So were running fastbuds newest arrival to there catalogue purple lemonade! The pics of the massive purple colas reeled me right in! So as soon as it was released my pack was in the mail. Were running her dwc with a 3 gallon reservoir! Get those roots exploding and give the rootball that mass! Healthy roots healthy fruits! We are going to top her early... as soon as she gets to the 4th node. Than Get some good branch structuring work done in the remaining veg time. Shes going to be on my GH regime ! We are going to dial her in and get those flowers fat and frosty! Oh yea and purple AF! She started her germination today... I put her into a pre moistened plug, than the plug went right into the dwc setup right above the bubble line. The rh is up in that zone ... n shell stay nice and misted by the popping bubbles aeroponics style. But wont be in direct water getting saturated leaving the seed drowned. We filled her in the net pot in lyafor(clay pebbles) but left her only lightly covered so the sprout has a easy route up. Than we will reshift the lyafor to properly cover the plug and give the stalk some better stability once the sprouts a bit bigger. We gave her a touch of bio root to help her through the initial rooting phase with strength. Than dropped the ph back to 6.1 with 1 ml of ph down. Want her to be sprouting in a perfect environment... not starting with ph problems lmfao. Will update as she germinates. I'm super excited for this purple eye candy so join me on the run way, well this beauty struts her stuff. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam!

The fun has begun for this new addition to the fastbuds lineup! Popped nice and quick right in the dwc with some bio root in the reservoir. Threw her under a variety of LEDs and and optimized her conditions to keep the dwc running nice and cool so the roots can uptake nutrients at the most efficient rate! We are gunna get those flowers fat AF and purple! And I mean PURPLE! But that all starts with a proper upbringing! So follow along with my pampered princess as she beatifies her self every step of the way! Untill next update happy growing and stay lit fam!

She seems to finally settled in and started some new growth. I find starting up rooting period is a bit longer for dwc. But once they get going they catch up quick and progress extremely fast. Mid week I checked the ph do to the sprout acting strange and ph had jumped into the mid to high 7's ... which also helped in setting her a bit back... but we balanced the ph and have been monitoring it alot closer. Seems like the bio root has my ph fluctuating alot cause I've had to drop it twice in 3 days and generally I only need to balance the ph once between reservoir changes which I do every week. But now that we have the kinks ironed out look for the growth to get alot more prosperous! Will be giving her a nutrient regimen starting this reservoir change. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam!

So this ladies been quite happy since weve been more ontop og hrr ph and we also introduced her to a nutrient regimen. Shes bumping at a quarter strength right now and loving it! Shes started to really show some nice growth above the medium! The stability has most likely allowed her to finally settle in! We are gunna keep ontop of this lady and really get her strutting her stuff! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam!

Man this bitch went off with that week of grow time. She came to life and man ,SHE CAME TO LIFE! Growth was far more abundant than I could have hoped. Like I said in a previous week, autos start slow in dwc but when they start they are quick to explode and catch up on that lost time and more! We put her on a stronger feed and swapped out bio root for flora blend. That seemed to really help her through the crunch as well. Weve been misting her twice daily and shes loved it! Leaves looking lushes as ever! And the roots are starting to pile up! We lowered her lights 6 inches and its treated her greatly! Also probably playing a role in this rampant growth. Plus all her ph problems are well sorted! This girl is ready for glory! So let's watch her strut her stuff to the finish line. Mmmmmm purple 🔥💣💥 Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.

Man this plant has become a foliage and branch machine! Filling out and evening it's own canopy! I've done nothing but leaf tucking and she has trained herself wonderfully! Very robust full bodied lady! But her natural growth creates a wonderful open spread , even canopy. Root ball is rapidly expanding! Nice healthy looking roots I might add! Weve kept up with misting this lady but we will stop once we see her blooming. No environment changes to note except we lowered the lights another 6 inches! This will likely be our threshold and we will maintain this distance as she gains vertical size. She got a tiny bit of burn from our active pest prevention program I dialed back the concentration on the last treatment and there was no more damage occurred. This will likely be our last stretch of veg time so let's hope for some more powerhouse growth! Until next update on my purple queen fastbuds style! Happy growing and stay lit fam!

