~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2205 ~ 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 these thirsty girls daily with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉ and they're both thriving! The #1 pheno stays in a perpetual state of 'praying'.... a VERY happy girl she is and the #2 is just enormous with tons of bud sites and flowers that are starting to get a coating of white trichomes giving her that frosty appearance! 1/23- I watered/fed both testers today with 0.75g of de-chlorinated water each 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℉. They'll be getting straight water from here moving forward as the medium has enough food in it to support them until they finish. 1/25- Daily watering continued today with both girls receiving 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. Both testers are extremely healthy and in max flower mode. Both testers are looking amazing and always in a constant state of 'praying'! I'm really looking forward to Week Five of flower where these ladies should start to look epic! 😍💚 😎💚 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! 💪😎🤙

Buenas a tod@s!, bueno novena semana de flora de estás runtz x layer cake, seguramente ante última o última semana, les falta nada... La plata está hermosa, más allá de sus hojas marchitas tiene unos frutos super pretos, compactos, pesados y mucha resina... Tanbien ultima semana de nutientes. Aclarando q es mi segundo armario, y sigo teniendo algunos problemas q mejorar, siempre trabajando humildemente, planta humilde y muy hermosas, no tengo experiencia, escucho todas las opiniones, pero eso no me define, me encantan mis plantas y cada día trabajando para q sean mejor.. falta muy poco... Un saludo y buenos humos para tod@s!!! 💨💨🔥😎⚕️💪🏻 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

Nutes were getting a bit high this week so I reduced it for the coming one. Plant is maturing nicely, but not enough couldy trichomes yet. Overall it looks very promising though.

Hi, La sénescence se fait naturellement du fait d’une légère carence en N, j’ai quand même ajouté du Power Clean pour l’accélérer et améliorer encore plus le goût et l’odeur. Les couleurs violettes se propagent petit à petit vers le bas de la #2, et très légèrement sur la #1, comme des reflets. La puissance du panneau LED a été abaissé sur 55% La floraison est prévu pour 7-8 semaines et pourtant j’en suis à 10, sûrement du à la carence post stretch qui a ralentit la floraison et réduit le rendement ; J’ai observé les trichromes le 28/10, ils sont presque tous laiteux et les premiers ambrés arrivent doucement.. A la semaine prochaine 👋

New week for the imperium X She definitely a week behind the other's but still growing i will be leaving this one alone topping and LST wise it's already smaller then the rest so i let this one just grow how it is Made video today enjoy 🤘🏻 See you next week Growmies visit www.marshydro.eu for your best gear and use the PROMO CODE: DEVILSBUD Some info about the Marshydro FC-4800 Superb Quality LED Chips: The whole light is composed of 1206 pcs Samsung lm301b and Osram 660nm chips. More than two times as many LEDs are used to drive the grow lights at low currents and to avoid overdrive. Quality is guaranteed and efficiency is up to 2.8 μmol/j. Even PAR Distribution and High PPFD Output: The multi-light bar design and the densely distributed light chips enable the LED grow lights to achieve the optimum PPFD required for plant growth over the entire effective coverage area. Specifically Designed Spectrum: To ensure even plant growth, blue and red light are enhanced on the basis of a full spectrum combination. Not only does this accelerate plant growth, but it also improves the yield and quality of the plants at the same time. Dimming Daisy Chain Function: The dimming function saves on electricity costs and enables brightness from 10% to 100% for the different stages of plant growth. A single master light can connect up to 30 lights in a daisy-chain system. Business LED Grow Light: The light's wavy heat sink dissipates heat quickly and the IP65 waterproof allows the light to operate in humid conditions. 180° collapsible feature for easier installation. All these features provide favorable assistance for commercial cultivation.

Pulled the shade, gonna take her down tomorrow or tue.(61-62)!

Plants looking super super fire 🌱

They are developing well and the smelling started to be a bit strong with gas terpenes from both strains. I'll keep following the EC and their development to ensure they won't have any blocker. Day 42 - 15/05/2025 🌞 ~900ppfd ⏫🌡️~28°C 💧~49% 📏 40cm distância 3 day later the soil got dry, what it seems the watering cadence based on the pot size. They are going very well. After talk with some friends and reviewing the plant status, I decided to keep follow the nutrient schedule and keep looking at them. Mango Cream and Strawberry Cola 1 stopped stretching and should started the bulking phase, that's why the smelling is so strong. On Strawberry Cola 1, I just remove some leafs that were covering the other branches. I, literally, removed 5 leafs. Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg. EC 1.9 EC Run Off 5.8 PH 6.0 On Mango Cream, I did some defoliation removing the big leafs on the bottom, that was nothing receiving light and probably consuming plant's energy. Then, they can concentrate on the top canopy. Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg. EC 1.9 EC Run Off 6.1 PH 6.0 As Strawberry Cola 2 is one week later than the others. So, it seems going to finish the stretching bloom phase. As Mango Cream, I did some defoliation removing the big leafs on the bottom, also some ones in the middle, that wasn't receiving light and ambushing the middle overlapping the middle nodes. Then, they can concentrate on the top canopy. Watered with 3L of RO water with 4ml of Athena Bloom B + 4ml of Athena Bloom A + 4ml of Athena CaMg. EC 1.9 EC Run Off 5.9 PH 6.0 The defoliation on them also was done to improve the air circulation because my tent increased 1,5-2,0C. degrees with the season changing. Hopefully it can help to reduce a bit. As the previous EC on them were between 5.1 and 6.1, it means that they are ok, consuming the nutrients and not blocked by high EC. Happy news!! Day 45 - 18/05/2025 🌞 ~900ppfd 🌡️~26°C 💧~49% 📏 ⏫45cm distância 3 day later the soil got dry and they are going very well. I'm keeping the strategy this week in order to levelling the EC on them. Seen they sucked a bit their development and some burns started to show on the leaf points, I decided to flush them a bit to correct the EC and continue the nutrients schedule correct. I flushed them with 6L of RO water with PH corrected, each one. They reduced the EC to 2.0~3.4 and I added another schedule nutrients solution. All water schedule below is after the flush. Mango Cream I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK. PH 6.0 EC 1.9 EC Run Off 5.3 Strawberry Cola 1 I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK PH 6.0 EC 1.9 EC Run Off 4.9 Strawberry Cola 2 I watered with 1L of RO water with 2ml of Athena Bloom B + 2ml of Athena Bloom A + 2ml de Athena CaMg + 2ml of Athena PK PH 6.0 EC 1.9 EC Run Off 4.5 I also did some defoliation on Strawberry Cola 2 to improve that light penetration and air circulation. Day 48 - 21/05/2025 They definitely are in the bulk phase. The smell is crazy. My flush strategy was successful and they are eating like a monster now and without any bad signals. Happy with the correction results. I also increased the watering volume. Mango Cream I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse. PH 6.0 EC 2.0 EC Run Off 2.8 Strawberry Cola 1 I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse. PH 6.0 EC 2.0 EC Run Off 2.7 Strawberry Cola 2 I watered with 3,5L of RO water with 5ml of Athena Bloom B + 5ml of Athena Bloom A + 5ml de Athena CaMg + 4ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena Cleanse. PH 6.0 EC 2.0 EC Run Off 2.8 I did a slightly defoliation on the bottom leafs to improve air circulation. This week is working in progress and should be update asap due the plants development. Cheers!🍁🔥

