"Don't Test Me."

Well, its been a great week! While i was cleaning out the barn on the 24th i came across the box I usually use as a chick brooder and had a brain wave! See, I don't really have anywhere to put these in the garden right now and I really wanted to get them out of the plastic pots. I have an area by the house that used to be my herb garden and also where I kept my first grow in the beginning. I dismantled it earlier this summer but there's still open areas of soil and wood chips so I put the box down there. I also took 3 support hoops and attached deer netting with clothespins to keep any interested wildlife out. I filled it with some homemade compost and a partial bag of Pro Mix BX someone gave me that has been sitting in the barn for a year. The Pro Mix BX contains mycorrhizae and biofungicide, so hopefully that will help later on when we get damp and cold weather in September since these were started a bit later than I would have liked. I'll be curious to see if it actually does make a difference, since I still got a little mold on the CBD Crack 1:1's I did last year, but really just on the bushier, more indica phenotype. If they do well with it then I will most likely use it in future grows since I always have issues with mold in the fall. I'm planning on putting a clear tomato roof over these like I did with my grow last year. It didn't stop all the mold since there's still those pesky caterpillars that like to burrow in and take a 💩 despite spraying and picking them off. I transplanted and let them do their thing; I didn't even need to water as the soil in the pots was still pretty wet. I also buried them down a little lower like last time I transplanted. Every day since then they have been growing before my very eyes! I'm really happy with their progress. Since I didn't get much info from Fastbuds other than it's a 1:1 (earlier diaries say it's a 2:1) I have been looking at other diaries. The majority of those with a harvest didn't give me much info to work with aside from dry numbers on the low side (avg .73oz/plant). The 3 who did have an actual smoke report varied: 25% Sativa & 75% Indica, 50% Sativa & 50% Indica, and 80% Sativa & 20% Indica. So there seems to be a broad range in this strain as they narrow down genetics. Everyone seems to agree that it's earthy so likely has a high Humulene content which is fine by me, anti-inflammatory and pain relieving; yes please! Yesterday I gave them their first topping but I'll include that in next week's post! Happy growing!✌️
