Started using a fish 5-1-1 (one Tbs /gallon) twice a week with a general 3-2-2 (1oz/gallon). Noticed some holes in leafs starting from underneath, had seen this a little last week and trimmed those leafs off or at least most of them. I notices different leafs were affected and was worried it mite be spider mites. In response I mixed 3 essential oils (Cedar Mint, Peppermint, & Melaleuca Oil) with some water (pH 6.25) but did not check the ph of the mixture in the spray bottle. I sprayed the leaves and underneath the leaves and the surrounding environment in the tent. May have put too many oils in the the spray or perhaps the mixtures pH was way off because when I went to check on them again the leaves looked sick. I haphazardly trimmed off the leafs that were ill looking but left the ones that were not as effected and were not drooping. Hopefully the defoliation will inspire Runtz (one with rocks) to grow more branches/ potential bud sights as well as to inspire Blue Cookies (Middle ) to spread out her branches some more to increase surface area. Team Cream (Left-side) was affected the least from the spray and didn't have to prune more than a leaf or two. Team Cream is definitely consuming the most water of the three, being potted first and was the largest clone initially. She is full of surprises in terms of how I think she'll grow. None the less she is responding to training fairly well. If I'm not mistaken I would assume she has more sativa traits than the other two due to her wanting to grow in hight opposed toeing bushy and branching out. IDK it might be how I trained her /got her. Runtz is second in water consumption and responds to training the best of the three, although some lower branches are taking time to develop. Blue Cookies is consuming the least amount of water and has the most run off. Possibly due to being potted a day or two later as well as being the smallest of the clones at first and also suffered the most nutrient burn durringthe 1st or 2nd week when I was feeding them too much.

4th week of veg and everything is going beautifully ❤️.. we've been rotating pots every few days or so to encourage them to grow uniformly but 1 of the plants is a bit of a runt..I think its just the way it is..they're all using training ties now and couldn't look happier at the moment, which makes me happy! ❤️🌱..thanks for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! 😽💨

We went a bit crazy this week and got a third lamp. The lights are now at 25 and 30 cm from the tallest plant. According to Sanlight, it's optimal for our tent size and with CO2 added. Also, we added another CO2 bag hanging in the tent. According to the app Photone, which displays the PPFD of the lamps, the PPFD in our tent is around 500. Did some flushing with Cal mag, which we hope helped with the deficiencies seen on the leaves. Either or, our girls seem to be finally growing well and hydrated with the Autopots. New growth seems to be healthy. We had to get a dehumidifier because of the increasing humidity. Currently balancing between humidity and temperature because the winter is getting cold around here. We started doing LST this week. Some of the girls get the stick and some are getting tied up. They seem to be liking it 👹 We are hoping next weekend for a full and healthy canopy, so we can flip the flower.

had a bit of a nightmare. bit much on over water and may have had a nutrient lockout. took one sweet cherry pie out and replaced with seedsman northern lights auto. also added a few more of those in the tent 5th dec. was unfortunate as this week was for topping. went ahead and did it. will be very careful next week. Purple berry Kush came on strong this week. took the nutrients fine. less damage from over water.

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2206 ~ 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: 12/1- I soaked both seeds 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 roughly 24 hours later. 12/3- Today their tap roots were about 1/2 to 3/4" so at 11 am I transferred them into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph using a tine off of a plastic fork as a 'mini trowel' to make a hole in the pellet and to gently cover the tap root, leaving only the seed head slightly exposed. This method accomplishes most of the initial work the seed has to do by eliminating having to orientate itself, push it's root down and head up. By 10pm the #1 seed had her cotyledon leaves opened and the #2 isn't far behind! 12/5- Well this is Day ONE for the #2 FBT #2206 and the second day for her sister! I'll keep them in the covered/heated Jiffy tray until I see their roots beginning to emerge from the peat pellet, then I'll transfer them gently into their respective fabric pots. The #1 will be going into the 4g Gronest pot from FastBuds and the #2 will reside in a 3g pot by Wraxly, which I'm trying out for the first time. 12/7- Yesterday I checked the #1 tester and she had roots starting to emerge from her pellet so I transferred her into her 4g Gronest pot. After making a hole in the medium for the peat pellet, I coated the entire surface with Xtreme Gardening Mycos then placed the pellet in the hole and planted her in. Lastly, I watered her in with about 4oz of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of FishShit added which was then ph'd to 6.4 @ 75℉ after which I placed a humidome over her for 24hrs to ensure that the humidity stays constant. The #2 tester is doing great and I'm confident that she should be ready to transfer into her fabric pot in the next couple of days! 😎💚 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! 💪😎🤙

Well most of them are sick,, some have lost or never had many pistils. It starts to smell a bit now. I still don't know how to deal with collective flushing and harvesting early rippen flowers. Found out the roots were badly burnt,(no slime or foam): 3 of them lost the roots beneath the pot, Jah only knows the state the roots are in. Hoping they won't die before harvest...

Fair amount of LST going on in there. They've been bent over and seem to be liking it. Just before pics were taken they were given some phd cal/mag water due to what I Believe was a slight mag def. starting. Ph is still remaining perfect in FFOF ( Big up dolomite ). PPM's coming out have dropped from 2000 to 1000 in one week so I'm gonna keep an eye on that. I'm watering every 3 days right now as well not every day as the drop down made me choose per day. They seem pretty happy though. I have a feeling they're about to explode. Update: I was right they needed a lil cal / mag and in 2 days yellowing has cleared up and they are absolutely exploding almost doubled in size in 2 days. Also two have started to flower.
