This strain really meets you in the middle. It’s a potent smoke but doesn’t drag you either way. Of any 50/50 hybrid I’ve tried this is the closest to dead in the middle. It’s a delicious sugar lemon dough smell, the smell is one of my favorite things, the dough follows the lemon and it’s really something to be proud of.
Activities:
Watching tv or reading
Walks or hikes
Low key sports like frisbee, golf, etc…
It isn’t a creative strain at least not for me but it does give you a comfortable focus on tasks. If you suffered from adhd it could be a good one to try. It’s just great if you ever wished your weed didn’t knock you out or make you anxious but just kinda let you get back to what you wanna do with a big mood boost.
We’ve all had bad days, spend a little time smoking on this and you’ll be thinking your way to a better place in a healthy way. Rather than take you out of the day it’s great at easing you back into it in a new light.
Actually love TPS, one of the hidden gems of nutes out there. Nothing but good results.
I gave 4 stars on the signal cause that can burn a plant quick at their dosing, breaks my heart to think growers wait til flower to add it and can burn a plant fast. Use with caution, but used right it’s fantastic.
If you’ve followed along you’ll know how well this plant grew. It handled a lot of stress from supercropping, LST, and defoliation. The plant wanted to produce and wasn’t letting me get in the way of that.
7 days dry in my new dry and curing room. First 4 days 70*f and 55% humidity increased to 60 by the final day.
I ended up with just over 6 ounces dry weight, well trimmed, and properly weighed. My seedsman Gelat.OG grown at the same time was an 8oz plant and the only one that beat the lemon pie on dry weight.
The smell and colors of the lemon pie had me going crazy from early flower til the end. It was an absolute pleasure to grow.
This is the second Lemon pie I’ve finished, a friend was running out of room so I finished his plant. He also got close to 6ozs but the smoke was much different and the colors were as well. You will run into very different phenos with fastbuds strains and it makes it difficult to repeat grows, just don’t be upset if my smoke report above isn’t consistent on every plant if you decide to grow it. Both were very enjoyable though…
FastBuds has a place in my heart forever and I’d recommend them to anyone looking to grow cannabis at any skill level. They’re just good people over there.
Personally I will be taking a new journey with Mephisto next to try and expand my knowledge of other growers, after hearing so many great things it’s time I give them a try. Hope you follow me along on that grow as well.
I’m going to be trying the mega crop, sea-k, and sweet candy dry nutes on my next grow.
For anyone with experience growing in coco. Do you amend the coco and water through the week with ph’d water, or do you add MC daily like liquid nutes? Watering sched? Ex: nute, nute, water…
It looks like that feed is based on being water soluble. So you'd want to use it as such vs mixing it in the soil.
You could use it like hydroponics or once every now and then, but the amount you use will change based on your feeding schedule. eg everyday/once a week
Your will need some tools if you don't have them, PH pen and EC/TDS or PPM pen as well. This style of feeding requires you to monitor the runoff and PH of the water. It's also easier to burn your plants and enter nutrient lockout with to much feed, be careful. on the plus side you can get great growth and buds off of liquid feed. It's not like a "whole food" that the soil microbes need to breakdown first and is harder to over feed. Its a gourmet concentrate like miracle grow with extra macro nutes.
If I had to use it, I'd do feeding with every watering or set up a drip system that will constantly feed. I'd also use a lot more perlite in my coir mix to increase drainage 10x. or use LECA.
PH also needs to be tweaked if using coir as hydro with liquid nutes.
get a pre-buffered coir. fixes the affinity for calcium.
P.S. They have a tool on the manufacturers webpage for feeding.

best of luck.
@amsterdamski33, yeah idk what the g/watt was. It’s not accurate. I’m just growing weed. It was a TS 3000 over 3 plants. I’m not very big on MH anymore anyway.
Nice pots growmie!! Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌 Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help. Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Plants look healthy....the color is perfect which complements the feeding sched u shared with me..
I didnt do much training this run like l have in the past......this is my 3rd grow with FB genetics and have had success topping and main lining thier autos....
They seem to grow vigorously no matter what u put them through..
Good Luck homie......
@BioBuds, thank you I got the crate idea from canamatoes (Instagram) definitely a game changer for my style of growing. Great content on your grows I like the AR overlays, fun to look through.
Your plants look great....lm also a fan of FB genetics....l just started 5 P. Lemonade and
3 P. Punch. I'm using coco and
Canna nutrients for the first time.
Would you mind helping a fellow growmie out and share the feeding schedule you use........
Plz and Ty....Your plants look healthy and right on schedule......
I'll definitely follow your grow for guidance and comparison......
@The_GodPOTTer, I think you will be really happy with coco, bigger roots, easier to fix if there is a mistake… from sprout I water in a small ring with either a squirt bottle or something similar around the sprout maybe 1/2” wide circle that starts small around the base of the stem maybe 3” diameter - not a lot of water maybe 6-8ozs. Then from there I widen that circle and water more little by little for about 7-10 days and at that point I’m fully watering to runoff the entire plant daily about 20-30% runoff. You can water deep in the circle area then lightly water the top to keep the coco from blowing around if it helps or add a top layer like clay pellets. The idea is to make the roots stretch across for water but not let it completely dry out. You can water every day when you’re watering to runoff or even more than once a day. You’re putting fresh air, water and food down in each time for them like a hydro grow would. Real growers recharge is a great coco additive if you ever hit problems, I add it to every grow now. Best of luck my man!
@XG_Jack, since you've had experience with coco and lve only used soil.
When you research how to water......lve found conflicting info on starting seedings and the amount used. I understand theres more than 1 correct way. I went to coco because of the quicker veg growth and its was more forgiving to overwatering which has been my biggest prob and counter productive for autos. If u have time pls share your experiences on that side of it. Ty so much for your help.
@XG_Jack, Ty so much for your response and attention to detail. I added some worm castings and a very small amount soil in my medium. So l didnt apply anything else until the 10th day. So they've been fed 1x and look great and it's time for the 2nd. Your figures were really close to mine so that's PERFECT.
@Kusher, EC would be approx .7 but keep in mind it is only for 4 days before a 3 day flush, and the ppm is because of some cal mag and the tps signal to help the fade and finish. It’s not to sustainably grow I’m at least 700ppm+ in previous weeks. And run from 1.4-2.0 EC usually.
@Kusher, it’s dechlorinated tap water 110ppm. I wouldn’t look into this week for advice on feeding this is just a tapered flush. The week posted got a full feeding except the last day I dropped it and will be at just tap water by tomorrow. If any direct questions about feeding and your plant I’m happy to help, I can answer them better that way.
