Overall she was a pleasure to grow. FastBuds definitely earned their name! The smell that was radiating from her was mouth watering. The buds ended up drying pretty thin and airy but that is completely my fault. I’m pretty sure I destroyed her with nutrients. Next time around I’ll be feeding much less and learn to use my PPM meter to get this down to an even better science. My space heater torched some buds so I definitely lost some weight. No excuses though couldn’t be happier that I have some FastBuds Pineapple Express! I’ll update with dry weight after a couple week cure. I’ll also update taste and smoke in a couple weeks after a nice cure. Probably add some more pictures! Put some Christmas lights on her quick with a buddy of mine and we mixed a little video. Short and sweet! Merry Christmas GrowDiaries! And a happy new year! Update week after harvest: Hung her for three days to dry. Then I jarred her but wasn’t in my curing zone. So I’ve been going back and forth with her leaving the jars open for 4-5 hours a pop. Yesterday I dumped her all out and let her air out for a little. I use a tiny hygrometer in the jars to check Relative humidity. I like my bud at 60%. Right now I got her to 65%. Another day or two of opening the jars for 4-5 hours and she’ll be in the cure zone. I’ll let her sit for a month (no doubt I’ll dip into it in a week or two for a taste test) popping the lid on the daily for 5-10 minutes. While I had her completely out of the jar I decided to do a quick weigh. A solid 151 grams. I’m impressed with that. She’ll lose a little more weight so that’s why I didn’t add it as the official dry weight. Also I said the buds were airy. I take that back jarring them early allowed them to puff up a little bit. Call it a Christmas Miracle!! Update: So I finally got all the jars in my cure zone which is 60% RH going off my mini hygrometer. They are anywhere from 56%-60%. She weighed in with a whopping 144 grams. I am super stoked by that number. The 7 gallon pot paid off! She hasn’t gotten her pineapple smell back. I’m positive in another couple weeks she will regain it with a proper long cure. For right now I just get that skunk earth smell. So my analysis on the smoke as of right now is a super good one. It’s a very clean smoke already which surprised me. Usually a little bite with only a week cure. But it was hella smooth. The high is an amazing one. Not overly energetic but just enough! I almost felt a tingly feeling in the knoggin which I attribute to a euphoric sensation. I was in a creative uplifting energetic mood!This is perfect for the afternoon before you head out for the day. It definitely had me laughing and a permanent shit eating grin on my face. I honestly can’t say enough good things. I’m super impressed with the FastBud genetics and also can’t say enough good things about the FastBuds crew. Their representative on GrowDiaries is awesome. I had a bunch of questions for him and they were answered incredibly fast despite the huge time difference! If your a beginner and want a hassle free strain with experts backing you the whole way I highly recommend Pineapple Express by FastBuds. I’ll update one more time in the coming weeks. So I felt the need to explain the new pictures. I have a picture of the two bowls stacked on the scale. I hit the tare button to zero it out. I then poured all the jars into the bowl. Then boom 144 grams. Also the ft squared option for the box kinda confused me so I put my square feet in. So if that doesn’t jive I apologize. Anyone that wants to help clarify please feel free! Final update: I grabbed a couple budds and took some pictures. So far the smoke is a great wake and bake for me. She hasn’t regained her pineapple smell YET! I have full confidence she’ll get a hint of that amazing citrus smell she had during flowering! I’m big on the cure so she’ll probably be in jars for the next 2-3 months. Like a fine wine she’ll get better with time! Well that’s pretty much a wrap! I hope you enjoyed this little trip. It for sure was fun as hell for me.

I’ll update more info after a nice cure! Update: So in conclusion. Super easy Grow. She didn’t give me any problems. Only problems were the heater torching some buds. I put her in a 7 gallon smart pot just to see what an Autoflower would do. Well she paid off and then some! Ended up with 144 grams of some primo FastBuds!00

How do you like growing this autoflower from FastBuds? I've been wanting to trying this strain from FastBuds for a while because of the nostalgia from college with the movie.
TeflonDonFarms
TeflonDonFarms
@ChewVodka85, This is my first Grow with FastBuds and so far it’s been pretty awesome! I highly recommend it for the nostalgia and because it gives off a serious citrus pine smell that you would slobber over! Super healthy from veg to flower. Took nutrients like a champ. It’s a solid choice!

