I have a fastbuds test seed #5 which has purple buds. It will be day 77 of flowering on march 14th and thats from day 1 of hairs showing. Im trying to figure out when to harvest as I dont wanna harvest too early or too late.

Looking at the pistils I'm going to say you're pretty close to the right time. 11 weeks of flowering seems long for an auto, but who knows what its genetics are.

But ultimately you want to check the trichomes under a magnifying glass, jeweler's loupe, microscope or something similar.
Most people harvest when majority of trichomes are cloudy with some amber. Some prefer more amber for a more sedative effect. Others prefer more clear for a more energizing effect. Comes down to personal preference at that point.

Buy a jeweler's loupe...hobby stores, on line. Definitely a great tool to inspect trichomes.

Airbud for the win.


A 30X loop is what you need.


Just took down some of their Zkittles & not impressed at all.
Very small plants that are leafy and very tight structure wise.
Grown in 12L coco & three topped out at 30cm & will give around an oz. I have two more which are far better plants with A better open structure and far less leaf on them which will hit the 1.5 to 2OZ mark.



The Freebies I got from my buddy from RQ are better than the fast buds.



I hope the Tangie I have from them is better.
that being said I still have 5 more Zkittles seeds to grow.

Well part of the problem with my fault by messing up the ph early on and it never recovered back to full health. Also i could have used too small of growing pot. Also i have thousands of other regular seeds from good reggies from over the years. +around 9 more FB seeds to trst out.
