FastBuds Auto Run

ChickenJoe Domes are off! Three stout seedlings popped up after work on the 28th of May so we will call that day 1. Unfortunately, Strawberry Gorilla didn’t pull thru but I haven’t dug around in there yet. Bummed cuz that was my most anticipated seed because of its accolades so I am gonna have to give it another go next round. My rebuttal seed is a Gorilla Zkittles freebie from Fast Buds and I put that in PH of 6.5 water in my closet to get that taproot out. Hoping she will catch up fast. VPD is chilling at around 0.5 - 0.6 Kpa and they are getting around 245 ppfd. Giving roughly 1 - 2 oz of water every time they are dry which is about once a day. I love it when you can just barely see the razor leaves in the middle. Exciting growth to come!

ChickenJoe Soil PH meter says I'm in the high 7s but it could be wrong cuz its from walmart. First fan leaves are growing decent and I might have stunted them when I re-leveled the soil as it was piled up around the sides of the pot. Hope not but if the Gorilla Zkittles catches up like its doing then that will confirm that. Started bottom watering at beginning of the week as the pots were light and I wanted moisture at the bottom of the pots. Watered close to .5L on bottom of all then like .25L on top of the three larger and couple shots around the smaller one as a top watering. Was slightly damp on the bottom a few days later so a did a light bottom water again then top soil was dry so I watered .5L in all pots on day 10 but focused on watering down the sides of the pot and some to the central top soil but less for the smaller plant once again. Some dirt and water splashed up on the Purple Lemonade causing some yellow spots. I think it was from that because there is no yellowing on the new growth. Hoping for some vertical growth by the end of the 3rd week to bend down the main branch. Next water will probably be 300ml since the soil is still moist on the third day after watering. Thinking my week 4 soil amend is gonna be 50/50 all purpose and bloom with a mix of worm castings and mushroom compost. Lights @ 490 - 500 ppfd for the whole week. 0.45-0.6 kpa

ChickenJoe Slowly growing after the dirt was re-leveled. Bottom leaves were too close to the soil and may have gotten some fungal growth. Started treating with neem oil and ended up cutting the leaves as they began to spread.

ChickenJoe At the later parts of week 4 I trimmed some of the top growth to let the bottom growth get more light. I also pinned them down more to spread them continuing to further stunt them. I believe this sent them into preflower. I probably had another week in them as they are in 7 gallons and are still quite small. Next time. After 4 weeks from sprout passed I amended with 50/50 mix of 4-4-4 & 2-8-4 as well as a 50/50 mix of 4tbsp per gal of mushroom compost and earthworm castings. Stretched started hard the day after I took pictures.
