Fast Buds Fast Buds Spring 2022 Grow & Show

[Rasterman]

On the right is FBT2201 and on the left, Trainwreck. I'm excited about Trainwreck because of all I've heard about it. FBT2201 is in many ways very exciting because I have no idea what it is.

Got the seeds yesterday and put one of each to soak this morning in a mixture of well water and dried green coconut milk from Buildasoil. We're in the middle of a brutal cold snap and although my house is warm, it can be drafty. So I put it on the top of an entertainment center where it will be hidden and high and covered it with a baggy to protect it from drafts.

Data: I'm not a sophisticated grower and don't measure PH or PPM. I don't like to even measure out nutes, but I do because it's necessary. I like to keep it simple. So my yield might not be as high as the really experienced growers who care enough to push the plant to its full potential but I usually have happy, healthy plants.

Do your thing Rasterman. No two setups are the same and everyone still wins in the end.

The Eagle has landed deep in the frozen Virginia Mountains. I received my package from Spain today. I received the FBT2201 tester package, a bonus package of Strawberry Banana, a nice sticker and a freebie Russell Crow movie
Thank you very much @Fast Buds Heather . I will start the pre-soak period at 1pm EST.

Checked mail and found that the seeds arrived but since I was not home they would not deliver. I will pick them up First thing Monday morning at the post office

It is called having a "Green Thumb" some people are in tune with plants. I have seen it in many vegetable farmers.

I grew up with a huge garden in Northern California so you might have something there...

So I soaked the seeds all day and this evening, put them in pods and stuck the pods in 2L pots.

I watered the pots to saturation and covered them with disposable tumblers.

The water in the wells is no longer there - I dumped it in a more thirsty plant. In case anyone is wondering why I gave them so much water, this is a dry climate, they're in breathable media and by tomorrow the moisture level will be perfect.

I have never overwatered a plant indoors, though when trying an outdoor grow last summer the plants stayed in a perpetual state of oversaturation because of an unseasonably cold and wet summer (like I've never seen before).

I live at 7500' elevation though and anything is possible.

So pods=riots & tumblers=plastic solo cups? I think it so awesome to belong to this site. All of us from different parts of the country/world call things by different names, I love it!! (AKA....a Submarine sandwich or Hogie in my Boston accent is called a "Grindahh"...LOL)
Wow, you are up in there sweetie. Does that elevation affect cooking/baking at all? I believe my town is about 550'.

I realized that I use the word, "nutes" all the time. That grindah sounds good to me!

This elevation does affect baking. It throws off all the numbers but after a few years I figured it out. When recipes specify a range of time (bake at 350 for 12-18 minutes) you always pick the longest time in the range (18).

Pre soaked both FBT 2201 seeds from 2/5/22 1pm-1am 2/6/22 (12 hours).

Had one seed much larger than the other, will call it FBT 2201 #1, smaller will be FBT 2201 #2 for clarity.
They both went into seed pods in a base mixture of Fox Farms Happy Frog soil, worm casting were added about 3” under soil surface.

Both seed pods went into Red 16oz Solo Cups

Watered in with PH 6.3 water.

covered in a clear dome.
They spent the night on a seedling mat, covered with a bucket and temperature/humidity levels were stable.

Moved them to the tent this morning under the FC-E4800 light.