Wow this lady got huge! Wide, fullbody and a wonderful spread. Her leaves continue to pump out large and lushes. Amazing branching structure makes for a dense canopy of budsites galore! We have done no training to this girl just simple regular leaf tucking. She hit flower stretch Christmas night! She proceeded to bang out 10 inches of vertical growth over night! Moving colas critically close to the led panels. Tiny bit of damage occurred but nothing that will stay... just minor discoloration that is almost since non apparent already. We caught that quickly and we raised our panels up to keep a distance of a foot between the lights and plants. All leaves are back to praying and plant is very content and happy. Just watch out for a quick and heavy stretch from this variety! Bud sites are starting to form. And we our getting our beautiful white pistils pom poms on! Love this stage when the plant really comes to life with flowers! She should start forming more structure to her flowers in the next week... she just gots to get em going. We gave her her last veg orientated feeding and she will move to a transitional feeding tonight at reservoir change. I put the nutrient chart to what the feed she is going to get will be! The root ball is now just enormous!!! And she is now drinking her res dry in half the time! Real thirsty bitch. That being said we have lowered a couple things just a touch per liter so she doesn't over feed and get toxicity of any nature. Wonderful powerhouse genetics right here! We are well on our way n the real show is about to begin! Shes now strutting her stuff down the runway with buds! And shes only gunna get sexier and sexier from here! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam! ***UPDATE So this lady kept exploding with growth which is wonderful but.... She started to choke out our original ak ladies that are much smaller in stature! So those girls were relocated and the beast of a purple lemonade plant claimed the domain as her own. We then went to work with some heavy Lst work. We set up a tie around the whole tent and started traing limbs! She now fills up the entire 2x4 hubba hubba. Full dense canopy fastbuds style! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.

This lady really took to the extensive training well! And continued to fill up her new space with a sea of flowers. Branches have since extended and turned right up. So we did a little more lst manipulating to get branches right where we want them. After that we defoliated a bit more leaves that were running back into the plant just being a pain. Not many but enough to open her up even further. BEAUTY! She is still a growing and gaining vertical height pretty quick! We might have to do some super cropping. That we will know better in a few days! Hopefully she slows down. After her last big push we did notice slight signs of calcium deficiency! Girl is a bit extra hungry for cal so we bumped her levels up. The increase in cal/mag stopped the spread and the affected leaves have not worsened. Just what the doctor ordered! Caught it good and quick to. Also added some liquid koolbloom to her diet! Really get those flowers moving. Buds are really gaining character and are growing and forming nice and tight! Gunna be some dense flowers. No purple to note yet... but still very early. This girl is still throwing budsites out left right and center. After she gets settled we should expect some nice changes lol. This girl is a beautiful beast! Cant wait for the flowers to really start blooming! Going to be Majestic. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam. ***UPDATE We ended up super cropping her main 8 inches. She responded well.

Flowers are stacking up like towers throughout our dense sea of colas. Purple is creeping through the buds as a prominent hue. But watching the purple coloring develop has me certain it's going to fully take over her calyxs! I love it. Trichomes are doubling in numbers by the day and frost is really setting in. All around flower production has been quite fruitful. Our main stem super cropping really went stellar. She reacted phenomenal and was turning up her flowers super quick. She has since elevated the bend a bit, evening it with the rest of the canopy! Amazing! We lowered our nitrogen levels a bit... as it's no longer in as much demand and I can due without any build up in these last weeks. The aroma has really strengthened! A beastly dank classic "chronic" stank bellows out of this ladys flowers that's followed by huge wofts of citrus. The scent really develops on your nose hairs... I fucking love it. This lady really has me waiting at the edge of my seat... to see those glorious flowers when they are good and ripe. Theres not a huge wait left now. Muhahahah. Until next update on this beauty. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Flower production is going off and we got some donkey dicks! Purple red and pink colors are coating our stunning calyxs. Swelling is insane and it's only a matter of time before this full bodied beast is ripening. The aroma is intense ripping right through the carbon filter and danking the entire room it's in! Insane stank. Frost is just covering ever portion of her triumphant flowers.... beauty! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam! ***UPDATE The color is really taking over and swollen calyxs have flowers mega chunky! Absolute bazookas 💪💪💪 Added some vids and pics to display the mega changes these past couple days. Untill next update happy growing and stay lit fam.

