Smoking_Joe_Frasier’s Natural Grow Diary – Fast Buds Outdoor Contest 2025

Smoking_Joe_Frazier Smoking_Joe_Frasier’s Natural Grow Diary – Fast Buds Outdoor Contest 2025 Let’s kick off this organic adventure! Strain Selection: Why These Three Fast Buds Autos? 1. Bruce Banner Auto Genetics: Jack Herer x OG Kush x Ruderalis Why? The name says it all! This autoflower version of the legendary Bruce Banner combines XXL yields with the relaxed growth of autoflowers. Thanks to its Jack Herer roots, it delivers massive buds with high THC levels (up to 25%) and a euphoric, creative high. Perfect for those who love efficiency and power – exactly my style! 2. Forbidden Runtz Auto Genetics: Forbidden Fruit x Runtz Why? My grow buddy was right: This strain is an aromatic explosion! The sweet, berry-like notes of Forbidden Fruit meet the cozy, indica-dominant (70%) body high of Runtz. The result? A deeply relaxing, couch-lock experience, ideal for movie nights or sunset sessions on the balcony. Plus, the purple hues during flowering are pure Instagram gold! 3. Green Crack Auto Genetics: Skunk #1 x Ruderalis Why? Revenge grow! A few years ago, my Green Crack grew huge, with a mango scent that enchanted the neighborhood – but "complications" ruined the harvest (️). Now, I’m claiming my rightful yield! FastBuds is sadly discontinuing this strain soon – last chance to grow this energizing sativa (60% sativa) with its legendary focus-boosting buzz! The Setup: Going Full Organic Germination: Paper towel + cling wrap = 3/3 success!* FastBuds seeds are simply unbeatable. The tiny taproots are already popping – let’s roll! Pots: - Starter phase: 0.27L plastic pots for the first few days. Yes, autos hate transplanting – but these mini pots are super practical. - Final home: After 10-14 days, they’ll move to 15L fabric pots. More space = more roots = more buds! Soil & Nutrients: - Seedling stage: Biobizz Light Mix + a sprinkle of worm castings for gentle nutrients. - Main phase: Biobizz Allmix (pre-fertilized for 6 weeks) mixed with extra worm castings. - Nutrient boosters: 2x Biotabs per pot for slow-release power + diluted Bokashi juice (1:100) to activate soil microbes. Mycorrhizal Magic: - Secret weapon: A pinch of mycorrhiza goes straight into the planting hole and root zone during transplanting. These fungi boost nutrient uptake and stress resistance – proven in other current photoperiod grow! The Challenges: North Balcony Struggles Forseeable challenges: - Light shortage: North-facing balcony = minimal direct sunlight. Hoping for long summer days. In smaller stages they can chill with the tomatoes in the greenhouse for a few days - Weather roulette: Outdoor growing means rain, wind, and neighbor’s dog. Also snails, other pests, and the good old mildew will give me headaches like always. - Autoflower timing: Autos flower on their own – fingers crossed they sync with the best light my balcony can offer! What’s Next? - Day 1-10:South-facing windowsill for strong seedling growth. - Day 10 onward: Relocation to the north balcony. Updates: Weekly photos here – let’s see if the mycorrhiza-Biotabs combo lives up to the hype! Last year’s contrast: In 2024, I used coco coir and mineral fertilizers (Terra Aquatica Tripart series) for my outdoor grow. The outcome was a solid yield and even better quality outdoors. If you’re curious, check out my 2024 diary – it was quite the journey and a great learning experience! This year’s grow is a big shift: 100% natural, no mineral fertilizers. I’m curious if the taste will truly improve and whether I’ll match last year’s yield. We’ll see, Growmies – this is gonna be one wild adventure, and I’m very excited!
