~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2201 ~ 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 Mars Hydro 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: 1/19- Here we go into Week Four of flower and these testers are ON FIRE!🔥🔥🔥 Both testers are in a flower frenzy and are ready to eat! Today I gave both girls their last top dressing with Down To Earth 4-8-4 Flower Mix at a ratio of 2tbsp/g and Coast of Maine's Stonington Blend 5-2-4 Organic Plant Food at a ratio of 1tbsp/g which I simplified by using 1/3 cup of the 4-8-4 and 1/4 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 4g pot and 3/8 cup of 4-8-4 and 1/8 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 3g pot. After working the amendments into the medium, I watered it in with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. It will take a week for the microbes to begin breaking it down and will last for 3-4 weeks after that which should coincide with them finishing up, or close to it, enabling them to naturally 'flush' themselves out. I've also increased the power to the HLG 650R's the the Trolmaster Hydro X Controller to 75% which has them pulling 990w at the wall and have them hung 32" above canopy. I also starting adding in 4 hours of UVA during the middle of the light cycle for the remainder of flower. I've been monitoring their leaf temperatures and they're running 71-73℉ which is perfect! I have the AutoPilot APC8200 co2 Controller set to 1100ppm with a 100ppm window and the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 controller set to maintain a 74℉ temperature in the tent while the lights are on. 1/21- I'm watering her daily with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉ and she stays in a perpetual state of 'praying'.... a VERY happy girl she is! 1/23- I watered/fed today with 0.75g of de-chlorinated water with GreenGro's Natures Brix, Granular Myco and Flower Finisher mixed in, after which I added 1 tsp/g of unsulfured molasses and then ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉. 1/25- Daily watering continued today with 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. She's looking fantastic and I'm really looking forward to Week Five of flower where she should really start to strut her stuff! 😍💚 😎💚 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! Much love 💚 and Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

👇 This week: --- Watered again as usual with the standard Plagron scheme + Calmag (last feeding with Alga Grow) (PLEASE CHECK YOUR WATER BEFORE USING CALMAG) Phosphorus foliar spray - red stems pretty much gone now PPFD at canopy height approximately 350-400, VPD ~1 Performed a major defoliation again Ordered more Autopots 😂 --- Happy growing and thanks for checking out my report! I really appreciate you! 😁💪🙏

Flowering time outdoor 💜... Happy healthy plants... Grow Your Own!

Ci siamo! Siamo arrivati quasi al traguardo...questi giorni le ragazze sono al loro massimo splendore e l'odore nella stanza e fortissimo! Anche questo aggiornamento è stato fatto grazie all'aiuto di mia madre che gentilmente mi ha tenuto e curato le bambine, sono contento perché sembra che è riuscita a seguire tutte le mie istruzioni e questa volta non ci sono stati problemi...è la prima volta che mi capita di competere in un contest e farmi mandare foto per mail..chiedo scusa se la messa a fuoco non è sempre delle migliori e personalmente non posso chiedere di meglio, è un lavoro che mi serviva e sono dovuto partire lasciando tutto indietro...tornando ai nostri fiori, il green sensation di Plagron devo dire che ha fatto la differenza, contando che il cibo questa volta è stato preparato interamente da me, ha fatto un ottimo lavoro e i fiori sembrano dirlo forte! Cercherò di aggiornare l'ultimo step prima della fine...tra due giorni farò tagliare le ragazze! A presto!!!

Final days and going be chopped and dried! I think she struggled a bit too much without any nutrients in the final days but not too late as well imo.

