RockoCalenberg When is a Fast Flower actually defoliated and lollypopped? Also on flowering day 21? Or is that too late?

RockoCalenberg She's still doing well and has quite the thirst, about 10 liters every 2 days. Unfortunately, I've discovered some hermaphrodite signs on certain shoots in the form of single bananas and removed them with tweezers. Something isn't right with her, I've never had hermaphrodite issues before 🤔

RockoCalenberg The final phase begins. Let's see how long it takes to mature. I have to keep removing bananas, the hermaphroditism is really not nice 😞 Otherwise, I'm quite satisfied with the cookie 🍪 lady ✌️

RockoCalenberg The eighth week begins. She's already far along but not finished yet. So, she gets a bit more time. The trichomes are still way too clear for my liking, so it’s time to wait... Bud Rot😱 Mold alert👎 Had to sacrifice the biggest bud to the mold, unfortunately, the stem and some buds couldn't be saved 😥 I didn't find anything on the rest 🧐

RockoCalenberg Then she probably needs 9 weeks or more after all... 😁 The little ones are already pushing, but the lady isn't rushing. Unfortunately, she's still not cloudy enough for me, but it's getting there slowly. She's also sucking everything from the leaves into the bloom. So I don't really find my lady to be Fast Flower after all 🐌

RockoCalenberg The tenth week begins and it looks pretty ragged. The buds are a purplish, pinkish, sparkling resin dream 😍 The trichomes are still clouding up and it gives off a great scent, but I think these are the last days and this week it will be done. Can't wait forever, right?

Tropicana Cookies FF – Rocko’s Final Cut | Calenberger Edition Der Run in einem Satz Optisch stark, terp-technisch interessant – strukturell aber zu blättrig und am Ende nicht ganz mein Film. Setup & Verlauf Fast Flower Variante von Fast Buds Reife zog sich länger als gewünscht Leichtes Zwitter-Thema Strukturell sehr unterschiedlich ausgeprägt Geruch (im Glas) Deutlich teigig-cookie-lastig. Kein subtiler Hauch – das ist schon ein richtiger Cookies-Anschlag. Dazu: leichte Würze minimal erdig (aber nicht schwer oder muffig) dezente Frucht im Hintergrund dieses dunkle, leicht „verpurpelte“ Aroma, das man tatsächlich schmeckt Nicht übertrieben fruchtig. Eher rund, balanciert – mit klarer Cookie-DNA. Geschmack Im Rauch: cremig-teigig würzig leicht dunkle, fast beerige Purple-Note Frucht bleibt im Hintergrund Keine Geschmacks-Explosion. Aber sauber, angenehm und stimmig. Wirkung Definitiv Daytime-tauglich. Sachte anflutend Klar im Kopf Nicht drückend Kein „in-der-Ecke-liegen“ Da kann man sich auch mal einen dickeren Blunt drehen, ohne komplett wegzutreten. Funktional, sozial, kontrolliert. Optik & Struktur Oben: Feste, ansehnliche Buds Gute Dichte Mitte: Noch okay Unten: Viel zu viel Popcorn Locker Strukturell schwach Knapp ein Drittel war Kleinkram. Und die nicht ganz festen Buds waren extrem blättrig. Trim-Realität: Gefühlt 38.000 Zuckerblätter. Der Blätterhaufen war fast so groß wie der verwertbare Rest. Optisch teilweise zerrupft. Das war kein angenehmes Finish. Hier wäre radikaleres Auslichten sinnvoll gewesen: Oben 3–5 Internodien durchziehen – Rest konsequent kappen. ️ Negativpunkte Blättrige Struktur Hoher Popcorn-Anteil Zwitter-Thema Sehr lange Reifephase Purple-Charakter ist einfach nicht ganz mein Ding ️ Ertrag 280g trocken Mengenmäßig absolut im Rahmen! Aber Qualität der unteren Bereiche zieht den Gesamteindruck runter. Die Übermenge laut CanG wurde unmittelbar der Bio Tonne zugeführt!!! Mein Fazit Interessantes Terpenprofil. Solider, funktionaler Rausch. Optisch oben schön – unten enttäuschend. Würde ich sie nochmal ins Zelt stellen? Eher nein. Zu viel Trim-Arbeit. Zu inkonsequent in der Struktur. Und das Purple-Thema kickt mich persönlich nicht mehr. Calenberger Cut. Ehrlich geerntet. Abgehakt. Rocko bleibt dran ️ Tropicana Cookies FF – Rocko’s Final Cut | Calenberger Edition One-Line Summary Beautiful on top, interesting terps — but structurally too leafy and not fully my kind of strain. Run Overview Fast Flower version from Fast Buds Long ripening phase Slight herm issue Very uneven bud structure Aroma (Jar Test) Strong cookie-dough presence. Not subtle — this is a real Cookies punch. Underneath that: light spice slightly earthy (but not heavy or muddy) balanced fruit in the background a darker, slightly “purple” tone you can actually smell Not overly fruity. More balanced and rounded with clear Cookies genetics shining through. Flavor In smoke: creamy dough mild spice slightly dark / berry-like purple note fruit remains subtle Not a flavor bomb. But smooth, pleasant and coherent. Effect Definitely daytime material. Gentle onset Clear-headed Functional No couch-lock You can roll a proper blunt and still stay upright. Social, manageable, not overwhelming. Structure & Visuals Top buds: Firm Good density Visually appealing Middle: Acceptable Lower section: Too much popcorn Loose Structurally weak Roughly one third ended up as small popcorn material. And trimming… Way too leafy. The sugar leaf volume was almost equal to usable bud mass. That kind of trimming is not enjoyable. In hindsight: Should have limited it to 3–5 strong internodes on top and removed the rest early. ️ Downsides Leaf-heavy structure High popcorn ratio Herm tendency Long ripening time Purple profile isn’t really my personal preference ️ Yield Quantity: acceptable. Quality distribution: inconsistent. Final Verdict Interesting terp profile. Functional, smooth daytime high. Nice tops — disappointing lower structure. Would I run it again? Probably not. Too much trim work. Too inconsistent. And the purple character just doesn’t excite me anymore. Calenberger Cut. Honestly harvested. Case closed.

RockoCalenberg So after 66 days it was enough! It was harvested. ✂️ 6️⃣ 6️⃣ ✅ The trichomes are still not completely milky, but the lady is hermaphroditing more again, so I can live with half cloudy. 😁 With the long ripening, she has also formed fox tails and overall she is too leafy for me...

You're not alone in having had hermaphroditism issues with this strain. Fast Buds messed up... too bad for us.

RockoCalenberg commented2mo ago
@Lekouz_2023, yes, unfortunately it seems that this was not an isolated case. 😕 For me, it was probably both the first and last Fast Buds. There are simply many other breeders that appeal to me more. 💚✌️
