~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2206 ~ 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 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 9" tall and the #2 a bit shorter at 7". 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! 💪😎🤙

Hi people and welcome to my grow diary, I have grown before a few times and have extensive knowledge in growing cannabis, I have been limited on space before and not being able to explore my potential to its fullest, I also tried hydro with not the best results you live you learn you come back better, this time around I have good space good tent size and it has all been set up to my specification, I am doing real Queen seeds Royal Highness which is a daytime smoke with high CBD which is what I'm looking for I have been smoking cannabis now for over 18 years now and love it, I like to share with other growers and other like-minded small growers and professionals out there in the cannabis cultivation industry, like others I am trying to perfect my craft and this time I will do just that, I germinated 10 feminized Royal Highness seeds with 100% success rate the genetics from royal Queen seeds are on point!, below I will explain the method I used and how I got such a good germination rate, I soak my seeds in water boiled first then cooled down to room temperature then left them in a cupboard for 24-hours, when I came back I tap the seeds they all sunk to the bottom of the glass, I then use the same water from the glass the seeds are within to wet a couple of pieces of kitchen roll and let the excess drain off, I then move the seeds to the kitchen paper giving them space between each seed I then put them into a heated propagator and left them for another 12 to 24 hours and they had all sprouted a tap root, While I was waiting for the seeds to Germinate I prepared 10 pots of natural coco mixed with perlite, I ran through just plain tap water a few times through each spot it was running clear I left them on the windowsill overnight to come up to room temperature I then planted the seeds into these pots the next day, 24-hours later and I had to carefully go digging just a small bit and I found and around eight of my colydons coming up through the coco I left these exposed to my viper spectra 600 watt LED but still in the propagator with the lid on, few more hours and they should be standing straight up and kicking. The light is just under 2 ft from the propagator, I will update as my grow progressive please pull up a chair and join me if you wish it will be a pleasure to have you along on the journey, I appreciate every single person who reads if you want to know more I will answer questions and also have a bit of banter thank you for looking please enjoy peace and blessings to UPDATE Friday 15th of November 2019............................................... Hello guys this is an update I have added an update to the comments but i will move that here soon also, so everything is together nice and neat, Today marks the end of week one from popping the seeds including germination time, All plants are growing their second set of true leaves so not long now until they make it out the seedling stage, hoorayyyyyy, Temps are perfect at 26c humidity up around the 60s in tent but I have them in the humidity dome so will be a lot higher in and around high 80s they are loving it, I have now changed out my Mars hydro 400w for my viper Spectra 600w LED and they're loving that also, I have now started to feed with plagron terra grow, Snoop Dogg radical roots and I am continuing to use calmag, as I had some of this left I'm only going to use this until these parts have been rooted once I transplant I will start to use the canna line, I will use my one question to ask you lovely guys and girls what are the best results in the dense buds you have had from nutrients in Coco, I'll put that up after this update I will take some more photos today and I will upload them and that will be the last of week 1 and I'm talking day one was when I put the seeds into the cup of water and within 7-days I'm on my second to set of leaves that it's not bad going happy with that, I don't want no mistakes on this group I want absolute perfection to maximize yields and maximize the quality and density of the bud, my skills and knowledge and the time I've spent learning and perfecting my craft is up to scratch now and I know I can do a successful crop without any problems, And we will achieve that guys positivity is the key To success i hope you are all enjoying my grow I update regularly with pictures every other day killing my data but it's ok I love you guys, peace love and blessings happy growing.

Hi Growmies es vergingen noch 7 Tage bis ich Ernten konnte ich ließ die Pflanze komplett austrocknen nachdem ich sie ein letztes Mal gegossen habe mit klaren Wasser. Leider ging es mir gesundheitlich nicht gut weshalb ich kaum Bilder gemacht habe und nicht richtig trimming. Werde noch Bilder den Blüten und Rauch bericht machen. Der nächste Grow ist schon safe welche Sorten ich anbauen werde: Guava Runtz Auto, Mendo Frost Auto und Purple Lemonade RF3! Danke Fast Buds für die Möglichkeit die neuen Sorten zu testen!

