She's a beauty, her colors, her stickiness, her fade, everything ๐๐๐She took well to late topping & nutrients (1/2 of recommended), didn't show any overfeeding etc. Lots of crystals started showing at the beginning of week 9; Started fading beautifully in week 10. Pink & Yellow leaves, orange hair, soooooooo many crystals. Iโm in love whooooaaaaaaa ๐Her buds are mint pastel colored, small to medium sized and have a slight pink hue to them, very pretty and graceful.
After couple of months of curing and looking back at this grow, I think this plant was harvested too late. I was waiting for some amber trichs, now I'm convinced she is one, that is best harvested with milky only. Also, compliments to FastBuds team, not only do you sell beautiful genetics, but you also do a great job engaging your growers/customers ๐I felt very comfortable growing your seeds, knowing I could come here and ask you, if needed, thanks ๐
Seems to be working well, I'm happy with it. Especially Heaven made the biggest noticeable difference in stem size and robustness of overall plant. She recovered well from a late Topping and build some beautiful sticky buds.
Flawless Finish seems to have improved the flush and enhanced the fading, beautiful colors. Bud Candy, I imagine it changed the smell, but might not be from it? Will use it again and maybe compare properly next time.
SECOND UPDATE - 27th of February 2020 - DRY WEIGHT & LOVE (smoke report to follow)
16. Nov. 2019 - 15. Feb. 2020 - 90 Days grown from Seed - Topped at Day 22
37g total dry weight, after I gave them a very nice trim. They started curing in glass jars on 20/2/2020 and are currently between 61-63%RH inside. Burping every other hour for couple of minutes.

Trimming her took me 2 days, never have I trimmed a plant that sticky, it's not hard, since only my 2nd grow, still... WOW ๐She was almost crumbling of glitter, very different experience from trimming the other plants. I tried collecting all her kief, just moving her from tray to tray, she lost a lot. I must say, collecting kief sucks, I don't have the right tools, it seems. Please share your trimming & collecting technique and tools. Also she lost a lot of calyxes, I was surprised there was still something on it ๐ฑI collected those too hehe, who knows, maybe I decorate a Cannagar with it, this will be my next project.

FIRST UPDATE - She is still drying and not yet trimmed or ready to show herself ๐Also I have a lot of respect trimming her, never had such a sticky plant... Can I just leave everything on??? ๐ I will update as I go on with her. She's a beauty, her colors, her stickiness, everything. Her fade ๐๐๐ Can't wait to trim her ๐We have snacked a lot of her while she was still growing, almost all smaller buds (she had a lot) ๐I'm blaming science and documenting, but seriously, she was already really strong, wow wow wow.
Day 90 - 15. Feb of 2020 - she was chopped and put in a vase full of PH water in a dark place for 48 hours.
Day 92 - 17. Feb - she moved into the drying tent. Her trichomes were nicely amber with some milky and some clear, good mix.
Only 3 days later - 20. Feb - I panic harvested her out of the tent. My two other plants got really dry, so I panicked and cut her stems down and put them into jars. So she had a total dry time of 6 days, if you include the 2 days in darkness. I monitored the humidity, it spiked up to 70%, that's when I took them out, spread them and aired them out for several hours. Back in the jars they sit at a comfortable 65% now, being burped and pampered every day
I harvested my first very sticky plant and was planning on collecting kief while trimming. My current setup (mesh screen on top of glass, mirror, plastic) did not work well. Can someone share their comfortable trimming/collecting setup please? Thanks ๐
Hey Growmie ...
I would suggest using silkscreen. You take the trim and rub it across the silkscreen and the kief will fall through the bottom so make sure you have something underneath to catch it. I found this is still the easiest and cheapest way for collecting kief without buying expensive equipment like a dry sift tumbler.
Hopefully, this was helpful and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics ๐
Let us know if you need any assistance, weโre more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! ๐ฑโ๏ธ๐ด๐๐ฟ๐ณ
@starke, If the trichomes are half milky/cloudy and half clear, wait a little more because the plant is still maturing. Itโs recommended to harvest when at least 70% of the trichomes turn cloudy. At this point, you get to enjoy the best medicinal and sedative effects.
@Fast_Buds, Hi guys and thanks for recognising :) Question, when would you recommend to harvest her? Does she show proper amber trichs? Her sugar leaves are crisping up and she looks quite finished. Trichomes though look milky with only little amber. Btw, beautiful job done, great genetics ๐Thanks and happy day
@Fast_Buds, Guys ๐thank you so much, I have enjoyed growing your genetics a lot!!! Compliments to you, you do a great job, Cheers to you, first time smoking her, I'll send you some good energy over ๐
