~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2203 ~ 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: 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 1/4 to 3/8" 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 ...waiting on the #2. 🧐 12/5- Well this is Day ONE for the #1 FBT #2203 and I anticipate seeing her sister poking her head out real soon! 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 tomorrow I'll transfer her into her 4g Gronest pot. The #2 tester has finally made an appearance and this will be Day One for her! She looks 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! 💪😎🤙

All is good.. NPK on point. Staying on top of it.☘️

Going to have great good grow only premium Milk Solids Big champion Plant. Household mothers hidden formula. Coming more tomorrow week. Good Luck me!

Wow, schöne große Buds, viel Frost und keinen Plan wann ich ernten soll. Die Buds sehen gut aus, die Trichome sind alle milchig, kaum noch klare. Der Geruch seit gestern ist Hammer, sehr stark nach Zitrusfrüchte. Licht habe ich auf 12/12 Std. umgestellt um die Pflanze noch etwas zu stressen. Morgen noch einmal mit Dünger gießen und in drei Tagen spülen. Für Tips zum richtigen Erntezeitpunk wäre ich dankbar. ‐‐---------------- Hab gestern alle Pflanzen gespült, es hat ihnen gut getan. Die Buds sind tatsächlich etwas gewachsen und dicker geworden. Die Damen sind trotz ihres Alters noch prächtig, schönes sattes Grün und kaum braune oder welke Blätter. Nachts senken ich die Temperatur jetzt auf 16 Grad runter. Die Ladys antworten mit einigen schönen violetten Blättern. Wirklich tolle und robuste Pflanzen!!!

Ciao a tutti...sono stato assente sulla piattaforma per un po...ma ora sono ritornato pii forte di prima... Volevo dirvi che per questo ciclo userò un soil organico italiano al 100% come me 😜

2nd week of flushing, no time to yield and dont kind letting it rest a bit more . As expected this royal cheese auto is not giving much, the terp Profile is there but you really gotta smell the bud to get the terp profile. Will upload the yielding too as soon as i get to do it. Happy growing, good people 💚

Day 101, been cutting off fan leaves on lower nodes, adding ice cubes and spraying cold water on buds. Expecting about 5 more weeks till harvest but I don’t know just guessing Also I don’t know how to change the question so I’m gonna put it here, has anyone tried to defoliate some smaller colas then tie them together will that be beneficial for bigger bud(promote one another) or is it better to leave oxygen to pass through, thanks

Plant is growing good, put scrog a bit higher and waiting for its flowering, it has showed it's sex and hopefuly starts flowering at least after a week. HPS lamp is doing its job perfectly, can't wait to switch it to yelow Sodium.

Hi! How are you? No much since last update here. A lot of trichomes and resin and smell.

78 dias de vida hace dos semanas que empezaron la floración la 1051 esta mucho mas avanzada que sus hermanas han sacado un lado genetico más sativo y van a tardar mucho mas en cogollar en general esta todo bien, ha sido temporada de lluvias, tormentas y hay una humedad constante el clima no ayuda, en el mediterraneo siempre en final de temporada vienen lluvias y hay que pelear con el tiempo para poder sacar buenos resultados y evitar plagas

Day 36, She is in flower mode! Really happy with how this lady is coming along. Back right in the photo. Water and feed tonight. ✌️ Day 37, She had a good drink and feed last night. She is back right in the photos ✌️ Day 38. Video attached ✌️✌️ Day 39, She is flying along. Water tonight 💪🏼 Day 40, bud shots. Watered and fed last night. ✌️ Day 41, @seedsmafia genetics are very good! Happy happy happy ✌️ Day 42, really happy. Water tonight. Will keep an eye on the temps. May go to 20/4 if it gets too cold during lights off. ✌️

Tercera semana de vida de las niñas. Ya nuestras plantas feminizadas en condiciones de pasar a floración, pero no sin antes aplicar podas apicales a estas (Mostrare el resultado de ese corte a comienzo de la floración). A nuestra automática no le haremos nada y la dejaremos crecer normalmente, incluso recibiendo menos luz, pero si intentaremos acomodarla en nuestra malla Scrog cuando tome mas tamaño para maximizar su producción usando LST.

Vanilla Latte from Huboldt Seed Company seems to be very stron strain! others still going very well...

Week 5 Flower | GMO × Triangle Mints BX Week 12 overall — halftime, and everything is going according to plan. This is the point in the run where the work put in during veg and early flower either shows or doesn’t. In this case it’s showing. The buds are forming nicely across the board, every site that was kept is stacking, and the canopy is sitting exactly where it needs to be. No drama, just execution. The structure on this cut continues to impress. The tight internodal spacing that defined her in veg is now translating into dense, compact bud formation along every retained site. The trichome coverage is already visible to the naked eye and building fast — a good early sign of what the finish line is going to look like. The GMO influence is clearly present in the calyx stacking and overall density, while the Triangle Mints BX contribution is showing in the frost and the way the sites are filling from the base up rather than just at the tips. Height holding at 110cm, lamp still at 30cm distance — maxed out, pushing every photon into the canopy. Watering steady at 3.3L per plant per 24h, the ladies are drinking consistently now. pH locked at 6.2, EC pushed up to 2.0 mS/cm to keep pace with the escalating demand of the bulking phase. Humidity tightened down to 50% — botrytis prevention becomes the priority from here, no compromises. Day temp 27°C, nights up slightly to 25°C to keep the differential managed without stressing the plants. Smell has stepped up to strong. The GMO × Triangle Mints BX is making itself known — the room has a presence now that wasn’t there last week. A candy gas profile is developing, exactly the kind of nose you’d expect from this cross, and it’s only going to intensify from here as the resin production ramps up through the back half. Nutrient stack: Canna CalMag Agent 1.1 ml/l, CANNA Aqua Flores A+B at 4.6 ml/l each, CANNA PK 13/14 stepped up to 0.5 ml/l continuing the gradual increase in line with demand, Aptus Regulator 0.1 ml/l, Green Planet Rezin 1 ml/l — and Plagron Green Sensation introduced at 0.5 ml/l, right on schedule. The full flower programme is now running. Feed rotation stays unchanged — two full feeds with the complete stack, third is 50/50 osmosis and tap, pH’d, carrying only CalMag. The second half starts now. Let’s see what she’s got. Next update Sunday. Stay tuned.

