I had lots of problems with this plant. From around day 7 I could tell something was off. Around day 10, I transplanted from a solo cup to a 1-gallon pot to give her a bit more room and soil. It didn't help, and she never recovered no matter what I tried. Since then, I've read several other reports of similar problems with this strain. It may be bad luck, but I think this one could use a bit more work. Buds smell like berries and chocolate to me, but they are airy and light. I may try this one again someday, but this first run left me sour.

From the beginning, this plant had issues. After speaking with other growers, this seems to be fairly common with this strain, and that sucks. That said, from the little bud I did get from this run, I really enjoyed it. The flavor is sweet and earthy and very enjoyable. The high is comfy and relaxing, but not insanely heavy either. It's a great evening weed. I'd like to try this one again for a better result, but the horror stories and sad mutation or whatever kind of puts me off popping another. We will see. In the meantime, there are lots of other FastBuds strains to try. 😁👍🏻 Thanks for the chance to grow the Blackberry autoflower.

Good luck on this practice run man, great seeing it happen live, gonna follow this one with interest, the fast buds were some that did the best in the solo cups for me but i didn t even give them nutes so i'll be taking notes on your technique growmie learning by reading with you first then by doing on my own maybe next time? @silky_smooth did/does/is doing a solo cup challenge right now actually check hers out too 👊 🚀 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆

@CRiSPrGrow, thanks! I run two small tents, so I have to keep my plants a bit smaller than I'd like. A solo cup grow works perfectly to get to try a bunch of things with minimal resources. That said, I don't plan on giving any nutes this run either. We shall see. 😉👍🏻

try something like humic acid or another chelation agent to correct the root rot problem - hope this helps ! 🚀

@@ExcessDope, you can actually add it to your flushing for an "additive flush" that's shorter than a plain water flush bigger pots bigger plants to a point isnt it 👌

@CRiSPrGrow, thanks for the tip. I'll have to read up on this. In the meantime, I'm happy just watching her do her thing. She hasn't gotten any worse, and still seems to be flowering okay. I'm kind of just waiting to see how she turns out. 😉👍🏻 I aim to try again at some point. This strain deserves a better shot.

@MaxwellSH, thanks! They're definitely a challenge to grow well. But I've really been enjoying my tiny autos. They're fun and a good way to sample a strain imo.

@GreenISR, for real though. This one has me stumped. That said, I really have heard of other growers having some issues with this strain. It's a bummer, but it does happen. I'll try again, if I like the effects/flavor.

the blue bin, you have several plants there?
ExcessDope
ExcessDopecommented5 years ago
@Rawcookies, nope. That is a single clone that has been mainline and then topped randomly all over the place, lol. I am aiming for a whole lot of 'tops' to fill in the SCROG net I've built. 😁👍🏻

Your harvest was not the wost, at least you got something. Looks nice too! I grew a purple punch auto last year, only got like 8g in total and only about 1.5g of that was dank. I made some mistakes and implemented what I learnt this season. Looking much better this year!

That’s exactly the same as my ones 😑 it’s gotta be the worst plants I’ve ever grown 😂 least I know it ain’t me, I’m well disappointed can’t see fast buds keeping this strain too many problems. Hopefully yours swells a tad more mine finished up at 9 weeks didn’t change from 8 to 9 thou 😫
