This strain is just okay mostly because it’s not suitable for outdoor growing. There were a few different phenotypes and alll of them were overly sensitive to the temperature extremes (five nights near 0 C in mid-May and then three days at 37 C in late June). Most of these plants were obviously severely stunted by the cold and many were culled and replaced. The heat waves also caused a lot of distress for these plants compared to other strains that did fine. Some of that is due to the smaller 3 gallon pots that don’t do much to insulate the roots from the temperature extremes. Fast Buds doesn’t really recommend Smoothie for outdoor but I thought all of their strains would be good outside due to the ruderalis genetics. Unfortunately that was not the case and these Smoothies were an almost total bust. There were some decent yielders but the average yield was likely only 25-30 grams per plant which is far too low. A second batch of Smoothies were started in June (Late Smoothie diary) but those are also not that great. I won’t be trying Smoothie again as a commercial crop.

Works but not really needed for short indica plants.
Used once to deal with super soft well water. Works.
Excellent and easy to use. Also quite economical.

These were quite disappointing for an outdoor grow and I won’t be giving them another chance. Some of it is just bad luck timing relative to the weather, and using small pots (I won’t do that again) but I would prefer bigger plants. There are several other Fast Buds strains that do much better outdoor here including Girl Scout Cookies, Gorilla Glue, Pineapple Express, Northern Lights and OG Kush.

@Northern_Ent,for me dutch passion and some strain from royalqueen yielded good, like autohulkberry and autoultimate, the problem for fastbud in my experience was that the vegetative stage was too short for outdoor

@Northern_Ent,I love to smoke the herb that I grow😛, but it's the growing part that is highly addictive😵 as I've come to find out. Just can't wait to put some more beans in the soil😏, espescially with Autos It's always another EXPERIMENT😜. Grow BIG!!!

In my experience fastbud seeds are not the best for outdoor. Other seedbank are better

@pecorino, I usually top my autos as this helps to prolong the veg phase. Mine usually veg for 6-7 weeks and this is mostly due to the cool nights that slow their metabolism.

@pecorino, I pretty much have to grow autos this far north and I’ve had good success with strains from FB, Auto Seeds, original Sensible, and Crop King. The most promising this year are the Early Version photoperiods from Delicious seeds. Anyway, the point is not all autos are tough enough for outdoor but most of them are.

Supposed to be 35c today plus humidity, pushing 40, YUCK!!! good thing for central air, I keep my house at 72f(20c)approx. the tents in the basement never exceed 24c👍, so I'm thinking the Lambs Breath will stay inside for awhile longer, until this heat dissapates a little, hope all is well and stay cool😎.. Later!!
