All sprouted and broke through soil! Disclaimer for the whole run: I started naming them for my ease of documenting, "BPP #2" also sounds kinda whack. They are named after Valkyries, not because of any whacky political affiliation, just because i like the sound of the names. Also, from here on out, BPP = Banana Purple Punch, LCC = Lemon Cherry Cookies Stay tuned for more! 11/02 First Watering, 100ml with 4 ml/L of rootjuice. will ramp up dosage quickly once the dome comes off, hopefully in the evening when my humidifier arrives! 13/02 Watering! 300 ml with 4ml/L of rootjuice 14/02 VPD dialed in at around ~0,62-0,65 kPa. Size: Cara, Eir, Herja = 5 cm, Gunnr 7 cm 15/02 Watering, 500 ml, 4ml/L rootjuice, 1ml/L Grow

This week I decided they deserved better. Added some red/blue LEDs that are low output, 12 on 12 off, 29.99 Chinese, designed for house plants. Even upgraded the pot to a 11 litre Grownest.

The plant is doing well overall this week! ๐Ÿ’ช To handle a few fungus gnats that started showing up, I introduced nematodes into the soil and placed some yellow sticky traps, seems to be keeping things under control so far. She's growing quite tall now, definitely stretching up nicely, but not really filling out much in width. A true lemony skyscraper in the tent!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š

So we're a couple weeks into flower now. I finally got my hands on a ph meter. Our water has a ph of 7.8 but with nutrients comes down to high 6s. Runoff ph was 6.3ish. I'll keep an eye on it the next few feeds and see what happens. Had a couple weekends where I've been away and girl has dried out a bit between waterings but she's held up under the stress ok. LST has been reasonably successful for both my girls. Will see how yield compares to prev grow. Have just got my hands on some bud burst which I've started adding today.

Day 50 - Starting off the 8th week and sheโ€™s looking good. Filling in more and more each day. Gave her the first feeding of the week today and removed a couple dying leaves. Day 51 - No water today, she still needs to dry out a bit. Sheโ€™s filling in fairly nicely and looking forward to seeing how this girl will turn out in the end. Day 52 - Gave the girl a full 3/4โ€™s of a gallon of pHโ€™d water. Sheโ€™s definitely filling in a bit more each day. Day 53 - For the most part, sheโ€™s looking pretty good but sheโ€™s definitely got a little deficiency. A few of the leaves I defoliated seem to point to a cal-mag deficiency. So Iโ€™m going to give her good flush tomorrow and up the cal-mag a bit and hope that helps. Day 54 - Flushed her with a gallon of water and foxfarmโ€™s sledgehammer. Gonna let her dry out quite a bit and then up the cal-mag and hope this corrects her issue. Other than that sheโ€™s filling in quite nicely. Day 56 - Last day of week 8 and sheโ€™s really starting to pack on now and looking good. Letting her dry out a bit more before starting feed schedule after flushing.

Itโ€™s week 5 of flowering, and things are looking fantastic! The adjusted nutrients for the coco substrate have clearly made a difference, as both plants are thriving and continue to develop thick layers of trichomes. โœจ Interestingly, the non-LST plant is starting to show some unique color variations, which is surprising given that both are from the same strain. This unexpected twist adds a bit of excitement, and Iโ€™m curious to see how it will develop over the next few weeks. When it comes to scent, the differences are striking! The LST variant has a bold and distinct Lemon Haze aromaโ€”zesty and citrusy ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿ’จ while the non-LST plant gives off a fruity-sweet smell thatโ€™s incredibly rich and inviting. ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿญ Unfortunately, my camera broke this week, and now Iโ€™m dealing with some low-quality pictures. ๐Ÿ“ท๐Ÿ˜” While itโ€™s frustrating not to capture the plants in their full glory, Iโ€™ll do my best to document their progress as clearly as possible. Overall, both plants are doing great, and Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing how they turn out in the final stretch! ๐Ÿ’š

~ 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... ๐Ÿคช 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 78โ„‰ 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 78โ„‰ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78โ„‰ 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! ๐Ÿ˜ 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 @ 74โ„‰. 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 75โ„‰ in the tent. The RH is running around 75-78% RH giving a VPD of .67-.74 which I'll take! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ Other than what I've mentioned above, all I did was fill the humidifier with distilled water and watched my girls grow! ๐Ÿคฉ 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 @ 74โ„‰. 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 @ 74โ„‰. 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! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’š 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! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค™

The weight documented above is dry weight, not wet weigh. I wouldnโ€™t dare disappoint myself by doing a wet weigh.

She has fought off all pest and environment issues and is very stable. She was switched to a 20 hour light cycle at mid to end of flower and she took that well and swelled further. Opened her up on the inside to the let the light in and she has rewarded with fat little nugs all the way down her stems!! She liked the LST and would push harder the day after being tied down. She finished just a beautiful girl and she will be on a screen saver for a few months to come๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

So this was my first ever Tiny Pot ๐Ÿ‘ˆ wasn't sure if I could even do it ๐Ÿค” But instead it was a blast , she grew even better then expected , so much so I may do another ๐Ÿ‘ She was a hungry plant the hole cycle, figuring out her feeding became a great learning tool , I gained alot of experience growing this one ๐Ÿ˜€ I used rain water the hole grow , to which she required feeding daily , some day twice ๐Ÿ‘ˆ ๐Ÿ‘‰I added 4 straws in week 4 to help with air flow to the roots and it worked ๐Ÿ’ช So check week 4 to see what I did ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Big thanks to all my Growmies out there in GD land ๐Ÿ‘ˆ Much appreciated ๐Ÿ™ Thanks To MarsHydro for the TS1000 ๐Ÿ‘‰I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .๐Ÿ‘ˆ ๐Ÿ‘‰ www.nutrinpk.com ๐Ÿ‘ˆ NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14๐Ÿ‘‰ Every Week NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14๐Ÿ‘‰ Weeks 2 & 3 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30๐Ÿ‘‰ Weeks 4 to 8 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34๐Ÿ‘‰ Weeks 4 & 9

I'm happy with the progress they have made, all have responded well to defoliation and LST. I'll be adding a few more light nutrients at some point this week. The gorilla zkittles is shorter than the rest but looks very sturdy and has plenty of bud showing already, I think this is because it started flowering maybe 7days before the rest and in them 7days the rest shot up rapidly! I'll update daily and try get some nice videos with lights out.

Buds are really putting on weight! Frost is in abundance. Colas have really gained defined shape and structure. The aroma is getting intense. Full blown bloom is a wonderful thing. Just watching as the sexyness gets more defined. We have hit the major bulking phase. Do to the new phase of growth the feeding has once again changed. I added bud golem to the mix. To get every drip drop of flowering vigor this lady has to push. Really gives that extra umph for the bulking phase. Will eliminate that last bit of grow outta the mix next feed. Than ride that mix to the flush. Until next update . Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Another amazing week. Everything coming along nicely. This week was a strip of all growth underneath the ScroG, as you can see in the video i aimed to keep all growth above the ScroG. We dont want the plants to waste energy in those fluffy bottom nugz xD. Ive noticed a bit of stretch from the few branches at the back, I think I will top them to keep them level to the rest. Please leave a like and a comment with your thoughts. Peace The Pot Factory

The last to planted by 3 week and it the tallest already and it hasn't even stared to flower yet. I'm very excited to see what happens with this strain.
