My first grow :)
Read a ton of info on the internet and decided to go with Fast Buds Orange Sherbet Auto because I like fine smoke with that kind of taste. We will see if it delivers... and if I deliver ;)
From glass of botteled water to 20L pots.
- Each pot soaked with 3l of ph'd set to 6.5ph and with 12ml Canna Cannazym.
- Seed planted 1,5cm deep and sprayed with ph'd water with mister around the seed.
- Humidifier outside of the box to keep RH around 60%.
- Extraction fan turned off to help keep humidity up - set up to only turn on if temps go over 29C.
FAST BUDS ORANGE SHERBET
POTS - 2 X (5 gallon ~ 20L) smart pots
SOIL - Plagron light mix 75% + Perlite 25%
LIGHTING - CFL 2 BULBS X 32W (running 24h because of heat)
HUMIDYFIER - 300ml/h cold mist - used because of low RH (only 40% with the soaked airpots inside the box)
HUMIDITY - 65%-80%
TEMPS - 22c at the bottom of the pot, 25c at the top of the pot

Three seeds soaked in glass of bottled water for 10 hours and then...
12.01.2021. 22h
2/3 seeds droped in the soil 1.5 cm deep. Sprayed with water over the soil where the seed is planted. And the third seed placed in wet tissue for reserve if one of the other two seeds do not germinate.
13.01.2021.
Lightly spraying 3-4 times a day surface of the soil over the area where the seeds have been planted because cfl's are drying the surface of the soil fast because bulbs are only 10cm from the soil.
15.01.2021. 6:40am - DAY 1
Both seedlings in pots popped their heads above soil :) . Backup seed in wet towel germinated also, so 100% germination rate :).
15.01.2021. 16:00h - DAY 1
Soil felt really dry on the surface and 3cm beneath the top so watered with 0.5L per plant only around the edges of the pots and misted whole surface of the soil so it don't dry out completely.
17.01.2021. 7:00am - DAY 3
CFL bulbs dropped to 5cm from the top of the seedling because they started stretching a little. Misted the surface of the soil once 21:40h
18.01.2021. 15:00h - DAY 4
Watered around the edges of the pots with 250ml of bottled water, with canna rhyzotonic 1ml and canna cannazym 1ml, per plant and misted the surface of the soil to make it not dry out completely.
18.01.2021. 22:30h - DAY 4
Reset the cfl height to 7cm from plant tops.
20.01.2021. 23:00h - DAY 6
Cfls were too close at 5cm. Leaves look a little dry and blistered. Reset cfls to 13cm from plant top to let them rest a little. Tomorrow maybe I replace cfls with 250W Metal Halide full spectrum... not sure about the distance from plant to bulb for Metal Halide ?! Maybe 50cm for starters hmm...?
21.01.2021 23:00h - DAY 7
Both plants recovered and started growing again. Tomorrow they will be a week old :) . Tomorrow I will be trying 250w full spectrum Metal Halide to see if I can get humidity to be more than 50% without the second humidifier that I am waiting to arrive. I'm trying it at 50cm from the plant tops. I hope this is a good decision because I didn't find any conclusive info about the best distance regarding stretch and not getting them burned because they are so young.
Good luck with it brother, looking at trying some fast buds myself.
Don't know wether to get Orange Sherbert like you or the Jack Herer.
The one you have is supposed to be a monster yielder and heavy THC content
@BOBanMARLIjanovic, Please do my man. I wonder if I can win 'Diary of the Month', if enough people go to my diary to see what not to do ππ
Anyway, best of luck bro
@BOBanMARLIjanovic, Yes i am a bit limited with a open 600w reflector π But tying her down and adjusting lst everyday now. Really explosives growth now in week 4, and early preflower. The for advice broππ±
@SOBIESLAW, could be better but thanks π. I see you are growing orange sherbet also. Good luck and watch out for the stretch if you dont have a lot of vertical space π
