So due to popular demand we are back at that Fastbuds Critical. Banging out some more of those Original series flavors. With this hardy, beastly Sativa. That is a real donkey dick machine! Welcome to part 2.
We got our plug pre moistened with ph balanced water to 6.4. Than increased the size of the plugs hole for easier sowing. Than we got our fat tiger striped bean into the hole. We covered our hole with a piece of the plug we mulched.
Than we got our plug into the humidity dome at 85% rh. We will mist the dome daily to ensure our humidity stays there. It will likely take in around 4 days till she sprouts. Until then happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 1
So after just 3 days this lady was finished up germination. Caught her in her first seconds. As her neck poked out...Before she started to turn up her cotlydon leaves and fully breach through to the surface. Love every part of growing this amazing plant.
It was time to get her potted up into her first and final pot. We went with a 5 gallon container. We filled it up with a hand blended mix of 2 parts pro mix hp to every 1 part of wiggle worm soil builder(earth worm castings).
So roughly 3.3 gallons of pro mix hp and 1.7 gallons of wiggle worm. Obviously slightly give or take.
We than pre moistened/amended or medium with 1/2 tsp per gallon Great white. Dug out a small hole and sowed our plug. It's time to get this show on the road!
Absolutely a banger so I'm pretty amped. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 2
And she is off! Shes doing well in her new medium, and her new home. There is a heat wave going on right now in my region. So it is a bit hotter than usual in the room shes in. I'm adding equipment to the room this weekend.
To be able to get and maintain a cooler climate during our hot season.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 3
Ladies doing well and she did fatten up her single bladed leaves. When I sowed her I thought I seen a touch of leaf damage...from excess moisture in the humidity dome. As her leaves came in more my speculation became fact. Touch of discoloration on her little leaf tips. Mearly cosmetic damage but none the less shouldn't have happened.
Look forward to her next set of leaves coming in perfect and vibrant. Wont be long of a wait. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 4
Still working on bettering the ventilation system for her room. Plus adding extra ac and dehumidifier/humidifier to help with climate control. Shes doing alright... well actually great considering her rather hot and sticky conditions past day of so.
We will definitely be seeing a much comfier lady once we are finished revamping. She is still in heavy root mode right now. But should be switching her focus anytime now. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 6
Almost got my environment and conditions optimized! Shes getting more comfortable as I get shit dialed in. Shes started picking up the foliage growth and has seemed to switch alot of her focus....That direction!
Watered her yesterday with solution of water with 1ml per liter armor si. Ph balanced to 6.3... she responded great! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 8
We got the environment alot more dialed in now. Shes progressing way better with the lower temps and much stabler rh. Shes praying everyday just loving the light intensity. New growth has really picked up now that shes well rooted.
We will start her on some light feed next watering. Give her the first real taste and go from there. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 10
Shes doing well but I've noticed a slight mutation in her leaves. Her first 3 bladed set came in completely connected together... rather cool looking actually. Got big new plans for her current room. So decided to get her outside with the rest of the auto garden. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 11
She took wonderfully to outside and seems to be enjoying herself. Its currently 29 degrees and 45% rh and lots of sun. Let's see what this little lady makes of it. We will end her day with a refreshing misting. Will do that in the evening as the sunsets. Get her nice and cozy. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 12
She started her day off with a nice misting! Growth has been great and shes really starting to boom. Her new set has really developed now. You can clearly see the mutation is gone. Id chalk it up to the unstable environment off the hop.... hot and not ideal ventilation. More than genetics but u never know. But it's gone!
Today's another super sunny day. 27 degrees Celsius 49% rh... nice and comfortable. Temp will drop to 19 degrees over night. Beauty. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 13
We relocated the lady into better sun coverage. Shes been outside a few days now, and is ready to join the rest of the garden. We gave her a cool refreshing mist to make the move a bit more comfortable on her.
