FastBuds did it right with this one.. Besides the nitrogen toxicity (I blame General Hydroponics for that since the FloraMicro has so much in it) she did wonderful! Gorgeous colors! Gorgeous smell!!! Epic strain.. I couldn't be happier! I should have lollipopped some also.. Alot of airy nugs on the bottom but the top of the colas are lookin nice. Still not dense.. But I think that comes from the ruderalis genes. Still going to be some great, exotic looking bud!

Reviews. Nutrient
Love these but too much notrogen in the micro.. Lower that shit for the nitrogen sensitive girls!.. Also I ONLY use the ArmorSi (Silica) in vegatative stage.. I DO NOT use ArmorSi in flowering/blooming/ripening stages.. Just seems pointless and unsafe to do so. Also, the FloraKleen bottle says it can be used in soil or coco coir for removing excess salts and other build-ups.. And after using, you go back to your normal feeding schedule.. But it seemed to KEEP removing my nutrients as I was trying to put them back in (according to my runoff) and I emailed General Hydroponics and they said I should NOT have used it unless I was flushing for harvest... So ehy does the bottle say it's ok?? I don't know.. But luckily I was able to flush the remaining FloraKleen out before my lady started showing any signs of deficiency!.. So there's that, I guess.. But.. IF YOU ARE IN SOIL OR COCO COIR, DO NOT USE FLORAKLEEN UNLESS YOU ARE ABOUT TO HARVEST!!! FLORAKLEEN IS ONLY MEANT TO BE USED FOR THE PREHARVEST FLUSH!!! DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!!! LOL.. but other than all that I will keep using General Hydroponics Flora Series along with the CALiMAGic, and FloraNectar.. Love the FloraNectar! Great stuff!!! As for the Floralicious Plus.. Idk.. Not sure if it made anything different this run.. But I'm sure it may help somewhere, somehow.. But not going to buy a $21 USD 8oz bottle of it, thats for sure.. I like the little 1oz bottles cuz 5 - 7 drops is all you need. Plus is smells awful.. Like actual fish diarrhea lol no lie..
Great stuff as usual!
Reviews. Lamp
Great light for sure!
Reviews. Tent
They just came out with the 24"×24"×55".. I love it cuz I now have a few extra inches to raise my light if needed! Great tent.. You guys dont have it in the options yet tho!

HARVEST DAY!!!.... What a beautiful plant.. I can't wait to give her a taste.. Was expecting to push her another week.. But a closer look showed that there were alot of amber already.. Kinda hard to see them against the purple calyxes along with with the Mars Hydro TS 1000 on as well.. But she should be perfect! Oh I cant wait!!! Will be updating with the drying and curing as I go!!! So happy!!! 😭😭😭 Drying - Day 4... Ok so humidifier is definately not needed this time lol.. For a couple days the room and box were at 70% so I took the water and filter out of the humidifier and just running it as a fan to help move the air around the small room its drying in.. The box also has a very small and weak computer fan which is just pulling the air out SLOWLY but SURELY.. Now the humidity inside the box has been reading 66% constantly for the last 2 days! This will be my first harvest that doesnt dry in 3 - 5 days without a humidifer! Maybe cuz I watered that morning?? Idk.. But this is much better.. Hoping for at least a 7 day dry.. 10 or 12 would be nice.. But I doubt that very much lol.. Anyways.. Will still be updating as I go!!! Drying - Day 5... So I went ahead and trimmed all the smaller nugs and colas.. Leaving the 3 biggest colas (back of the box) to trim in the morning tomorrow. I wish I would have lollipopped some.. Alot of larfy, leafy nugs.. But still gonna smoke that shit! Lol.. Took about 2.5 hours to trim what I did today.. Keeping the trim (duh) to make some bubble hash.. Or maybe just gather the keif and press it.. Haven't made up my mind on that yet.. Either way it's gonna be some epic shit! The smell is still so amazing! You could probably fuck up the drying and curing and still smell the citus! Lol.. But I will still keep updating as I go! Drying - Day 7.. I went ahead and put some smaller nugs into a jar to see what they were reading.. Still way too high.. In about 8 hours it was reading 84% RH so they still got at least a couple more days drying. Drying - Day 8... Ok so I was feeling the nugs I already trimmed and jarred.. They feel pretty crispy. So I'm jarring them again today. I have trimmed up 2 more of the bigger colas but I can feel that they still have some moisture.. So later today I'm going to finish trimming up the last one (which is gonna be awful lol it has alot of smaller branches that are gonna be very tedious) but that one is gonna have to be left out to dry a little longer than the rest. As of now, I have 3 jars filled.. I may even need to buy another jar.. I really wish I had some big mouth mason jars so I can buy those lids for curing! Those things look legit asf! Later that night... So I have now finished trimming.. The jars that I had already filled were reading 62% RH on the dot.. I like to have it at 65% - 68% RH to have some room to get it down to 62% after a week or two.. But this shouldnt be any issue.. Will add 62% packs when the jars get below 60%.. But since they are already at 62%.. I dont want to burp very often at all.. 62% RH is where I like my bids at. I have a sandwich bag FULL of trim.. That is gonna make some amazing bubble hash! Very airy bud.. But this strain is very beautiful.. Smells great.. Just the airy buds.. Will definately grow again.. Will update with a taste test in 15 - 30 days.. Would rather get the cure done before I taste her.

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!?

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..

@Outsider, 85 grams.. More than I've yielded with an auto before.. Wish I would have lollipopped.. But live and learn lol

Professor_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@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!

@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!

@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!

Professor_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@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_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@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.

@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_Chaoscommented4 years ago
@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!
