Hello everyone. It is time to drop some more beans. My moonstone's and Yoda's Dragons Breath are on Day 50/40. I figure I will harvest in roughly 30 more days, both strains are flowering up nicely. So I figure I want to be able to harvest every 40 days, so time for more babies.
I decided on a Stone's Black Stone from autoflower-portal, and a Heavyweight Fast-N-Vast. Both are Fem beans. On my first grow I had some issues with low soil PH so I am going to amend soil this time. So here are the grow specs.

1x Stone's Black Stone Feminised
1x Heavyweight Fast-N-Vast
Pots= #3 smart pots
Soil= Promix HD amended with 3 tbs dolomite lime
Tent/Light for Blackstone= Apollo 2x2x4 tent w/mars-hydro 96x3 reflector series
Tent/Light for Fast-N-Vast= Gorilla 2'x2'x7' w/mars-hydro Mars II 400w
2x hurricane 171 cfm inline fan w/phresh filter
Light Schedule= 24/0
Nutrient Schedule= TaNgs Advanced Nutrient schedule https://www.autoflower.org/f26/tangs-new-improved-feeding-schedule-34408.html
Germination= Root Riot The Ronin way. https://www.autoflower.org/f74/germination-ronin-way-33891.html

Started germination 4/07/15 and had sprouts pop on 4/10/15. 100% success rate for me using Ronins method. Potted sprouts in #3 smart pots right away and dribbled a little water around the root riot cube. I am going to localize my watering to just around the sprout for now. My last grow I would water the whole pot and I don't think I got the tap root deep enough fast enough. So I will try something different this time. Any suggestions, comments or advice is always appreciated.

Blackstone & Fast N Vast Day 15 update

Day 15 for the fast-n-vast and Blackstone. They are doing well and have been fed nutrients since day 10, per Tangs schedule. Mrs. Steel fim'd the F.N.V. last night on the fourth node. We'll see how she does with it. Hope to get a bunch of big fat colas on this girl. Used Faded187 instructions on how to fim her. Thanks buddy for all the info. We will also fim the Blackstone in the next couple days when the fourth node comes up. The light height seems to be good and both plants have good node spacing. This is our second grow and Mrs.Steel and I are feeling a bit more comfortable with our set up. We learned so much on our first grow that this one is almost on cruise control. Soil ph is looking good and nutrients schedule seems to be right on. Here are a few pics.

I hope you enjoy. Only 20 more days to harvest on our first grow. Check it out. Link is in the signature.
 
Update day 25
Had some issues with a fungal/bacteria infection on the Blackstone. Removed the infected fan leaves and increased cal/mag. Pic is two days later.

Update Day 46
The girls are doing well. Really starting to flower up more. Something I have learned on this grow is, don't pay attention to what seed producers say as far as finishing times for plants. I think the 2F2V will go at least 70 days instead of the advertised 56 days. I am starting to learn how to listen to my plants and give them what they need by how they look or react to there environment. The Blackstone will probably be an 80+ day finisher also. Well time for some pics
