~ 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: 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'.... a VERY happy girl she is and the #2 is just enormous with tons of bud sites and flowers that are starting to get a coating of white trichomes giving her that frosty appearance! 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℉. Both testers are extremely healthy and in max flower mode. Both testers are looking amazing and always in a constant state of 'praying'! 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! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Feb 15th All three plants are doing well They have all been bent over to grow sideways Feb 17th More LST, all is well. Feb 18th Changed out nutrients This week I added 18l of nutes with slightly stronger mix at 75% strength. I will change on next weeks update Feb 21st Plants have used approximately 6 litres since the 18th They are all looking healthy but for some reason they aren’t growing in length that much. They are producing many new branches but the branches are becoming to compacted close together.

Muay Thai is still slowly growing. She is 65 cm tall. This week grow is slight and won’t turn her into a 3-meter sativa dominatrix. The key thing is that she won’t finish any time soon if she keeps growing. My experience is that Thai sativa can go for nearly a year. I doubt it is the case for this auto. But Muay Thai sure takes her time. The good thing about longevity is that head high seem to increase with flowering time. Muay Thai is in the sunniest spot. Bad part about this spot is that she is next to aphid and black mold nest. Neighboring plant is a hibiscus and magnolia. This is aphid season. With aphid sugar secretion, there are black mold everywhere. I think it is aspergilus niger and not that dangerous. Still, I went overboard with anti-pest microbe spray. The microbes comes in wheat flour format. And after frequent spray without the rain, white marks accumulate on leaves. Growing environment, midst of tropical winter. By European standard, mild climate but with 11 hours day light. VPD T RH % Hottest 1.88 28 50% Morning day 1.40 23 50% Night 1.21 18 41% Feeding what I am feeding my other plants. This is milk, molasses, and fish bone tea. Muay Thai would be fine without the feeding. But since I already made it for other plants and I don’t think it will overdose Muay Thai, I also fed here with these.

scratch what I said last week, trichomes still milky and buds just getting more and more dense, in my last grows i’ve always been low on weed by the time harvest rolls around but i’m not this time so i’ll just be letting it go until I have to pull it.

Almost week 10 This grow went by soo fast. I watered with molasses and the kelp4less extreme blend ph to 5.6 range. digital meter says 6.1 but my fluid tester is orange with slight tint of yellow. ppm going in are low and is pulling out about 700ppm of salts. highest its ever been for this stage . but from what it started out as I got it to normal ranges with out plant freaking out. added a video and a few pics of the veg side. I got new tsw2000 light in as a backup the new design is soooo much better then ones i bought. I also got my order in from seedsman og kush , peyote wifi cbd , strawberry grape banana , and white widow regular. Can hardly wait to start the breeding! So far the mite sighting looks to be a one off fluke as no others have been spotted.

Sono un po’ in ritardo ma posso già commentare questi boccioli di Gorilla Cookies FF perché sono già stati trimmati e puliti per essere curati in barattoli di vetro. Non ho avuto particolari problemi nel crescere queste ragazze, l’unica cosa che purtroppo non ho potuto mantenere sotto controllo era la temperatura che nelle ultime settimane era arrivata quasi a 30ºC :-/ e questo non è stato di aiuto alle piante a cui ovviamente non piace stare sotto queste temperature di continuo…nonostante questo e alla poca compattezza dei fiori sono super contento del gusto e dell’odore che ricordano tanto i terpeni della Calypso Sun Rock di Anesia Seeds, sarà che ho trovato un fenotipo che condivideva gli stessi geni con cui sono imparentate entrambe! Inoltre è stata la prima volta che ho avuto il piacere di utilizzare il super soil di Dogma Organics che sicuramente ha esaltato al massimo le particolarità della pianta e confermo che la differenza si sente, le piante crescono a meraviglia con struttura solida e zero carenze di nessun tipo se si usa con giuste quantità e tempi sia il top dress che le giuste quantità di acqua che dovrebbe sempre essere la cosa più importante dove bisogna imparare a capire i bisogni in base allo stadio di crescita…in più ho condiviso alcune foto del mio giardino di quest’anno :)) Fast Buds super consigliato genetiche ottime e selezioni veramente interessanti

Alot of trial and error on this gal and shes fast to spring back, resilient to a lot-- hot res temps, training, etc. beautiful plant and genetics!

