Brother.
These fast Buds are done by week 10 or 11 the most. 13 weeks is way to long.
These are autos not photos.
I made that mistake my first fastbuds grow.
10 weeks from seed and done

Liking these strains very much and as a heavy consumer having such plentiful and strong at hand is a delight (after many years of having to buy crap where I live). I grew Blue Dream and Gorilla Cookie from Fastbuds in 9.5 weeks from germination to harvest. If I weren’t in a rush due to a trip I would have left the Blue Dreams another few days. In either case I’m loving the effect even before curing. The gorilla cookie is fantastic too. I’m happy with this selection and as eager to grow their other strains.

Nutrients
I messed up from the start but can’t blame the nutrients. They are otherwise easy to use and dose.
Lights
Was new to LED and happy with installation and ease of use. Distance of 42cm worked for me in flower.
Tents
Quite an experience growing these fastbud autos just after photo WWs the month before. I was expecting to be growing for another two weeks when they suddenly were ready. Impressive. The effects from my early sampling of both the Gorilla Cookie (3 plants) and Blue Dream (2) are really nice, energetic and nicely high without any sense of paranoia. I did end up on the floor listening to music last night before bed but still got the laundry done.
I totally messed up on something possibly too much nitrogen between rich soil and nutrients, the GCs really taking the worst hit. They still managed to fatten up and turn amber giving me a couple of ounces from three plants. Anyway a learning experience about growing autos and I will surely try again possibly next time with no nutrients unless deficient.
I like having grown first photos then autos consecutively but now it’d be hard to know which I want to grow next. Suggestions?
Thank you for reading!

Grow Questions
Superjdstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi experts. Use of space - new tent (4′x4′) under 450W and germinated 13 auto seeds, my lucky 13, in 11L pots. New to autos. Now looking at it, i think it’s going to get too crowded in there. I can scrog to keep some control. Should I keep all 13? Thanks, experts!
Solved
Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

I have 3 autos in my 4x4 and there's no space. You'll have a full canopy already so there's nothing to scrog really. I would just lollipop, hard. You're gonna end up with more of a sog canopy. With photos, you could've just flipped when they were all 5", but in this case they'll bloom whenever they want.
Personally, I would cut it down to 9 plants at the most. It'll save you a lot of headaches and you're still going to get the same yield in the end. Best of luck my friend!!

Great looking grow my friend! I had the exact same issue with my gorilla cookies. The leaves all turned yellow VERY early. But, I still managed to push her to the ripening stage although I was very nervous with next to no fan leaves left. Still, the buds ended up green and smelled fanfuckingtastic!

@ChuckShady,same for me in the end. I think it’s about fertilizing too early. They don’t really need anything in early weeks. Glad you got great results too!!

hmmm you are doing ph water between feeds? i've been feeding every time which is every other day. I had amazing sucess with this last grow but its interesting to see you are doing it only once a week!

@MrHightimes,thanks. I really question whether nutrients are needed in the first three weeks. The soil is already hot. But yours are doing more than fine!

Nice Journal! Having just got through a similar grow that yellowed early and stressed me out only to come out ok was fun to read! Was also fun to see your grow b/c I have GCs growing now!!!! I did a 1gal grow and while it was a nice yeild seeing how much more i got off 2 gals, I'm now trying 3gal! Will you be growing in bigger pots next?

@MrHightimes,thanks a ton. Just saw your grow and it’s looking great. I get the impression that 3 gals is ideal. I’m trying some photosensitive Blue Dream now in a 5 gallon with some more autoflower seeds on the way from Fastbuds.

@Fast_Buds, so far so good! Looking pretty damn big for 3 weeks! Curious to know when they’ll kick into flower, guessing another week from reading online.

Great start👍
I use solo cups as well , but I use two, cut the bottom off one cup
and make a cut from top to bottom of the same cup, then put the cup with the slice and no bottom into
a untouched cup and fill with soil. When the time comes to transplant, remove outer cup, place inner cup in the hole of your bigger container
and remove, the plant doesn't even know it was transplanted.
Hope this helps👊
Grow Big!!
