FastBuds Photo-Lemon Mandarin

10 gallon potato pots with Lemon Mandarin from FastBuds. The seed is germinating and should be ready to plant tomorrow.

Not much to see here.

What's it take to get 100 out of this setup!!!!

This grow VS. last grow

Performed actiontype.watering

A little early on my timeline, but she looked ready. Pre-transplant time-lapse.

It's all tuned in. Topping upcoming.

4.25" day 19-20.

Before and after, topped node 5, kept 3 and 4, removed 1 and 2.

I watered with about 1 liter, added around 2" of fresh soil, and watered with an additional 1 liter. Relocated my camera.

I would say almost zero time lost after I topped 2 days ago

2 liters of dechlorinated tap water @ 6.3 ph. Removed clips from fan leaves.

1st attempt at a radial mainline

Next topping in 2 days. And my environment is 99% better than other growhub app users. Whaaat?!? Do I get a prize if I get 💯.

Topped again, and added 1/3rd dose of strive nutrients. Pics are last night then this morning.

I must say, I am enjoying the topping experience so far. 3-5 days, and I'm topping to 16 mains and maybe minor defoliation.

Getting close to topping to 16.

Still not sure if I stop at 16 tops, or push to 32. I am in a 3x3 tent and will have a vivosun aero drain d12 dehumidifier for flower. Any suggestions or observations??

Set up for next topping 8->16. 1 to 2 days at most. Gave a full gallon 3.8 liters of 1/3 dose ph'd at 6.5.

Progression is 1st top to 4 mains, and 2nd top through 8 mains. I will be topping (3rd) tonight to 16, then I will reassess for 4th potential topping to 32 mains.

Topped and clipped leaves, lowered VPD.
Up to 1 gallon per water/feed

1 gallon of dechlorinated tap water, ph'd at 6.2. I am enjoying topping this.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the C-Bus region, snow outside and sunny weather inside = nice buds.... This timelapse is hourly, and covers the 5 days after topping. I think in about 3 days, my final topping to 32 mains.

The plant looks a little crowded, but I think I will top for the last time today. Worse case scenario is I remove a few shoots and take it down to 28-30 tops. Last grow I had 2 plants and 32 tops. With the new D12 dehumidifier from vivosun, I am not as worried about humidity spikes.

I am done topping, now shaping over the next 1-2 weeks, switch to vertical growth, then flip. With any luck I will flip around 50 days of veg. I increased my nutrients to 2/3rds dose at 2700 ppm in 1 gallon. Let's see how she handles that. I am going to have to increase the water in 1 or 2 cycles.

About 6 liters of dechlorinated tap water ph'd at 6.05. Raised the plant 10 inches, increased the light to 52% at 47DLI.

Cut all leaves from the underside, I am hoping for 2 more weeks until flower. Almost 11 inches tall.

Nutes last night at 2/3rds one more time. 2300 ppm at 6.15 ph. This can be an art form for sure. She is still very healthy, now red flags so far, at all. I really an dig
ging this Strive 2 part system. Next week I will increase to full strength. And do that for 3 rounds, with water in between. Please if anyone has anything they see that I do not feel free to let me know.

I am timing about 7 days till I flip as long as she is still looking healthy. Today I just removed some undergrowth and pulled the tops even.

From final top through 2 weeks of veg, I flushed at the end of video to break up the salts. She brighten up and growing very fast. I removed the clips this morning and will be applying my first pre-flower scrog net. Flipping when she spreads a little.

New view from my camera. Got my numbers back up. 10 days of sunlight in a 7 day period. I have the Vivosun smart heater on the way. Can't wait to flip this lady.

I let it dry back a bit much after minor flush, moved to max strength strive, 3000ppm at 6.2ph. 6 liters. Timelapse shows progress is positive. I thinned out the lower leaves, and at the end of the video I added some clips to level it out.

Day 57, yesterday I watered with 6 liters of dechlorinated tap water. She is blowing up, she was about 17-18" and I pulled down the dominant tops. Need to spread out those auxins. Just about 5-7 days till I flip. Still my heathiest and longest veg.

Plant is 17" tall, mostly trimmed, and I looking to flip when she is 20-22". Fed again today at full strength, 3000 ppm at 6.2ph. 5 liters total, mild runoff. Not concerned about the runoff numbers because she looks healthy. This is where is starts to get interesting. My manifold is looking crazy

12 day time lapse, watered yesterday morning, 5 liters of dechlorinated tap water at 6.2ph.

I flipped her on Saturday, I tried on Friday, but my Growhub app was acting up. So Friday night was the first 6 hours of darkness, then started 12/12. I watered once, and tomorrow I am feeding full strength again.

My current feeding cadence is water, feed, water, feed, water. I am giving her full strength strive @ 3000 ppm, ph at 6.4. She is currently 28" at 11 days into flower. I will be removing about 10% of the inside fan leaves in the next couple days. My light is at 68% and I am stepping it up a little bit more in 3-4 days.

She is over 30" from soil after lowering and spreading a few inches with the net over time. Another several inches hopefully, but probably closer to 5. Maybe 10ozs when all is said and done.

I think this one may stretch past the 21 day mark, she is booming!!! Last 2 plants were at 30" on day 21, this one is well ahead of that number. I love the timelapse.

Let the bulking begin.

All is well, starting to bulk. Looking good.

I got to sample the pieces from the day 21 defoliation, and I think this one is my best so far. Raised the watering to 2 gallons. Spread out the plant one last time, slowly reducing the rh to as low as I can get by week 7 of flower. Timelapse is from day 14 to day 28 of flower.

Starting the 6th week. 3-4 weeks to go, I will start weening the nutes down now.

Everything is looking good, my runoff ppm is lowering nicely. Buds are swelling.