Week 15 From Seed — Sour Diesel | Part 2 — Cure, Smoke Review & Final Thoughts 🌱 Before starting this final chapter, a quick recap for everyone arriving here for the first time. This entire run was done 12/12 from seed inside a room shared with multiple genetics, different personalities and different expressions. Some girls loved the environment from day one. Others needed more patience, more adaptation and more understanding. And our Sour Diesel… she definitely had her difficult moments. She never fully enjoyed the room conditions the same way some of the others did. While the rest exploded with vigor and stacked aggressively, this girl stayed smaller, more sensitive and a little more demanding. In another environment, another setup or another run focused only on her, maybe she would have shown a completely different side. But that is also part of growing. Not every plant becomes the biggest one in the room. Not every run is about chasing records or numbers. Sometimes the lesson is patience. Sometimes the lesson is resilience. Sometimes the lesson is simply learning when to support instead of giving up. And honestly… I am very glad I kept her alive and trusted the process. From seed until harvest, she received the exact same love as every other plant in the room. Minimal training, only some gentle leaf bending here and there, plants growing naturally into the PPFD provided by the LEDs. Organic and mineral nutrition working together through the Plagron line. Slow development, careful observation and a lot of patience. After harvest, she dried for around 10 days at roughly 18–20°C and 60% humidity before trimming day arrived. Branches were broken down slowly by hand, gloves on, trimming bin on the table and the curved Zamnesia scissors once again becoming absolute heroes during cleanup. Even with a smaller harvest, she still covered the gloves with sticky resin and rewarded us with beautiful finger hash and a nice little collection from the trim bin screen. In total, she delivered 54.2 grams. And honestly? Considering everything she went through… I am genuinely happy with that result. Not every victory is measured only in weight. Sometimes a successful harvest is simply reaching the finish line. After trimming, she went into the Zamnesia vacuum containers for cure alongside some glass jars for comparison. Humidity stayed stable and now, after roughly one and a half to two months of curing, this little jar became one of those “special occasion” jars. The type you do not open every day. The type you revisit slowly. The type you respect because there is not much of it left. And now for the important part… The smoke. This girl is beautiful. Very old-school feeling medicine. Strong diesel and skunky notes immediately hit on the inhale with that nostalgic classic Sour profile many growers still chase today. Sharp, dirty, fuel-like terpenes mixed with that earthy-skunky background that instantly brings memories from older genetics and older sessions. The smoke itself is smooth but expressive. Not aggressive on the throat, but very loud in flavor. And the effect? Completely cerebral. Uplifting, active, creative and socially pleasant while still carrying enough depth to relax the body without knocking it down. This is not couch-lock medicine. This is “sit outside during sunset and watch the world slow down a little” medicine. Perfect for daytime sessions, creative moments, long conversations, walks, music or simply reconnecting with your own thoughts. Very functional while still being powerful. And honestly… probably one of the most nostalgic smokes from this entire run. We also decided to press part of the harvest to see how she behaved as rosin. And yes… mistakes were made 😄 We pressed at around 90°C for roughly 180 seconds and ended up going slightly hotter than ideal. The result came out darker than expected, but still incredibly flavorful and enjoyable. The terpenes remained beautiful, the texture cured nicely and overall it became another great learning experience. That is also part of the journey. You learn. You adjust. You improve. And next press gets even better. One thing I also wanted to share in this final report are some of the macro focus stacks included in the gallery. We have one 99-frame stack, one 160-frame stack, one 222-frame stack and one 255-frame stack. These do not represent the harvest itself. They are artistic and educational macro projects created to showcase the trichomes, textures and structure hidden inside these flowers. Tiny worlds inside tiny worlds. A way to slow down and appreciate details our eyes normally miss. And honestly… this little Sour Diesel deserved that attention. Of course, Mr. Baggy stayed with us the whole way through the process as always. Despite being a blue fluffy assistant with questionable qualifications, his emotional support during trimming, curing and “quality control sessions” continues to be outstanding 😄 As we close this run, I want once again to thank everybody involved. Zamnesia for the genetics. Plagron for the nutrients. FOG and Future of Grow for the lighting. GrowDiaries for the platform and the community. The OG followers. The new followers. The silent watchers. The supporters. The skeptics. The lovers. The haters. The growers. The learners. The teachers. Everybody who stopped by and became part of this journey in one way or another. This run may be finished… But the next adventure is already growing somewhere nearby 🌱

She’s getting a little bigger day by day! Popped when it was pretty cold outside, but it’s has been very hot and humid this past week—- and she loves it!

amazing variety! struck me during the growing season with streaming growth! and of course in bloom! She did not stop growing for a second throughout her life.)) From the beginning in height and then in width)) Well, what else can I say? you see everything.

