New Grower Third Grow: Fast Bud #2, Mohan Ram, Pakistan Ryder

[A Gardener]

Looking good there Gardener

I am looking forward to further installment to your journal.

Don't forget to let us know at what day the pics of the plant were taken (ie day 1 seeds germinated etc) it help us keep track of what your plant should be doing and relative health etc.

John Innes #2 is a loam based compost, and as with all soil based composts can compact over time, if you use it again I would add some perlite to the mix to help give a more airy texture, which will help more oxygen get to the roots.

Keep those posts coming and lots of nice pics too

Peace & happy growing

Hi there. Thanks very much for that. Totally agree regards perlite, I have a shiny new bag on my shelf that arrived the day after I started this grow! I'd held out long enough due to laziness and parts so had to get going. It's there for next grow in August with some more good old JI#2

For me growing a day count doesn't matter too much, I think of grows more in stages. But I can see it'd be of use to anyone looking in so will try.

In the Garden today;

Fast Bud #2 (24 days from seed)
Pakistan Ryder - Mohan Ram (32 days from seed)



All three have endured a Fimming/topping. Results varied and still to be seen. All girls lush and green.

Had a developing problem with fungus gnats. Have caught a lot on sticky pads and today doused with nematodes.

Fast Bud#2 -27days
Pakistan Ryder - Mohan Ram -35 Days


I've switched to water and 1/4 strength bud ignitor for the PR and Mohan. FB getting 3/4 strength veg/rhyzo nutes.

Haven't seen any gnats, hopefully nematodes also killing larvae.

Whilst I've topped and supercropped photos before, I previously LSTed my autos. After taking advice and encouragement on here I wentand attempted a FIM on all three girls.

The Pakistan Ryder has resulted in more of a topping, I think I took too much. But I plan to LST that apart and there will be 6 nicely spaced bud tips.


I think I will have achieved a better 'fim' with my Mohan Ram.


Fast Bud#2, again I think this will be a topping



Results will be varied but I'm optimistic. Don't be scared of the scissors people.

Fast Bud#2 - 29 days

I've been and bent my girls over and tied them down tonight.
