~ 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: 12/15- Here we go into the second week of veg for the FastBuds Tester #2205 girls and they're on a roll! 😍 When I checked on them today they both were still moist so I let them go until I check them tomorrow. Basically at this point in the run all I have to do is make sure they don't dry out, fill the humidifier and watch them grow! 12/17- Yesterday I watered them both and increased the amount to roughly 0.25g each of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of Botanicare Silica Blast (added to begin to help strengthen their branches) and then ph'd to 6.4 @ 74℉. I've also increased the output of the HLG 650R's to 35% which equates to about 230w at the wall which, of course has raised the temp's in the tent so I've also begun to run the A/C unit in the grow room which is keeping the temp's now at 75℉ in the tent. The RH is running around 75-78% RH giving a VPD of .67-.74 which I'll take! 😁👍 Other than what I've mentioned above, all I did was fill the humidifier with distilled water and watched my girls grow! 🤩 12/19- Today I watered them each with 0.25g of de-chlorinated water to which I added 3ml/g Fish Head Farms Fish Sh!t and 1 tsp/g Unsulfured Molasses which I then ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I'm now watering through the bottom, filling the drip pan and letting the plant draw up the water into itself. I am also watering from the top, but only just enough to moisten the medium. They're really starting to take off now, a sure sign their roots are beginning to get well developed. Their 4th set of leaves have emerged and I'm thinking over topping them in the next day or so. 12/21- Well, yesterday I went ahead and topped the #2 Tester #2205 taking off the 5th leaf set. Hopefully she won't stress out over this and starts shooting out those secondary branches. I left the #1 alone as she's not quite as vigorous as the #2. I may not top the #1 as a sort of comparison to see how each grows out. Today I watered them both with 0.25g of straight de-chlorinated water each which was ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I gave about 3/4 of it into their drip pans so they can draw it up into their medium, the rest I applied to the top of their medium just to moisten it. Well there's two weeks of veg behind us now, Week Three of vegetation is beginning and they should really start to take off! 😍👍 😎💚 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! 💪😎🤙

Easy grow cycle, 5 weeks of vegetation and 7 to 8 weeks of flowering and they are good to harvest. For drying I only removed the bigger fan leaves. Now they are hanging upside down in the tent to dry for about 8 to 10 days before trimming and getting a proper dry weight.

Cali smoke on and off lately- plants don't seem to mind too much. They've been flowering for more than about a week now - I've up'd my nutrients a tiny tiny bit - fairly consistent though. A couple of pests - leafhoppers - have been spotted tearing some small holes on a couple of my leaves Just have been flicking off about two or three everyday, nothing to serious to worry about I think. Also, I sprayed a foliar spray 'Diamatacious Earth' about a week ago - all over the bottoms and under sides of my plants - I'm hoping to not have to re apply another spray but might in the next couple of weeks if pests continue to infiltrate! I went overboard on the tablespoons I used in my hand sprayer, applied a thick layer haha. OVERALL - Plants maintaining healthy growth. Might look to lollipop or remove some unneeded giant fan leaves soon!! THANKS FOR READING!! AUGUST 26, 2021

Well she popped up very fast as to be expected these beans just explode with growth . The only thing holding my girl back was the container I put her into a 400 ml container made of glass .The first issue I had was green algae on my roots from the lights so I covered the glass from light. Then it was the constant watering that had to be done as she drank a lot.. The plants structure was good and the smell as well it is a great smelling strain from the 2nd week it was flowering .At the end she started to smell string of skunk and and another smell I can't say what exactly . The team at fast buds has a great line up of genetics and I'm going to try my hand at some more in the near future ..cheers everybody and good luck anyone else growing in the solo cup challenge ...

Hello everyone , Here is the phase of completed stretch, and the fertilizer fertilizer contribution are 100%, flowering starts very well and the appearance of the first pistil are visible everywhere. For the height of the plants I find it reasonable and thus keeping all this world a good size the luminous penetration will be excellent ... until now hene no sign of problem for my plants I think that the flowering will follow its rhythm .. to see in the coming weeks ... now place to photos ...

