I sort of feel bad the rating I gave as the high itself is absolutely lovely. Right up my alley, strong indica with lovely body buzz through a vape. The flavour is great too. Should cure up amazingly.
It was interesting to run this along side a Mephisto to see how Fastbuds holds in practice. Unfortunately overall I'm not impressed with these genetics.
Pros:
* Tester nugs seem to indicate decent potency is there
* Some very nice fruity terps
Cons:
* The plant stayed very small and dense. It was so leafy that despite defoliation and LST it was basically just a few colas and a mass of leaves. I do need to get my humidity down but was not surprised to find bud rot on the main cola.
* It is noticeably lest frosty than the Chemdogging that was done along side it.
* Despite the plant being so compact, the structure of the buds themselves is bad. Really loose and leafy, lots of the bigger colas just broke apart into larf that was not well developed and hard to trim into anything useful.
* The yield was 42g compared to Mephistos 65g. I'm not a good grower but most diaries I've seen on here for Zkittlez are giving those numbers, with plenty even lower than that.
Overall, I'm looking forward to smoking the cured product, but Fastbuds need to work on breeding some of the above traits out, which I don't feel they've taken the time to do on this strain.
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌

Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Great looking crop! I'm using the same light ... or at least close. A 135W QB from HLG. I noticed you said that you turned your light down near the end of the season. Why are you doing this? Not a technique I've heard of before, but it certainly seems to be working for you! Good luck with the rest of the grow.
@paulsgrows, late in life I run my light as close as 12-inches. When I first received the light I did some testing. HLG has a calculator that lets you convert LUX from cheap/free phone light meter. I also used the measurements from HLG and other sources. Our little board will put out nearly 1,000 PPFD at 12-inches and that is about the max for mature plants.
I don't know if too much light is the cause of large leaves yellowing late in life. I think that is mostly just the lifecycle of the plant. If the plant is no longer putting on new growth, other than buds, I think it will take all the light you can give it without overheating the plant. ✌️🤛
@BladeCutter, Thanks for that, yes same light! I just turned mine down as the plants were getting a lot of yellowing and I couldn't figure it out. So I turned down the light to try and stress them less and get them to the finish line. I always seem to have issues like this and can't tell if the light is too strong for them or if it's something else.
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Continue to do what you do and ask the growing ganja gods to protect your women until the growth is complete.
