Strain
A great grow from Fastbuds, this is a review for FFT7, the seventh in the line of photoperiod testers. This was projected as indica.
This grow predates my current amendment, so you can see different things used in soil, and liquid fertilizers. You can also see different veg. tent conditions. I just allowed these testers to grow as one main crown stalk, no training, and let them get to a medium height.
I was expecting more yield across the board, but it was clear the FFTs struggled with extreme heat conditions as I got used to the HPS. I will rectify this in future. FFT7, however, was one that did do okay in the tent. Not the top performer, but also outperformed some. The buds became dense and somewhat swollen.
I utilized my outdoor climate which is advancing into fall to finish out and frost the plant up at the end.
The final product became a reliable indica, just solid performer. Not concussive, but also not energizing - that nice groggy/daze. Trichome production was fine. Flavour was just middle of the road, average. Sort of herby, woody, typical cannabis taste and smell. It took an actual cure (surprising from me) to get some undertones that were sort of sweet and hard to nail down. There have been multiple testers with below average tastes, this not one of them, but I always mixed FFT7 in with others (other than the review). It served a better mixer or background product, or if you are trying to conserve more prized bud.
I’m still coming out positive on this strain. It did finish in the average to top group of testers for me, and if you check out some pro growers (BudXs for example) you can see some serious potential. A strong 7/10 seems fair based on others of its generation and personal tastes. If flavour isn’t bolstered then effects should be imo and it was just slightly lacking in both.
