Beginning of FIRST week... I noticed she sprouted late last night.. Here she is today (see pics)! She's a bit crooked but that will straighten out.. She's so tiny!!! Next day.. Man this coco is being an asshole.. It refuses to soak any water.. I've ran multiple gallons thru this shit and it's still dry asf at 2 inches from the top. I've also let the pot sit in the saucer to soak up 1L of pH'd water twice.. Currently sitting in the second now. I havent tried to disturb the new seedling's roots, but I'm almost positive that it should be good and wet in the middle.. She looks so super happy and healthy.. Leaves are nice and dark.. Can almost see a tint of purple on her 5mm long leaves lol.. And I know alot of seedlings do this, but even her stem is super dark purple.. But I'm guessing since the coco in the middle (where she is) made it all the way to the bottom and when the 1 or 2 inches on top that are wet is filled, it just flows to the bottom of the pot thru the center.. That's my take on it.. Even my 3-way meter (light, moisture and pH) shows that it is nice and moist on the very bottom of the pot.. But around the outside of the plant, it's still showing bone dry.. Maybe this is another good reason you should just buffer the shit before using.. Guh! Lol.. I'm sure over time it will get to where it needs to be.. But damn, I have never had this problem before.. It's just a little annoying.. And confusing.. Even bricks of dried coco aren't this difficult to deal with.. Whatever.. She's happy so that's what matters.. Just gotta keep her happy and her genetics will do the rest!!! Later that night... I went ahead and slowly flushed some more pH'd water thru her.. And the last bit, I used .5mL/L of CALiMAGic and .25mL/L (5 drops) of Floralicious Plus in 1 Liter of 6.3 pH'd tap water. That was about 300 PPM and the runoff came out about 400 PPM but the pH came out 6.7 or some high number like that.. But I think its cuz the first couple days I was just using tap water without pH'n it which is usually about 7.0 - 7.4.. Depending on the day, I guess.. But she's still a tiny seedling.. The pH isn't gonna matter till after week 1.. I really just wanted to get some CalMag and Sea Kelp in there for her for when she will need it. Oh and I'm also leaving her sitting in her runoff for now.. Since the medium wants to be a dick lol.. Ill empty it out if its not all absorbed up in the morning since its going so slow.. It is going.. Just slow Next day.. I went ahead and turned the light down a bit.. It was reading about 25000 LUX which is about 600 PAR, I believe. Turned it down to about 16500 LUX which should be around 350 PAR. She's grown just a tad.. Like literally a mm maybe.. But tomorrow I update with pics.. Then I can compare better, maybe lol. Later that night.. Ok now I'm reading as a seedling, she should only need 5000 - 8000 LUX.. That seems a bit low and even the light seems pretty dim.. I went ahead and adjusted her to get 16000 LUX.. According to the equation to get PAR (LUX × .025 = PAR) *roughly close*, she's getting about 400 PAR now.. Maybe keep it here for the rest of the week.. See if shes stretching at all.. I'm using a pretty small tent and don't have much height to bring the light up any high from where it's already at.. So, I do not need ANY unnecessary stretching whatsoever.. Taking a quick look at the leaves and they seem like there may be a little yellowing.. They were so dark green 2 days ago.. Not much yellowing but I do see it.. Hopefully this week didnt get wasted by stress... Ugh.. That would be my luck lol... Mid week.. Medium is FINALLY starting to show signs of being able to hold moisture lol bout damn time. Seedling kinda seems a bit burnt on the leaves from the light. I could be wrong. Just weird yellowing, and it has been fed a tiny bit of CALiMAGic and Floralicious Plus this week. Maybe start with the FloraMicro soon. Got the lights dimmed down to where they should be.. A little over but that should be good still compared to how muchI've blasted seedlings in the past, without knowing it till now lol. Seems to be pretty happy for the most part, leaves are growing.. By the end of this week, the first set of true leaves should be quite bigger... We shall see if she was stressed or not!... Can't wait to see what she produces!!! She is doing fine so far.. Later that night.. Ok yeah, got a LUX meter in from Amazon.. Not even 24 hours later lol.. And I don't have Prime.. So as of now with the dimmer and the distance from the light to the baby girl.. About 28 inches away from the plant.. The dimmer is hard to judge what percentage you are at, so I nust use the LUX meter.. It is at 16XXX LUX now.. About 400 PAR.. That sounds like alot but I also can't adjust the LUX to go below about 10000 LUX with such a small tent. I went ahead and fed her as well... .3mL/L of CALiMAGic... .3mL/L of FloraMicro... .3mL /L of FloraGro and just 3 drops of Floralicious Plus (about .15mL/L) pH'd down to 6.0. 1 full L and mainly focused on the center of the pot where the roots are which I'm sure isn't more than a taproot at this point lol. But I love growing in coco/perlite. Such an easy, forgiving and also very efficient grow medium!.. And you can reuse the shit multiple times!!!.. She will be big in no time! Can't wait to start tying this bitch down!!! Hurry up! Lol End of FIRST week.. She is growing nicely.. The second set of leaves are coming in and even the third set are pokin out. The medium tends to dry kinda fast.. But using the 3-in-1 meter, it says the medium is nice and moist down below. Tomorrow (which is beginning of second week) I'm going to go ahead and use 3L of plain pH'd water. The last time the runoff was coming out almost 800 PPM.. Plus I need the runoff pH to go down some. But she is doing great! On to the next week!!!...

