Okay so to get started the winner of D.O.M IN APRIL WAS MY GORILLA GIRL XL AUTO which won me these fastbud seeds ..
Forbidden runtz
Blueberry auto
Wedding glue
These plants have alot to stand upto so the setup will be the same 18/6 lights and nutes will also be on par with the last grow same soil canna terra pro 😀 I like this stuff
Lighting is now hybrid lighting
X660w hps
X 1 drawing real 300w led and 45w real draw full spectrum
Growing 5 forbidden runtz and 5 wedding glue
More outtake to try and push a insane harvest looking to achieve more than the 18.5Oz from the last harvest From @sweet_seeds promoted grow ... let's go @fast_buds
18-6-21 Seeds into glass of pre boiled water ( room temp ) 18 hours
Placed directly into substrate
My room at 400w x2 is running at 28.5 oc which I need to lower as the warmer days will bring in higher temps
I've ordered a WHISPER Fan standing ocaliating
So on the 18-6-21 wedding glue and runtz from fastbuds have been seeded in pots and are running at 25oc with x2 400 hps total space 1.5 x1.2 meters
This same setup pulled 18.5 Oz from the last run hoping to up this towards 30 Oz
... 19-6-21 .. nothing new to report lights at 250w X2 hps , also running my new WHISPER Fan, working great for noise control 👍
No seedling as of yet will water when needed only . Temps had a high of 28 low of 21oc
Ppm. 000 ( soil provides nutes until week 3 )
p.h 6.4 ( only after nutes added p.h then )
R.Humidity 50%
20.6.2021 - went and checked ✔️✅ just making sure all the seeds where in the right directions.. so all 10 have popped there root outside the shell and some have rooted already about 1 inch , this is the only time I'll remove them and turn them round to help the rooting process when there upside down it can cause problems with damage to the young seedling 🌱 ... I must say I think these seeds might germ within a 72 hours window
48 hours 10 out of 10 seeds germination complete , that's about 4 days quicker than my last grow which I'm pretty impressed about
Added two LEDs one is about 175w and the other is 45w so we have two HPS running at 250 with the two leds in center and Jesus the lights make it a more pleasant white also IR AND UV ADDED also . This gives us a little tatste of the full spectrum end and also the hps high blue and high red outputs. I've tested HPS ONLY AND HPS LED and the hybrid lighting where 10 inch taller 💐 so hopefully I can get these girls off to a pretty good start with the correct lighting ... my only problem is heat... its 28oc in my room with seedling 🌱 I need this down to 23.5oc
Day 1 / week 1 Okay so the 22- I'll say they will all have germinated
Wedding Glue
being a very strong start for all 5 seeds are all frist up above ground .
Planted from seed on the 18-6-21 it's now the 20-6-21 that's two day germination directly from substrate that's improved my germation by about 2 to 3 days faster for all plants
Forbidden 🚫 Runtz
So second to germination that's okay as 5 out of 5 looking really well and only hours beside the Wedding Glue
@fastbuds 10/10 on germination directly into substrate
Day 2
Okay it's 22-6-2021 All 10 seeds are approx about 4inch been watered once since being sowed and will water again when the soil is dry to promote more root growth.. as I'm using fabric pots they tend to dry out pretty evenly and fairly quickly for the little uptake a seedling 🌱 will use ... I recommend no more than 0.25liter for your frist watering ( p.h 6.4 ) this is important for the small plant to be able to uptake from the soil effectively.
Will water 0.25 when needed again same ( p.h )
Seeds are two days old and 3 inch tall all 10 , with the hybrid lighting producing a very bright full spectrum range I'm pretty happy we will continue upto inch per day growth
This would leave the plants hopefully 30 - 40 inch tall 3 to 4 foot
Autos are tricky people and your Veg has to be on point to achieve the higher yields LST is a must and a ScrOG would maximise yields even more... this hybrid lighting will help during these summer months to keep par up but heat low and also a good harvest. This grow ive decided to keep the hybrid lighting on even if temps lower my last grow I used a total of 1320w for 500 grams this grow I want the same yields with half the lighting cost, I'm running 18 hours on off cycle which will start tomorrow . Also connecting the other rvk extraction fan to help remove excess heat from the grow space.
