The Lemon AK is THE CARIBBEAN QUEEN I was searching for , for so long ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒก๏ธ My goal by growing Autoflowering strain under a 12/12 light schedule during flowering time was to find the perfect Autoflowering strain to grow under my climate and the most "money saving" to veg as I can go up to 150w in the best case. My quest is over now that I've found my new Classic Autoflowering strain ๐Ÿ˜ well not really over as it is a never ending quest but I fell like I'm a step up now. The Lemon AK is a very vigorous strain , she's not growing really tall , I'll say it's more an average height but her secret weapon is her secondaries , each top buds are big but every secondaries are fat nugs too and even after a manicure they are remaining at a descent size. Every buds are gorgeous ! And I can also say that she is very resilient, she recovered from a missed FIM and did handle a few under watering like a champion ( and yes I missed a FIM .... FIM means F**k I miss it .... which mean I missed it twice ) The smell during flowering, drying and curing is one of the deeper tropical smell I never obtain from a plant , Fast Bud says that it is a Lemon Ak but the term Lemon is too reducing for that strain ... of course their is a big part of the bouquet that will makes you think about lemon BUT it is 10 times more complex than just lemon ! You'll feel the lemon under your tong but the pineapple taste is mixed in a good proportion and the mix is a taste explosion in your mouth ๐Ÿ˜‹ like the Blue dream I can also feel the spices in the after space, it can also be defined as a Incense after taste. And it is sugary, like a candy ! A sugary , lemony , pineapple incense taste ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ‘ The yield ... is fantastic under a 12/12 light flowering schedule so imagine what it could have been under a 18/6 one. For a short plant like this I would never imagined to get more than 50 grams. It is impossible for me to find a negative thing to say about this strain , I have grown 2 kind of Ak before , both were good but not one of a king like this one ... I just regret that an autoflowering strain can't be cloned. EDIT : After a bit a curing a nice skunky undertone can be smell from the jar and taste from the weed ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™Š Now the smoke test โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š That weed is smooth and tasty , never makes me caught , the smoke itself is creamy and dense. The taste is amazing , you can feel the lemony/pineapple taste every time you inhale and when you exhale you have the skunky/spicy undertones that are mixing with the inhaled tastes for a flavour explosion in your mouth.... the brain explosion job is also done. Concerning the effects , it's a relaxing but strong one , and a really strong one as it knocked down 2 of my usual smokers friends so this automatic version is potent like a photoperiodic. The effect is coming step by step , you'll be more and more relaxed and happy, some are smiling and some are giggling but every body wanna sleep after the 1st hour. Like the Blue dream it is not a day smoke or something to relax and do nothing , clearly the kind of smoke I prefer

You are an outdoor grower ? You'r waiting until the middle of may to bring your plants to your secret spot and wait until September to get a good crop?? Then this strain is for you ! You will have the possibility to harvest up to 3 times before your feminised will be ready and you'll be stocked by the final product ! Only you will be able to know that it is an auto strain, none of your friends will notice

OK... this is more like it! I've been searching thru autoflower diaries and haven't seen that many growing outdoors (yet I suppose)... and it just so happens I'll be trying a couple of 420 FastBuds strains (this is one) later this summer. I was planning to make a comparison diary with one growing outdoors and two indoors, mainly because I've never tried autoflowers before so it should be a fun summer. Keep up the good work. โœŠ

@dalemac, On the Amnesia#7 diary or by DM as you want bro ๐Ÿ‘. Like you I also prefer outdoor and my RH is quite irregular during day time it can down to 40 during mid day and be at 70 in the afternoon and my autos are always doing great so your RH will be a parameter to manage and if you handle it well it will not be an issue ( and with low RH no bud rot ๐Ÿ˜ ). Cheers

@OutForReal, I'll let you know when I start my autoflowers over in your Amnesia 7 diary, since that will probably have a longer life and I'll be starting one of those also. I don't air condition my grow room so in summer I run my (LED) lights at night to keep the temperatures in check. The air is naturally dry in California summer so humidity isn't traditionally a problem. I'm curious to see how the autos do in my locale and with my lights - to compare indoor vs outdoor. I prefer outdoor because I get to commune with the girls for longer periods of time - more time for inspection and pruning.