Sono felice di queste varietà, impressionanti come si adattano ai cambiamenti climatici italiani e soprattutto resistono ai parassiti tipo afidi e lepidotteri. Sono tante piante,diverse varietà da 4 banche dei semi mondiali quindi descriverle tutte sarebbe assurdo. Ogni varietà cresce abbondantemente, iniziano tutte a riempirsi di infiorescenze resinose,profumate e abbastanza appiccicose alcune. Sono rimasto sorpreso per la dimensione di alcune varietà, sono tipo di taglia XXL e non si fermano, continuano ad allungarsi e ad allargarsi nonostante sono poco distanti una dall'altra. Sembra una piccola foresta di autofiorenti felici e con il caldo estivo in arrivo non faranno che migliorare! Prevedo tanta abbondanza di qualità! Complimenti a tutte le banche semi che ho scelto! Un abbraccio

Soo! Eventful week in the tent as I think I I have discovered a lot of my problems with slow growth. So I purchased an EC meter at the beginning of the week and decided to test my run off (rookie mistake this was the first run off since the air pot transfer) and it's fair to say my EC was EXTREMELY fu**ing high... like 3.6 high so this week the first flush I did quarter strength feed I got the run off down to 2.8 then next flush it came down to 2.2 at half strength and the last flush was half strength with an introduction to terpinator and the run off came down to 1.6. It's fair to say I have notice a incredible difference in growth I really want to switch over this week but I'm going to let the plants recover and flick the next week. Little bit worried about space but I love a challenge. Also been a bit of an expensive week as my carbon filter final packed up so I treat myself to a new ram air (6inch) Happy growing!

Plants are in good health and start to be covered of trichomes. Leaves beagan to be quite sticky and here and there trichomes seems to be a thin layer of icy snow. Completing the sixth week of flowering, plants overcome more than the half of flowering stage and I can't wait to see the final result.

First time grower - Day 3 - Seedling Stage Unknown strain, hopefully its a female Light meter currently reads 101 lux x100 Should I give it more lighting or put it closer to the plant? Using roots organic soil, should I prepare for nutrient feeding after week 1? And if yes, what nutrients should I feed them?

55 Dias se han cortado estas plantas muy tapida!! Variedad cargada de resina y cogollos duros como piedras, El olor a chucherias afrutadas es impresioannte en algunas plantas, estan 16 en las mallas de secado y 3 que han salido al fenotipo de gelato las he puesto colgadas, ventilador pequeño giratorio deshumificador y extractor, Es muy importante el secado que vaya despacio, si no despues de todo el trabajo que se ha echo lo puedes lanzar todo a perder, ahora cuando este seco al bote a que se curen las golosinas, Nos vemos en el siguiente cultivo que ya esta en marcha

2/11/21 time to flush HAPPY GROWING! 2/13/21. lol this grow may finish in another month, straight water and chill. I bought the carbon filter earlier in the grow and I know it's helping BUT the KUSH scent is seeping out of the many pinholes in this mars tent and now I am in the candle business ...I have a AC INFINITY T6 ordered but I am thinking of holding back until a more reliable tent is here. Enjoy the weekend! Plants coming along..

Day 119. Will update later. This grow is almost finished .... Jar day - all is done, now cure left. Happy Growing !!! P.S. if you are searching for Killer Kush, she got separate diary, my favourite of all 3 strains.

Did some low stress training this week that was interesting just wish I wold of started earlier

Start Woche 3 Blüte. Heute wurde das erste mal Entlaubt und ein paar der untersten Triebe kamen weg. Nun haben sie wieder etwas Luft. Die rechte Dame legt gerade einen zwischenspurt ein😳 (Hoffe die ist Ende der Woche mit dem größten Teil der Strech Phase durch)... Beide bekamen heute nochmal ein Topdress mit 2g/l Greenhouse Feeding BioBloom. Ansonsten ist das bisher ein sehr entspannter Run😌😌 Außer ab und an den Tank kontrollieren ist nix zu tun. Tag 15 Blüte Die Lampe wurde nochmal hochgehängt.. (nun ist Ende, höher geht nicht) Aber es kam endlich die Zusatzbeleuchtung an und wurde direkt eingebaut. 40W Fullspectrum als undercanopy und 48W UV (auch als Pest Control). Das Undercanopy ist mit der Hauptlampe an. Die UV ist erstmal auf 50% gedrosselt und läuft je 15min vor und nach der Lichtphase.