Day 3 and everything is looking really good, wedding glue has a fatter frist true leave that the Forbidden Runtzs with its thiner and darker shade of green
Temps sitting about 26.5oc to 31oc but plants seem to enjoy it mainly it's warmer around 12 to 6 with it being summer season
Lights are 24 hours as ive found autos are
Designed to flower as there Name suggest , 18 - 6 lighting is good but in 21 days that's 126 hours of extra growth if handeld with care
Day 4 . Looks really good , have a slight stretch but that I'm hoping for as I've added more soil about 3 inch per pot the girls must be at least 5 inch , frist glimps of the frist nodes are appearing dead center of the plant
Day 5 - girls all look happy , no water needed
Lighting is 24-0 with autos during veg I've found this works much better keeping conditions perfect around 20oC - 25oC
Frist nodes are appearing looks good and pretty fast growing .
Lights where hung again alot more even m/mols per second are 300 approx per plant and at the netting height of 25inch the m/mols per second are approx 1200 with ( DLI ) DAILY LIGHT INTAKE 91% . lights can remain in there position throughout this grow which will allow the plants to grow into the higher par of light as they grow . Lights are hung approx 5 foot from plants
X2 HPS 250WATT high pressure sodium
1X led
175WATT plus 12 band spectrum
1x led
45WATT full spectrum uv and ir
Flowering area approx 1.5m x 1.5m x 1.6m
Hopefully these girls take well to topping approx day 21 if conditions are suitable then ScrOG will keep plants opened up with LST keeping these girls opened up will increase yields dramatically.
28-06-21 writing ✍️at the end of week one , been a very successful week with germantion included I reckon this is pretty awesome and shows really good genetics from the 🌱 seedling / seedbank. @420fast_buds 10/10 on start of vegging
Hey people week 2 has started and days 8 and 9 went well no water was giving
Day 10 -
01-07-21 watered (p.h 6.4) no nutes
Plants are onto the 3rd nodes which is 3 days infront of the last run with different genetics I'm not saying the genetics where bad I think I've got better results with the HYBIRD LIGHTING than the HPS alone . The temps are stable with the hps going off midday to control temps then the plants are receiving a little bit of light for 6 hours and HPS HYBIRD for the remaining 18 hours . Happy to have the IR AND UV with the led lights . Would really like to invest into a Sun light full spectrum led setup .
And hopefully a bit bigger room would be really nice.
1-07-2021
These girls are powering 🔋 on full steam they look really happy . No watered needed until the 3rd I want my pots drying out for better root growth and to get a vigorous stance before topping etc then around week 6 I'll ScrOG all 10 plants and the will stay in that position until the end of flower if any stretch and the netting will hold the grow between 25 and 30 inches the lights will remain between 24 and 36 inch from canopy ...
1-07-2021 I have to also admit to a mistake when setting this grow up again and stupidly had my outtake set for intake so I think this could be the reason my heat was pretty high this is what happens when your in a rush it's a good thing they weren't already in flower before the mistake was corrected
02-07-21 cleaned the room up slightly and the fan working had the room lights on at 24.5oC that's 5oC cooler than the mess up with the fans ( intakeing instead of outtaking ) now that's working I might look at the lighting arrangements again as this may allow me to go upto 400w starting day 15 or 21 I'm not sure yet as there vegging faster with the 250w than on pervious runs where I had to keep my 600w lights on . These girls are starting on there 3rd node leaves and starting on the growing of side branches and sex is starting to appear slightly... I do think these girls might go into flower for week 3 as they tend to do . But awesome genetics from these seeds ... I've only one runtz out of 10 seeds and its the forbidden 🚫 Runtz .
Runtz are going strong g 4/5 are over 5 inch 1/5 , 3 inch in height my only baby plant so far
No nutes until week 3 plus topping week 3 then week 6 ScrOG
Plants are doing amazing 15 days and 7 inch in height growing avg of 1/2 inch per day
Day 16 - looking really good , very big plants
Grey pots are wedding glue 13liter
Black pots are forbidden 🚫 Runtz 16liter
( Topped ) DAY 21, from seed above the 4 or 5th nodes 10-07-21
Okay 21 days ago we had 10 seeds in water not germinated yet , now I've got 9 girls topped 4th or 5th nodes and Avg height about 8 - 10 inches as I did add more soil to this grow to help hold the seedling up as they got big leaves pretty quickly ..