Plant is showing fast growing and responded well to my diy setup and diy lights 💪

For the Herbies contest - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/157348-grow-journal-by-dabbertglobberfield#gallery=6777378 - Grandmommy Purple is guilty multiple noise violations for being too loud and for stanky funk. Harvest - 169 days / 66 days in flower Well, we did it. I made it to the end. All I can think is...WOW that was A LOT of work. But I think I had very good results for a first time grower. I For harvest, we took Plant B and D and prepared them for immediate freezing. Altogether, I ended up with 1212g wet on plant B and 1089g wet on plant D. I ended up freezing 1816g of this. There was some from each of these plants that was set aside from freezing because, for whatever reason, I thought they were not worthy of washing because of how progressed the leaf damage was from the root rot battle. So that was cut up and dried as nuggets instead of hanging like the rest. Sawtooth and Plant C were both harvested and hung in the tent to dry for 12-13 days. I think I overdried by 1-2 days because when I jarred them they struggled to raise up to 55%. So I am using rh% packs. After drying Sawtooth and plant C, I ended up at 459.8g for dried flower and 170.8g in dried trim. So just over 1lbs between the 2 plants and 4.15lbs wet between the other 2 plants that was washed for hash. So... are you for real with the effort involved with washing bud for bubble hash? I don't think I would do this in the warmth. I only pursued doing bubble hash cause it's cold right now and I figured that would really help. Even in the 30s(fahrenheit) stuff would stick. It's hilarious how sticky of a process this is. I hope you have a bunch of gloves, water, and ice to burn through. I went through over 60 gallons of distilled water and 80lbs of ice to wash the 4 lbs. I am envious of people in videos using a hose to collect, clean, and refill. Also, doing this as a 1 person show is the definition of insanity. I broke the washings up into 3 parts. The first part was was the tester wash. I broke off 420g of plant D's 848gs available. I used 7 bags to see where I would end up. I used 220, 160, 120, 90, 73, 45, 25. What I determined was that if I was hunting a specific micron with a lot of material this would help find what you can get. But for the next washing I reduced the amount of bags to 4; 220, 160, 45, 25. The time, with the 4 bags, I washed with 809g. I had a much more favorable experience and return this second time but I had green fast and probably used too much ice. The 3rd wash was the remaining 631g and I found an extra 137g I added of sugar leaves and trim, brining the 3rd wash to 768g. I used 5 bags this time; 220, 160, 73, 45, 25. By the 3rd wash I have become an expert in collection but also never want to do it again. lol. 2 of the 3 washes have dried and I have 43.4g of bubble and 2.8g of dry sift. 37.4g of that bubble is able to be pressed into rosin. I will probably press that dry sift as well. The other stuff is 25u or 160u that I will experiment with or cook with. The other stuff is drying so I can't add it all in. I pressed a bunch of trim and some flower. The trim presses nice and the dab is decent. I am working out a good temp for the flower. But the problem with all these tests to find the sweet spot is that I have all these testers to go through but want to keep pressing and trying that! I think I will need to work on a better storage solution. I can't wait for the fresh frozen bubble hash rosin pressing... I have over 20gs of bubble to put in one bag. I am really looking forward to this. But I will need to work up to that pressing since I have never pressed hash/kief/bubble before in my rosin press. So this should be really fun. I will 100% post an update of the hash pressing once I do that and also after the 3rd wash session is done drying. In closing, saying I learned a lot from this grow would be an understatement. I fully expect to start it back up in a few weeks after some R&R then some R&D. There's some things I will need to work on before I start again, such as: having a single external reservoir that feeds multiple plants, hard to clog and easy to use ebb and flow system, miscellaneous final run stuff like space for drying. So thanks everyone for hanging out and perusing the photos and or reading all my huge rambling updates and thanks to those for the help along the way.

9.02.2025 Came back from the holiday and was very surprised by the plant's growth speed. Now it's in flower and can consume new nutes that I'm giving in accordance with the scheme. Going to feed exactly by the numbers it tells me to. 32nd day. Got very sick with some modern virus, wasn't even in my power to take pictures, the plant is doing really good. was sick in bed the whole week 😥

Terminando ya esta quinta semana de vida y la planta se ve bastante sana y con un buen color. Ha sido la que ha crecido más lento en comparación a sus compañeras, pero no hay apuro, acá le damos el tiempo que necesite a cada nena para que se desarrolle de la mejor forma 💚 Buenos Humos!

1-2 weeks more and coming down super frosty super sticky super dense big plant smells very sweet💪🌅🏝️
