Thank you so much for your recognition! I absolutely love your genetics with a little love they really can put out quality smoke and lots of it!
Heavy girl easily over 4 oz dried maybe even 6 oz. we will see!
Luckily I have plenty of room so I don’t feel like I have to rush her.
I’ve got the 2 freebie gelato on the left. The skunk girl is at least going to run another week, she’s turning more yellow than I like if I had known how long she was going to run I would have top dressed more hot soil. The Cream Cookie is almost done already, I’m going to let her run longer than I normally would for some sleeping medicine.
The young adults are moving along fine with the bell of the ball being Orange back right.
Just waiting for seeds to pop to fill the holes and keep on rolling.
Since this freebie Gelato flowered so late in life I decided to go ahead and top dress 1 more time trying to make sure it doesn’t run dry at the end like the yellowing Skunk next to her.
I’ve been throwing shade at the freebie pair but this one is moving along nicely throwing some nice frost already. Shouldn’t be such a snob I just have never been let down by Fast Buds, I run a tight ship and they keep it that way.
Yes she’s my fav right now, did a little defoil to the Orange girl today.
Defoil’ed the Lemon Pie girl and the CBD Crack also this morning. Defoil at this age means cutting all of the branch starts below and close to the top rim of the pot, anything hanging below the pot line is gone, also walk up the main stem of the plant pulling the leaves from the major branch starts trying to open up the middle. I’ll do some LST at this time just to open them up more. Plants like the Orange and the Lemon will require another thinning out later on in life, but the little CBD is probably set for life.
Burying a peat pot in your pot gives you direct access to how wet the dirt is in middle of the pot. The peat acts as a wick and by giving the edge of the peat a touch you can tell, cold and wet (soil saturated), wet but room temp (soil drying out not ready), feels dry but peat still pliable ( can be watered but better to wait). peat pot hard (she’s thirsty).
Did take note that the Strawberry Pie girl got a little burned up from the top dress. She will be fine just some crispy leaf tip and a little twisting. Kind of a necessary evil the top dress I do that to expand root growth to the top of the pot.
I have my mixed dirt in the tote on the right and on the left is soil removed from the pots after harvest roots, peat pots, papertowel all of it. I put in 2 1/2 gal. of hot soil in the bottom and 2 1/2 gallons of the other on top.
Take my 5” peat pot, use a drywall screw to make extra holes in it. I just need the pot to hold seedling soil not keep roots in. Fill the little pot with seedling soil.
I push my finger in the seedling soil to create a hole for the root plug. Sprinkle worm casting and mycorrhizae products in the hole. Tear apart the plug a little to help get the seed down in the plug easier.
Here is the tricky part. Per Fast Buds instructions the seeds sit in RO water till they pop then get transferred in the peat plug. It’s very tricky making the transfer from water to plug just be careful. Once I get the seed transferred very carefully point the little foot down in the plug with just the very top of the seed showing. Stick the plug in the hole fold up paper towel to cover the soil. And carefully water the little pot with a half gal. of water. Set the big pot in a drip pan with cut up plastic hanger in the bottom, and your done. Planting the seed this way can result in the seed casing not coming off properly. When this happens remove the seed casing only after you get it wet (without watering) drip water on it leave for a minute drip a little more and the casing will come right off.