Wedding glue had all 5 plants topped and all looking pretty healthy with some good looking pheno types shining through there node spacing and heights. Vigour is looking good I hope I can get the leaves standing up some more although I did only water yesterday without nutes and the leaves are heavy with water . Overall looking really healthy
Forbidden runtz has been good 4/5 of the seeds one is small and might meet its end soon as it will be disruptive at the end if its not beside the rest in growth ect ... its the seed that did not start in the jiffy pot but just soil ... jiffy pots work people
Also the hybird lighting is showing sign that when the hps are off the plants are showing signs off resting even with the led on constantly. This is new to me as ive noticed some diffrence in how big these girls have gotten with the added light spectrums and added lighting hours ... I'm not saying the plant is fully resting but it's definitely changing its behaviour when the hps are off and resting their leaves
Also I do think the IR AND UV have helped grow these girls so big also ... as I do see some grower with plants this height after 4/5 weeks of veg .
Conditions seems to be good 👍
No nutes
18 hours hps and led - 6 hours led only (midday)
180m3 / HR airflow
Whisper fan on natural setting (very outdoor like even speeds up and down . Rotational axes allow it to go up and down during oscillating on natural setting)
Okay all is good and remember the dairy updates all week long
Day 22 11-07-21
Plants where topped yesterday and are doing amazing 👏😍
That vigour is coming allowing to dry out a tad extra allowing the plants to breath ... aeration in pots is vital this is why I won't use bigger than 13liter or 16 liters nearly full. Autos typically won't use anymore soil than this in its life cycle . Watering I want to home in more to a watering per day or two max ad I can control the level of nutes being giving alot better and if I've a problem it won't take days to fix , this will be more needed in flower as I try to get used to these new strains...
Plants side branches are starting to grow and seeing pistle starting to form so next week will be the start of flower and the start of stretch as the plants do normally at least double in size I'd be expecting plants around 30inch plus which I consider my average size in plants ... canopy will be about 25 inch height allow me good control on light penatration and light distribution... also a ScrOG method I class as super LST as the plants dont generally need tied just spaced in the netting and it holds the plant open to its maximum without all the added stress . This is key to allow the plants to achieve there full structure... alot of grower try using fancy techniques without full exploration of how that method can affect yeilds if done wrong .
Vigour is on point after there topping which I did find quite impressive I haven't stunned them at all this is why vigour and watering come hand in hand good watering promotes better root growth and health . I used to dump the water in now I quite carful as moving the root zone with to much water can cause a whole range of problems including pests and lockouts
Day 23 watered today with 30% nutes
GHE Flora seriers
Going into flower 🌼 frist pistle have appeared all looking like females but will keep an eye on there growth incase a hermi
Plants response to topping was amazing 👏already after 24 hours after being topped and LST applied it was great to see the girls standing up again and starting to grow there two colas ...
I have 9 topped plants meaning 18 main colas although that what it seems like where actually going for around 100 main colas in the ScrOG set up as I'll try keeping all branches at an even height even the bottoms
The canopy will be a max height of 25 inch
Plants double size during stretch as there upto 15 inches we should be able to bring the bottom branches up to be level with the top colas . The plants respond by treating all the branches as tops the will normally be bigger than your normal buds but not the size of a normal main cola . Fill your hand ✋ not your arm .
So this is how we will try approaching these @fast_buds as we did with the last grow and produce top class award winning 👏 plants
typically leaf bending will make your plant stronger always take extremely good care and wash your hands before touching your plants .. hygiene and control of environment are super vital so is pest management. Good watering and good lighting fixtures all play a part in a plants yeild . I do think these girls will win an award or two.
