Fast and furious buds! That is what week 3 has been like for a few (except the ones I hurt) of these Green Crack and I couldn't be happier. #1 seems to have stopped growing. The overwatering may have done her in. The pH may have gotten outta whack and killed the bacteria or the roots or both. Probably a combination of things. Anyway, I started a couple new seeds to put in a couple hempy buckets I'm going to give a try. I'll let #1 go until I need the space. #4 is recovering slowly. It also looks like I may have lowered the light a lil' too much because there is some canoeing and saw-toothing going on. I raised the light back up and I am going to let the plants grow to the light for now. #6 is showing signs of light stress too. #2, #3 and #5 are all looking awesome. #2 and #3 are 14 inches plus, doubling in size in the past 6 days. Thanks for tuning in and turning on everyone, questions and comments are always welcome and greatly appreciated. Peace and happy gardening.

@Fast_Buds, Appreciate it! Send more seeds please..... It probably has more to do with my germination technique than anything. I have had 100% germination with FB, no complaints. Peace.
@@cylentknight, appreciate it bro. Sending positive grow vibes for the zkittlez, be sure to tag me. I have just started to really enjoy the fruits of my 1st harvest after about 3 weeks of curing "getting better all the time, better, better, better...." Anyway, I just put a couple more beans, OG Kush Autos, in some rockwool plugs today. I am going to try and do a couple Hempy Buckets with MegaCrop and see how that works. I'll give you a tag when it's up and running. If I did everything right with the seeds it won't be long. But, if I screw up germination it may take a couple try's. "The sky was yellow and the sun was blue" Peace
Don't worry too much about when they start to flower. At least yet... I'm currently running 8 diaries of Fast Bud genetics. I still have a pineapple express that is only preflowering after 53 days. Both of my Stardawgs didn't flower until after 49 days. With that said, autoflowers have been a mixed bag for me. I once had a Northern Lights auto that only grew an inch in 30 days and never flowered. Sometimes they're tall and sometimes they're short. There's a lot of randomness in what you get. Almost reminds me of collecting baseball cards. Never knew what you were going to get. All your girls look healthy!l Happy gardening. Peace!
@Smowkabowl, No worries bud! I use the pre-flower term when a photoperiod plant is in late veg and starting to show clues of it's sex. The stretch sounds better. My apologies for the misunderstanding. Peace!
@Sgtoso, yeah, probably not a good word (pre-flower) to use. I'm not sure where I read or picked up that term. We'll just call it "The Stretch". Hopefully, they're just about done stretching and will settle in to bud production. All the 44 day plants are now flowering 😀. I put up new rigging yesterday and gained another 6 inches in height. I would have lowered the light sooner but every time I did I had to back it off due to stress or what I perceived as stress (canoeing and saw-tooth). They are doing better and I'll have to do a supercrop on the 69 incher. I have been reading up on the process. Peace bro
@Smowkabowl, You're plants might be stretching too much because they're too far from the top canopy. I've never heard of pre-flower stretch. My photoperiods stretch during the first couple of weeks of flower. I think you'll be ok with autos as they'll stop stretching once they get closer to the light. Peace
@Sgtoso, thanks bro, I'll be pulling #2 and #5 later today. They have a few amber trichs popping up and I don't want to lose the cerebral for the couch. What do you recommend? Peace
@Sgtoso, dude, I took some cuttings a few days ago so I could check the trichomes under the microscope. I put the tray in the closet and forgot about it until I took more cuttings and the previous cuttings were dry. I tried the Green Crack 1st! For early testing it had a good cerebral buzz and the taste is unlike anything I've ever tasted and can't really describe it. It will be interesting to see how it evolves with a proper cure. The smell is sweet, lemony and a little diesel maybe, very nice overall. Oh and after breaking up the bud my fingers had a fresh orange peel smell... like heaven. I'm already addicted! Peace bro
@Smowkabowl, i tried it a few months ago and it was beautiful!
Fruity flavour with a nice balanced high. The buds themselves were quite large and super dense. Gorgeous to look at and to smoke. I’ve always loved Snoop Dog!
He’s old school and picked the perfect name for this strain.
@Momgrowsthechronic, appreciate it Mom. I'm really looking forward to the GC myself, it sounds like my dream plant. I hope it taste as good as, Snoop Dog said, when he named it. Peace
Nice diary, good photos and really interesting supercropping an auto. Accidentally broke off the main stem on one of my autos but the rest of the stems just charged ahead!
@goodgrow, appreciate it man. #2 has been in the jar for a couple weeks now and I'll be doing the harvest and smoke results soon. Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned. Peace
I just saw the week 11 cover photo and that was enough to know that this is one sick grow dude. The pic is gorgeous, the fade on the plant is dreamy and I bet the rest of this diary is straight dope. I’ll catch up when I can. Just awesome dude👍👌💪😎😳
Appreciate it @Momgrowsthechronic. It may have been the way I used the light this grow, even the West Coast OG got to be 48 and 50 inches. We'll see what happens next time. I just got some FastBuds Zkittles and Lemon AK. Oh, and I got more WCOG and Tangie autos and they sent some RQS Royal Cookies autos as freebies. 😝 I think I'm set for the next year. Peace
@Sgtoso, Thanks bro. LOL>>> I have been sampling it for a week or so now. I can't wait to try it cured. It is incredible so far. Taste like nothing I've ever tasted before and the high is strong and long lasting. Peace
@Sgtoso, neither have I but everything I read said they would be fine and she was and is. I figured the worst that could happen is I lose the Cola, either way. Peace
@cabinriver, hey man, I enacted the plan earlier this week when she went to 71 inches and I supercropped her at 56 inches. I probably should have went a little lower but I'm a newb and still learning every day. I'll be doing an update later today or tomorrow. Peace
