FastBuds Mystery Seed #1:
She has been topped twice and is looking pretty strong 💪 She has grown vertically, and leaves are always praying. Possibly too much light, so I have turned the dimmer down to about 90%. There are slight bleached tips on a couple of top leaves.
I'm hoping to do the same LST with garden wire here very soon.
Overall, the plant has nice big, fat leaves. Seemingly lush colour and vigorously growing since the double toppings. Very nice plant so far. 👌

This week has been so busy in the garden!
I forgot to take any notes, so I'll see what I can do from memory! 😅
14.4.25:
I have been super busy with all the other harvests in the past several days, so this is a little late.
FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has been topped twice and the growth has been thick and lush.
I watered several times this week, and I used Ecothrive Biosys with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4.
I watered about 2 litres to each plant.
I have been using wire, clips, and Bio stretch fabric plant ties to LST the plant.
The plant has reached the 8 Gallon pot perimeter. The plant is in the first week of flower. I'm hoping to keep the canopy even with my RQS Northern Lights grow as I need to be able to compare the plants accurately for the experiments.
I did snap off a branch, again the day after I said I'd be very careful 😖
The plant is very resilient though, and you wouldn't know anything happened at all, minus one of the first tops is missing. Thankfully I topped twice, so I still have 5 tops.
Training Techniques used this week are LST and defoliation.
I watered on 13th and 14th with the following solution;
4 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which contained:
♡ 8 ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids
♡ 1/2 Teaspoon Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients.
PPM: 1000.
2 litres were given on two consecutive days. I watered in a top dress, which I will add what I used here, but it was another mess up, I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear 😅
Top dress:
4 gallons containing approximately:
50% Canna Terra Mix soil
25% Worm Castings
23% Perlite
2% Organic Dry Amendments, which were;
☆ Ecothrive Life Cycle
☆ Ecothrive Charge
☆ Diatomaceous Earth
☆ Ground Cinnamon
☆ RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules
I used the top dress amount for established plants for a pot size of 30L / 8 Gallons.
I'm not keen on the soil. I was supposed to get Canna Coco but I got sent Canna Terra in error.
It was overdue for a top dress and I had nothing else to use. I don't like it in comparison. Coco is best for my needs. It's much fluffier, lighter, and easier to work with.
Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂
