I grew one of these ladies for my first ever grow and was completely lost about nutes and supplements. So this time I really paid attention and WOW did these plants really show themselves to be monsters.๐น Using LST training and defoliation I had some of the biggest side branch colas I have ever seen. Couple of them were as big as my hand( and I have big hands). FastBuds Orange Sherbet Auto is a top shelf strain and the smells are out of this world. After wet trimming OS#1 I got 571 grams and OS#2 had 547 grams....My mind is blown with numbers like this from an Autoflower. Grow time was right at 73 days from popping the ground and it was a very problem free grow. I will post an update for final weight and smoke report after they dry and cure. Thank you FastBuds for great genetics and wonderful strains.
Update: Drying is complete and the final weights are: OS#1 - 110 grams of buds and 17 grams of trim. OS#2 - 99 grams of buds and 14 grams of trim. I am very happy with these numbers...almost a Quarter pound per plant. This was my best grow ever for final harvest weight. I'm still learning and maybe my next grow will be even bigger. Smoke report: I took a couple of the lower popcorn buds to try out and this FastBuds Orange Sherbet Auto does not disappoint!! Very smooth with no cure time and the citrus smells are great. ๐๐
This stuff is out of this world!! When I look at other growers diaries they are using 10-15 different nutes per grow. This one is pretty much 1 and done...I do use the Silica, Bloom and Signal and like it very much. This grow I started using Bloom and more of the Signal and the buds were the largest I have ever grown and the smell from these plants were super strong.๐๐
I like these lights so much I bought a second one for this grow. I really think the extra light really helped. So now I bought a 3rd one and made a custom bracket to hold them together. Now I have me a 3000 watt light in my 4x2 grow tent.
Using True Plant Science One, Bloom and Signal this grow was pretty much problem free (other than the 2 girls out growing my 3x3 tent). FastBuds really hit it out of the park with this strain, Orange Sherbet Auto put out the tightest and biggest buds I have ever grown. The smell off of these girls was so strong at one point I could smell them from around 50 metres away. My harvest numbers really blew me away with over 1118 grams of wet trimmed buds from 2 plants. I never thought you could get this kind of harvest numbers from Autoflowers but FastBuds really showed why they are a top notch seed company. I am a big fan of their seeds and will be doing more of them in the future ( maybe some Forbidden Runtz Auto). After the final dry and cure I will update dry weigh and smoke report. Thank you FastBuds and grow on.๐๐

My plants are at day 67 and the trichombs are almost totally cloudy(90%+/-) but the pistils haven't really darkened up or turned inward. Should I go by trichombs or pistils for harvesting?
let her grow longer, ...... you wiill be surprised how much she fattens up in 2 weeks time. cloudy trichomes are not the only sign and its way better to wait longer than cloudy
@Fast_Buds, Thanks for your great compliment. This go around I knew a little bit more than my first grow. I must say the genetics of this Orange Sherbet Auto is fantastic. I have my eyes on your Forbidden Runtz Auto for a future grow. ๐ฑ๐๐
Let the trichome frosty begin. Looking great keep up the amazing progress. I hope for strong happy and healthy grows. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!!