Day 28 from seed . Weeks 4 - 5
Quick info
Height 20 inch
Temps 24 - 31
Humidity 40 - 60%
Lights hybird ( hps and leds ) works way better than hps only with full spectrum 12 band leds
LST is working well before there ScrOG within the next 10 days well have netting in place
The girls main branches are all nearly level some work to be done but the netting will hold the girls up any in place . Things are looking 👌 got a big crop from these girls are there vigour is on fire 🔥 and some main branches are onto there 4th nodes along with it looking like the starting of the stretch period normally lasting 2 weeks on average
Day 29 - girls could do with watering today no nutes , temps are very high outside so I sticking to full led until temps are back down as its to warm for HPS
This reason makes me realise I need the air-cooled lights for my next summer run also ballast ect all outside the grow room

Hey this is day 34 from seed until day 41 from seed .
Please like and comment
Girl have done well even with the extremely high temps going as far as 38oC this was no fault of my own this is the climate of the UK July 2021 hottest temps on record of 32.5oC so I think the temps where modest at most.
X250 watt hps 12 hours
Led 12 band full spectrum IR AND UV 24 hours
The lighting is working well for plant growth with the led making my move toward fully LED grows .
Nutes G.H.E FOLRA TRI PART
Grow 100%
MICRO 100%
BLOOM 40% WILL INCREASE WITH EVERY FEED AS THEY FORM MORE PISTLES ... IVE NOTICED PRE-FLOWER STARTING TO MOVE ALOT FASTER . I DO EXPECT THESE GIRLS TO STRECTH AND GROW SOME MORE NODES AND BUD SITES ,
Plants look like they suffered light heat stress as a result of high temps although they did reach 38oC this wasn't for long and temps decreased to 26oC at night , next week temps will drop enough to drop the 400watt hps on during weeks 6,7,8 then decrease to 250w to protect resin and quality of flower as these girls are autos and flipped to flower within the last week and started forming pistles we've about 6 to 8 weeks of flower left with the hps I've found this to be about 9 to 10 weeks from seed .
Glues been great , same sort of pheno type throughout where the runtz had some issue with one plant and the other is short as shit leaving the room with 8 big lady's ready to reck up in flower 🌼
Day 38 - girls are happy I'm really glad these fastbuds vegging a week longer than my other runs as more flower sites is more weight .
Girls on 100% nutes one feed 40% next , repeat!
Lights where turned upto 400w each today and the LED just to see how things go while temps are down allowing for the HPS to go up again .
I do think the really hot weather has cost me on a very more robust and vigorous growth. I'm still happy with them currently. I'm gonna say these girls are only coming into strecth for some mabey think these girls have still to start . Pistle formation has started now so I'm gonna say we hit pre-flower and I didn't judge last week all that good .
The wedding glue I noticed some purple coming through on two plants so I'm guessing it's gonna look like what's in the fastbuds picture , frosty and purple 💜 there all pretty even in size and pheno apart from on plant which has a seriously compact look and very different pistle formation.
Runtz is a big plant people seriously I've got 3 big runtz as medium and a runtz but the big ones are all big and bushy they seem to make alot of smaller side branches gonna be crazy amounts of foliage off these big lady's
As you already know if you read my dairys I try my hardest never to remove a leaf if its healthy it stays , if its not a problem , don't make it one.
LST worked brilliant 👏 TOPPING was also successful this run and caused no visible issues with the girls
Day 42
Watered one cup too much
Day 43
Nothing to note although plants are looking better after overwatering
Day 44
Plants watered one less cup today
Day 45 plants are responding well to a cup less water
100 % RECOMMENDED AMOUNT GHE FLORA
Trying to up PPM towards the start of flower 🌼
Pre flower 🌼 is nearly done with and strecth is still active on all plants so the little guys are nearing the netting the bilg girls ill keep pulling over some main branches are stacking 8 plus nodes and are open up like a yin of beans .
Day 46 , no water needed girls looking really happy this morning , thinking I might need another fan to dry my pots out quicker
Later that day (PM)
Watered only the bigger girls the smaller ones didn't finish there pots in time although I can't water any less as I don't know where the root mass is located it could be spread out throughout the pot . It's always better to water in small stages to allow the water to drain to the bottom of the bags 🎒 . Fabric pot's don't retain water in the sides although this does allow for pot's to dry out pretty quick ..
