And we're back with 5 more brand new strains from the Original FastBuds line. One bean in each pot and after using 3 different methods I still have 100% germination. That means every seed of theirs I've ever planted has come up. Pretty awesome. Thanks to Heather and the FastBuds team for the seeds. Also big shout out to Vivi and the Parfactworks team for sending the new HB1500 to test out. Its an upgrade from the RA series with their SMDs and Sosen driver. This baby features the new Samsung diodes and a Meanwell driver. Its fully dimmable and bright AF when its at 100%. Love it...

Also all nutrient ratios are shown as tsp/gal but you must sub tbsp to make it work for you. Basically add a 70/30 veg/bloom mix at a ratio of 2tbsp/gal of medium. So with our slightly low soil levels we're likely at 3.5 gal of medium. That's a combo of 7tbsp for each plant. I use 1 all purpose, 4 veg, and 3 bloom per pot with 1/2 cup worm castings. Then just water at pH 6.5-6.8 to keep those microbes happy and thats it. Happy growing...
Anyways this was the last lady to come up and she seems to be the runt. She's only an inch tall with a black stem(?) and some tiny little leaves while the other have 2 sets of true leaves. Reminds me of the Critical Thunder in the last batch that ended up being huge... like 3 ft and 7oz dry yield. We shall see what happens...
So this one is looking like it may not be taking like all the others. Dries out quickly but doesn't seem to like water. Yellowish and very slow new growth at this point. Barely any progress on second true leaves. Most likely gonna try this again with my new strains from the vlogger contest and the other 4 strains FastBuds sponsored. Hopefully it'll take off but we shall see...
Close to giving up on this little lady here. Its been almost 2 solid weeks without any kind of significant growth yet she just will not seem to die off. I'll give it another week but if there's nothing to report by feeding day I'm not gonna waste the nutrients. We shall see...

We have a mutie here. I gave it one last week to do something and it sprouted a couple of tops on its own. I didn't top dress this one yet so we shall see how it turns out...

Still letting this do its thing just so I can compelete this tester diary and have a little something to review. Looks like maybe two buds if we're lucky. Gotta try again later for a stable plant with a respectable yield. Oh well we shall see...

She actually hit a nice little spurt this week. Gotta feed her lil mutie self asap and hopefully her preflower stretch will set her up to actually yield a decent sample. We shall see...

Nothing to report. Death in the family this week and its all I can do not to let these testers die. They all spend 3 days in the dark with no water so how they fare after we shall see...
Light topdress late in week...