Siamo all'8 settimana le piante hanno sviluppato fiori ben formati,ora dobbiamo avere pazienza ed aspettare che diventino ancora più grandi,la maggior parte dei pistilli é ancora bianca e le piante ancora verdi,questo significa in grandi linee che la pianta può ancora produrre,incredibile la pianta in fondo a sinistra ha quasi toccato il soffitto,un autofiorente di eccezionali dimensioni,ancora all'inizio della fioritura

*Growdiaries deleted this section (don't ask me why). So everything in this week is from the top of my head (like 2 weeks later): _Environment This week, I went back to watering (gently) to get the soil used to a ‘normal’ assimilation rate again. As a result, the temperature dropped slightly, while the relative humidity increased at the same time (which was of course elevated by the fact that I removed the sand at the end of last week). _Plants + Training Gentle defoliation continued this week. However, it became apparent that Mimosa Cake Auto requires significantly more attention than Gorilla Z Auto, as it grows incredibly densely and intertwines. It also seemed like the Mimosa Cake Auto was about to crack due to the high forces (no space to bend and stretch because everything is just nodes and side branches). *Gorilla Z Auto was ??? cm tall, Mimosa Cake Auto ??? cm. _Organisms As you can see, microbial life is still in full swing. Numerous springtails can be seen (yellow sticky traps), Oribatida are decomposing organic material, etc. _Living Soil To check the most important indicator of healthy soil life, I carried out a pH test this week. This showed a value of 7, which is slightly too high but definitely within an acceptable range. [Living soil should be between 6 and 7, ideally 6.4–6.6.] _(Pre)Flower Mimosa Cake also started showing its first pistils (it seems like both plants are 5 - 10 days apart).

Just finishing up and ripening

Eccoci ragazzi! Nuovo anno, nuovo cambio di ore di luce! La ragazza stava cominciando a crescere bene come la sorella, ma purtroppo avendo più di 2 settimane in meno di crescita, ho dovuto portarla in fioritura ora, altrimenti la sorella sarebbe diventata troppo grande e a furia di fare topping, le radici continua a crescere ed ho paura che diventino troppo grandi e intrecciate, per il contenitore che utilizzo, quindi ho preferito cambiare ora di luce il 31 dicembre, ultimo giorno Dell anno, e nonostante sia piccolina ora ha cmq ancora 2 settimane di pre-fioritura in cui crescera in altezza e larghezza, quindi sono fiducioso che uscirà Dell ottima erba! Grazie sempre a tutti. Voi che continuate a seguirmi! Vi auguro un anno stupendo e che possa essere il migliore della vostra vita! Adoro questo social e molte persone che sono qua sono davvero difficili da trovare dalle mie parti! Un buon 2026 a tutti e un buon 420! 💪😸😽💨❄️🌱🌿🌲🎄🍀❤️

Vienen muy lindas, por ahora solo estirandose sin formar mucho las preflores, al final de la semana que viene planeo hacer defoliacion y poda de bajos

This was a wild ride. Gave way to many nutrients and I realised this way too late, when lock-ups already started to happen. The buds still look very potent, I just think they had way more in em size/potency wise if the nutrients would've been on point. Not growing auto flowers indoor anymore, but I'll deffo be growing this one outdoors this year! The smell is out of this world, #1 smells like tropical fruit juice, #2 more of a candy-sweetness but definitely tropical. Can't wait for ya'll to grow this one!