Day 31 (from sprout): Upon my return, I found that the plants were underwatered given they are in living soil this was especially bad. The first thing I did was to defoliate and to install a new trellis net. Sadly I was tired and couldn’t reach / see my plants well and ended up cutting off two valid branches from the gorilla skittlez

Bud forming so fast!!!!!! Comparing to previous plants I growth in witch I used biobizz light soil I changed kind of soil in this one I’m using canna professional and the different is quite noticeable I’m really satisfied. I was worried that the small box I’m growing in would eventually make the plant suffer but it’s totally not, the plant is responding well!! Started with the maximum dose of bud ignitor by advanced nutrient. I’m really exited for this lady can’t wait to se the beautiful complete resinous buds.. keeping growing with LOVE 💚

New week starts! I will wright updates every day now. Cos I don't want to keep photos on my mobile devise. I'll make new photo of a new day, load it up and delete immediately. Keep it safe, guys. 🌞13.11.2022 I putted some more substrate to cover my flowers to the leaves. It's only 'training' till now. Also, one of my mini ventilators started to make a creepy noise. I ordered two more cheap mini USB ventilators. I hope they will live longer. That one died after a couple month of work. Sadly... 🌞14.11.2022 Next day morning my ventilator died. I scrued it apart. Then I remembered I have tattoo machine oil in my garage. When I oiled it and turned ON it began to spin like new... Mb I acted stupid buying two new ones, mb not. It's written on the oil tube: 'Oil your tattoo machine every 30 hrs'. So after a few days we'll see. :-) 🌞15.11.2022 The second one plant has a slightly larger second pair of leaves (triple ones). Maybe because it came from her seed one day later. There were a seed peeling problem to both of them and I was forced to help. A difference in germination time was about 8 hrs. 🌞17.11.2022 My ventilator died this evening. Two others I ordered didn't come to me yet. But they should come tomorrow. I don't know will they pass, but it will be better then nothing... 8 hrs difference between growing flowers still noticeable, it's disposed on photos. No feeding for today. 🌞18.11.2022 Today two new air coolers came. They are good quality and power for their's size but too noisy. Not so bad, I say. I installed one of them (it's on photo) and leave the second old one on it's place. It still works and a noise is not so loud. I wunder, why my plants are different by the size. Maybe because one of my old ventilators stopped all the time? 🌞19.11.2022 I watered my girls with 'GHE Pro Roots' and measured drainage today. Input was ph6.0 and outflow - ph6.5. I think we'll be OK in a few weeks. I learned from the grow questions that auto flowers grow better and bigger in pure coco with perlite, but i have mix soil/coco/perlite in my pots. Now I nervous if all will be OK. But my substrate is soft (tapped it with my finger) even when it's watered. We'll see how it'll go compared to others diaries of the same strain.

A little increase nutrients. Now I feed 1 time pH Perfect (Micro, Grow, Bloom) in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias. 2 time Flora(Micro, Grow, Bloom, BigBud )in double amounts, B52, CalMags, Sensizym and bacterias. By the end of the week i ran out of BigBud and Flora Grow. Don't know if need to buy more of it or not. Despite I had lower humidity, it looks like she's still drinking less water. To be honest, it's first time, when i see my plant drink that small at this stage. I defoliated a lot this week, dozens of leaves every day. Although this time, I cut not only big fan leaves, but also small ones in the lower center of a plant. I also cut down some lower buds to lollypop the plant a bit. But since most of the lower buds are still even not developed to the size, when it may be cut down easelly, I think i will continue doing it in the next week. Lightning is also not perfet for the grow. Lamp has enough power to maintain the plant, but it's shape leaves much to be desired, it's too concentrated it the center with very small light at the sides. It allows me understand, that i have mainlained too much, I should've stopped with 4 colas. I was afraid i wouldn't have enough space, but the problem is not with the space, but with lights now. It's funny and weird how the buds are looking now. Some of them are pretty big already, some are just formed. And all of which are located in the top of the plant, they can't even receive equals amount of light even there. Smell is becoming from 'just bud smell' to 'very sweety buds' now. It remind me the smell of Zkittles a lot.