The girls are displaying great pistle formation in majority of the remaining flower sites ..
Expected harvest time appox 4 weeks or less with the 24/7 lighting increasing the amount of time plants receiving photons of light ... autos are built for this new type.of flower ... call it stress built defense will impress thc amount and resin production as the plants do respond to light stress I would do this by underwatering plants for a few hours max , close watching is a must as there is a small window to correct plants to full health. If done correctly the plant should try and protect its flower by producing tri-comes which can increase THC content .. I must warn unexperienced growers not to attempt this as its seriously a small window as plants dry there pots out wait for the leaves to drop ad they start to drop wait until the plant shows slight signs it needs Watered and water normal amount 😉
Extra notes - girls started using cal mag
- also watering everyday now
Hey guys and girls
Starting week 7 to 8 from seed in packet
Wedding glue has a purple pheno in there which I'm happy to see as this should give that top shelf appearance 💜
Runtz I must say is the super vegger my god one plant must have about 20 tops flowers instead of one main colas . All these branches are loaded with pretty good sized flower sites which themselves mostly have a few fan leaves and nodes within the buds, this is gonna result is massive top buds like the last run ...
So topping and netting with little HST and most gentle LST to provide an open canopy and lots of top flowers 💐 , the aim is to keep all branches the same height 😀 buds all 25inch from floor staking from the bottom up , each branch itself will become a mini type cola as these plants where opened up pretty well .
The fast buds I'll determine how its going when harvested , its competition is the gorilla girl xl D.O.M winner 🏆 this pheno was pretty aggressive from early on, which i haven't seen in the fastbuds but the catch is the fastbuds where grown under LED and 400watts average drop in lights HPS and even 2 weeks with mainly LED so if I take this into account the fastbuds it's gonna eat and shit my gorilla girl .
Day 54 - WEDDING GLUE & FORBIDDEN RUNTZ
24 HOUR LIGHTING 800WATT HPS
NUTES
100% GHE FLORA TRI
100% BUDDY PK VITALINK
100% CAL MAG VITALINK
29oC room is warm due to summer temps
WED/GLUE HAS A GREAT PURPLE PHENO 💜 GREAT TO SEE AND STACKING CHRISTMAS 🎄 SHAPED BUDS THOE FAT AND SLIGHTY ROUNDED GROWING AS A GROUP ARE QUITE CONSISTENT ON PHENO TYPE APART FROM THE ONE FLOWERING PURPLE 💐
FORBIDDEN RUNTZ 🚫
SUPER STACKING FOWER IS AN UNDERSTOOD STATEMENT HERE 👏
BIG AMOUNT OF TOPS PER PLANT AND TERMINAL COLAS
ONE PLANT HAS OVER 20 TOPS BACK RIGHT HAND CORNER
INCREDIBLE START TO THE FRIST DAYS OF STACKING FLOWER THIS P.K BUDDY SEEMS TO INCREASE YEILDS TO NEW LEVELS SOME FLOWER HAVE DEVOLPED MORE NODES THAN ID LIKE TO COUNT. I CANT FAULT THE RUNTZ IN THE BIG POT AND WILL RUN THESE AGAIN AS A MIGHTY YEILDER .. HAS THE FATTEST COLA MORE NODES MORE LEAVES MORE HEIGHT 3/5 WILL YEILD MORE THAN 5/5 GLUE THIS IS MY FAVOURITE STRAIN FOR YEILDS NEARLY GETTING PAST THE GORILLA GIRL FOR VIGOUR BUT THATS GONNA TAKE SOME MORE DOING AND WITHOUT 660WATTS THIS PLANT AT 250WATTS IS DOING 10XFOLD BETTER THAN THE GORILLA GIRLS IN TERMS OF OVERALL WATTAGE , ILL WANT TO RUN FULL HPS AND LED TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER RUN AS I DO THINK THE RESULTS AT A LOWER WATTAGE OVERALL WHERE ALOT BETTER WITH THE HYBIRD LIGHTING SYSTEM COMPARED TO HPS BY ITSELF , THE OVERALL YEILDS I EXPECT TO INCREASE WITH 2 LESS PLANTS AND ONE PRETTY SMALL ONE .
