I would like to thank Heather @ FastBuds for the awesome package! We are going for the purple with a different strain this time. I'm 0-2 let's hope the 3rd time is a charm. I will grow her with pro mix hp,compost,clay and some glacial rock dust. 🙏 for the purple!

So it's a few days into week 2. She looks like she is doing ok with just 18 hrs of light. Feeding her 100 ml of water every 2 days. My humidity is a tad low so I give her a misting 2-4 times a day. Growing her in an old dresser. I also put vent tape around bucket for flies or bugs. I will update more pics during this week. Thanks for stopping in. Day 9 went crazy taking pics also gave her a misting. Day 10 took pic Day 11 misted the seedling took pic Day 12 gave her 500ml of water ph 6.2, poured slowly around the outer edge of the mop bucket. Also moved her up 2 inches closer to the light. Day 13 just took pics and added some effects for the Halloweed contest for fun. They suck I know! Day 14 same as 13 took pic.

She is a few days into week 3. I put her on a 20-4 cycle now to help with the growth. On day 15 gave her 250ml of water around the far edge of the bucket. Day 16 took pics Day 17 fed her a few drops of biofish 3-1-2 in 1 cup of water. After adding the ph was 6.8 @ 100ppm. I also cut more of the top of the dresser to add another 100 watt halide. She now has 200 watts. When she goes into flower in a few weeks I will pull 1 halide and add a 150 watt hps from sun system. I will add more pics in the next few days. Please come again!😁 Day 18 gave her another cup of the biofish same strength around the outer edge of the mop bucket and took pic. Gave a misting of Epsom salt @ 20ppm ph 6.8 @ lights out. Day 19 Blended promix and compost as a top dressing. Gave her 1 cup of water with it. ph of water was 6.8. Day 20 took pic. Day 21 gave her 500ml of water around the outer edge of the mop bucket.

So it's the end of week 5. I was going to grow her natural for a possible Christmas contest. After someone told me I would never win I decided to bend her down. Day 29 gave her 500ml of water. Day 30 Bent her and took the bottom leaves off and one small branch also at the bottom. Then gave her a small feeding of 4 oz at her stem. Day 31 Let her recover. Day 32 Tied her back some more on the main stem. Day 33 Watched football and took pics. Day 34 gave her 500ml of water Day 35 is today took pics. She is now only 11 inches because of the bending. She would be 18 inches. She is 6.5 inches up from the soil. Bend sideways growth is 6.5 inches. Then shoots up 4.5 inches. Lets hope we get that purple😎

Oh this is awesome! Look what we have going on here! Heather thanks so much for this beauty! This is day 39 as I write this. Will update rest of the week as we go along. Day 36 2 cups of water Day 37 switched out 1 halide for a 150 watt hps also 2 cups of water Day 38 3 cups off water Day 39 taking a hr off going to give her 19 hrs of light. Day 40 did a huge change with her. Moved her into a slightly smaller dresser that was in the garage. Took the halide out put another hps in. She now is under 300 watts of hps. Total overkill let's see how she handles this. I will feed her 2 cups of water just before lights out. Day 41 the 300 watts is total overkill. We will see how she handles it. Gave her 2 cups of water 4 hrs before lights out. Day 42 gave her 2 cups off water

So as I write this it's day 46 from the day she popped up. This plant is beautiful such a shame I will have to harvest her one day. She is doing very very well. All I have had to do is just give her 2 cups of water a day. I do this for 2 days then give her a day off the water. Then the next day give her 3 cups. Then 2 cups. Example is.... 2cups 2cups No cups 3cups 2cups 2cups No cups Thanks again FastBuds for the awesome genetics!!!! I will add to the diary in the next 2 days 2 finish up the week. Hope you all love this beauty!😎 Day 47 3 cups of water. Day 48 was gone all day. Gave her no water. Day 49 gave her 3 cups of water also took a few bottom fan leaves off. Took photos to round out the week.
