Strain
This is a review for the tenth of the fast flowering photoperiod testers from Fastbuds, FFT10 - an indica.
Reaching back to the early weeks, FFT10 spent time in multiple tents including my most recently made veg. tent so the lighting conditions changed. I also was still working with previous soil amendment strategies. This is the last of the testers in this batch, and the last of the first numbered run through the eleven strains (this does not mean I don’t have clones or more seeds, I’ve just grown all eleven for better or worse on GD, and some clones and seeds not on GrowDiaries).
FFT10 was consistently one of the stronger of its batch, roots were always fine. I grew the plant as one main crown, no training, and to medium height. It especially came on hard in mid flower when I recognized it has the dark horse of the bunch. It bulked and swelled, and got rock hard dense. This was the best density I’ve seen in the eleven.
I brought FFT10 outside for the last couple weeks in the East Coast Canadian climate and allowed it to really frost up. FFT10 had the best progress moving to outdoors where the humidity varies but it was much colder then the HPS tent. Lots of extra trichome development, and this was evident on the final product.
Harvest was no issue at all and it was a pleasure to trim based on the bud size and structure. The smells, taste, and flavours came out as herbal, deep green, just mid range strong smelling. There is a nice snap to the flavour upon inhale, almost fuel like, but overall FFT10 was just general dank. Nothing specific in terms of taste or smell characteristic. I’ll be clear I really enjoyed it, its just not easily distinguishable as the buttons below. I gave some away as gift and also greedily consumed so I wish I could have given a few month cure, but oh well.
The effects are indica, just nice and relaxing. Mid range potency, it still gives you the ability to focus, but feeling very good. There could be more desired here but that would be nitpicking.
Solid 9/10 for FFT10, the grow experience was easy without any negatives. The strain out performed others in a variety of conditions including extreme heat from HPS. It also responded well to outdoor colder temperatures. I did not attempt to clone and this would be an unknown still. The fragrances could be more notable though they were not negative at all, and the trichome and bud density are bigtime positives.