Ciao a tutti! Settimana fantastica, i fiori si stanno gonfiando ad una velocità incredibile, ci sono tricomi ovunque e i pistilli posso dire che mi sembrano decisamente più lunghi delle altre volte, credo dipenda dall'idroponica. Sto notando che va tutto molto più in fretta, avrei potuto tranquillamente tagliare una settimana di vegetativa e avrei avuto gli stessi apicali ma semplicemente più bassi, la prossima volta le giro in fioritura prima da tenerle più basse, ho rischiato la bruciatura da led sugli apicali più alti. Però sono veramente soddisfatto, gli advanced nutrients mi stanno regalando grandi soddisfazioni, le premesse sono di un raccolto assai abbondante, non vedo l'ora! Manca un mese scarso!

This week the girls look very thirsty. They clearly increased their consumption of water, maybe because of the temperature witch is quiet high for a end of october.... Anyway, I have to water the plants every 2 days maximum otherwise the leaves are going down... Beside this, they look great :)

This girl scout cookie is a big girl next to here Bruce Banner sister, and about 3weeks younger. I've not done much this week, tucked away any leaves covering bud sites and trimmed about 3 leaves that couldn't be tucked. Biobizz triple, bloom, grow and top max. Homemade nuits and just tap water. She's taken up her canopy space up in the grow cupboad so she's all set.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 60 days and flowering stage was 70 days total (harvested tops at day 63th) the total weight of dry buds was : top buds 174 G + lower buds 55 G = 229 G my overview of strain with details: the seeds: unfortunately i only got 1 seed cracked out of 5 so i will not know how much this genetic can get different but at least i got the chance to grow once of this wonderful strain the plant : in every stage you can ensure that you are dealing with a high level plant , she will get big so you have to control her height LST and SCROG highly recommended , will grow very well with tick stalks and big fan leaves , has good resistance for stress and will respond very well to stress trainings , she really has gorilla power in herself , fresh buds on plant : buds are very compact and dense even from start , fresh blossoms smells like pineapple and mango , 2 different shades of sweet smells like you hold 2 junks of pineapple and mango in your hand and you smell them together, she is a trichome and resin factory , very very sticky , very oily , strong smell dried buds: very compact and dense , hard as rocks , has dark colors with purple hues inside it , it smells sweet smoke : very smooth and sweet like lollipop , pineapple , mango like , after 2 minutes it'll kick in and you'll get higher and higher with every breath , has a strange and especial high mind high mostly

🌱 Started from seed June 5th and she wasted no time getting established. Early growth was strong with a compact, bushy shape, perfect for training. I topped her young to keep a flat canopy, and she responded by throwing out strong, healthy side branches. 🌿 Veg was short and efficient, and the stretch built thick, sturdy colas without getting lanky. Light defoliation throughout flower kept airflow up and let light reach every bud site. 🍇 Terps are loud — sweet berry notes with a fruity kick that makes you want to keep smelling her. Trichomes ripened evenly, and I took her even higher on amber than usual for that deep, heavy, sedative effect. ✂️ Harvest day — dense, frosty buds with a beautiful structure. She stayed healthy from start to finish and was a pleasure to grow. Can’t wait to see how she smokes after a long, slow cure.

Well we finally reached the end. The last week was more cruise control. Just trying to remove the big fan leaves that's blocking any flowers. The trichomes looking kinda ready but still acceptable. During the last few days I maintained a daytime Humidity of around 60 and nighttime of 55. Temperatures are between 73 degrees and 67 degrees. Two days before chop they got 48 hrs of dark and 3 days of no water to add to the stress. After the 48hrs darkness all the ladies Came out extra frosty. Loving the change of hues on the blue gelato. The vanilla Kush is very oily and very very strong smell. Not a strong smell coming off the OrangeGelato though. The green gelato has a creamy smell.
