The smoke itself is a little tricky - I'm a joint smoker and if i hit it slowly, its more the tropical line, with some definite pineapple-chunks. However, if I hit it hard there is a super fresh floral taste with some hints of mint and pineapple in the aftertaste. The high is absolutely amazing, its a hard hitter... And if I say hard hitter I'm not talking about the Anthony Joshua type of hard hitter but more the Mike Tyson, if you know what I mean! Super "accurate" and cerebral high that smashes you from the back of your head and makes your eyes and brain bubbly if you smoke too much. Even though I had a pure sativa-dominant phenotype, the turn of the plant will end up throwing you onto the couch. Even videogames can become a hard thing to do and you might just want to watch some cartoons or less complex shows or just vegetate and smell yourself.

I have to admit that I haven't used any other LED yet, however, I made a lot of research after my first grow because of heat issues. I then decided to go for a company that is well known for their quality. Furthermore, I didn't want to use and low budget stuff cause if we grow.. we grow. We want to achieve quality. While doing my research I found some professional Canadian companies that grow medicinal cannabis in big juicy halls with a couple thousand of.. Guess it- Sanlights :-) I recommend Sanlight for anyone who wants to have quality and is willing to spend some bucks.

My 2nd growtent that I had to buy because my other one, well.. lets say it "faded". Overall very nice quality and worth it's money, worth a recommendation! Because of the white coating its super efficient with LED's.

This was my first multi-strain grow in my new appartment. I am living in a country where Cannabis is still prohibited for recreational use and even medicinal users have to go through major repressions before they may obtain their medical license. This is the main reason why I will not be doing frequent updates on my future grows. However, I decided to give you guys the harvest results and I am always willing to connect with people- especially if you are looking for a fresh assistant cultivator and will help me moving to your country ;-) (Have seriously been in contact with Canadian authorities but it is super hard to migrate if you openly try to get into the legal cannabis business. You will most likely only be able to move if you are a doctor, engineer, craftsman or teacher). Now to the grow- Since my 2nd grow that has been approximately 3 1/2 years ago I couldn't resist Fastbuds. I am the type of guy to do a lot of research on the internet before I decide for a strain or a product. Back then, my research ended up with Gorilla Glue Auto which was by far the best weed I've seen. And this after traveling to Amsterdam for more than 10 years and never having smoked or grown an auto before. The resulsts were so impressive that my friends kept asking me for months, if and when the Gorilla will show up again! What was grown? West Coast OG Kush - 111.9g / Girl Scout Cookies - 88.8g / Stardawg 81.7g / Pineapple Express 211g / Gelato 17.8g (single cup) / Red Poison (Sweet Seeds) 11.8g (single cup) - dried weight in total: 523g with 430 watts of Sanlights Q6W 1st gen (2x) in my 1.44 m² tent with a white coating. Relative Numbers: 1,22 g/W/plant - 363,19 g/m² - 298,61 W/m² Chopping Days on Stardawg: day 77 / WC OG + GSC + Stardawg + Gelato + Red Poison: day 88 / Pineapple Express: day 123. Nutrients by "mills" (full set) and flush of 2 weeks (the Stardawg only got flushed for one week due to being too mature already but appeard to be the cleanest and most mellow smoke in the end). The Pineapple Express was so intimidating for an auto, that I first believed it was a photoperiod plant that just reacted well to LST. In fact, the plant was in Veg for 8 Weeks and was done flushing and chopped on day 123! Thats week 17.5. The appearance of the plant was just scary, it was super heavy and the stems starting falling down due to the massive weight of the many main colas that evolved. While I was unhappy at first, thinking this might be a weak genetic, the plant just needed its time to fully develop. The smell of the plant was absolutely stunning while still alive and seriously .. It just smelled like a super mature, juicy, sugary Pineapple with some exotic/tropical hints that went into the papaya-direction. However, after the drying and curing for a little longer than 2 months now, the terpene profile changed. The plant smells moreoverly creamy and floral with some sweet tropical hints and a light pineapple aftersmell. I hope to get some feedback and see, if the "harvest diaries" are appreciated here. If people like it, I will do more harvest results in the future. I apologize for not having more pics/information about the other plants but after a little incident I had to delete all my footage from 2 of my storage media and these few pictures are all I have left. I basically lost each single picture and video of the past 4 years, which is kinda depressing. But safety first, if your country is still ruled by right-wing people that want to retain their 1930'ish mindsets. Germany.. 💩 Currently growing Wedding Cheesecake, Orange Sherbet, Gelato, Zkittlez and Blackberry - all by Fastbuds. I felt in love with these guys! There should've been another Gorilla Glue auto, but I had very bad luck on the germination and lost 4 seeds in a row in the same environment that the other ladies loved. Don't be depressed though its always possible to get a bad pack with less matured seeds, happened to me several times with other companies and only once with fastbuds.

@triphazard, glad you like them mate! the plant is one of the most individual in terms of everything i've ever grown, so far. the terpene profile currently changed to a danky, musky hash taste with slight pineapple aftertaste (still the pineapple/fruit smell tho). really amazing plant. can only recommend it, needs a good amount of patience tho!

@Dunk_Junk, thanks bro!! Glad you like it :-) Sorry, yeah didn't mention it. Was 20/4 cycle but i go back to 18/6 because i didn't see any significant changes and rather save a few bucks. My current run will be only a harvest + smoke report aswell, but planning to start a full diary on the run after!
