~ 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! 💪😎🤙

Started up the UV lights, set to turn on for an hour in the middle of each day's light cycle. These additional wavelengths being absorbed will add flavor, and the plants will also respond to the radiation by stimulating resin production. Flowering is really starting to kick into gear, looking and smelling better every week, and I'm hoping for some real chunkiness on those stems come harvest. Been doing a bit of semi-flushing my medium with PH'd water as my runoff ppm's have been getting a bit high, suggesting a little salt buildup. The Amnesia's been doing well, with its striking haze-y terp profile showing strongly as its buds continue to swell. The Gorilla blue has only four larger colas, and has otherwise basically formed into a kind of blueberry bush style structure, with small sparkling nuggets densely blanketing the canopy. The Lemon Cheese is looking frosty as all hell, with many medium sized colas additionally packed densely together and continuing to develop. The Purple Queen is getting purply and has a ton of large colas, looking like an absolute dream, and still with a solid three or four weeks of flowering time to go. Only time will tell what is the true quality of these genetics. But it's been a fun ride so far. Cheers, World

​🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 – "Spirit" (Plante #2) – Floraison Initiale ​Date du jour : 20/05/2026 Âge de la plante : J+46 (Semaine 7) Taille actuelle : 94 cm (avec LST + SCROG) Évolution : +32 cm depuis la dernière mesure (Malgré le tricotage sous le filet !) ​Grand déménagement réussi ! La Permanent White Marker ayant libéré l'espace, j'ai enfin pu installer Spirit et sa sœur dans leur nouvelle tente. Et le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est qu'elle a explosé. ​📊 État de Santé & Évolution de la Structure ​Un monstre de vigueur : Spirit affiche une structure tout simplement monstrueuse. Même si sa sœur prend énormément de place en largeur dans la tente, Spirit a décidé de s'exprimer en hauteur. Malgré le LST intensif et l'installation du filet de SCROG pour essayer de la contenir, elle dépasse largement sa sœur jumelle. ​Stade de Floraison : La transition est bien confirmée, nous sommes en plein début de floraison. Les premiers pompons se forment et sont recouverts de magnifiques pistils bien blancs et vigoureux. ​Le défi de la hauteur : C’est la grosse bataille du moment ! Avec le pot surélevé, le haut de la plante culmine désormais à 1m35 du sol. Mon plafond étant bas, la marge de manœuvre devient critique : il ne me reste plus que 20 cm de battement maximum avant de toucher le haut de la tente. ​⚙️ Paramètres Environnementaux & Culture ​Lumière : Toujours à 75% d'intensité. En raison de sa poussée verticale incontrôlable, la canopée ne se trouve plus qu'à 37 cm de la lampe. Je surveille de très près pour éviter tout stress lumineux ou thermique. ​Climat : Températures maintenues à 24°C le jour et 21°C la nuit. ​Humidité en hausse : L'hygrométrie est montée à 60%, ce qui est un peu haut pour ce stade. C'est sûrement lié à la présence des Autopots et du réservoir principal dans la même pièce. Pour redresser la barre et sécuriser la floraison, j'ai mis en route le déshumidificateur. ​Arrosage & Nutrition : J'ai coupé l'arrivée d'eau du système Autopot hier. L'objectif est de laisser le substrat s'assécher légèrement afin de pouvoir lui administrer manuellement son premier boost de floraison : le Bio PK 5-8 de Biotabs. le 21/05 Apport de 0,75 cl d'eau avec 4 ml de PK 5-8 biotabs PH 6,3 ​📝 Résumé de la situation ​Le phénotype de Spirit est impressionnant de puissance, mais il va falloir continuer à tricoter fermement les branches les plus hautes sous le filet de SCROG si le stretch ne s'arrête pas rapidement. Les signaux sont au vert : les pistils sortent massivement et la plante déborde d'énergie. Le passage au PK 5-8 va venir nourrir cette structure massive pour maximiser la formation des têtes. ​Pour éviter toute confusion dans mes prochains suivis, sa figurine fétiche veillera sur le pot jusqu'au cut ! 🙏 Remerciements ​Un immense merci à @mia_biotabs et à Mrs_Larimar pour votre accompagnement et vos précieux conseils qui me permettent de dompter ce monstre vert, ainsi qu'à tous les passionnés qui partagent cette aventure avec moi depuis le premier jour. ​Suivez l'évolution de Spirit, la suite s'annonce chargée en résine ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looks better

updating

Hello everyone 😎 Week 4 for my girl She is doing very well,growing at fast pace and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves. Have a nice day

It's doing well, the scent is getting stronger, it's flowering beautifully, and it seems to be growing much better than the first one, which suffered from the climate and other factors. 12/12 from seed Watering with filtered tap water every 2/3 days, when the pot is lighter, 500-1000ml Soil: peat, coconut powder, perlite, carbonized rice husk, sheep manure and worm humus. essential mineral mix, vegetable flours, vegetable cakes, biochar, bokashi EM1 and other organic inputs, Algae ascophyllum nodosum small pots 3,7liters // 1gallon light: lm301h-evo 120watts with other plants

Monkey berries is finished up in 55 days flushed too 0.0 EC . The colours are so beautiful!! She’s went quite purple for me the trichomes are thick what a killer strain to go it was my first exotic mikes genetics looking forward to the next run with exotic genetics.. stated flushing the slurrican IX yesterday she be chopped by day 60 . One last update coming of the final grow in a week or so .. happy growing

Week 1 of my little bulb experiment. Plant is growing pretty well and the early structure seems sturdy. I don’t know what Im going to do for light once it out grows the Feit 9W. May just leave it in the window.

😊😊😁💪🏿☝️🏿

She smells really nice this is her last week will be picking her in the next day or two

Week 6 flower, half way there! Buds are starting to fill in now and getting some decent frost. A couple of tops are getting more light than others, and fattening a bit more and looking real nice. It looks like there is some purple starting to come out at the tops. Also spotted some discolouration on a few leaves closest to the light, so I turned the one light down to 60-75%, no need to push it at this point and burn her up! She will go as fast as the soil and environmental conditions will allow her to. Hand watered in Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed Extract 0-0-17, otherwise water drip is running on same schedule. Just using straight tap water that sits in a 30 gallon reservoir with a submergible water pump running 24/7 breaking surface and aerating water. Water comes out the tap @ 7ph and less than 15ppm. So I don’t do nothing to it, I drink it:) Thanks for the view 🤜 Have a great week!

Woot woot Fast Flower began to bloom, the rest of the photos are still in veg, not sure why but she’s checking every box on my list, she’s fast, smells great, blooms fast, looks healthy! What else can I ask for? Looks like she will yield beautifully! I defoliated the bottom yellow leaves, gave her another round of nutes and that’s about it for now, almost all of my plants are the same size.

Popped them straight into rockwool, 9 days later they all emerged just adding a few drops of water every couple of days

13.9. - Flush week started 😎 16.9. - Watered 💧 19.9. - Watered 💧 13.9. - 19.9.2024

This plant just keeps amazing me every week. Lots of healthy new growth every week. She is starting to throw out pistils now so flowering is coming soon 😀😀. I may have to tie her down some more but we will see how the stretch plays out. Onward 😎🍿🍻🌱

Crescendo rápido e forte sem nenhum sinal de estresse + 1 ventilador vertical, na estrutura + 1 ventoinha de mesa

En el centro de Chile hay una ola de calor donde las temperaturas llegan a las 34°C. Las plantas están resistiendo el calor y la baja humedad. El riego ha sido más frecuente.
