First Time Fast Buds Photoperiods

rreifsn This is my first time posting on Grow Diaries. I have been growing for over 20 years, exclusively indoors for the last 7. I have grown all types of cannabis plants but I now focus exclusively on photoperiods. I'm posting this account only because I tried Fast Bud's photo's for the first time and I was completely blown away by the individual genetics and resulting structure produced by every one of their seeds I germinated! I've grown over 175 individual plants indoors and I have never seen such exceptional vigor and structure. I had known about Fast Buds ever since 2021 but wasn't aware they produced photos until recently. I was intrigued by their website but put off by the higher than average seed price. I ended up buying two trial packs; High Yielder and Terpesbomb and I germinated 5 of the 6 seeds which is my usual batch size. In hindsight that was a mistake as I wasn't expecting their exceptional growth rate. All the plants developed an impeccable structure with little training and filled out impressively during flowering making for a crowded grow space. I treated all plants with Regalia biocide (knotvine extract) during veg to prevent powdery mildew which worked. Only the LCR showed trace amts of mildew so far during flowering which I treated with Potassium Bicarbonate. Having massive plants is a good thing really but for my next grow I will cut back on the number of plants and up the training to improve air flow. Needless to say my opinion of Fast Buds skyrocketed! I can't help but reiterate how impressive each plant I germinated became. Their growth rate and structure development surpassed any of the F1s I've previously grown and that says ALOT! At 7 weeks each has developed numerous, massive buds that are starting to tighten up nicely. Since I use under canopy lighting even the lowest buds are getting hard. No larf on these plants. With their current size and continued bud growth rate I'm expecting a spectacular harvest. While I haven't tried every photoperiod seed supplier I have tried a lot of them and Fast Buds offerings are at the supreme pinnacle of quality. I just can't stress enough how impressed I am. I've already ordered 10 packs of Biscotti Gelato, Papayton, Garlic mint Sherbet, Gary Sherbet, GG4 and a 20 pack of Z42. I plan to get the rest of their photo catalog starting with Fumez42! I will post an update for harvest.
