General hydroponics has been good to me these past 3 years. I wouldn't say these are the best nutes but they're solid additions to my grow (:

As an affordable alternative to commercial lights I'm very impressed with the last two grows with these lights. My old lights died so I needed to replace them fast, mars hydro was my first choice within my budget, way better than what I had before!

Orange Sherbet Review Smell Strait gas! Reminds me of NY Sour Diesel with orange zest accents. This girl has an incredible scent profile so those of you who like citrusy & gassy buds this will be a treat! Taste The strong gas like features pull through on the draw, can’t miss it! The orange, citrus tones are a pleasant finish to complement this bud. Honestly one of the best tasting strains I’ve had in a while, wish I had more :) Effects Complex, the initial hit flows over you like a gentle wave. It’s not gentle for long, after 10-15 minutes the feeling will hone into a strong cerebral experience. My head feels light and fuzzy, I’m also easily distracted which confirms the cerebral effects. It’s a good strain to use on a holiday or special occasion. When the effects are over I feel a bit tired and sluggish, though it’s a very pleasant experience overall. Ps, don’t plan anything important if you use this girl ;) Duration Peak is ~15 minutes in and effects are minimal around ~1 ½ hours (this will change per individual) Overall Satisfaction Extremely satisfied! Again I wish this wasn’t an auto so I could keep a cut of this particular pheno, which makes me value the buds I have even more. As much as I want to put 10/10 I had another pheno that wasn’t to my taste though it was still a great experience rating at 7/10 so to break even I’ll make an 8 1/2 . Though don’t be fooled, The short and super stocky pheno was a 10 no doubt, I would like to see what more selective breeding at Fast Buds will bring to the future, well done mates!

Purple Lemonade Review Looks Very purple! This is the darkest and most intense colored strain I’ve grown to date! Like seriously I wish more strains were like this. Oh and the colas and nugs were massive too, genuinely surprised me. None of my photo periods got this big (yet ^-^), great looks, very pretty. Smell Sweet and mellow, this particular pheno is less citrus/lemon and more sweet berry. As the cure progressed (over 30 days) these buds mellowed out even more and have a hint of earthy tones. I don’t mind the mellow factor, it’s nice to have a strain that doesn’t stink up the whole house when I grab a nug from the jar. Taste It Tastes like she smells for the most part. I can taste the citrus which wasn’t present in the smell, like a hidden treat at the end of the draw. Pleasant and full of terps, wish I had more. Effects Relaxing and partially heady (light sensation in the prefrontal cortex). It's not a complex high like Orange Sherbet but this is an indica dominant strain so it's not meant to be complex ya. This is a nice end of the day, chill, but functional buzz. I usually hit this girl up when I'm finishing up grow notes on Google Docs or catching up on some shows I like to watch (anime, history, science and bushcraft). I don't notice any anxiety (yet), a plus for me. This high is pleasant and relaxing, muscles seem to release and I feel slightly sedated though not enough to fall asleep. Duration Peak is ~20 minutes in and effects are minimal around ~1 hour but still pleasant for another 20 - 30 minutes (this will change per individual). Overall Satisfaction Satisfied! Though this girl is good and I enjoy her smoke, she’s not very intense and lacks the duration I seek. So I have to hit my vape every 35 minutes or so to keep the engine going. I give this pheno a 7/10, I had a “green lemonade” but that pheno was musty, earthy and overall unpleasant. Though I don’t want to lower the rating because of one bad apple. Notes Mold warning, these buds are big and dense (well the majority of FB strains I tried have large colas). I’d recommend lowering the RH to 35% or 40% max in flower, or you may develop mold. Another thing is the buds can get so heavy you need to support the branches so your plant doesn't tip over.