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui con me e la Mimorange 🍊 Le ragazze sono fantastiche nessun segno di stress apprte qualche puntino strano sulle foglie dovuto sicuramente a dei piccoli acari che non riesco a vedere. Ho comunque provveduto a spruzzare loro con una soluzione apposta a base di olio di Neem.🤞 La numero 3 ha raggiunto la sorella numero 2 mentre la pianta numero 1 ha superato loro di almeno 15 cm. Infatti è lei la bestia da 140 cm, con 4 belle apicali da almeno 80 cm.💪🔝 Ho defogliato loro nel giorno 58 e mantengo i nuts costanti fino alla fine👍 Eh niente ragazzi! Siamo giunti al termine della settimana 9 e siamo CAMPIONI D' EUROPA!!!🏆🥇 GRANDI AZZURRI💙 🇮🇹FORZA ITALIA🇮🇹 Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱 🌱

Harvest time, both divine storm ladies did amazing under the Mars-Hydro TSW2000. Pheno 1 was an absolute monster! Huge dense buds!! Pheno 2, while the runt of the grow, also produced impressive buds. Will update in 7-10 days with weight and initial smoke report. Update - April 16 - dry weight of 47 grams on DS2 and 77 grams on DS1. Results are close to round 1 grow, very impressed with the TSW2000 light!

*Grow Diaries* ,you guys are doing a great job this is an awesome sight. Keep up the good work. I love looking at all these different grows and Diaries From great growers. Booco Of different strains with so many Individual techniques.Such beautiful pictures makes it hard to leave the computer. No doubt an Experience every grower should know. Informative & Educational truly a learning experience . I have been growing for a while but never tried to measure document and record a grow Start to finish with pictures. I know this will be helpful for future grows I appreciate the opportunity To participate. THANKS Happy growing! Farmer Joe

7/29/24 week 8. Flipping is around the corner. I have to defoliate before the flip. I added recharge nutrient this week to help the ladies have a quick recovery. I'm only feeding recharge with a 3 gallon res fill. I usually fill up by at least 6 gallons. What are yalls experiences using recharge?

Fed with plain water 6/7/26

….. the energy moves to the flowers💐

Una cepa de fácil crecimiento y resistente al ataque de bichos, humedad alta y climas cambiantes, aunque la cosecha no fue muy abundante debido a su estructura compacta, sería bueno aplicar alguna técnica de crecimiento para obtener más cosecha, una fácil y rica planta medicinal

I'm still not a huge fan of the node spacing, it's much wider than we like, especially near the base, i'm not sure if full intact colas are in our future but these may surprise us.. the main stalks have really toughened up and should be able to handle any weight they put on in the coming weeks..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests friends! 💡🌱❤️😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~ 9/13/21: 😺the plants are looking especially healthy atm, we started adding a little bit of grow solution with bloom about a week ago when their color started to fade, they're now the most perfect shade of green, however we noticed a little clawing on the smallest of the 3 Big Bud..we plan to go back to our regular feeding schedule for flower now that everyone looks good.. there's actually a good amount of nitrogen in our bloom supplement but I guess these are just really hungry plants.. I included a gallon container in one of the pics to provide scale❤️..thanks for reading friends!! ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

Sorry for the lack of posts but been dealing with a huge thrip infestation which is so devastating. Most tents are ruined but still salvageable and IPM on the way before next run! Last photo is what's cooking in the background

No trouble week, didn’t do anything to plants. Flower grow starting week 6, at the rate these girls grow, will need to top a lot, to chop a lot of height before they are ready to move. This week I added 100 litres 100% tap water; 33 grams calcium nitrate 26 grams Jack Hydro 30 grams magnesium sulphate 250mL h2o2 90 mL regen-a-root 100mL mighty growth enhancer 100mL fulvic acid 10mL humic acid

Performed some HST this week. Pics and video were taken 2 days after the bending. I bent the main stalk a little lower than 1/2 way down. She was getting a little closer to the HPS light than I liked (but no signs of light burn). I expect her to stand straight up again in a few days but with a new knuckle at the bend point. Then I'll probably bend her over again 👍
