Welcome to the Vivosun Bud Factory, a Vivosun 5x5 upgraded grey tent equipped with the Vivosun Smart Grow System and the Vivosun VSF6450! I'll be growing four fruity dessert fem photos (Banana Pudding, Mango Mousse, Apple Betty, Forbidden Fruit) in a 45g RDWC system using @Prescription Blend.
The major upgrade this grow is the tent! On my last grow with the VSF6450 in the 4x4 I was wall-to-wall buds. So I upgraded to the Vivosun upgraded grey 5x5, giving me nearly 60% more area (16 sqft -> 25 sqft). Thank you @VIVOSUN for sponsoring this journal and al of the fantastic equipment.
This will be my first grow in the RDWC with four different strains. Thanks to @Herbies Seeds and @CannaPot for being sponsors in the contests where I received these seeds. Thanks also to @Prescription Blend for the fantastic nutrients. Please consider our Sponsors when buying your supplies!
I'll be growing in my 45g PA Hydroponics 4 plant Fallponic RDWC system. It has 4x13g grow sites and a 13g reservoir outside the tent, a 400 gpm inline pump to deliver 100g/hour of nutrient solution to each bucket, and a Vivosun 332 GPH Air Pump with a 2x4 Vivosun air stone in each bucket. Each site has a 8" netpot that will be filled with clay pebbles.
For nutrients, I'll be starting with MC+Silica in veg, working it up to around 1000 ppm (2 ec). I'll switch to Prescription Blend in flower. I'll use Hydroguard and z7 throughout, along with some other bennies.
If this all seems all too familiar, I started a similar journal for my Colombian Gold grow, but got stalled when only 2 of 5 seeds germinated. So, while I grow out a mother and get clones, why not grow some dessert!
What am I growing?
- Banana Pudding (Herbies): Featuring creamy banana with a dash of spice, this delicious strain is better than a banana split on a Sunday afternoon. Enjoy tropical fruits and a strong ripe banana aroma when you crack open the lid. Just a couple of hits of this 25% THC fruity delight will slowly but unrelentingly lull you into deep full-body relaxation with an uplifting mental linger.
- Mango Mousse (Herbies): Mango Mousse throws a tropical spin on desserts with her nuanced coconut and mango appeal. Expect intense fruity flavors and aromas that may surprise you! Smooth and creamy to smoke, the 21-26% THC Mango Mousse melts in your mouth, leaving you exceedingly calm and relaxed for hours on end. Her effects are perfect for classic Indica heads and although relaxing, are still very potent.
- Apple Betty (Herbies): Get ready for a trip down memory lane as Apple Betty shares a slice of mouth-enveloping wood-fired apple pie, along with hints of cinnamon and chocolate to keep you coming back for more. Like Grandma’s famous apple pie with a secret ingredient you wouldn’t expect, Apple Betty leaves you glued to the couch with heavy-handed euphoria after just one bite! And no wonder – its THC levels reach 33%! Enjoy staring at the wall watching psychedelic patterns emerge while your mind melts into a happy relaxation.
- Forbidden Fruit (Cannapot): Forbidden Fruit is the mouthwatering cross of Cherry Pie x Tangie. This sumptuous genetic cross expresses a beautiful dense bud structure with deep purple hues, dark green foliage, and wiry orange hairs. The terpene profile is a perfect mixture of Cherry Pie’s musky, sweet cherry undertones and Tangie’s loud tropical flavors. There are also notes of pine, mango, and passion fruit candy. The Indica effects hit hard between the eyes and lay into the body with each hit. Forbidden Fruit’s deep physical relaxation and mental stoniness make it perfect for dulling minor physical discomfort and discarding stress.
