So when I was looking for a new auto journey 420FastBuds really seemed the only option. Thankfully they wanted to partner to show their wonderful strains!
So day at day zero :) we have 4 planted Banana Purple Punch Auto. Straight to medium.
Aswell as updating the grow diary here weekly with photos I take during the week I plan to also so a video diary on my YouTube so feel free to join me there too!

Thanks to everyone who joins me in this wonderful journey :)
Great progress from the little beans :) all 5 germinated. Unfortunately one of the ladies had her 2 starter leaves fused so I planted the 5th seed on Wednesday.
Decided to get rid of plant 5 with the fused leaves as progress was slower than the rest.
So future will be plants 1-4. I Will be repotting into their final pots tomorrow as the roots have started to reach the bottom of their germination pots.
Thanks everyone for checking out my ladies and to 420fastbuds for sending me these beautiful babies :)
This is start of week 1.
Girls are doing fantastic. They are loving their new homes and didn't see any slow in growth from re-potting. I liberally added some Great White Myco direct to the hole before repotting. Giving them 1200 ml for first water after re-potting and will water again when pot is light. Using pot lift method tried and tested.
PH is 6.5 will lower to 6.0 for the next feed.
Planning to top the girls above the third set of true leaves just once each plant. May happen before next week's diary entry so thought I'd mention it. :)
I'd you like my stuff and wanna see a bit more detail on how I do things please check out my YouTube channel:

I've some photos I've just started too so come check out my ladies and setup everyone is welcome :)
I'm really impressed with the genetics from Fast Buds already! The girls are doing fantastic they responded well to being topped and are showing zero signs of stress. When I say happy and healthy I really mean it hehe. I'll be doing some low stress training later this week. Just tieing down the sides a little and I'll remove 2 fan leaves of each plant at the top which are blocking growth.
Still sticking to Canna A and B and 0.5ml/L CalMag Pro to maintain those happy levels lol. Lights are on 75% using roughly 450 watt total.
If you like to see the girls in video please check out my YouTube! I also do other videos and guides on maintenance etc.

Moony Grows :)
This week has been a breeze. The girls responded so well to being topped and trained. I removed the bottom node from each plant to free up the skirts and took a couple of leaves that where blocking underneath. I've added some wires for LST and added a top dress of a final treatment of Great White Myco and then added the usual mix on top. Still not seeing any signs of flower yet. I think topping delays flower a little thankfully :) I'm expecting to see some pistols any day now though.
As usual check out my YouTube channel for these and my other photo period plants and a bit more in-depth guide on my steps.

This week has seen some extreme growth.
You can't tell by looking but I've defoliated twice this week! They just grow back and fill in every 2 days! The growth is vigorous and very promising for the flower stage hehe.
So far still not actually in flower but seeing signs it will be any time. I will be moving them to their own tent and installing a SCrog netting in early flower to get support and space them out better for ventilation.
So far extremely impressed with the FastBuds genetics :) glad I got the chance to see how these ladies will turn out!
If you'd like to see how the girls are doing and see my other runs and setup etc please check out my YouTube channel at the link below.

Thanks for checking out my stuff!
Hi everyone.
So a busy week for the ladies this week. I'm pretty sure today (27th) is day 7 of flower as an estimate.
I have done a final defoliated of the skirts and stripped any stems which wouldn't be decent buds.
I then put the 2 smaller plants at the back and lowered the netting to them. I then spread and trained them in the netting.
Next I added the 2 tallest plants at the front. Then lowered the netting to level with the smaller plants. I then trained and directed the 2 taller plants to fill the space and create a solid canopy.
The 2nd layer of netting is around a foot above the 1st. It will be used to support what will hopefully be some fat buds towards the end :).
So far the genetics from Fast buds are living up to their names and the Banana from the Banana Purple Punch is starting to come through!
They look like they had a hard night out at the moment lol. But give it a week with me going in daily to train and tuck and the canopy will be solid. So see you guys next week!

Thanks as always for checking out my girls!
This week went awesome! The SCrog netting has filled in wonderfully and the girls are already reaching for the 2nd layer of netting.
Buds are forming nicely and I'm getting the first frostiness forming :)
From now on I'll just be doing the odd bit of defoliation and maintenance. The girls are drinking an increased amount and seem to thrive no matter what gets thrown their way.
2 of the 4 are looking like they could be something extremely special. But I also think the other 2 may be leaning more towards sativa and needing a little longer.
Either way I'm happy at the moment and so are the ladies :)

Nice and easy week this week, well apart from the heat! The girls have filled the netting wonderfully and are starting to pack on some seriously frosty buds. I'm quite excited about how these girls will turn out, from what I'm seeing so far I'm thinking it will be quite a harvest day.
The girls are on 24 hour light schedule under the 800 watt FC8000. I have had to reduce to 65% for around 8 hours of the day at the moment due to extreme heat wave, 100% for the rest of the time. There ladies seem alot less bothered by the heat than me hehe.
I increased their feed to the highest amount I that I mix this past week and will maintain full feed for the next 3-4 weeks as I fully expect the ladies to need the extra as they will be growing some fat buds!
Thanks for checking out my diary! If you would like to check the girls out in video form then please come and have a look at my YouTube channel! :) "Moony Grows" (link below)

I hope to see you there :)
Hi everyone!
Sorry for the delayed update this week. The UK had an extreme heat wave on Monday and Tuesday this week, we hit 40+ celcius!!! Thankfully the girls were much less stressed than I was haha.
No issues at all were caused by the extreme heat and the girls are still packing on weight. The terps have really started to arrive also. Amazing fruity aromas from banana to blackcurrents mixed with a fuel/sour diesel smell. Can't wait to try them all!
If you'd like to see my setup and see the other girls I'm growing then please come check out my YouTube channel "Moony Grows" (link below)

Took some photos with the lights on this week so you guys and gals can see the size of the buds.
All of the girls are packed with really fat solid buds. The smells are insanely strong. Everything from banana and strawberries to blackBerries. One plant specifically smells so much like lime that it makes my mouth water as if I had cut up some fresh limes right in the tent!
One of the girls is the most purple plant I've ever seen during summer. I am completely unable to lower temps to make the girls purple but one plant is the deepest purple ever.
I really am excited to see the final smoke from this crop!
I'm thinking 3 and half weeks I'll be cropping depending on trichomes.

At the final week now :) the girls have performed wonderfully and have been getting water for about 10 days. I'll be chopping these ladies this weekend so this will be the last time you see them before dry :)
Really happy with the genetics from Fast buds. The smells are truly wonderful. All unique but all amazing.
Only one pheno was deep purple. But 2/3 of the others have a slight purple tinge. But all are fantastic!
@Green_fiend, thanks dude!! :) They always look a bit messy after the SCrog is installed hehe. But it's only been an hour and I'm already tucking them again and they are reaching for the light :) they are resilient plants and are responding well to all training methods. :)
@MrHightimes, hehe I'm trying! I pulled back a little for now. They are opened up but I was a little worried about splits. So I'm going to let them do their thing for a. Couple of weeks before I get them in the netting :) going for a scROG netting setup for the flowering period.
