Well, Fastbuds, they never called me fastgrower!! You sent me these seeds MONTHS ago, and waited on my grow season to start. Much appreciated, and in turn, I will grow your little ladies with the utmost care and respect they deserve. Lets see the full potential of these fast finishers, cant wait for you to tell me whats in em! All seeds popped within 48 hours of germination in paper towel method. So far, off to a good start!

Fast Finishing Tester was transplanted to 3 gallon soilless mix and fed a low dosage nutrient solution. Happy in its new home, ready to show the world what it is made of. Dig the sticker?

Growing well in relation to all other FFt's. Health is good, structure is symmetrical, and he plant is loving life. Will veg for another 3 to 4 weeks before the flip. Looking forward to whats in store, and looking forward to knowing the genetics that make up this fine specimen.

This is definitely indica dominant. Shes a short girl compared to her sisters, and im hoping for a stinky cheesy indica ladden with glorious crystals. We shall see No topping and very easy on the lst with this one, just a bend and a few leaf clips to bushy her up Feeding at 1.1 ec, veg nutes, cal mag. PH steady at 5.8 during hand waters every 3 days or so Defoliation and LST used to manage her Follow my son Budxless on his first GrowDiaries journey I go live in the Scroggernaut Sundays at 9:00pm EST- budxsmedical on insta

This is the last week of veg for the FFT's. This one is growing amazingly and is super healthy. Will be switching to 12/12 this week, probably in 2 or 3 days. I will defoliate quite a bit on day one of the flip and day 23, cuz thats Budxs' lucky number, or something. Hoping this strain is a winner and excited to hear what Fastbuds names it. This one has got to be a cheese. Looks so much like a cheese to me, I rally hope so anyways. Will know in a few weeks, cuz theres no mistaking a cheese smelling strain Thanks again to Fastbuds for the free beans!!!

First week of flower for this healthy and happy FFT. Really looking forward to Fastbuds releasing the names of these strains, because they all grow very differently. I'm guessing at #8 being cheese, but it will be a complete surprise on all the others. This girl is sitting pretty and taking up her designated space perfectly. A heavy defoliation on F1 opened up some tops to the light. There has been a massive growback in just 3.5 days of flower, as well as a massive stretch. I have all the headroom in the world, so I will let these maximize. All healthy, no spots or bugs, so these are just booming. They will get a final heavy defoliation on F21, and then maintenance plucking to maximize cola exposure.

Flowering day 11 at the time of photos. All these FFT's are looking amazing and healthy. The stretch is really coming along, hoping its not too much more. Think this FFT 8 is cheese. Short and bushy, getting that UK cheese smell to it. Feeding at 1800EC every 3 days or so, full soak hand water. Room is clear of pests, and aside from the odd twisted leaf, cant say I have seen any deficiencies. Thanks for looking

Some massive stretch and some really bushy growth this week with all the FFT testers. Growth is healthy, waterings are every 3 days or so by hand and with 1900 Ec feed at 5.8ph. Almost ran out of headroom for the girls, but moved things around to accommodate. Really digging the first grow, cant wait to finally taste this. Days seem like years

The fastbuds testers continue to impress. Even in soiless mix and handwatered 2 or 3 times weekly, these girls are flowering faster than the rest of the room in hempy buckets. Frost is starting on all of the plants and buds are filling up the branches. Starting to feed a bit of bloom booster with the regular feed. C02 was changed out today. All is healthy, really looking forward to harvest

These FFT's are living up to their fast finishing expectations. Far and away further developed than the rest of the room and fire bud by the looks of it. The crystal development really beefed up this week, the stickyness is just insane. High temps and humidity outside this week, so the room was working hard to maintain a nice environment. Bloom booster added last week and will continue through week 7 of flower and then a flush. These will be big yielders, and I will definitely grow again

These Fastbud fast finishers are incredible plants. Not even finished 6 weeks of flower and they are packing on some serious cola weight. So much bud to leaf ratio, and sticky as all hell. Added Beastie blooms to the flowering feed and they seem to be loving it. Heat has been a battle this week as it is the middle of july and humid. Running lights at half power and ac full

Paranoid Floyd took these photos on his android little did he know , a special twist got him quite annoyed "What is this little mutant looking nug on #8, Boyd?" "Bro, i looked it up, dont be worried, you should be joyed" "Just like you and I are twins and we bonded to the outer voids what we looking at here is a polypoid"

FastBuds testers continue to impress and bulk on the weight. All plants needed to be staked due to the weight of the buds and the height of the plants. Beautiful cultivars thus far, and really looking forward to testing the fruits. Dropped fed down to minimal and will be flushing at next watering. These things look like they will tip the scales

Coming in strong this week, these fast finishing photos are on the final stretch. Various percentages of amber coning out daily, waiting till about 30% Nutes are eliminated, running straight ph'd water and the fall colors are coming about. Looking forward to a chop very soon, and the harvest reports to follow.

FFT #8 is a true indica. Short and stocky, and i bet she packs a punch. The polyploid is rock hard. Pistils are continuing to recede and trichs show no signs of a chop any time soon. Plain water thriugh the week and here on out. Fall colors are starting to show. Thanks for looking

Rock hardness to the nugs, but at day 67, still no amber to be seen. So much for fast finishing! Doesnt matter. This flower is primo, and I mean primo. It is all mass, no squish, and sticky as molases. Looking very forward to the harvest at probably day 73 to 77

Day 74 and no amber from what I can tell. Still has some unripened pistils. Super fat and super fruity, the fade seems to be taking its time. This plant will go at least 77 days for me in flower with a great environment and a clan run the full way through. No so fast finishing photo, love this cultivar none the less. Gorgeous buds. The polyploid top cola on this baby is a beast and started throwing out nanners at day 69. Check my breeding journal to se if this thing is stabilized and if I can get an s1 to show a poly!!!!

At day F81 and still not enough amber for my liking. Will go F84 and thats it. Getting some really nice purple and blue hues, I have the humidity and temps way down to try and force the finish. Rock hard nugs and looks to be a top shelf flower

Was pleasantly surprised with this cultivar, as well as with all of the FFT lineup that I tested. Amazing looking plant with great colors and a beautiful structure. Fruity nose and rock hard nugs. I let it go to day 84 flower and I feel that it could have gone even longer. Not a spot of WPM or botrysis even though the colas are massively dense and my rh was above 60 at all stages of flower. So I would consider this strain to be more resistant to mold than others I have grown in 2020. I expect big things from the taste test and I will update a solid report once I try the smoke. Thanks for following along and thank you to Heather and the team at Fastbuds for the sick hook up!! Over 200g from a 3 gallon soilless mix, handwatered..... Ya, will grow this again
