These babies are exploding in growth and vigor honestly I didn't need to Scrog them jus made it easier to split branches and keep each other off each other but loving this grow hope it turns out awesome so I can enter one of these babies in the DGC cup plus the east coast conissuers cup in Richmond VA shoutout to all VA growers doing the dam thing

26.12.24: These are my 2 best plants P1 and P2 Purple Punch, they are looking great! Not sure what happened to P3. They are in early flower/ pre-flower with the pistils clearly seen on P2. I am also hoping to tie some of the branches down to help light penetration on the lower canopies. I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2201 ~ 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: 12/1- I soaked both seeds 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 roughly 24 hours later. 12/3- Today the tap root on one of the seeds was about 1/4 to 3/8" so at 11 am I transferred it into a Jiffy Peat Pellet that was hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph using a tine off of a plastic fork as a 'mini trowel' to make a hole in the pellet and to gently cover the tap root, leaving only the seed head slightly exposed. This method accomplishes most of the initial work the seed has to do by eliminating having to orientate itself, push it's root down and head up. By 10pm the #1 seed had her cotyledon leaves opened ...calling the #2 a 'fail to germinate' and I'm not going to soak another... We'll let it ride with just one of this tester. 😉👍 12/5- Well this is Day ONE for the #1 FBT #2201! I'll keep her in the covered/heated Jiffy tray until I see her roots beginning to emerge from the peat pellet, then I'll transfer her gently into her 4g Gronest fabric pot from FastBuds. 12/7- Yesterday I checked her, she had roots starting to emerge from her pellet so tomorrow I'll transfer her into her 4g Gronest pot. 😎💚 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! 💪😎🤙

welcome to 📅 Day 8 of flower 7/12/2021 they are growing very well and are drinking lots 10 gal a week I'm hoping that they stop the stretch and start to fatted up as I am running out of space lol. next update on thurs till then happy growing and as always keep your stick on the ice 🏒 I would like to say a few words about Mars Hydro. the TS 1000 is a great light and I love the fact that the power supply is capable of being separated from the light and located outside of the tent to keep the heat down. I also like the fact that you can control the light intensity and daisy chain with another light witch is what I plan on doing.

Starting to see bud formation this week the temperature outside is really high creating good light out temperature around 18c and plants thriving from it been waterd more than usual

Getting the chop next few days going sitn her in darkness for a few days too see what happens

Not an overly impressive strain and I would say she was not that hard to grow. If I even grew this one again I would let it go naturally with some LST. Wanted more grape flavours but they don't really come through in the smoke. There's a bit of a sharp fruity smell that's sort of piney with a hint of fuel at the end. The smoke is not too flavourful in my opinion but that just means I didn't grow it well. Super tight nugs so be careful with humidity as stated above. Also she's a bit of a light feeder so be careful with your nutes. As you can see I burnt her tips and over fed her a lot. Not a bad yield though! I've only really smoked the lowers on this one so far so that gave me a bit of a racey high, just slightly racey. I would accredit that to the lowers not being mature enough at chop. The plant is super dense and since I mainlined it the lowers didn't receive enough light. I tried to let the lowers mature more but the plant stopped maturing when I chopped the tops, this caused stress and the plant just shut down basically. Not sure if I would grow Blimburn's GDP again until I grow the real GDP.

Alright! final thoughts I pulled 93.7gs I think I could have pulled more. Ill do a couple things different next time, better soil, maybe coco and better feeding schedule! I think I couldve fed her more with no problems! super strong strain! 100x100 recomended and ill definetly will get a higher tent and a better light for sure!0

Nice strain

This plant is completely organic. I only poured water and 2tsp of coffee grinds. She is very healthy and growing fast. Cant wait for her to be ready. :)

Cut down at day 80. I cut the first plant at day 56 and washed a lot of it into FF live rosin. First time doing that’d got lower yields than I wanted but think I know how to bump them up on the next wash! The 56 tasted good but trichomes weren’t as mature as I wished they would be. I’m thinking the 80 day will be not enjoyable. This 80 day plant will be mostly for smoke.

Increased Buddy to 1mm p/l. Really impressed with these nutrients so far, there's been no problems or defeciences the entire grow. All plants look happy, healthy and green. This plant is on the left of the timelapses.

I'm anxiously waiting for it to dry, good colors and smell

Aun no e terminado con ellas pero para ser mi primer scrog lo veo bien o que me decís vosotros?

Day 49: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 840 ppm, 1785 us/cm, PH 6.5 Day 52: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 727 ppm, 1551 us/cm, PH 6.5 Day 54: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 869 ppm, 1848 us/cm, PH 6.4

Giorno 14. Le 5 Cream Mandarine XL sono tutte simili come il giro precedente e di questo sono molto contento perché vuol dire più spazio nel box, più circolazione d'aria, più penetrazione di luce e meno defogliazione 😊 A settimana prossima e grazie del passaggio!!!

Think these ladys are gonna be big 🤔

Hello to everybody, we are at the end finally. The plant gave me 29.2 gr of dry flowers. Not a bad result for such a little plant. Overall was quite easy to grow it, no major problems. The smell is truly amazing! The main buds are thick af but the little ones are very airy and empty. My target was 30 grams so im super happy of the results. The plant dried for 10 days and today after dry trimming the material was jarred together with some Boveda 2-way humidity pack. At 62%. I believe i dried a little bit too much my buds unfortunately, let's hope the pack will mitigate a lil the issue. Overall im satisfied, now the buds will cure for about 1 month or 2 and then I will smoke the shit out of it ahahhaha. Today I will smoke my first gram not cured, I saved 2 grams for a trial. I will smoke one gram in the joint and one gram inside the Volcano. I really want to try it properly. Thanks for the company on this journey. Now full focus on my new grow. Thanks. The Holy Herb.

Day 106: removed some yellowed leaves. Decided to wait one more day on water. Not adding any more nutrients. Assuming harvest in 14 days. Day 107: Added one gallon of pH6.5 water with 2tablespoons of Herculean Harvest Day 108: Removed yellow or brown leaves. Added no water. Trichomes clear. The urge to harvest is huge but will go 2 more weeks. Removed a box elder bug that sneaked into the tent. Day 109: nothing new to report. Added no water. Tempted to add nutrients once more. After taking photos, removed several yellowing or browned leaves. Day 110: did not add water. Removed some more leaves. Day 111: did not add water. She is starting to look frosty. Read some mixed messages about the last two week flush and am feeling the urge to feed again. Day 112: Replaced Viparspectra 600W with a Horticulture Lighting Group Quantum Board 288 V2 and Slate 2 heatsink. Very pleased although my temperature jumped to 81°F.

They both have started to flower! So far so good both plant seem to be doing great with no issues.
