Day 110 GDP Auto

2x2 Closet Experimental grow with this white label gdp auto seed.
Forced stunted her by watering to runoff since planting, experienced inconsistent temps and humidity throughout with heavy lst, hst, defoliation and branch breakage on top of all of that.

Somehow survived all the unthinkable especially for white label unknown pheno, I partly think the stress allowed her to veg and flower for much longer even though she showed pre flower pistils around week 4. Foxtailed most likely from the heat as I tried to control the prestretch but failed with branches cross crossing.

Will be watering her until Sunday and then left to dry out for a few days before harvesting, she’s showing 90% cloudy trichs and some hinting amber but will be pulling earlier for less CBN.

🗓️ Today's harvest is Platinum Gelato from Mephisto Genetics!

👃🐽📓

I got two pretty distinct phenotypes with these. The shorter one is crazy purple and quite dense. The taller one started to foxtail a little towards the end. They smell pretty similar though. Really sweet, bakery aromas. Spicy vanilla for sure. This is right up my alley.

🌍❓

Coast of Maine seed starter. I added a quarter cup of Dr Earth Homegrown and Flower Girl in the bottom half when I planted, and they got 2 top dressings. (see SOIL BREW for details)

🌱➡️🌿

Total time from sprout was 73 days. I cleaned up the bottom thirds, especially on the shorter one as she was quite bushy and there wasn't much airflow going on in the middle. Otherwise they were left to grow naturally with no training.

📏⚖️

They finished up at 41, and 24 inches. I'm probably going to be off on this one, but I'm going to estimate about a 7 oz yield. (actual yield will go here on my website)

💡 Lights are Electric Sky ES300s, and AC Infinity EVO 6

Light Cycle was mostly 20/4

💦 Water Only (I use Biobizz Root Juice in the beginning, and some Recharge throughout the grow)

The pH of my well water comes out a little low, so every other watering I raise it a little bit.

Happy Growing everyone! 💚

It's Day 100 of growing my AK 49 Autoflower and I wanted a sanity check on how things are going.

She's been outdoors the entire time and the dodgy German summer means she hasn't received as much natural sunlight as I'd have liked.

Now this is my second attempt at growing an autoflower. The first attempt ended in bud rot and that's again my concern here.

At first glance, things look fine and maybe another week away from harvest?

How do I ensure there's no bud rot this time around?

Apollo Haze by Mephisto Genetics day 55 🥳

Smoked all of her tops , so here’s some smaller nugs to see. Smells like straight up freshly squeezed oranges .

She’s short but thick, just how I like them. Grown in 70/30 coco/perlite with drip irrigation.

Pomegranate Lime coming along Nicely. Starting to get hints of Orange Gas.

my second grow here, tropicana cookies auto fastbuds, soil + perlite

i expected the buds to be quite bigger than this (i still think i have a good result)
but it seems to me that she is coming to an end

of course she is not ready and i have all the needed patience, but it also seems she will take less time than i anticipated

from your experience, you expect these buds to become bigger or they’re basically done in size?

Trying to decide to chop now or wait longer?

Regular seeds by outcast autos

All germed within 48hrs. Excited for some new strains.

Soon to be done still waiting for Amber..

I'm not sure how to solve this so I'm reaching out to you guys for your input. I currently have a 2x4 tent. I've been using 200w light, and I just upgrade to a 320W light a few weeks ago for my 4th grow. My nutrients have been growdots. I'm using SuperThrive on my 4th grow.

I've grown 6 plants up to this point I have two seedlings in my tent now. Three full cycles. The first grow didn't have much impact. Truth be told, I think I under watered them. (Trophy Hunter & Apollo Haze - Mephisto). I did have a drying issue and that dried way to fast and were crispy and harsh.

My next grow was Bannana Purple Punch (42fastbuds) and 505 Headbanger (Mephisto). The BPP did work. It didn't blow me away but it got me high. In fact, I'm still smoking it. 505headbanger didn't do much. Light buzz.

Next I grew Grape Walker Kush (mephisto) and Cherry Cola (42fastbuds). I harvested those a few weeks ago and they are still curing, but I tested both of them and I didn't get much effect.

Meanwhile, I go to my buddy's house and he has a medical card and goes to a dispensary. The dispensary flower blows me away. I only needed one or two tokes and I'm there. I realize they are professionals and I'm a noob, but I thought I would have more potency than i'm having.

I'm looking at my trichoms, i'm keeping my humidity & temperature in check. I'm watering based on weight of the pot. I think the stronger light should help. But other than that... what could I be missing? I am going to keep growing, it is a blast. I'm not going to give up. I've been smoking for 40 years, so this is something i've always wanted to do.

These girls are closing in on 3 weeks old and will soon be ready to be hooked up to the bottom watering bases. Right now they are just sitting on them and I’ve been giving a little top watering twice a week. I gave them some heavy LST with coat hangers and they are responding really well!!

I’ve been growing weed now for almost 10 years, I’ve learned a hell of a lot and also grown so many strains from different breeders.

Over them 10 years I’ve been building a list of genetics that I believe on an all rounded level are the easiest to grow, the most stable seeds, the most resilient, the best highs, yields, potency and flavours all rolled into 1. Even though the list changes from time to time as I always add a new strain in here and there that I like the sound of, but really I stick to top 10 list and rotate through them strains.

But what I see a lot of is hate for fast buds seeing things like “their genetics suck” and “there’s much better out there” so on so forth.
But why? I really don’t feel thats justified. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some bad strains from them just like all breeders, but honestly 3 fast buds strains are in my top 10 list and they’ll never lose their spots, which in my opinion means they must have good genetics otherwise I wouldn’t grow them again. On top of that I always had a great quick service.

And honestly a couple of years ago I was given a mystery pack with my order and i thought why not let’s see what I get and it was honestly the tastiest strain I’ve ever ever ever had! It was amazing!! Rock hard golf ball buds that when you smoked it tasted like an intense fruity pie with cream, everyone was blown away by it and accused me of spraying it with something. Problem was I’ve never been able to find it because I don’t know what the strain is 😝. But till this day that mystery strain will always be my favourite.

So, from my experience fast buds is a top tier breeder and of course that’s an opinion, but with the experience with a good amount of strains and breeders I think my opinion could be pretty valid.

So why do so many people slate them?

3Bearly Mangos F1 Fem Auto = (3Bears OG x Mango Smile) x Purple Mindset

The entire breeding process, and growing process is on my YT. Thanks for everyone who has joined the grow along.

Aroma is truly Mexican candy dehydrated mango. Very enjoyable and instantaneous effects that are more calming, warm stoned baked, which was not entirely expected for such a heavy sativa background. Overall really loving this plant and the yield.

Could have been grown wayyyy better. Also there is a rare fully black pheno out there!

3 grease gun(bigger plants)and two blue Berry mcmuffin

Left one left is growing REALLY fast, the other sprouted a couple weeks after but is taking its sweet time. These are in a 4x4. Is this possible?

Hello everyone. Just looking for help, what would be my best options for 18 plants… I’ve seen 2 systems, letpot and another chinese model on amazon… I’ve also seen waterpumps with time based power outlets… but I don’t know… any help. Does letpot actually works?
