingsGrow, same mate they a staple in my garden .i am lucky that the water from my tap Is desalinised water and is literally the exact same as if I use my referral osmosis pump, just need to add cal-mag to every batch I use .๐
Hey BudKing. You are going to love Fastbuds. My one nearly grows 20 cm within a week and the buds popped out within a few days. If you have enough space you may expect a tree that grows money
@Zannabis7, That's amazing to hear! (and Thank You!). I believe so strongly about Cannabis and it's many benefits that all I want to see happen with my GDs is to be inspiring to others in hopes that they too will fall in love with this wonderful plant๐
@eightleggeddj, Thanks eightleggeddj! I swear your Good Vibes make it all the way to my Ladies ๐ And I also am loving @Fast_Buds! There genetics are already proving to be vigorous on both these grows, and they are all over GrowDiaries supporting growers and spreading they Mary Jane Love! That alone makes them my top Seed provider for my future grows - Gotta support those that support you ๐