‖ TOC ‖ ◻️ What was it like growing this strain? ◻️ How does the high feel? ◻️ Comments ◻️ Final Thoughts ‖ WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO GROW? ‖ Since I grew two of these I noticed a difference in both phenos. One pheno (WC# 1) was shorter and more compact, and easy to feed. The other (WC# 2) was tall! Over 36 inches, easily a foot taller than all the others included. But WC# 2 was hard for me to feed, since it was a sativa dominant pheno and had one strange appetite. I couldn’t meet her needs perfectly so her yield suffered a bit. I’m honestly surprised at how these autos behaved, on a whole they’re stable and have a solid structure. Well, until the buds pack on weight and bend to the ground! Seriously top heavy producers so put up support like netting, stakes, or something to keep the canopy intact. Towards the end of the grow I noticed autos get a little, finicky with their nutes compared to photos. Not a con, just a difference in metabolism. This was fun and challenging at times, but overall a good experience for me. ‖ HIGH ‖ Wow, the first thing I can’t miss is the smell! Holy hell it’s like sour diesel without the diesel, weird thought but hear me out. It’s sweet, tropical, with hints of soft citrus notes that seem to have a slightly gassy finish on the draw. The taste is bright, and the tropical sweet notes are not just notes, they’re the fire of this strain! I’m getting blasted with terpenes left and right when used in a flower vape, incredible. The best auto I’ve had to date, period. I love it! As a huge fan of photoperiods I can’t say this tops my list of the greats I’ve had, but it wouldn’t be fair to compare to photos since these aren’t. I gave this strain an 8/10 because I am comparing my whole 13+ years of experience with cannabis. As an auto it’s a 9/10, almost a perfect 10! Whoever the breeders are at Fast Buds they’re killing it with this level of quality. I don’t like to sing praises for people but this earns an applause. I have a weakness to high functional strains that motivate, and kick you into gear for cleaning, studying, creating art, even enjoying some tea and reading. This Wedding Cheesecake is my kind of poison for day or night. No anxiety, just pure bliss :) Please make more strains like this Fast Buds, I’m in love <3 ‖ COMMENTS ‖ I wish I could keep the WC#1 as a clone, It’s been a long time since I had a strain that impressed me this much. I should thank Fast Buds for the sponsorship, I wouldn’t have had this lovely experience without them reaching out to me. On a note regarding the consistency of uploads, I’ve been really busy with school and life that the weeks have flown by. I’ll set up specific times to set aside for Grow Diaries so I can keep a consistent upload schedule. I have videos and pictures for some of the missing weeks that I’ll upload in the coming weeks when I have time. :) ‖ FINAL THOUGHTS ‖ What a great experience with this strain. Wedding Cheesecake has given me a new appreciation for automatic cannabis. Which to be honest, I was doubting that I’d ever enjoy autos. My last Experience with Growers Choice Seeds was bad, inconsistent product, mutations, and long (really long) veg times for autos. This was two years ago so who knows, maybe their product is better now but I’ll stick with Fast Buds auto genetics since they’ve proven to be worth the investment of time and energy. As a photoperiod loving guy that’s saying something :) Much love and stay safe out there! Meus

I love this stuff! Paired with Voodoo juice the pair make roots phat and dense! My only gripe with this product is that it rots so fast, I only get about 2-3 weeks of use before it goes bad... Still I love the results, best root builder out there!

I'm not sure if these nutes are what I should be using... I'm going to use Foxfarm next run to see if there is an improvement on my grows.

This stuff is fantastic! I love recharge and I will always have it as a part of any grow ❤️

Thank you for your understanding, Meus. ~ Pros ~ ◻️ High Yield (2.5oz / 72g) ◻️ Fantastic Scent ◻️ Frosty ◻️ Works with my Bio Individuality ◻️ Responds very well to curing process ◻️ Strong Effects ~ Cons ~ ◻️ Dry Eyes ◻️ Dry Mouth ◻️ Potentially Distracting ~ What was this like to grow? ~ Mostly a dream, I couldn’t have asked for a better strain, this one’s a keeper! Responded well to all the training, toppings, manifolding, a serious beast to have in my garden. The veg cycle was smooth sailing, strong branches and stems, well developed colas, incredible smelling buds, rich terpene levels, seriously the best smelling buds I’ve ever had, no joke. I thought for a while that this might be my 3rd or 2nd best but man, one of my friends here called it on this girl saying she’s going to blow up and be my best one, well would you look at that ;P I will be growing another batch of this wonderful specimen soon! ~ Effects ~ This girl’s in the Top 5 best cannabis I’ve ever had list! Wow, where do I begin? With a dose of .46g The first effects that I notice are along the lines of being more physical in nature. A gentle wave of warmth accompanied by ever so slight pressure behind the eyes and along brain stem. Around 2-5 minutes there’s a tingling sensation in the paleo cortex region focused around the hippocampus. Of course the effects memory retention so I’m forgetting small things here and there. Around 10-20 The body is experiencing some tingling and heightened sensory awareness, intensifying the cranial/physical sensations around +10x initial effects. Around +45 minutes The genes from Northern Lights kicks in with a heavy hit of relaxation that can be quite sedating depending on dose size. I can’t express how much I love this pheno, perfect for my personal use! ~ Was the quality what I expected? ~ Better! Way better than I anticipated. The moment I tried the first usable quick cured product I was speechless, I haven’t had that level of compatible chemistry in years. What a find, I feel so incredibly blessed to have this one seed shipped to me. This was a hefty plant with 2.5 ounces of cured product, best yield to date. Everything from the terpene profile and effects is spot on, what a lovey job GCS, well done mates! You’ve giving me an incredible product that’s clone stable, fast growing, huge limbs, fat buds, you guys earned my full 10/10 rating, thank you so much <3 ~ Final Thoughts ~ It’s the end of a 19 week journey, what a blast! I’ve learned new things, met new fiends here on Grow Diaries, this has been a lovely run. This is by far my best product, I have the two clones to keep this gene profile for a while, hoping a few years of stability at least. Anyways I couldn’t be any more satisfied with this product. It’s going to be hard to save this batch till the next harvest… Need to build a greenhouse now...

