~ 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: 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' and remains the 'Frost Queen' in the run she is a VERY happy girl! The #2 pheno, while different from her sister, is looking gorgeous and starting to really ramp up her trichome production! 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℉. OMG they're both looking fantastic with both looking amazing with a generous coating of trichomes covering their flowers, especially on the #1 phenotype and both have developed a funky sweet, creamy aroma! 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! Much love 💚 and Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Blue Cheese F1 automatic Week 5 2/2-2-8 The Cheese gals are in full flower and are stretching like crazy. At the beginning of the week, they were 7 inches tall, Wed 10 and today 2/7 they are 14 & 15 inches tall. They have doubled in height. I’ve moved the pins out to the edge of the pot. For future training, I must add some wires thru the pot holes to keep the branches lower as the outer rim is taller than the center. I reduced nutrients in the feed solution since Runtz and Pink Rozay are showing some purples/blues in the leaves. These gals are vigorous and don’t seem to mind the full strength feedings. Hopefully they won’t start showing deficiencies. I added Green Sensation this week then read the instructions said add in 4th week flower. Blue Cheese is supposed to be a 10 week flower from seed to harvest. If I wait till the 4th week, it will only be used for 2 maybe 3 weeks. Would that actually benefit the plant. So I think I will add some each time but a 25% strength. Calls for 4ml/g I will use 1ml. They are autos and I should be lowering the nutes anyway. Pinned more branches. I add 2 gallons of water to the T700 humidifier daily to keep the VPD in line. 2/5 4 gal fed 2 liter each nutrients added at ½ of recommended amount. Making 4 gallons since I have 2 pots of carrots and Dill in the back. Bloom Juice 60ml Plant Juice 60 ml Royal Rush 15 ml power bud 15ml green sensation 7.5ml Recharge 2.5ml/gal 7.5 ml Ppm 333 Ph 7.02 Temp 66 2/7 3 ltr each Bloom Juice 60ml Plant Juice 60 ml Royal Rush 15 ml Power bud 15ml Green sensation not added Ppm 298 Ph 6.5 Temp 65 Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Hi liebe Community💚 Die Sleepy ist nun im Ziel und ich bin sehr auf dass Raucherlebnis gespannt. Beim Growen gibt es nicht sonderlich viel zu beachten, außer das die RH Werte in der Blüte auf jeden Fall konstant bleiben sollten, da diese Pflanze etwas Budrot ausgebildet hat obwohl es höchstens 60% RH im Zelt gab für eine Kurze Zeit Sonst schöner Wuchs und auf jedenfall ein interessantes Aroma! Stay Tuned🍀🥦💚

Que pasa familia, vamos actualizar esta 5 semana de floración, y no veáis cómo se está poniendo el asunto, las flores están repletas de resina , en los 2 indoors los 9 ejemplares están floreciendo bastante bien hay 3 con pequeñas carencias que no puedan solucionar buenos abonos. Entre riego y riego suelen pasar 2/3 días hasta que el sustrato está bien seco. La temperatura en estos 2 indoors es estable ni sube de 26 ni baja de 21 así que fetén, la humedad a sido controlada en la sala, antes estaba un poco alta , ahora ya no sobrepasa los 55%. En las fotos podéis aprecias que las flores van engordando y progresando como debe ser. Hasta aquí es todo espero que siga todo como ahora hasta el final, irnos humos 💨💨💨 y feliz año 🎊 .

🌿 Woche 8 - Erste Erntewoche - So Jung und doch so Reif ️🌿 🌱 Wachstum Man sieht mittlerweile deutlich, dass die "kleinere" Pflanze es sehr eilig hat. 🏃‍♀️💨 Die Dominante Dame, lässt sich dagegen etwas mehr Zeit für ihre Buds. ⏳🌸 Aber für beide Damen gilt: Für ihre 8–9 Wochen ist das beachtlich. 🌟 Rückblickend hätte ich vllt etwas mehr Lollypopping machen sollen. Beim Ernten, kamen ein Paar Triebe zum vorschein, die sich nicht so gut entwicken konnten. Fastbuds typisch, sind viele Quallitativ geile Buds dabei. Ich freue mich schon aufs Naschen 😋 Aber jetzt wo ich die Erste Lady geerntet hab, hab ich gemerkt das 100g vllt etwas hochgestapelt war. 😬 Ich hoffe das ich wenigstens noch die 80g irgendwie knacke. 😹 🌱 Living Soil Was man auch sieht, sind Mängel. 😰 Es könnte an den 2 Pflanzen im selben Topf liegen. Grade bei so schnell wachsenden Auto´s könnte die Nährstoff Verteilung gestört gewesen sein. 😵 Es könnte aber auch sein, dass die Erde wegen der Doppelbepflanzen schon sehr ausgelaugt war. Es könnte auch sein das die Microorganismen nicht schnell genug hinterherkamen. 😪 Da ich viele Rote Stiele sowie Rostflecken an den Blättern, und etwas Leaf-rot hatte, müsste es hauptsächlich Phosphor Mangel sein. 👉 💡 Licht & Schatten PPFD 📈 Aktuell ca. 900 µmol/m²/s. ☀️ Wetter Die Temperaturen sind und bleiben brutal: 27–34 °C 🌡️🔥 💧 Gießen 🕒 Alle 2–3 Tage 🚿 Jeweils 2,2 l Wasser 💦 🎶 The Grow must go on! 🌱✨

Week 0: Germinated her the old-school way...two paper towels, between 2 saucers.. Fastbuds: I was so impressed with the packaging ..even though I was not able to get the original packaging (Discreet).. Week 1: just sprinkled H20 on her.. Midweek she sprouted. Week 2: Added some AgriSil K50 for her root development..She showed her first true leafs like yesterday..
