From Order to Harvest

I am starting a new diary a little earlier than expected but I have room so here goes. First time ordering from Fastbuds and choose them due to the fact it cost more to buy the same seeds in the UK than ordering direct to Spain also got more freebies well one seed but it all counts. I ordered on line at 10am on Monday 8th June and at 3.15pm Thursday 11th June a small package arrived. You can't say thats not quick and looking on the UPS tracking which Fastbuds supply it had spent 12hrs in a warehouse!!!! Into water with a 1% Take Root mix to aid germination at 5.15pm Thursday 11th June. Approximately 36hrs later the tap root was out on California Snow with West Coast showing a smaller tap root and Girl Scout just breaking the seed shell. All three then placed onto wet paper kitchen roll soaked in the Take Root solution. So I'm guessing that I shall call this week one and update accordingly. Week 1 It is a fact that I will have ordered seeds started them off and have them in seedling pots in less than 7 days from ordering thats good going considering the problems this world is giving itself due to all the idiots in power wanting power and control instead of saving lives but I digress 😂 By the way I am a customer of Fastbuds and not endorsed by them to say anything nice just to let you all know👍 Monday 15th June. All three ladies placed into seed pots. Watering only for a week with the 1% Take Root solution. So true to my estimations we have three ladies potted up within seven days of ordering and now the 16 week wait till smoking which by my reckoning will be about mid September. Not long really when I think I'm not going anywhere fast in the present situation. Checked on the tent at night to find a surprise California Snow has popped out. She is one healthy strong one. She was in Spain this time last week😂 Wednesday 17th June. I have added another Girl Scout to the grow as I have the room. Cali is growing well and West Coast has popped out. Think Girl Scout will be a few days behind. Thursday 18th June. All three of the original ladies have now popped out so onwards and upwards as they say. Sometime mid September I reckon for the chop. Still watering with 1% Take Root for another week then might be a repot and start on the big bot nutes😂

Week 2 Saturday 20th June. The three original ladies have all popped out just the additional Girl Scout to pop , but she is a few days behind. All seems to be going as it should and they all appear to be strong healthy growers. I'm thinking that I should for once LST these as I think they could grow tall I have room but haven't done LST for a while so will give it a go again. No change to watering just 1% Take Root this week then look to step upend maybe a repot but we shall see,

Week 3 Saturday 27th June. We have a sure winner for the tallest seedling Cali Snow she is a grower and will need LST for sure. This week I think I will be potting the three ladies up in 10l pots and the nutrients will change.Will be on cal/mag at 1% to start with and thinking of going back to Canna for a change. So the last days of just Take Root and lets hope all three ladies will like their new home.😂

Week 4 Sunday 5th July Transplanted all the ladies into 10l pots all seem good. Will let them establish themselves then start on the nutrient feeds.

Week 5 Sunday 12th July. All looks good and will do some training on Cali Snow. They were right when they said she can grow!!!!

Week 6 Sorry for the late photos having problems with the computer. Will update better soon.