Switched lighting to 800watt hps only as the LED was creating nute problems which I'd like to have under control before returning the led , it might be enough light with x2 400watts
@FAST_BUDS420 THESE PICTURES DO JUSTICE TO THE CALI BACKGROUND IN BREEDING THESE NEW INCREDIBLE AUTOS
DAY 63 WEEK 9
GIRLS ARE DOING AMAZING 👏
PURPLE PHENO GLUE IS OUTSTANDING
THE FORBIDDEN RUNTZ ARE FLOWERING MIGHTY BUDS AND STACKED TERMAINAL COLAS LIKES THERES NO TOMORROW
RUNTZ WILL BE RUN AGAIN AS ITS BIG YEILDING BY FAR MY BIGGEST PLANT
Day 64 - purple pheno is coming too an end this is its last week of flowering for this wedding glue and mavey one more the rest will be ready about week 10 - 11 but there moving very fast in these later stages
Lights down to 250w , X 2 hps
This is to reduce heat and light to reduce any damage done to terpens or the resin itself the flower are bulking out very nice and STACKING FOWER. Buds looking fantastic 😍 nice structure on the glue very dense and resions ,
Purple pheno is denser than the rest but this plant
Looking good. I'm not a fan of the 24hr lighting. I believe plants need their rest to perform the best. Looks like the 24hr lighting is working for you. Good job!
Week 10 - DAY 70
Forbidden runtz & Wedding glue
Forbidden runtz-
SMELLS - Fruity, Flora but there's what smells like stardawg stink in the background
BUDS - big fat and dense , with different shades of green and bright orange pistles reminds me of a pineapples if anyone see what I see in the photos
PLANT - vigorous, big yeilders , massive plants with big massive fat buds up and down each branch with a few side branches with more fat little pineapples
RESIN - good production as buds are very sticky , sugar leaves are slighty coated
WEDDING GLUE-
SMELLS - Fruity, gassy , citrus
BUDS - 1 X PURPLE PHENO 💜 with neon orange pistles , super dense buds
X4 GREEN SHADES with orange pistles these buds are fat some are smaller but brick hard , these wedding glue are definitely indica dominant phenos which is probably why the thc is so high 26%
PLANTS - are smaller plants but very dense structure
RESIN - AMAZING AMOUNTS OF RESIN like this super high thc from the gorilla glue is shinning.through because there's resin everywhere even on fan leaves its mental amounts , can't wait to use the trim
Okay so this is my last update week the next all plants will have been harvested.
Day 77 things going well
Day 78 all plants flush are going really well
Day day 81 plant are finishing up quite nicely
So all girls are flushing currently while STACKING up and putting some density on the buds other than that these girls are finished , this grow with some slight temp issues and having to use the led and lights on 250watt instead of 600w has also impacted on yeild , the terpen profiles of these plants are also not upto expectations with fastbuds having such a good reputation for autoflowering cali genetics , a cure with been cut might change my mind on the harvest report ... THE PURPLE PHENO GLUE was amazing 👏
Pre harvest comment-
Had a really pleasant grow with these girls had problems which affected growth rate during this extremely hot summer period , alothough that did affect yeild the buds that did get produce are smelling fantastic , look fantastic and where about to harvest 3 more runtz and 3 more wedding glue . Hopefully we achieve a decent yeild with these remaining girls . The buds are dense and ultra dense on the wedding glue even the nuggets have maintained great densities.
Harvested and cured - the candy taste and Flora flavours there's that many Fruity terpens it's really hard to pinpoint any flavour precisely as every draw of a Joint seems to be different from a slight change to a dramatic change all from the same small nugget is amazing .
Wow what a amazing tasting strain I had a total of 5 plants one of which had a purple pheno . From start to finsih these girls carried on no matter what issue I had even temps over 37oC , yes temp did exceed 37 oc Celsius. So the yeild I've gott isn't what I had hope for but there ultra dense buds I think are packing more weight than anything else I've grown because these are super ultra dense buds . Smoke is outstanding and plenty of terps but no vinalla taste yet
