Welcome to the much needed Fast Buds Replenishment grow featuring four (x4) Lemon Pie Auto’s. I have been growing freebies (5 back to back grows) and unfortunately these grows have not produced enough quality bud to keep up with my personal smoking needs. So it’s time to go back to what has worked best for me (biggest harvests and best quality bud) and that’s Fast Buds for sure! I’ve never grown this particular strain before but I’m hoping that it will produce what I need- rock hard, fat nuggets that taste great and get me really high. Germination was simple as always- Jiffy Peat Pellets and an inexpensive germination tray with a Magic Bag heated twice daily and placed inside the tray to maintain temperature and increase humidity. Works every time and these seeds were up within 48 hours of being placed into the saturated peat pellets- super fresh seeds. I will be watering every 4th day using tap water that has been air bubbled to dechlorinate it.
That’s about it for now and here’s hoping that you’ll stop by again to check out the Fast Buds Lemon Pie Auto’s.
Welcome to the end of Week 2, Day 14 update for the Fast Buds Lemon Pie Auto Flowering replenishment grow. Apologies for missing Week 1 as I am still dealing with some lingering symptoms of Covid 19- finally caught it towards the end of my last grow and still feeling it this many weeks later. So, not much to report as all is going well so far. During Week 1, I was watering every 4th day at 0.7 of a litre and in Week 2, still watering every 4th day but increasing to 1.4 litres or 0.35 of a litre per plant per day. Keeping the Secret Jardin Monkey fan (hooked around the left, back corner pole) tight just over the top of these seedlings so as to keep them constantly moving thus strengthening up those stems! As always with Fast Buds, these plants seem extremely healthy, vigorous and thriving- exactly what I need to replenish my personal pot stockpile. I absolutely hate spending my hard earned $ on something that I can grow for next to nothing! So hopefully I have a bumper crop and all will be well once again. Until next time, thx for checking in, stay safe and healthy and cheers! 🥂
Welcome to the Week 5 update for the Fast Buds Lemon Pie Autos. I am still recovering from Covid so I’ve missed Weeks 3 & 4 but here’s a quick fill in on the missing time. I am always watering every 4th day like clockwork. In Week 3, I increased the water intake from 1.4 litres to 2.1 litres per watering which equals .52 of a litre per plant per day. I also began feeding with FloraNova Grow at a rate of 1.25 mls per gallon. In Week 4, I increased the water intake again from 2.1 litres to 2.8 litres per watering which equals .70 of a litre per plant per day. I also increased the grow fertilizer to 2.5 mls per gallon. The plants were fed three times with the grow formula before being switched over to the FloraNova Bloom in Week 5. They are currently receiving 3 litres of water every 4th day fertilized with 2.5 mls per gallon and they are thriving! This is a very strong smelling strain with an overwhelming odour of skunky dankness emanating from the tent- even when closed. The bud sites are popping up everywhere and resin production has begun. They have stretched quite nicely but are definitely wider than taller and hopefully these turn out as great as they smell. That’s it for now, until next time- cheers! ☮️
Welcome to Week 6 of the Fast Buds Lemon Pie Auto grow! These plants seem constantly hungry so I’ve increased the fertilizer again to 3.75 mls per gallon with every feeding. So I water every fourth day- 3 litres per plant which equals 0.75 of a litre per plant per day. But when I water, I air bubble my jugs using a fish pump to dechlorinate my water while adding some bonus oxygen. I use three 1 gallon milk jugs to hold my water and when I feed- I only add fertilizer to two of the three jugs. I use the plain, PH’d water first and then continue with the fertilized water adding up to a 25/75 ratio of plain water to fertilized water with every feeding. So far so good as these hungry ladies seem to be thriving and tolerating the increase nicely. Defoliating as needed. Thanks for stoppin by… 🤓
Welcome to the end of Week 7, Day 49 of the Fast Buds replenishment grow. The Lemon Pie Auto strain is turning out to be a beauty as usual with the Fast Buds genetics. The tallest two plants have topped out at 28 inches or 71 cm tall. I believe this strain grows anywhere from 70-120 cms tall so I am on the low end of what these plants can do. But the bud sites are decent and the buds themselves are putting on steady weight weekly. I have increased the fertilizer again in Week 7 to five (5) mls per gallon and they are tolerating it incredibly well. I rarely use this much fertilizer when growing autoflowers but Fast Buds strains are notoriously greedy and I love it! I can smell the plants starting to ripen and I can’t wait for this harvest- almost there…until next time. 🔜
So welcome to the final update prior to harvest and it’s covering Weeks 8 & 9 of the Lemon Pie Autoflowering grow. I fertilized one final time early in Week 8 at 5 mls per gallon and have been flushing with PH’d, air bubbled water ever since. They have begun to yellow out a bit and I have been defoliating as needed. All four of these lovely ladies will be chopped over Week 10 which is within the window of 65-75 days as recommended by Fast Buds. Check in next time for the final pictures, harvest info and smoke report. Coming soon…
