How can you grow these plants without it??

Silica Gold is a mainstay just like CalMag, I wouldn't grow without them. TPS One is the best nute regiment I have ever used, I don't think I could grow these wonderful plants without it. Bloom has bulked and tightened up the buds on my grows, so in my book it's a keeper. Signal is the silent jewel. When you use Signal your plant will have some of the best smells from the terpenes.👍

This was definitely a tough grow with the crazy weather we have been experiencing. It was too hot for my grow tents indoors so I put them outdoors so the wind and sun could do it's magic.... nothing but high winds and rain for the most part....go figure. Anyway WZ#1 harvested last week and it is now dry and curing. I had to do a quick harvest on WZ#2 because we have some bad weather with more rain coming in and I don't want to chance it getting bud rot from the high humidity and no real sunlight. The pheno of WZ#1 was a bit strange. She never got any taller than 31 cm but she gave me 41 grams of dried bud to use. WZ#2 came in with 475 grams wet buds and they were big, sticky and dank, not too fruity like I thought it would be. Time will tell on the smoke report. Thanks Barney's for some more great strains.

This is very good Cal/Mag. If I have learned anything these plants need Cal/Mag in their diet.👍

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.👏👍

It really adds to the root growth. I'm a convinced user and will continue to use on all of my grows👍

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.

Orange Sherbet Auto
Growing it
Easy
Resistance
Strong
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.👹 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. 😎👌

Now this stuff has taken my grow to the next level. Super easy to use and won't break the bank like other nutes. This grow I used TPS One with the Silica Gold and Signal. I can't say enough good things about this company's products. It is the first time I use Silica in a grow and I can really tell the difference of how strong the stems and main stock was, the main stock on one of the plants was bigger than my thumb.👍

Second grow with this light. I added a second one for this grow so I think the extra light really enhanced the grow this time. I am getting the Bloom BP2500 for my next grow. For the cost you really can't go wrong with this brand of lights.

Purple Punch Auto
Growing it
Easy
Resistance

Barney's Purple Punch Auto is one of my most favorite strain out there. These plants are rugged and will take a lot of abuse and stress.This grow I went with 20/4 for lighting because of the cold weather we have been having and I really think the plants like that schedule the best. Using TPS One this grow took all the worry out of feeding the proper and correct nutes each feeding. TPS One from Veg through Flower and not a single problem or deficiency the entire grow. I am really blown away at how much each plant produced this time. I don't know if it's the extra light or using TPS nutes but this grow has set the bar extremely high for my next grow. After the buds dry I will update the final weight and smoke quality.

The Purple Punch couldn't be happier with this Cal/Mag. Showed no signs of any Cal/Mag deficiencies.

The Orange Sherbet plant got nute burned and then nute locked with these. I was always checking the PH and it still happened. The Purple Punch took them like a beast.

From looking at the roots after harvest I'm thinking this really helped. The 3 gallon fabric pot was totally full of roots from top to bottom.

Being a very new/rookie grower(1st grow ever), I couldn't tell the difference between all of the lights out on the market today. I can tell you I bought these on the cheap from Amazon and they have proved themselves to me by the grow that I just finished up. They worked flawlessly and didn't overheat the grow tent. Until they crap out I will be using them to the fullest.

Orange Sherbet Auto

Hard
Resistance

First off this was my first grow ever and I was amazed at the science behind cannabis growing. Fast Buds Orange Sherbet Auto was a very finicky plant from the beginning. She was almost 5 days behind in germination with the other plant I was growing and keeping her nutes and soil PH balanced was next to impossible. I got her though her life cycle and still came out with just under a ounce of buds. The buds were kind of airy but super sticky and sweet to smell. I culled out couple of small buds after drying and trimming and she was a sweet delight to smoke. Not harsh and had a very nice active buzz.
