We've reached the end, the branches are dry and it's time to put everything in pots. There'll be plenty to fill! It's been a long time since I started and I never imagined I would get these results with autoflowering plants. Really good production and quality from FastBud and I think I will try other genetics soon. I am very proud of how I have been able to get this variety to express itself and the new techniques that I have learned during cultivation. Compared to the time frame the grower reports for these seeds I preferred to wait a couple more weeks before harvesting and I didn't mind at all. This was positive on the buds which remained more compact and very resinous. The high concentration of trichomes makes the buds appear similar in colour to white which is broken up by the orange pistils that stand out considerably on the buds. The smell is intensely citrusy with tones reminiscent of undergrowth and burnt caramel. When smoked all these smells can almost be discerned in the mouth. In this period I kept everything hanging on a clothesline and it was very effective, the buds dried quickly also thanks to the favorable summer temperatures. In terms of quantity, it was not a bad harvest at all. The plant yielded more than 80g even though it did not put any stress on it except for some pruning of the lower branches and thicker leaves. By the time the work is done the only thing to do is wait for the buds to ripen perfectly inside the pots and then I can really enjoy all the flavors and all the qualities of this Queen. For now it's not bad at all but you can still feel that the buds are fresh. The high is very intense and very heavy on the body but you can travel to other planets with your brain. One of the first and best plants that I have ever grown, really all excellent and perfect.

Two endless weeks waiting for everything to be ready but it was worth it. Everything hung with controlled values around 55% humidity and a temperature of about 26/27 degrees.

Looking good man! We just finished a round of 3 California snow and it was a fun grow!! Very pungent smell with really long orange hairs! Very impressive I’m sure you’ll be happy when harvest time comes! You should really consider using the LST technique and train your plants! I swear by it! For some reason it makes them way more frosty and who doesn’t like that lol! Good luck 👍🍀

@MiPotFarm,Thanks for the advice. I haven't tried plant training yet, but it will be my next target.

i would recommend some LST to open this girl up! Also, snip some of those fan leaves!! It will open her bouquet! This will increase your yields by a bazillion percent, crazy science proven lol She looks very healthy and amazing otherwise! The genes could probably benefit from topping tbh. Happy growing :) im excited for you!

@JuicyBuds__BLM,Thank you so much for the trust. I'll try to remove a few leaves so the light can pass better.

@Makers_Mark12, In my opinion its a prime time to train lightly and defoliate, but i completely understand. I know it doesnt feel natural, but you have a very healthy girl who looks like she will shake it off! I am on week 9, Week 4 of flower, and im still training and defoliating every couple days. Just minor adjustments of pulling side branches down to open her up and snipping leaves that block light to buds. Whatever you decide to do, i will be following! You are doing great! Keep it up:)

@JuicyBuds__BLM,Great thanks for the advice. I think I'm not doing lst because it's late and already in bloom. I'll think about the leaves in the next few days. I will take everything into consideration for the next plants.

Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Keep doing what you are doing and ask the growing ganja gods to protect your women until the growth is over.

@Bouleuss,Thank you very much. I'm really glad you like it. Hopefully the ganja gods will see me through to the end and not abandon me first. I will give my all until the end.
