Welcome to my grow journal! I will keep everything very detailed here so if you're following along you may end up reading a lot! I will probably be updating everyday after they break soil. It is likely I will post pictures everyday along with the temperature and humidity. Feel free to ask questions, have conversations, comment, and make suggestions! However please do not ask questions about my other Grow that is currently flowering.I feel as if it would be disrespectful to FastBuds, if you would like to see my other grow it has its own thread in the indoor growing section.
Grow setup Information:
Grow Room: Apollo Horticulture 5'x5'x6.5' Tent [Link]

(# of plants)Strains:
(1)FastBuds Girl Scout Cookies [Link]
(1)FastBuds West Coast OG [Link]
(1)FastBuds Green Crack [Link]
(1)FastBuds Blackberry [Link]

(1)FastBuds LSD-25 [Link]
Notes:
- After the plants are established I will add sand to the top of the pots. I do this to keep fungus gnats away and it works well.
- I will not be adding anything to the soil. I have added perlite in previous grows and haven't been as successful as I have without perlite. NO PERLITE IS BEING ADDED.
- I am using HPS the entire grow, vegetative, and flowering with HPS. I may purchase a new light bulb, I may not.
- I may purchase another grow tent during this grow, it's about time for a new one.
- I've never used fabric pots before, I have always used five gallon buckets.
- If you would like to read the journal I will be posting a link to a Wordpress website soon so that you can read the journal without any comments.
I haven't yet started this grow yet but it will most definitely be started this week, at the latest Thursday. I think I will plant the seeds directly into the soil without germinating first. FastBuds seeds came in a tube which is perfect for pressing into the soil to plant. I will press the tube into the soil, remove tube, and then drop the seed into the hole created by the tube. The tube is 3/4 of an inch which should be perfect! If the seeds do not pop out of the soil I will not be planting new seeds as I only have one of each seed in my possession.
I am excited to start this grow! I've never grown more than four plants at a time. I am trying to keep the 6 plants in a 4'x4' area and will be placing each pot 2.5 inches apart from each other due to this. I know that doesn't leave them much room to grow, but I want to see what happens when I do this. I've been looking it up for hours and I figure the only way to figure it out is by doing it myself and see what happens!
Wish me luck and let's hope all these seeds pop out the soil. I will post again once I have dropped the seeds. Follow along for the ride friends, and you too @FastBuds