@dalemac, Hey bro thank you for stopping by and like you said it is hard to find some outdoor auto growers as most of them prefer to maximize the yield with a higher light exposure which is not my main priority , and my light schedule is around 12h a day so they are growing like photoperiodic strains. In your case it will be different, if you choose the right time during the summer they will have plenty of hours of sun so they will yield heavily , I an not recommending you to grow indoor during the summer because of the high temps , they could be hard to manage and will require extra care to maintain it at the proper level ๐Ÿ˜“. If you never tried auto before then for sure you'll have fun ๐Ÿ˜ & they are so easy to feed and manage but I've learn that can also be easily stressed at their young age so this is when they will need you the most ! Tag me along your futur diaries like that I'll be able to follow your 1st steps with autos ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜„ If you can remember after all that time ๐Ÿ˜‚

Looking awesome! I canโ€™t wait to see how yours turns out. I almost picked this strain, but opted for Green Crack instead. Supposed to be a good energy booster! Good luck!

@Stinkfox, Hey bro sorry for the late answer , I feel like I was just uploading diaries during the last weeks , anyway ! Haha the Green Crack is in my to do list , I was about to grab some seeds but I finally opted for the 6 shooters as it is the only cross of an auto ร— auto from FB so I had to give it a try. I am happy with my choice ๐Ÿ˜„ she is growing nicely and the smell is dank ๐Ÿ‘Š

Hey, I hope this message finds you in good form . Thanks for replying to my grow question. I've read most of your diaries & am interested in autos in general, I am unsure if they are up to the challenge of giving yields like photoperiod strains "Although I read good things about fastbuds & Mephisto genetics, I have yet to personally see an auto yield well. your harvest numbers give me hope though !what level of grower would you say your at ? Please and thanks & any tips other than the ones you kindly already gave would be greatfully received. Thanks. S

@Esoteric, One more thing, I never tried a y mephisto strain but I would like to , for the moment I am focusing on Fast buds because they are working great for me and working great under my climate ! They are resistant to heat so it's all I needed

@Esoteric, Hey bro thank you for your input it's cool ! So 1st no need to thank me for the question, I have to admit that I am answering to get points to win the grower of the month giveaway BUT I am always happy when my answers are correct and can help another grower๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™Œ ! At which level of grower am I ? I am a low yield master haha , I mean I know things about growing , I've experimented different ways to grow and different method and the most important : I only learned from my mistakes as I'm not really following the theories ( theoretically I should not grow my autos with a 12/12 flowering schedule ) and I also proud to day that I am a lazy grower so most of my methods are based on : doing nothing special and nothing time consuming. About the auto and their yield I recommend you to not base your thoughts on my grow because I'm always under what could have been done , for example I am convinced that this AK would have produced more than 100g with a 18/6 schedule. I am always up to give tips so hit that chat button everytime you need an helpe or to talk about theories ( Off course I will tell everything I know BUT remember I don't know everything ). Oh and by the way my goal is to find the perfect auto for a 12/12 schedule that could produce 100g in a 10L pot ( 10grams per litres of soil ๐Ÿ˜ others are calculating the gram per watts but I have my own value : GPL ๐Ÿ˜…). See you around bro , hit me everytime you think it is necessary ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’ชโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š

@Iop420, Thank you very much bro , I'm in live with this strain , she likes to have a lot of nutrients and she drinks a lot so prepare yourself for a daily watering at the end of the summer ๐Ÿ˜‰ . Btw , congratulation on your winning at the diary of the month of January ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘

@Experimentgreen,Yeah buddy that was a long time since are last talk but we'll cat h up ( we already have ๐Ÿ˜š ). About the grow so can say that everything is doing good , she don't really need extra care or any care except for watering and feeding , she is doing good under the heat and with low mid day RH so she is perfect if you have heat issues. She's also starting to push a deep smell reminding me of a Lemon skunk phenotype I found in a batch of 10 skunk#1 regular from Sensi seeds years ago ๐Ÿ˜ , I like when a new grow reminds me of my 1st experiences

Give her a little silica to strengthen the stem early on so you don't run into the problem they talk about in the strain description about weakness in the first few weeks. She may need a little actual support as well at first if she stretches too much. Good luck