Its 27 degrees Celsius 51% rh currently outside, and very sunny! The high of the day us 30 degrees and it will drop to 20 over night. Fabulous conditions today for another healthy day of growth. Let's keep the good times rolling!
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 14
Her pot is getting quite light and dryish to the finger test. So tonight she will receive a feed with a much fuller diet. I will update the chart later today once feed has been completed.
She has taken to the new placement in the garden great. Loving her extra sun exposure.
It's super hot today.... 33 degrees Celsius with a rh of 42%. She's looking un fazed and soaking up the huge sun shine! Bright, bright day out today. Nice amount of breeze pumping... making it a bit more comfortable I suppose.
We will definitely be ending her day with a cool misting. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 15
In order to give her a bit longer wet to dry cycle. I opted to wait till today to give her a feed. Its currently 31 degrees celcius 50%rh , which is todays high. It will drop down to 21 degrees over night.
We are going to feed her in a few hours. Than end her day with a nice mist to cool her down. Lord knows she will need it. Lots of sun and decent sized winds. Good day for some stalk building.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 16
She got a good feeding yesterday of 1ml per liter armor si, .5ml per liter calimagic, 1ml per liter flora micro, and 1ml per liter flora gro ph to 6.4 .
Super hot but sunny day, but it will be great for growth. This lady continues to explode...thing of beauty. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 17
Going to be another scorcher today! So I was out at sunrise giving them a nice refreshing mist down. The feeding the other day and the string of sunny days. Has really let her flourish.
38 degrees celcius is the high for today... time to melt....
Definitely end her day with another misting. Shes been loving the higher temps anyway... lots of wind comes in where she is. Making everything more tolerable. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 18
Lots of sun again today for the younge lady! Itll be much cooler today. It's only 28 currently and the high of the day is only 32 degrees celcius. Its supposed to drop to 20 degrees over night. The relative humidity is 40% and supposed to get closer to 50% as the day progresses. Couldnt ask for better I guess.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 19
Damn what a scorcher out today. Its currently 35 degrees Celsius 43% rh . Just absolutely cooking outside. It's supposed to drop to 23 degrees over night... I cant wait.
Shes really went through her water supply, and shes getting pretty dry. Will top her up this afternoon with water with 1ml armor si ph balanced to 6.4. Than cap her day off with a good misting at sunset.
Though it's been hot... we've managed to keep her rather comfortable. Growth has been strong and shes getting to work on the side branching.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 20
We gave her a good watering last night with just armor si. She was parched and that was just what she needed to clench her thirst. We started her day off at sunrise, with a treatment of pyrethrin mixture. Cycling the products in my War on bugs regime. As the misted coating dried I washed off the excess. That will prevent burning and help avoid pesticide toxicity.
Its currently 23 degrees Celsius, windy as fuck ... and there is a severe thunderstorm warning. The storm Is only minutes away. It's supposed to last 2 hours than sky rocket back up to 32 degrees for the high of the day. It's supposed to drop back down to 22 degrees over night. Let's see what she will make of this. Sure the wind will help with stalk building.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 21
Started the day off with a misting again. The heat wave continues with the high of today being 35 degrees celcius 46% rh. Its currently 32 degrees celcius and the Low of the day is going to be 22 degrees.
Shes really exploded with growth and made something of herself! Shes got just a bit of veg time left before she starts to make the transition into bloom. We are going to do a bit of branch training... But nothing extensive.
We are letting her go pretty natural in this outdoor adventure.
Going to cap the day with a little misting again. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Been super busy cleaning and setting up a whole grow room. Than filling it up... So missed 4 days of updates unfortunately, but I took a video everyday ... so im doing it now. We had thunderstorms day 22 and day 23. Huge wind speeds and lots and lots of rain. Day 24 was mostly a beautiful sunny day, not to hot just cusping 30 degrees. We had a small rain shower but not long and much at all. Day 25 was absolutely beautiful! Nothing but blue skies and lots of sun.