Grow Questions

Professor_Chaosstarted grow question 4 years ago
I used FloraKleen to flush my coco/perlite medium in between veg and bloom. Since then, I have fed, flushed, fed, flushed, etc.. Going in, 700 - 800 PPM but runoff is 300 - 400 PPM... Is the FloraKleen still in there, should I do a massive flush? WTF!?

Professor_Chaosanswered grow question 4 years ago
General Hydroponics emailed me.. I was NOT supposed to use FloraKleen to flush it at this time.. It's only meant to be used for pre-harvest flush.. And that's it! *when it comes to growing in coco coir*... I've been only feeding (without plain watering in between) until the runoff PPM is close enough to matching the PPM going in.. It took about 12 days.. The plant didn't seem to mind. But yeah.. Had to answer my own question.. Once again..

Professor_Chaos
@Outsider, Lol yes the "oh shits" were definately in there.. I have forgot to weigh some of my older diaries.. But this one will be weighed for sure! She's been drying for 3 days so far! In the past I've had issues with drying too quickly.. But so far she seems like she is going to be right on point! At least 7 days drying if not more.. I just checked on her now.. Smelled some of the colas and brushed some on my upper lip (accidentaly.. kinda lol).. As I'm typing this I can still smell her! Such a lovely lady! Gonna be a little while for a taste test and experience test tho. But it will ALL be updated as it happens! Thanks for checkin out my lovely lady!

@Professor_Chaos,yeah I saw it in your diaries, but this one is really beautiful, it's so good to see a such weed!!
Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaos
@skyzohpanda, She is gorgeous asf! Ive tried 2 other strains that were supposed to purple like this one.. They only changed at the end like alot of strains already do.. 3rd is a charm, I guess! I'm VERY happy with her!

@Professor_Chaos, Good luck!! also first time with fastbuds and im so surprised! if u dont mind check out my diary
Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaos
@livetogrowgrowtolive, Thanks growmie!!! She was a little finicky for me... But she did some AMAZING things! Got about 20 days left before I chop.. At least thats what I'm aiming for.. But will go longer if needed.. She should fatten up a bit more.. First time with FastBuds and wow.. They got down with this one! Cant wait to try more of them!

my my! if I can get the fade you got!!!! I'm gonna do Ripen Next week then maybe do a week of Kleen like you did. I havent used the flush yet but your diary inspires me!!!
Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaos
@MrHightimes, Thanks! She was a fun plant to grow. In fact, it's kinda depressing when I look in the tent and I don't see all that purple lol. Got a few more of these seeds tho. Definately a strain to grow more than once! The smell.. Just.. Wow is all I can say

@PrairieFrostGrow, Thanks! She smells amazing too! May feed for 1 more week and begin the 2 week flush! I couldn't be happier with her! Just updated this week with some new pics and a video.. And will be beginning next weeks update tomorrow! Thanks for tuning in! She is an amazing girl, that's for sure!

She’s looking really nice, the colours on her are amazing!!! I’m fairly jealous that mines not showing even the slightest hint of purple 😓, saying that Iv never smelt a strain as lemony in my life!
Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaos
@PersonalSmok3s, Thanks growmie! Ibhad a Sweet Seeds strain.. Bloody Skunk.. That was supposed to turn red/purple.. But didnt till later in flower (as most strains already do at the end of flower) but the stems turned very red.. I'm almost for sure its a pheno thing.. If you try that strain again I bet it will.. Purple strains are so pretty!

All of my PL frmo fastbuds turns yellow during transition. No idea what the problem with this genetic is, but could be sulfur. I haven't figured it out though.

Professor_Chaos
@densesensi, Weird.. I had a Berry Ryder from Auto Seeds do fine until transition.. She needed alot of calmag. I guess that transition is just a crucial time for the ladies

More runoff would be my comment as well. Not getting enough runoff will lead to lockout issues. Media will show a rising ppm and pH will drift higher and higher. My experience. Cheers and keep up the dedication Growmie😀
Professor_Chaos
Professor_Chaos
@PrairieFrostGrow, Yeah, I'm using 3 Liters once daily.. I get about 1/2 - 2/3 of a Liter in the runoff.. That should be plenty I would think.. General Hydroponics says 5% - 25% runoff. Also says to use just plain water every 1 - 3 waterings.. I just do water, feed, water, feed.. Just to avoid the salts building up.. But even today, I watered with just pH'd water and the runoff is still coming out a bit high.. Not too too high.. But still makes me a little nervous lol I'm not seeing any issues with the lady, so I'm just gonna make sure it doesn't go up higher but still try to bring it down a bit.. Thanks for the comment, growmie!
