Strain
This is FFT5, the first FastBuds fast flowering photoperiod I get to review. Overall, my first foray into the testers was hampered by winter conditions and other struggles, not a great start. I am also trying to ease myself into more effective plant sizes, experiment with sea of green, and so forth. This plant was never meant to be a massive yield.
Growing was simply, it seems to shoot up easily, was one of the first of the testers to recover/look good, and it seems lanky and capable of stretch. I really stripped the branches to ensure total focus on the two main buds (one topping). The plant was young, small. but green going into flower. I am somewhat surprised by how little it bulked up. The buds were thin, not bulbous.
The smell during growing was non existent, or overpowered, and after drying it doesn’t get much strong. Just a sort of subtle cannabis smell. This strain would be primarily used for effects over taste.
The effects are for sure indica, and nice and strong. I gotta say I really enjoyed when this was mixed in the background of other strains. I found it was hard to consistently overcome the indica drain. Lovely!
I would prefer more dense buds, FFT5 was slightly stringy, but very visually nice. The trichome production was really good!
I did get some clones, and have further FFT5 on the go, so I will try to build them up larger next time.