Loving it mate, keep up the excellent work 😁👍. My next grow will be this plant, hope she turns out as well. What's your thoughts on topping the autos? Or just reckon run the lst?
TeflonDonFarms
TeflonDonFarms
@Lilman, Yes, very risky. I’m sure you would time it right. But you have superior genetics in Fastbuds so I think the colas will be plentiful. I wouldn’t top her. Your right though you gotta take a chance and go for all of the biscuits😂😂!!! Thank god you didn’t throw up that net that would have sucked. I’ve only grown autos and I’ve found the bigger the pot, the more the soil, the happier the roots, the bigger the plant and the bigger the harvest. Although a ton of people produce from small pots so again this is what I’ve gained from autos! That’s a great call with the fabric pots. I’ve run some plastic pots right next to them and there’s no comparison the smart pot is way better in my opinion! 21l is close to 5 gallons right? If so your money big dawg! Should be plenty of dense as F*** colas! I’m excited to see it when you get on the FastBuds genetics!
Lilman
Lilman
@TeflonDonFarms, man every bit of advice counts aye thanks😁, and yeah from doing bit of research seem pretty risky if you don't time it right. But saying that gotta risk it for the biscuit Haha. I'm thinking I might give the scrog a go because I've never done scrog, I was going to scrog those plant you've just seen but didn't think it'd fill it, aswell as I had a regular seed in there and didn't want it to turn male and have to pull it all down (which it did turn male haha so lucky). I'm running a 1.2m2 by 2m high so it's not to bad, was just thinking of trying to make as many colas as I can. I'm going to be running couple in 20l air pots and couple in 15l plastic pots but thinking of buying couple more air pots since I've had really good success with the one I have in it atm.

Big ups on the harvest, I can't wait to see how the buds treat you after curing. What's next on your grow list? Also, would you recommend this strain as far as easy growing and bud production? Thanks bro
TeflonDonFarms
TeflonDonFarms
@@Colorado, For sure! My thoughts exactly I love that fuckin movie. Definitely gonna toke up and watch it!!!! A lot of the strains FastBuds offer give off unique colors. But some of them steal the show like LSD-25. Do yourself a favor and check out their website. I believe week 5 or 6 you start noticing a change in color. I like to surf FastBuds harvests on GrowDiaries and see what I’m getting into! I didn’t look close enough into the diaries to see if they changed their temps. I’m leaning towards no they didn’t.

@TeflonDonFarms, Thanks man! I've tried the Green Crack and GSC from Fastbuds, but I had always wanted to try Pineapple Express because of the movie lol. I felt the strain might help me relive my college moments, plus it'd be dope to smoke that and just watch the movie truthfully. I hear LSD is up there on the THC scale, I'm not sure about the BlackCherry I haven't seen that one yet. Also, what do you mean color changing LSD strain? Does it turn purple during color temps at flowering?
TeflonDonFarms
TeflonDonFarms
@@@@Colorado, thanks I appreciate that! I highly recommend this strain. It’s definitely a high yielder with the right treatment. The smell is unbelievable it really is mouth watering. She took everything like a champ and was forgiving of me over feeding her(rookie mistake). That was my first fastbud grow. Im going to stick within there line of strains and grow them out. I want to do a color changing bud next like LSD-25 or Blackcherry. Not sure yet. I built my box so I was thinking about tearing some of it down and making more room so the space heater doesn’t tear up buds. Not sure yet. Gonna make that decision after New Years.

Hey man, What LEDS are you running here? Currently growing in 5Gallon Fabric Pots myself and they pretty bigger than i expected lol. Looking forward to your results with the 7Gallon. 😵
TeflonDonFarms

@SadBoyDabs710, I’ll remove some leaves to open her up a little. Any other leaves were trashed from the little space heater I have in the box. I’m contending with freezing temps so I’m happy with anything! I’ll look into the lights maybe if I decide to upgrade you could help me out!!
Dabout

@TeflonDonFarms, You should do some research in COB LEDS ;) Regarding snipping the lower leaves, guess you have had good results so far? I thought they don't recommended cutting/stressing out Autoflowers
TeflonDonFarms
TeflonDonFarms
@SadBoyDabs710, One 250 watt LED and one 300 watt LED. 7 gallon has been an adventure. She is pretty big. There are a ton of things I would have done differently but that’s the name of the game. I definitely killed her with nutrients. Next go around I’ll def pipe down the nutrients. I also should have snipped a ton of those lower buds earlier in flowering. I would have much rather had the weight up top.

@SadBoyDabs710, My box is exposed to the outdoor elements a little bit more than I’d like so the RH is so low because the cold weather is getting pretty bad. Thanks for the love big dawg!

This is a KILLER looking grow. I see some experience shining through here. Nice job! I am attempting my first "topless" SCROG (trying to bend instead) with 6 different strains right now, of which one strain is FastBuds Pineapple Express. It would be cool if you would follow along and make a suggestion or two. - Zannabis7

TeflonDonFarms
@Lilman, 5 gallon is perfect! I bumped up to a 7 just to see what the difference is between them. To big for my taste just because I have limited space. What strains ya gonna run instead of FastBuds? You should at least throw one Fastbud bean in and compare the growth to the others. You won’t regret it!