First was noticing early budding with quite a few leaves that had only 3 - 4 fingers, deformed and overall looked small compared to the others. I originally thought that I had a defective auto blueberry but that was not the case. And to make sure it wasn’t environmental I checked the other plants to see if there were any similar or odd symptoms. I found nothing, acknowledging this was a unique case. Clones were unstable, auto flowered after 3 weeks. Another odd thing to mention is the fact that this is supposed to be an indica dominant strain, this was a sativa dominant (Thai genetics) really thin leaves and airy buds. Though this was a unexpected event she made it to 17 weeks and a lot of plant training. If anything I learned from this experience, hopefully this doesn’t happen again soon! ~ First Impression ~ I loved the scent but the effect was lacking, quite a bit. Mind you this is what I experienced with the quick cure product. Harsh, and a weird aftertaste (only present in CBD) that is hard to explain. I will grow more cbd in the future to see if the results are consistent (unstable clones, leaf mutations, etc). I’m hoping for the best, I’m sure this was just one of those seeds that don’t make the cut genetically. ~ Cured Product ~ Still a bit underwhelming, I have to use about 3x my normal dose (.22g - .26g) to about .70g - 1.2g. I notice that my body will experience fatigue, heaviness, musculoskeletal release, and anti anxiety effects. This can’t be used as a daytime medication due to the lethargy like side effects. Works better as a blender, used a bit with Mazar for a pleasant relaxing experience. As this batch cured I noted that the harshness and and weird aftertaste was faintly noticeable, and the smell just gets better! ~ Pros ~ ◻️ Pleasant scent ◻️ Good yield ◻️ 1:1 ratio (7% thc/cbd) ◻️ Resistant to high nutrient levels ~ Cons ~ ◻️ Early flowering (without environmental stress) ◻️ Not suited for topping, fiming, manifolding techniques ◻️ Unstable clones, will flower in 3-4 weeks consistently ◻️ Deformed structure and leaves (11% of leaves had 3-4 fingers ◻️ Sativa dominant when advertised as an Indica ◻️ Small and weak compared to the other strains from GCS ◻️ Hermied (though not much just a few seeds) ~ Final thoughts ~ Well, this was a hard strain to manage but in the long run I think it turned out okay. 56g is not a bad harvest, and the product is pleasant when paired with other strains. I will grow this strain again so I can review a better specimen, I don't want to leave this strain at a low rating for long when the potential is there!

This is a review of White Widow by Growers Choice Seeds. I will discuss the difficulties and what I found to be great qualities. Before I get into this review I’d like to thank my friends who gave me encouragement, advice, and support throughout the grow, that includes those who’re new to my diary channel. Thanks for the love guys, I appreciate all that you do for me :) Disclaimer: This review is only for the specific seed(s) or strain(s) and does not comprise the breeder as a whole due to environmental factors, phenotypes, genotypes and their effects on quality, user compatibility and yield.

Growing this was a pain, seriously! As a beginner this was a huge challenge. I have two clones so I can learn how to manage this pheno better in time. Sticky buds, long lasting relaxation, and overall a wonderful smell, quite lovely. The next time I run this girl it's gonna be a single strain grow so I can use one batch of nutes, makes it easier on me :) Disclaimer: This review is only for the specific seed(s) or strain(s) and does not comprise the breeder as a whole due to environmental factors, phenotypes, genotypes and their effects on quality, user compatibility and yield.
