Fast buds grow bout to go down.

[#1cheesebuds]

Smoke Report: It's really good herb. Its Very relaxing but with no couch lock effects. ��������
It has a kinda spicy tast and a over all good buzz.
Super lime green with a hint of purple color.
This one is a keeper and i have a few more seed of this one and plenty of other strains of fast-buds seeds left to grow.

Nice way to celebrate 420. What was the # of grams finished?

Even though the plant was bigger this time it still didn't yield enough not like advertised. And I even grew it in a 5 gallon pot of soil this time. I have more FB seeds to try. I don't know what i can do to get a bigger yield. Maybe feed it grow food during veg mode, maybe mix perlite into the soil, maybe even use bloom food druing the flower cycle.

So i just now planted another FB TEST SEED #6--m2, up to 10 weeks, mostly sativa, effect active, taste acid, very recommended for extractions, has a lot of resin. This is what the FB company told me about this strain.
So she'll be grown in a 5 gallon smartpot under a 230 watt cob led lamp. Hopefully i get to finish this one and hopefully she grows at least 2-3 ounces yield.
So now i have 17 auto FB seeds left to grow and a few 1000 a regular seeds to grow at some point in the future.

Wish me luck all you auto growers out there.

I will watch and learn from you and others

Possible reasons of current situation/remedies:

1. Better genetics
2. LED that has entire spectrum of light
3. Many breeders exaggerate yield
4. Over fertilizing or not diluting additives, stressing them from over/under fertilizing.

I have grown photo fems for 8 years in two gallon pots, topped a few times under two 400 watt lamps(HPS and MH). I have now grown Fast Buds autos once, and Mephisto autos twice. I was disappointed in the end product of fast buds. I was much happier with the potency of the Mephisto autos on the last 2 grows. There is no chance that autos will yield what you can get out of photo plants because you control the veg time and topping, thus a much larger plant when you kick it into flower. My photo fem grows produced twice as much bud by weight, even after I increased the pot size to 3 gallon air pots. Accept them for what they are, and they did cut about a month off the total grow time. That used to be an advantage for me.

or try to improve your growing methods/skills on them.

Amen, WHIPEDMEAT.

The seed has sprouted. Once it starts the first true leaves I'll plant it in the soil.

Even if FB dosen't yield as much as other auto brands, these 21 seeds were free and they do cut my growing in half. That being said, if I lived in a legal state I could buy fem clones and still cut down my growing time.

high humidity, and warm temperature is what needed now

Up date. Two of the FB seeds didn't sprout. So 3ed times a charm. This one is now growin and smells skunky. Gunna plant in 3 or so gallon pot soon.

Better right now than soon .

 

[#1cheesebuds]

Now in a bigger pot.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

Update. Starting to pick up the growth pace now. I have noticed other people that grow auto flowers top there's to grow it more bushy and get more Flower tops. Should I top it or leave it alone?

Seeing how your other FB attempts haven't reaped much and you don't know the genetics, don't top.

Hi, Aridbud is right, and LST is a nice way .

 

[#1cheesebuds]

Last night i tied her down some.

 

[aridbud]

^ Great!

So far growing green and strong. Do any of you feed your autos? If so what do ya feed? Grow food or bloom food or anything else or nothing at all.