We gave her some Lst training. Tied her main stalk down , opening her up and creating a better canopy. Did a tiny bit of defoliating but just lower useless growth. Lots of signs of flowering so it's any time now! Bloom,bloom,bloom. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 26
Nice and cool day today... it stayed at around 26 degrees celcius and a high of 28. With a average of 55%rh . Supposed to drop down to 18 degrees over night. Lots of sun all day today. Clear skys... not a cloud to block our rays. Very productive day because of it. Hoping for more of this tomorrow.
We gave a light treatment again this morning. One of Our last efforts to detour and minimize pests. We used our canola based mixture to individually treat leaves. We got the majority of the plant just stayed away from fresh growth and forming budsites.
We have plants around each other in different stages of maturity. Dont want to be letting loose with a mister and ravaging my flowers. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 27
Not too hot today... just a high of 28 degrees with a rh of 50% . But it is very cloudy out. As of now they've had great sun exposure all day. But once those clouds get over head, their full sun will diminish. It's going to drop down to 21 degrees over night, making it a relatively decent day for growth.
This ladies well into the transition to bloom. So her feed is relative to that fact. We got her on a really evenly balanced diet that we started today. Perfect for the transition into flowering.
She responded great to our treatment yesterday. No burning or damage/distorted growth observed. Smooth sailing lol. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 28
What a shitty day out today... rain,rain,and more rain. Cloudy AF no sun to be seen. The high of the day is only 26 degrees Celsius, but feels worse cause of the 67% humidity. Not the conditions outside I want to see during flowering. Atleast it's super early into bloom. Its supposed to drop down to 20 degrees over night to end the blah day....
This ladies putting on quite the stretch now! Because of our lst work, shes nice and open. With great branch/budsite spacing and form. With some more stretch I'll be very happy with her overall structure. On to some flowers baby!
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 29
What a beautiful sunny day we got on our hands! Going to be steady 30 degrees celcius with a rh floating at around 50% . Nothing but blue skies and full sun! It's supposed to drop to 20 degrees Celsius over night. That will give her a nice cool off period.
Her stretch continues on strong and her lst is continuing to prove very worth while. Great branch structure just has me in love. Shes starting to whip up those white stigma pom poms. Now shits really getting critical in the 6ix. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 30
Another beautiful day outside today! Nothing but sunshine all day, with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. Very humid out currently it's at 71% but it's not supposed to stay this high for long. Plus there is a beautiful breeze making it feel alot more comfortable. The low for the day is supposed to be 22 degrees.
Let's see what's made of the excellent amount of sunshine today! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 31
Today is humid as hell hovering around 70%rh outside. The high of the day is only 27 degrees but feeling more like 36 with the humid x. It's super windy and rain will be on and off all day. There is a tornado warning in my region... hence the fucked up weather. It's supposed to drop down to around 20 degrees celcius over night.
Been going out and shaking the excess water off her between rainfalls. Shes putting on quite the stretch! If she continues to explode with vertical growth, she will be getting super cropped. Dont want her getting close to the top of my fence. It will likely come down to it... considering her trend of growth.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 32
Beautiful sunny day cooking up right here! Currently 25 degrees Celsius 47%rh, with a super nice breeze going on steady. The high is only 27 degrees today , NICE AND COMFY!
Suppose to drop down to 16 degrees tonight to just bless us.
She is getting mighty thirsty! Because of the thicker foliage in the canopy. The leaves prevented the rainfall from saturating our medium. We will be changing her diet a little. We will update the chart after the feed.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 33
Today is a little cloudy but nice and cool. It's currently 24 degrees celcius 52%rh , the high of the day is only 26 degrees. Supposed to drop down to 19 degrees tonight for the low of the day.
We gave her a watering last night, and a diet change. We added Big bud to her feed as our booster. She really seemed to love that taste. As she was looking super perky this morning. Pumping up that volume.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 34
Today is nothing but clouds and grey sky. Supposed to rain on and off all day and just be piss poor growing weather. The high of the day is 26 degrees Celsius with a rh range of 59-71% today.... ARG. The low of the day is 19 degrees celcius. Write off day.
