trip report : yes . doesnt let me put the right week number in... but it's 130 lmfao.

BioFlores was kinda lifesaver when i need a flower ratio quick acting bio nutrient. Too bad it's in liquid form !

always enjoy my time with biotabs, mix it all together, then plain water all the way, used some extra boom boom spray crossing veg to flower , worked great !

kinda lifesaving to have some liquids on hand but i'd prefer a dry option

Biotabs always a good option if you can afford it , great thing is you hardly have to do a thing

why do ship bottles of water in trucks, think of the baby penguins you might harm every time you water !

Thank you to the mighty Kees for helping me along the way, much respect to you and the team ! follow @biotabs_f69 for more!

These candy canes I swear to god lol great work on the Test Seed Bank, these i can tell are gonna be loved by anyone who likes to taste smoke that taste like you're smoking weed grown in a cinema candy shop next to a lemon tree lol anyway it's got what i was looking for in the pheno hunt which is quick veg, large yields potent harvests. Came down at 11 weeks and a day , 2kg wet, vegged for four weeks, grew spectacularly thanks to careful vpd attentions and the smart protein clearly. A bit quicker than expected on the flowering, but surprisingly i guess the soil was well balanced because it's my smoothest smoke out of this run. Great work on the drying and curing so far, looking fantasting with that white weed look , slight hints of orange goodness and blues on the bag appeal makes this one my favorite to finger on the DL. Beyong that it's my first photo, but goddam it's potent, knocks me right out after two jays one and it's kinda like uhhhmmm what's going on, not exactly a "i have work today" kinda weed, maybe a "i forgot i had to go to sleep kinda weed" if that makes any sense? hit me up if you have any question, i'm on instagram too, if you like rap music and funsies. Thank you to REDACTED for all the good laughs along the way, idk if you noticed but things fall apart when they're not here ! God bless ! and keep and eye out for the extract diary coming up ! 🚀

Chem OG was a really typical full indica plant from the start. Sprouted strong came out real quick got its smart proteins at the start and grew pretty darn quick. Only got three weeks of veg in, took training really well, then started smelling really citussy like indicas do with that depth of smell idk if that makes sense. Put out it's flower in the christmas tress way plenty of side shoots even though i didnt do much training. Smelled like lemons and gasoline at some point. Harvest came much quicker than i thought bottom of week 11 incredible effort by the Chem OG, harvested at 30%. Smoke is really potent but a bit harsh, if i had known to expect 11 weeks of growing i would have started my flush sooner or moved to additives but hey, it's there but nothing a bit more curing wont get rid of, plus there's the extract to look forward to : look out for those diaries my friends, it's gonna be fun getting some tubes out. Bag appeal is meh, should have probably protected it a bit better during the drying but what to do, nice and dark, browns really prominent, no one's gonna ever have to decide if they buy some or not so it's fine. Taste is really out there though, indica indica indica citrus woody flavors (which i've grown to like since the six shooter ) and thich potent smoke. Nugs are crazy dense , i actually wish someone would touch it but i never share my weed lol maybe someone will puff one out one day in the grinder and i'll update with their reaction. What can i say check the stats you tell me how dense it came out ! 🚀

C99 came out pretty darn good despite the difficulties what I could keep had two phenos in it, one really tropical-fruity and citussy, one was really woody and lemony. The plant itself was grown with three weeks' veg, the seedling sprouted really quick, i had one seed with two seedlings in it, separated them at birth grew them both out, one was kinda runted though then it died like a couple weeks before the chop which came in record time. The flowing produced wide stocky plants that made landracey/sativa flowers but we indica in smell and taste. Those trademarked elongated sugar leafs made the plants a sight to behold growing it. The smell(s) came quickly starting in veg almost. I experimented with inducing resin production by lowering the lights last few days of veg then raising and lowering them again 3/4 weeks before the chop. This make these chunky nugs , with loads of resin, bag appeal is decent with the contrasting greens and pistils. Came down at 30% amber the high is really stick you to the waves of the universe, chuned in so to speak. I'll be making a solvent extraction diary soon with some of the cured stuff that's been left

I'm actually impressed with vertafort my vertafort plant showed no deficiency, next time I'll use a few flower booster maybe one during veg, one during stretch maybe two, and a final one a few weeks before the end. Great line up! 🚀

I got the BIOTABS lineup through a prize in a Grow Diaries contest, Came in this great box, very well wrapped, discreet shipping, with cool freebies, the best papes, some funny postcards and stickers, pins, etc etc. The instruction manual is super easy to follow which didnt stop me of course from messing up, putting three tabs on top of each other instead of side by side but no matter. It was a great experience using these, basically all the work is in the beginning you amend the soil , place the tabs, water with activators and beneficials then it's smooth sailing from there. Next time I'll add boom boom spray to every few waterings as well as add bactrex more regularly. I added the PK booster tea, maybe a tiny bit late, if I had done it sooner i could have fit two maybe three feeds, but beyond that I didnt actually feed, only just the once. I'm using these again, for SURE ! 🚀

I actually really like biotabs, happy with their line up and their new weekly liquid PK will be a great add to my next grow. I did use extra micro not listed here, but hopefully you know to use micro in every grow . 🚀

Vertafort actually surprised me , was very stable and did its job, I didnt use any of the boosters that came with it though, oh well ! 🚀 for sure I would use it again, but the thing is you need two full packs per pot and when you have 9 pots that 18 packs,

I actually do love Biotabs, thing is you read grow weed easy site and they say dont use slow release nutrients, but this isnt just that it's a full line up ! every piece of this line up makes sense to me, and i'll definitely be using these again. Great thing to front load your effort, then never think about it again, add PK when the buds are the size of your thumb (thanks to my pal kees for the tip!) , that's pretty much it ! I complemented these with my own micro of course... anyway, give it a spin, well worth a shot ! 🚀

This plant loved the BioTabs Lineup , grew a FAT stem, full green throughout the grow, I added a 1/4 dose of micro most of her life. I really like the logic of the biotabs line-up, not a big fan of the pace though for an auto : this one didn't even get her PK ! I heard from @gardenofautos that BIOTABS is releasing a liquid PK that you feed every week. That one will be a winner on this line up ! I followed the instructions best I could what's written on the label, most of the work is front loaded, so you're basically amending soil with mycos and bactrex, then adding the tabs, watering with orgatrex which is NK 4-6 (or something?) , didnt really like the clumpy boom boom spray but I do like the amino acids thing !

I used the biotabs as a supplement to the mr.B's in the final stages of the amendment process, these played a minor role, but were used at the start of the grow, i liked the idea of bactrex, and i now understand orgatrex is an organic NK 4-4 fertiliser. The boom boom spray came clumpy, i didnt realise that i had to shake it , and i quickly switched to my own amino acid concentrate.

The SixShooter from fastbuds reminds me of smoking something called "Kali" because it's got this sacred/mystical vibe to it. The smoke itself is smooth smells like incense when it burns, very woody taste. I got lucky and got three different phenos on the taste. The Mr. B's is woody with an earthy aftertaste. The Vertafort is woody with coffee and sometimes fruity aftertaste. And the biotabs one is woody leaning towards the incense side of things which is delightful. Snow white weightless ash means it's a smooth smooth smoke, heady and very relaxing, not exactly suitable for the day time. Took 3 weeks to cure properly. Maybe for one of those stay at home days idk. Helps you zone into creative tasks without distraction, causes me insomnia sometimes, mad munchies aswell. These took 95 days from the moment I drop then into their glass of water. Seeds sprouted strong germinated 5 kept 3 gave 2 seedlings away in their GROWCAPS pots so let's see, maybe i'll get feedback on those i'll throw a diary up. These indica plants grew vigorously, being kept at acceptable VPDs most of their lives, had those trademark thick leaves. They took very well to LST, Branching out like crazy, branches for days ! Reminded me of the gorilla glue styles then the flowers started coming. I like these flowers better compared to the gorilla glue, less branching at the flower level, means thicker flowers, less larf, and less headache on the trim. These started buffing up fiersely continued stretching for almost 5 week starting at week 2 of flower. they pushed out these elongated sugar leaves, i'm guessing that's gonna be this strain's trademark, along with that distinctive taste and smell. Didn't smell all that loud, but I have a 1300M3/H exhaust so... i'm not surprised. I will say though that my neihbour said she could smell weed even when I wasnt home and she could smell weed in the corridor, from the times I was trimming and basically every time I open my jar. Gonna need a new carbon filter for the next grow. I retired my lightbulb too. What I like about the six shooter is that when you roll a pure fatty it burns down real nice and because its got that specific taste you really feel like you're smoking these fat grower cigars. Hard to put my finger on the taste because the smoke is so smooth, and when i saw GD had a tag for Woody, i knew right away this was that taste i felt. I will say this though, cure this correctly, dont rush, dry it real slow, then cure it, the "pine" , citrussy tastes, usually those will evaporate, leaving this distinguished terpene heavy hitter much better tasting. The trim was a great experience, At first the sugar leafs cover the buds, because i hang my plants whole, so i was like omg it doesnt even look that good, but as you're clipping the sugar leafs you reveal the trichome laden and resinous buds, you can really tell on the flash on flash off pictures. So what can i tell you, this weed is white weed, so frosty. Bag appeal is great too, this strain pushes out pistills like no other, maybe even more than the gorilla glue. that means this is a chill weed right? anyway bag appeal is 10/10 smells like perfume and vanilla in the jar, incense in the grinder, and has that trademark woody smoke. HEAVY! From what I can tell this strain is always a yielder, so I'll be growing it again ! Take a look a the diary, let me know what you think🚀 I fed these plants NPK only once a few weeks before the end. Without all my mistakes in the same size 5 gal pot you can probably fit 6 plants LST'ed in a 4x4 comfortably, and with more even lighting and defoliation pull 750 grams easily. Low maintenance , heavy yielding plant what's not to like? I got some better pictures in, hopefully you can see how the THC is dusted all over these nuggs 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀

FBT1 is a great strain to grow mainly because it's so strong ! Smells like kush in the jar and lemons in the grinder. Strong kush smoke thick smooth, woody on the inhale and fruity on the exhale kinda. sometimes you get a taste of lemon, sometimes a hint of mint . grew like an auto, had this one in the corner but i can tell it likes plenty of light and plenty of micro. High is a mix of heady buzz and body high, perfect for focussing on something, or more likely completely forgetting what you actually had to do. It's an upper kind of weed, but i'd be lying if I said i didnt pass out smoking it. Got chopped at 95 days since I put the seed into a glass of water. REALLY low maintenance, placed this one in a 5 gallon pot, rich soil amended with my micro, sprayed it as it was young and it fed it only one time with a booster. grew in a pine tree shape, a few more flower nodes than your typical GSC, then made these awesome flowers like chunky and dense and sticky. Started flowering week 4, you can probably save a few weeks in coco and giving it more light. It didnt mind the co2 and it didnt need any special nutrients. This one's for the novice and the experienced alike, probably going to be one loved as one of the best kushy strains in the auto genetic. Looks great , covered in trichomes, rippened nicely, evenly, side colas are nice, main cola is nuts lol. puffs up real nice in the grinder, very few sugar leafs, nice open flowers , great bud to plant ratio. bag appeal is nice too, after the cure the sugar leafs i did leave on took on that signature blue tint and the frost is incredible. Absolutely fantastic, definitely one of my favorite FastBuds so far ! 🚀

Harvested at 95 days that's 13 weeks and 4 days ! These cookies are super tasty ! Grew great from seed, sprouted up within a few hours. Grew out nicely, sprouted strong, got to nice little seedlings, and before long the plant was making fat indica leaves and growing out into a plant. basically it does take well to LST, it did like the extra CO2 but it's low maintenance in the sense it doesnt take many nutrients to get to that sweet sport for growth. takes a bit more micro that your usual. Grew out 13 weeks, but it can go longer depends how you like it. This plant hits flower then stretches , likes extra micro and sulfur, PK is a must too ! Anyway starts pushing out these "cookie strain-like" flowers, nice and dense, great calyx to leaf ratio, then the trichs start reaching out and rippen as expected, curl in nicely and cloud it up. one thing i did notice is the trichs when they turn amber turn a real light amber so keep an eye out for some beige-ey trichs ! came down in 13 weeks, dried nicely got some nice bud, loads of pistils, dried for a long time then jarred and cured. Loads of trichs that just dust off the buds now, it's frosty a lot lol . As it cured the berry aftertaste came to the foreground. I got pretty lucky three seeds three phenos in terms of taste ! The Biotabs one is fuly berries, smells like berries in the jar, in the grinder and in the smoke. a bit creamy on the inhale, full on almost synthetic tasting red berries on the exhale, but it's got this caramel taste on top of that, simply amazing. The Mr. B's one is more creamy all around, and nice smooth smoke, berry aftertaste. The vertafort one is baked goods smoke then a very interesting blueberry yoghurt aftertaste. smels like rotten blueberry bagels in the jar and fresh berries in the grinder. Leaves a real nice taste in the mouth after the smoke. Just berries, but when you taste it you kind of smile because the taste is so nice lol . Anyway the high is relaxing, real uplifting too, like you get a silly grin on your face for a couple hours. The high's a bit psychedelic , more than the usual lol, like wierd things will happen to me when I smoke this, like I'll bump into a neihbour and they'll open up to me or this other time this delivery dude had to drop something off, and he ended up staying over and enjoying himself at my place from like 6pm to 1.30am ... i remember that night lol, i eventually offered him a smoke and he took a drag and his expression just changed like he had never tasted weed that tastes so nice in his life lol That was after only 2 weeks of cure ! Anyway smoke so smooth, tastes great, strong, one joint will set me up nicely, two and i'm in the zone, three and i'm taking a nap lol . This one's a yielder too ! much bigger than the GSC it grows more like a blueberry, that means bigger colas, more flower nodes yet that gorgeous GSC flower structure. bag appeal is decent,the biotabs one is more calyxy than the rest the mr.B's one has madness amounts of pistils compared to the others. the frost level makes the weed look lighter colored than it is, loads of pistills, crunches up nicely but it's still sticky then it puffs out nicely in the grinder, snow white ash, smooth smoke. It's kind of a tough thing being a GSC cross because you're always gonna be compared to the GSC, which is such an iconic genetic. The Auto Colorado Cookies are nothing like the GSCs and maybe that's alright because they taste amazing in their own right and they've inherited that potency too. High is elated , visual af, and relaxing. Lasts about 2 hours for me then it's nap time. The way these are, if you like weed that tastes amazing at the rec-shop potency level then this is for you, easily rivals GSC-crosses i've had from dispensaries in terms of taste and potency. It's a good weed to zone out on a great weed to pass out with. A hat tip to Dutch Passion for these, I'll be growing their line up for sure !
