~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2204 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/29- Here we go into Week Four of Vegetation but I'm somewhat relieved that they haven't started flowering yet as they are only 5" & 6" respectively so some more time to grow is a good thing right now! It's been a month since these pretty ladies popped out of the ground and other than being short, they are both looking perfect! The #1's 4g Gronest pot was heavy when lifted as was the #2's 3g Wraxly pot and they both looked happy, so I skipped watering today and will check them tomorrow morning after the lights come on. Since being topped for the first time a week ago, they both have two new shoots that are emerging and have new growth sprouting out all over with extremely tight node spacing making them definitely Indica dominate, and will most likely result in very short stocky cultivars from this strain which would be ideal for someone with limited grow space. 😎💚 Both of these girls are extremely healthy with excellent vigor and color and I can't wait to see if they get any taller and for them to begin flowering! 🧐💚 12/31- Today was a 'dry day and all I did was refill the humidifier and some canopy maintenance, tucking shade leaves and gently bending branches. It's been a little over four weeks since they were planted in their amended medium and it's time to give their microbes a good feed so they can continue to provide them with all the macro and micro nutrients they need so, yesterday they got a good watering with 0.5g of de-chlorinated water with GreenGro's Veg, Flower, Green Aminos, Natures Brix and Granular Myco added to it @ 1.5 tsp/g and then ph'd to 6.4 @ 73℉. Still no signs of flowering on either tester but I anticipate it will be any day now! 01/02- Yesterday I finally saw signs of flowering on the #1 tester! The #2 is still a no-show but as short as she is it's probably for the best! Today I watered them from the bottom with 0.5g of de-chlorinated water to which I added 3ml/g of Earth Juice OilyCann cal-mag to prevent any Cal-Mag issues they may encounter before they arrive. I also have the HLG 650R set 36" above canopy and it's set at 60% power which is being controlled by a Trolmaster HydroX controller. The tent environment is on point with temp's running 70 when the light's off and 74℉ with the light on. I'm keeping the RH at 55-60% right now but will drop it as flowering progresses. Finally, I've been keeping the VPD in the tent running 0.85 - 1.05 which I'm happy with! 01/04- They have both been doing really well getting watered every other day and yesterday they received 0.5g each of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of Fish Head Farms Fish Sh!t Soil Conditioner which was then ph'd to 6.3 @ 72℉. The #1 tester is on her fourth day of flower and looking great! Because she's so bushy and was getting choked with growth, I removed a few shade leaves to open her up and get some light penetration down into her canopy. The #2 tester has yet to show any signs of going into flower which I won't be concerned with unless it persists for another week or so, at which point I'll make a decision on how to deal with her. 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Thought my growth was stunted but I came back from a 5 day vacation to some pretty consistent growth. Also the one from last week with the weird growth came out looking normal after the first couple leaves.

Good start for 1st diary.. Good grow!

Nice growth this week, lst from last week resulted in more cola growth. Readjusted lst for even canopy. Both showing sex, treating as pre flower and starting to transition into bloom nutes with a light feed.

these two ladies I hope are not going to get any bigger, but now into bud.

Today was a very cold night. Temperatur changes from 30°c to 20°c. U can tell that by looking at her leaves. usally it should change when the Temperatur gets higher again. Nothern Lights putting that work into buds now🌺👷‍♀️( Day 43) watered both northern lights 1500ml and on each plant .needed nutrients so the leaves show me.( Day 45) Watered today: NL#1 1000ml 1mlCalmag 1ml AlgAMix NL#2 1000ml 1mlCalmag 1ml AlgAMix SB#1 1000ml 0.7 Calmag 1ml AlgAMix SB#2 1000ml 0.7 Calmag 1ml AlgAMix (Day 45) Watered more due already dry soil NL 2.5L 1ml BG 1ml Bb .5 Calmag SB2 1L water Sb1 1L 1Bg 0.3 Calmag (Day 46) Watered today Northern lights 2 L SB 2 - 2L SB 1 2L 0,5ml Grow and Bloom. (Day 48)

Really coming on now. Some buds might have light damage :( really putting on weight now though. Pepe is very uniform but getting smooshed into door. For later. Watching trics now but all looks on schedule. Starting to get excited now. Thanks for looking ☮️

Day 66 harvest. Small but mighty

Blüte Tag 50. Die letzten Wochen sind angebrochen, deshalb habe ich das Licht auf 60% runter gedimmt. Für die Lemon Orange und die Grapefuel Gelato werden es wohl noch 1-2 Wochen werden. Amnesia und KISS werden wohl noch 2-3 Wochen brauchen, wobei es so aussieht als würde die Amnesia noch vor der KISS fertig. Alle bekommen für 2 Tage nur Wasser, damit sie anfangen in den Herbst-Modus zu wechseln. Danach werde ich die Trichome mal prüfen, um zu sehen, wie lange die einzelnen Ladies noch ungefähr brauchen. Wenn sie mehr als eine Woche brauchen, bekommen sie erstmal wieder Dünger.

Leider war von Tag 13 bis 16 vermutlich das Licht 24/7 an. Hoffentlich werden die Pflanzen nicht zwittern.

Well she just keeps surprising me I thought she was close but she just keeps getting bigger and thicker and stinkier so he’ll yeah. She is getting some beastie blooms nothing else at this point.

Okay had to start 2 purple strains one of them being LSD-25 and the other Blackberry in the second journal. I still have 2 open air pots filled to the brim with fox farm ocean forest, froggy frog, and coco choir in approximately a 2:1:1 ratio. I'm still anticipating the unreleased strains from fastbuds fingers crossed. I placed both these girls taproot down right before the Eclipse. Day 1 above ground: August 23rd. I like to stretch them early to allow for more room for watering since I like to bush them out. Stretching them early allows for a long strong stem and hopefully sets the precedent for future growth rate. Stretched them out s littlllllle too much haha forgot my light was in 50%. No harm no fail. I'll take better pics when they take off.

New journal with a New EcoLED 800w Draw LED light. Running a previously grown strain of Inzane in the Membrane. With the new lights ill be focusing on increasing my yield. 9 plants in a 4x4 dual level scrog. These clones have been vegged for a month or longer and have been placed into my 12/12HR flower tent. Lights are sitting stationary about 3 feet above the canopy. Plant height is sitting at Ive recently discovered some spider mites in another grow area. I do not believe they are in this section. But i will be treating the area over the next couple weeks with 2 treatments of End-All. Also will be using Dr Doom Fogger with a 7.5sec spray every 4 days for a couple weeks.

17/12 se realiza fertiriego. 19/12 se podan los 2 primeros nudos, se hace poda apical y se transplanta de 1 a 3L con aplicacion de micorrizas

End of week 4 and they are smelling strong and pumping up. Getting frostier by the day . Max light now and cooler temps through the bulk up . The slightly smaller pots seem to run out of nutes fast but I’m a livht feeder so there’s some lighter leaves . Still putting out and popping off . Let’s goo

Giorno 65 Ad oggi ho tagliato le due Rainbow Belts (qualche giorno prima per esaltarne il gusto Zkittlez) e le due Zombie Kush una al giorno 58 l'altra giorno 63. Rimane questa bestia di Milk Monkey. Sento biscotti sento vaniglia ma sento anche dell'acido. Mai avuto cime così piene di resina. Mamma mia che spettacolo di banca semi questa Exotic Genetics (meglio spendere qualche euro in più e avere erba che vale 20/25euro al grammo che spendere poco per avere erba commerciale) Saluti e a settimane prossima 🖐️ ❤️