Shes now has the biggest stature in the garden! The flower stretch and transitioning into bloom really treated her well. Just exploded at all cylinders and really took off. Very excited too see what this lady shall bring us!
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 35
So theres been a touch of bug damage again in the garden ... and pest presence identified. Considering we are outdoors...we have been fortunate in that department actually. Staying vigilant with prevention and control has worked well for us to minimize the presence and damage of pests.
We are now in full bloom... cant just go spraying away! So treatment has to be more controlled and precise now. I got a small sponge and mixed up a canola solution. By hand with the sponge I washed the tops and bottoms of individual leaves, taking care not to over saturate them.
This can be very time consuming! To treat a whole booming and blooming garden one leaf at a time. But this is the most effective way I've found to treat the bulk majority of your plant during full bloom. Without potentially getting it all over your flowers.
Once application started to get dry I hand washed individual leaves off of excess. In a controlled fashion as not to allow it to drip onto our buds. Once again another delicate task but to me VERY important. Build up and left over soloution can burn and mangle your leaves... causing far more damage than the bugs would have done. Plus canola mix is only effective well wet so once its drying up its run its course.
It was a gloomy morning and we had some rain. The sun has now boomed out of the cloud coverage, to really light up our garden. The high of the day is 27 degrees celcius with a rh hovering around 60%. Its supposed to drop down to 18 degrees overnight. Making this a reasonable day for flower growth/production.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 36
Nice sunny day today! High of the day is only 27 degrees and the rh is supposed to float between 50-55 %. its supposed to drop to 18 degrees Celsius over night. Making this a wonderful day for my blooming garden!
She responded wonderful to my by hand pest treatment. No burning or irritation in any way. She continues to fill out in all directions. She is most definitely going to have to be worked on again. More than likely a supercropping is what the doctor orders. That will keep her below my fence line..... muhahahaha.
Shes really going to town starting up all her budsites. The transition period is going great and shes right on the cusp of switching focus to predominantly flowers. Let's watch this lady rocket into full bloom.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 37
Super sunny day out today! Lots of useable light for great flower production! Its currently 28 degrees Celsius and the high of the day is 30. Rh will be kicking at 45-50% range most of the day. Right now being 48%. Its supposed to drop to 21 degrees over night... wonderful day!
We feed her today with another full diet feed of everything listed in the chart. Thirst seems to really be increasing ... So I know her pot is getting full of roots. She continued to just blow up size wise. So we super cropped her main stalk... to structure some horizontal, wider growth. That will keep her below my fence. Muhahahaha. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 38
Hot one today but real sunny! Lots of wind to make it feel much more comfortable. Its currently 30 degrees Celsius 46% rh outside. The high of the day is a sweating 33 degrees celcius. It's only going to drop down to 24 degrees tonight... to continue the scorcher tomorrow.
Busy family day today do that will be all for the update. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 39
It's currently 30 degrees Celsius 62% rh outside. Supposed to hover here all day with a high of 32 degrees. Supposed to drop down to 18 degrees overnight. That will hopefully cap of the heat wave. We shall see.
Was supposed to rain today but they've called it off. Little bit cloudy out but more in squalls and patches. Gets bit darker out for few minutes as they pass over head. Lots of beautiful sun rays to be had! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 40
Real nice sunny day today with cooler temps. Thank god. The high of the day is only 27 degrees Celsius, 48 % rh. It will drop to a low of 19 degrees over night. Making this a wonderful day for bloom.
Went at this lady again with some training. I did a bunch of leaf tucking to unshade some branches. Than super cropped 3 of her branches to bring them into open space and get some more light down to the middle of the plant. Those 3 branches really clustered in the middle of our plant close and tight together. Shading everything below real badly.
Shes looking nice and clean again and got much wider! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam .
