I grew two plants of the FFT1 testers. I started them indoors in the spring during COVID19 lock down. The germination date was the week of March 25, 2020. I didn't start the grow diary at that time because I was having a really hard time coping with the COVID19 non-sense and I wasn't sure I was completely committed to properly documenting the grow. In the end, I think this grow helped me cope... ha! So I topped one FFT1 plant, and let the other grow 'native' with no interventions at all. Both were grown totally organically with no added nutrients. We moved the plants outside on May 1, 2020 into our home made greenhouse/trellis. I took a few photos but I was still not committed to documenting the grow. I wasn't even sure if the plants would grow well considering I hadn't provided them with any nutrients at all. In fact I felt like I was neglectful of the ladies LOL. It became clear to me by June that these plants were gonna take off... they were growing like mad! I realized that I really HAD to share what was going on in my back yard. Also, I had made the commitment to FastBuds, and I was sure they would want to see the plants. I started this journal as soon as they started the first signs of flowering. By the time the stretch was done Big Mama (my first FFT1 plant) was an insane monster at 10 feet fall. Little Sister (the second FFT1 plant) was a solid 7 feet tall. Big Mama had been topped and mainlined and holy cow she was HUGE with eight main colas. Little Sister had not been topped and she was less than half the size. The buds were beautiful as you can see from the photos. They weren't super fat, and they weren't super frosty, but they were like piles of spaghetti noodles with beautiful streaks of amber. There were bud sites ALL OVER. Near the end of the grow, as the buds were 99% ripe I started to see small spots of bud rot in Big Mama. That's when I pulled the trigger and started the harvest. COVID19 put a real damper on our harvest party, but we were able to call in a few friends from our 'bubble.' Big Mama's wet yield was around 2600g and Little Sister offered 1300g. I was totally astonished. I have to LOL any time I look at the numbers LOL. We trimmed all of Big Mama by hand, but lost our steam for Little Sister. Her trim was rough, and we will have to use our Trimbag to clear off some of the foilage... I adjusted my dry weight numbers to accommodate for this. We dried them in the mesh tiered dry racks for the first few days and then moved them into large paper bags. They are not quite as dry as I think they should be, and so I have adjusted my dry weight numbers to reflect this. Total dry weight for both plants is coming in at 2000g total which is around 4.5 pounds. We put a bunch in the vapes and had a whole lot of fun! The vibe is a solid hybrid offering lots of energy for chit chatting and talking shit. But it's not a racy energy... it's somehow relaxing at the same time. We watched Alone on Netflix and made out... while eating ice cream and chips LOL. I was properly stoned. Stoned as fuck. My eyes were completely red and Njaak was a squinting grinning mofo. He's saying it's his new favourite, and that's before it's cured. This bodes well! So we have put the weed back in paper bags for the cure and are excited about this one. The flavour... we are going with sweet with a bit of citrus, but I think we need a bit more time to let it cure before we could offer reliable data. I'll update more on that later.

Amazing work! Hands down the most beautiful outside garden setup I've seen, and I'm older than dirt. I need to follow your site to see the Autumn conversion. Fantastic gardening. Take Care.

Those are great plants, but they donโ€™t seem to be autoflowers, or at least not what FastBuds usually breed. I might be kidding myself but the buds kind of look like those on my Flash Seeds plants (Panama Lime and Cookies G13) which are autos. Anyway, looks like great genetics. Nice yard BTW. Cheers from Edmonton. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
Njanne
Njanne
@Northern_Ent, you are correct... they are not autoflowering plants, they are fast flowering photo period plants... :)

Very nice grow. I too did a Covid -19 grow just to entertain myself. The issues I have had is that I live in the states, the crazy people downstairs from you, and my region is not a legal grow.

Njanne
@@PirateJoe, I'm going to try a few different strains: FastBuds White Widow, Cheese and Skunk, Seedsman Northern Lights, Barney's LSD Auto. Should be fun! It's fun to grow some little plants for a touch of variety in the weed cupboard :D

@Njanne,what are your choices for autos? I grew some Sweet Tooth earlier this year. I really like it.

@@PirateJoe, come to Canada when COVID19 is over!! In the meantime happy stealth growing! I'm picking out my winter autos already...