This lady has stopped bulking and really put on tremendous weight! The coloration is insane a true masterpiece of genetics right here. Velvet red with pink and purple hues! A real sight to see. Haven't seen anybody's look quite like this yet 😍🤩😍 We started to flush her 5 days ago when she stopped visibly gaining mass. Yesterday I took a sugar leaf sample from mid plant, because the flowers were starting to get amber hues and shine to em. To my surprise the trichomes were completely amber.... i know sugar leaves arent as accurate as a calyx from the flower but shit man. Looking at this lady extensively ud be lucky to find 1 or 2 orange or brown pistils. Thought I'd be good for 9 more days of flush but.... now I'm uncertain from this completely amber sugar. So I chopped off a calyx and examined. Will make a video but added pics. It too does have amber trichomes 10% actually like wtf... but the real Wonder is that the trichomes are like red velvet except the bulbs at the tip. Which are cloudy or amber. Real crazy stuff fam! I'm going to keep to my flush time for now... hopefully she doesn't ripen too much more too fast. But all white hairs wtf... misleading phenotype right here! Let's see how much the pistils will die off and orange up over the next week. But shes definitely disceaving me. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam. ***UPDATE Flush is going great and shes starting to really fade now! Added some vids and pics! Happy growing and stay lit fam!

This ladey is well into flush now and starting to really fade out! What a beauty! Coloring gets more red and defined everyday! Swelling has stopped and shes in full fledge marination. Shes completely cloudy and has been there for a while now! It's just a small wait now for some amber to roll through. Almost our whole plant is still white pistils but there mostly curled and receeding into there bulging and swollen calyxs. Fuck pistils color anyways we go by trichomes... but I'm sure most hairs will orange up before we are ready to chop. Wont be long now and we will be hitting that purple lemonade... and boy does it have me thirsty! Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam.

Man shes almost there and sooooo delicious! This strain takes longer to ripen up than most and hard to resist chopping! But hella worth the extra wait. Her flower coloring is even more defined! Pistils are orange shes got a super sexy fade! Just lovely all around appearance ! Plus she stands soooooooo sweet! Absolutely tantalizing aroma! She will be getting her final manicure in a couple days and than a couple days she will be coming down! Cant wait. Until next update happy growing and stay lit fam!

So the time has come and the lady was harvested yesterday! She was a absolute beast and a beauty so she got a real nice photo shoot. These are some harvest day videos! Blessed. She will likely take 2ish weeks to slow dry on the racks. So I didnt want to make this the harvest week. We will call this drying week 1. Next week we will drop her photo shoot from harvest day as drying week 2 . When we got the huge mass of pics and videos sorted out. Lol that will take a good week lmao. Than we will drop the harvest week once we have weights and all the specs to do the full harvest report proper. So this and the next week are not growth weeks rather drying weeks. The true harvest report will follow once shes dried! Was hard to photo her in good lighting as a whole plant. Cuz once those ties were cut this babies massive colas bent and swayed over do to the overhaul of flower mass. So we had to try something different for her pre harvest report weeks. If you'd like tell me what u think in the comments! I'd love to hear from yall. Will update with some blessed goodness! Oh what a fade! Until then happy growing and stay lit fam

Ladies still drying out! What a beast. Well she finishes of drying. Here is her harvest day photo shoot. Big n colorful! Harvesting this lady, taking off all her bigger leaves. Cutting her down into colas ... took quite some time. The fun of the harvest. Harvest report will be posted as soon as the lady is nice and dry and weighed in. Sampled and enjoyed! Until then happy growing and stay lit fam!

What a whopper! Yeilded half of my estimated kilo.... the weight difference in my estimation and the real weight was. I did not account for those thick ass branches holding those torpedoes up. But still pound off one auto filling an entire 2x4 tent with a sea of colas... next level shit by fastbuds! Flowers are sexy af! Rainbow buffet of sweet berry flavor amazing terp pallet! Lots of frost coats the colorful flowers making them shine like stained glass BLESSED! High is extremly relaxing and narcotic .. she packs a punch. Perfect movie or chilling wit fam kinda bud. Better have those munchies on deck cuz ur gunna be tempting your cupboards. Want a large potent colorful yeild! This is the variety for u. You wont be disappointed. Amazing strain and definitely will be indulging again. Only thing I dont get is where the lemonade comes in... anyways live it. Happy growing and stay lit fam!