Day 41
We had a little bit of rain over night. Shook branches of this morning to clear excess water. Pretty cloudy outside currently.... it's only 23 degrees celcius with a rh of 62%. Supposed to be fairly cloudy all day with a high of 27 degrees. It's going to drop down to 17 degrees Celsius overnight. Not the greatest day for growing but definitely could be alot worse. Its not thick clouds so enough useable sun Rays are still available.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 42
Lots of sunshine today with a nice strong breeze. The high of the day is only 26 and it's supposed to hover around 24 most of the day. Its 52% rh outside today and the low will be 17 degrees. Very wonderful conditions considering the stage of growth we are in.
She was mighty thirsty this morning! So we fed her with the full diet listed in the chart. Keep her well fed so she can bulk those flowers up! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 43
Today was a little cloudy at times... but bulk majority nice and sunny. The high of the day was 27 degrees with a rh fluctuating between 45-50%. Its supposed to drop down to 18 degrees over night. Very decent weather.
This baby is shaped and structured so nicely. Her canopy is so even with javelins coming up all over! Shes Green vibrant and full of strength. Really starting to come along in the bud department! Good times. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 44
It was not super hot but encoupled with the humidity it was sticky. Road about 27 degrees 60%rh all day. Lots of sun and blue skys up until nightfall. Mild showers are starting now as the sun descends. Its supposed to drop to 20 degrees Celsius over night to cap off the day.
Wowzers! I'll leave it that today. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 45
Terrible storms today! Raining at sunrise and it just increased in volume all morning. The rain stopped mid afternoon after a down pour. The sun beamed out at that point. Encoupled with steadily increasing winds... kinda harsh condition change ... but really helped remove the excess moisture outta the flowers. At around 6pm the storm rolled back through just a shit show all over again.
High of the day was 27 degrees, and the rh fluxed around 55-60%. Supposed to drop to 18 over night and rains supposed to stop by 10pm. We shall see.
I was out there every couple hours to shake off water build up in my buds. Keeping me on my toes all day. Lots of branches to shake off out in the auto garden. Definitely one of those time consuming things I do for my ladies. Not all will make the effort.
Looks like I'll loose a couple leaves subsequently cause of the harsh conditions as off late. No biggy.. not alot of loss at all. This ladies nice and full of leaves regardless.
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 46
Another cloudy ugly day... cool though with a high of only 24 degrees celcius today. Rh hovering between 50-60% . Little tiny rain showers on and off. None longer than 5 mins. Shaking branches after just to be safe. Going to drop down to 19 over night. BLAH.
Looking pretty good considering the less than favourable weather! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 48
Had more down pouring rain yesterday evening... did lots of branch shaking again... becoming routine. Plus side lots of sun today but the high is only 23 degrees Celsius. Going to be cool all day with a rh floating around 60%.
Going to drop down to 15 degrees over night. We are losing our summer quickly.
Buds are really fattening up and looking sweet. Supposed to have a rain free day for a change... hopefully it results in great flower development. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Day 49
Beautiful sunny day today! Nics and cool with a high of 25 degrees, and nothing but blue skys. Rh hovering around 45-50 % and a low of the day of 17 degrees. Perfect blooming weather.
Buds are coming along great, cant wait to see how they finish!
Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam!
Day 50
Another wonderful sunny day! Pure blue skys not a single cloud. High of 26 degrees Celsius today. Rh floating from 40-50% and a low of 17 degrees. Definitely can complain. Also a beautiful steady breeze making it feel so comfortable. Definitely happy growing.
Fed her a full diet feed this morning. Shes coming along but shes been the slowest bloomer in the garden. Hopefully she makes up for the speed in weight. Only time will tell. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
Man what a Bush! Bud development has really sped up and increased. Nice tops galore rowed all throughout the canopy. Looks like in a few weeks she will be quite the haul. Trichome production is becoming more apparent. Giving her colas a little shimmer and shine. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.
