I have decided to chop the most mature plant of the three, even though it could go longer I was originally going to be chopping all three because I am about to leave on a trip, however a friend of mine is able to take care of the other 2 less mature ones. I was planning on just saying fuck it and chop them all but the less mature ones have still mostly white pistils and I can’t bring myself to do it, they started putting more weight on these past few days and I know if they just could get a few more weeks they will really be amazing with a lot of weight. Interesting that one matured faster than the other 2, although I think this corresponds with the size of the buds as the mature plant’s buds are not particularly big, hoping to pull 25 grams at least from it. The less mature plants are beginning to bulk and as I stated earlier, I just can’t chop them and ruin all their potential yet. The calyxs are swelling a lot and looking super tasty. Will continue to add updates for the other 2 plants

~ 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! 💪😎🤙

Que pasa familia, vamos con la séptima semana de floración de estas Gorilla Melon feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. Y ya superaron el shock provocado por el mismo trasplante. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Ya empiezan a formarse las flores y progresan a buen ritmo. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Day 94 - 13/07/2023 Start of 8th Week of Flower and FLUSH Day 95 - Buds are starting to have that final golden color, harvest really is arriving. I could harvest now but i want to flush this plant properly. Today it started to rain and buds are all wet. When it stops raining i´ll check the plant and shake it to remove water. The plant love it but humidity is really high here and mold can forms even when it´s not raining. I´ll check trichomes when possible aswell. Day 96 - Today rained in the morning, but after midday sun started to shine. Had some minor mold problems which i removed immediately, but nothing really to worry , this strain is tough aswell. I checked trichomes, i already have some amber but i think i saw some clear ones here and there. My instinct is telling me to harvest now, but my experience wants to flush this plant properly. I think i should have started to flush earlier, but i did not regret as i want to try out and let a plant really mature. After all im am not that experienced. Day 97 - Today the pot was already kind of dry so i watered her to help the flushing process and i think this will be the last watering. Day 99 - Here i just think i took some really cool pictures, for me at least! 😄 I´ll let the soil dry well so i can harvest with less humidity possible

Just been flushing for a week reckon it will take another 5 days at least. The lower third i took off has been dried and is curing had a lil change of heart haha. Smells very strong fruity kinky and the colours have maintained.

Dia 91 la 4 semana de floración , la 1051 va mucho mas avanzada que las demás, hay algun problema con la mosca blanca aunque ya hemos pedido depredadores para combatir con ella de manera biologica, la Glow Starz y la White Noise van mucho mas atrasadas aunque se ven mucho mejor

22.03.21 So die blüte ist eingeleitet die nächsten 14 Tage is wegstecken unterm netz für Triebe und Blätter angesagt.... 23.03.21 und wieder ein Tag hinter uns immer meine Ungeduld kann es kaum noch erwarten das was passiert..... 24.03.21 hab heute gegossen 4L wasser mit zyme, sugar royal und bloom hab den bloom dünger jetzt auf ein Viertel seiner maximal dosis laufen also auf 1ml/L anstatt 4ml/L werde ihn nach und nach steigern nicht das ich noch Nährstoff Überschuss im Topf bekomme ich Weiss ja nix über diese Genetik ausser den Infos von Growers choice im inet und aufm peipack zettel der Saat. Ach ja und was hab ich heut noch so gemacht biegen, binden Blätter und Triebe ähm und biegen, binden Blätter und Triebe und ähm biegen, binden Blätter und Triebe. Ich bekomm bestimmt Alpträume von riesen Cannabis jungeln an denen ich endlos biege und binde..... 25.03.21 biegen und binden........ Endloses spiel....ach ja und vita race sprühen war heut auch dran 26.03.21 biegen und binden...... Wachstum is rasant angezogen ich würde fast sagen der stretch is voll in gange.... 27.03.21 biegen und binden mein täglich Brot..... 28.03.21 der letzte Tag der ersten Woche 12/12 is auf biegen und binden und hier und da mal ein Blatt weg schneiden was zu viel war ist nichts weiter passiert. Das netzt füllt sich bin zufrieden soweit was das Ergebnis betrifft für die erste Woche....

Must grow again

We’ve had some nice weather this week. So far so good. I just hope to get her through flowering, as she is supposed to be a very small plant. Other than that the bottom leaves that may be dying I think she should be okay? For now it’s just sticking to water + worm tea & a drop of Black Molasses.

Hot, humid and stormy AF was a good way to describe the past week. Daytime highs were 25-30°C (feeling like 35-40°C) with almost daily thunderstorms in the evenings. Heavy winds, downpours and even a bit of hail to spice up the mix! The girls stood their ground and weathered it all. But then again when you have legs like these two it's hard to get knocked down. Stalk and branches are all thickening up nicely, hoping this means will be able to handle the bud load without netting this year 🤞. Watering every 48 hours and feeding once a week with Reefertilizer Grow. Regular waterings are soaking the pots with a garden hose for a good 3-4 minutes each, and feedings are 12L of nutrient mix on Fridays. Probably have to do a defoliation this week before these girls push into flower, the insides are getting quite dense. Happy growing!

Immer noch keinen Dünger, nur die gute Erde .... Die Speed Queen steht ja experimentell in einer kalten Garage mit einer SkinnyHeat Heizmatte von Romberg unter dem Growzelt. Sehr hohe Luftfeuchte im Zelt - Ich hoffe auf die stabile Genetik von Mandala Seeds ....

- harvest was today on day 58, she is the fastest yet bigest auto i grew so far - now drying in my drytent with the carbon filter on - as usual harvest report will be up in 10-14 days when everything is dry and trimmed so stay tuned

So far plain sailing, I raised the light as I was riding it a bit close and in a weeks time I will defoliate for the last time and remove any unwanted growth from the bottom.

Still only giving water, 3 weeks old

The final Week, before harvest! She has some massive towering buds! 2.5 gallons of water is lasting this plant 5-6 days before drying out, and ready for more.. She was harvested instead of being watered!

Been having problems with EC! And I thought I had it made.😏 The only thing I can figure is my mix of HP Myco, and HP coco coir, EWC, shrimp compost, perlite and a little powdered dolomite lime must be too "hot". I am using a bluelab truncheon that is accurate and my runoff EC is 3.6. Plants were still to dark despite my hopes. My well water is 400ppm so I will try to keep my input water 1.8EC and 6.2 - 6.5 PH, 21 degrees and my runoff 2.0 EC. I have put thru another 120 L of just PH'd water 0.8EC until runoff was 1.8 to 2.2. Their shade of green looks better but there are 4 that are still too dark so I will try more water tomorrow. EC'd, PH'd & took Temp of all inflow and outflow on 10 plants (this takes forever)😟. Watered again with 6.3 PH, 20 degree, 0.9 EC well water and put thru 3 gallons for 6 plants . Run off EC was 0.8, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0! Their colour and hue is much better than it was, not so heavy and dull, and I believe that this flushing has saved them from being stunted and having more cell wall damage, as well as nitrogen toxicity and other bad stuff. You can see them coming around already from my blunders. Today Sept 28 is Day 73 and Day 14 of Bloom. I can hardly wait to actually feed them something in a couple of days.
