Paper towel in ziplock bag method. First seed went wrong. Added small video today of the seedling going into the soil. Almost dropped my phone during recording, yes, you can laugh.

Work in progress however I finally was able to get the girls into the drip system. They have recovered nicely from the light burn but unfortunately I lost one of the girls. Now I am working with 4 and so far happy with the results. I am waiting on a better light, I ordered a 720 watt bar style light from Alibaba which will arrive in just a few weeks hopefully before flower. Still need to get the room in order so more to come on improvements. Switched to Gen Hydro Maxi Series just for the simplicity. We will see how this goes.

~ 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: 12/29- Here we go into Week One of Flower! It's been a month since these pretty ladies popped out of the ground and they're both looking perfect and have pistils popping out everywhere! Their fabric pots were still heavy when lifted, and they looked happy, so I skipped watering today and will check them tomorrow morning after the lights come on. Since being topped roughly a week ago, they have two new shoots that are emerging and looking extremely healthy with excellent vigor and have a beautiful healthy green color! The #1 is now at 7" tall and the #2 a bit taller at 9". 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℉. 01/02- 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℉. They're both doing fantastic but were really beginning to get choked up with growth so I went in and selectively removed a few shade leaves from both to get some light penetration down into their canopies to give that lower growth some much needed light. While I was doing that I also did a little more LST on both to also increase light penetration. Well, there goes another week in our journey and I'm looking forward to the coming weeks as flowering gets cranked up! 😍👍 😎💚 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! 💪😎🤙

April 20, 2023 at 1:41 PM day 50 -It’s day 50 and they are all in full flower and seem mostly happy. The forum appear to be showing a calcium/magnesium deficiency. I busted out some of my hydroponic stuff and gave it some cutting edge solutions additives. Are used plant-amp, uncle John’s blend, and Mag-amp. I gave it 2/3 strength. -I also added my Bulbasaur to protect the plants! April 26, 2023 at 9:55 AM day 56 -Something with wrong with the forum. Only thing I could think of is that the soil pH is too high. It might be a 7.5 to about an 8. I’m putting up a video so you guys could take a look. Hopefully you guys can tell me what I did wrong so I won’t do it again. 😔

So far it seems to be fine even if the high humidity worries me even if the temperatures are still high then they have stopped growing and will finally focus on the flowers and slowly we recover these small deficiencies

La hermosa bike😻 durante el vege fue todo un tema mantenerla feliz pero ahora es otra cosa, le hice defoliacion hace dos semanas cuando la pase a la oscuridad y hoy ya deberia hacerle de nuevo, ha estirado una locura para arriba 😏

Finally done with this sweet cake, many many sticky strawberries. I love it

Smooth sailing, watered once every three days

Feliz con los resultados de la hidroponia cultivar plantas autoflorecientes en hidro da resultados increibles en comparacion a cultivar en sustraro

Flipped to flower 05/02/26 💪

Stretch seems to be over now. Starting to get a little bit frosty. Creeping along slowly but surely. Fed her plain water begining of the week and a little cal/mag. I'm away for new year so thought I'd upload upto today. Hopefully she packs a bit of weight on over the next few weeks Fingers crossed eh.

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

🤗🤗🤩🤩😍😍🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼🤪🤪 This girl is pretty! 😍 And smells sooo good!! Today is day 77! She’s been getting straight water for over a week and she’s almost ready to harvest! 🤩 She didn’t get very big but she seems thick! (And would be a perfect!! Wedding bouquet! 😘🙃) On Sunday I pulled the center of the plant open some and it was pretty green in there so trying to give that part some more time! Other then that, we are super excited to see how she taste! 😋🤩😍 Check me out and show some love on Instagram @greengirl420mipotfarm and our other grows @mi.pot.farm here on grow diaries & Instagram 🤗 🔥 🌲 puff puff passs 💨 💨

Hi Growmies, She has been topped and growing nicely, and slowly starts stretching through the ScrOG. The plant has not shown any signs of stress after the topping. I will let her fill the net to 60% and then flip her. I unfortunately snapped a branch, which I right away taped and it seems like it’s going to survive with just a little stunt in growth of that particular branch. Have already removed a few of the lower side branches and Will start with a light defoliation this week. From my experience it shocks the plant less than doing big batches at once. Roots have started to grow in the tank, which means that another growth spurt is to be expected soon. Thanks for ready and apologies for the delay. Merry Christmas :)

I transplant to 1 gl pot for veg feed with clonex root solution the rest is RO water with PH adjusted 6.3-6.5 The soil is from the previous grow but it's re amendment and set for a month before use
