Absolutely loved growing this strain. I grew two plants, both had a beautiful structure and grew well, although one started out as a bit of a mutant, it grew out of it by the second or third node and was fine after. Amazing plant, one of all-time favourites.

A good strain to grow, very easy and incredibly quick. I harvested on 9 weeks. The smell is very strong so maybe not the ideal plant for a stealth grow, but otherwise nothing bad about this at all. Plant gave me no issues throughout the grow and looked healthy all the way.

I'm going to be a bit harsh on this rating, I really liked this plant, everything grew well, had a good to great yield and the plant took to training well, but at the same time suffered from Budrot late in flower and this is the only time I've ever seen that happen. I also had a seed not germinate, which is another rarity. It was definitely good enough to grow again though, but I wonder how strong the genetics are for this one. I'll give it another chance in the future because the yield and terps seem worth it, but I'm on the fence with this one a little for now. The early smoke was really nice, a reasonably heavy hitting relaxing, body stone with a nice happy vibe to it. Probably something I'll keep for nighttime to help me sleep.

Solved my smell problem from Plant Magic Oldtimer, so I liked it for that alone.

I didn't rate this. There was nothing wrong with it per se, I just thought it made my soil smell like mouldy socks after a while, so I changed to Bio-Bizz and the smell went away.

Can't complain about Maxicrop Seaweed. I moved on to more specialist nutes as the grow progressed, but this seemed to do a decent job early on.

Really great plant to grow, quite easy and doesn't really require any special care. The smell is pretty out there, when I touched the buds the scent was a clear orange, sort of like Vitamin C tablets. My yield was not great but I had to move my grow in the middle of flower and set it all back up again in new conditions, so I think that probably was not ideal at all. Will look forward to growing this again under better circumstances soon.

The best and easiest FastBuds strain i've ever grown. From start to finish this plant gave me zero troubles. Hands down the best strain for a beginner. Grows well, trains well, great nugs that frost up nicely. The only downside it has for some people is it does have quite an obviously weed skunk smell to it, which might not suit everyones grow. Other wise though, if you have a filter or don't care about smell, this is amazing and well worth a crack.

Purple Punch Auto

Nice, easy plant to grow with some beautiful coloration. Didn't require too much in the way of careful feeding etc. Mine did stunt a little, in future I would train her a little lighter and a little later in life than I did, which might help. Mine grew very short but the final yield was not terrible for the size. Smoke is good, very relaxing with a sour fruit flavour and scent. Good nighttime body stone for me, though I'm quite a casual smoker, so some might find it a little milder and easier to smoke in the day. Will definitely grow again.

I've never used any calmag before, my water is quite hard so haven't really needed it, but I had to buy this for this strain. I liked it, it has a relatively low amount on N, so it doesn't mess with my other nutrients too much.

Growing: Excellent strain to grow, very easy. You definitely have to go VERY easy on the nutrients for the first 6 weeks or so and she's prone to clawing at the first sign of any nutrient with Nitrogen in it, but after that, flips completely in mid-flower and becomes quite hungry. Trains well and grows with a solid, strong main stem with all the branches turning into bud from top to bottom. Smoking: Nice strain with a strong, complex flavour in a vape. Quite heavy hitting but very relaxing, sucking away tension real fast. This is a good strain for anxiety and stress imo. Will be saved for a pre-bed time smoke for me as it's a little hard hitting for a day smoke, but YMMV as I'm quite a light, casual smoker.

This is fine, I don't use a ton of calmag because I have hard water, but this is always good in a pinch when I have a hungry plant. Useful that the N is so low.

Generally I like BioBizz products, they're easy to use, keep things simple and are both Organic and Vegan which I see as a nice plus.

I like these nutrients, easy to use and reasonable cost. Alg-A-Mic was new in this grow, it did seem to help with my heat stress issues, but I'll be testing it a lot more in my next grows.

I like this strain, it's easy to grow, pays off nicely and smells like an absolute beast. I hot some great colours come out at the end, most likely from the pink panama parents and the bud is all hard as rocks and makes for a great night time smoke. I'd recommend training all day long as it can take anything just fine and it definitely pays off in yield.

Nice easy plant to grow, but very hungry so I'd recommend you go into the grow knowing what nutrients you want to use from the start and with a solid feeding plan so you don't get caught out. She is also a VERY smelly plant, the stinkiest I've ever grown from about week 7 onwards, so maybe that's something to beware of too. Otherwise all good in terms of growing, took to LST well, no problems. Early smoke feels like this would make a good night time smoke or one for pain relief. Very relaxing.

Very hungry plant, I found it quite troublesome to grow and it went pretty south about 2 weeks into flower. Still wound up yielding OK and the bud was good, with a lovely cream scent. Don't think I'd bother growing again, however. I would recommend training 100% as she grows really tall.

Lemon Pie Auto
Growing it
Easy
Resistance

I really liked growing this strain, the smell after they flowered was amazing. Both plants that I grew were really easy, really sticky, though the yield was not brilliant. GROW: I had no problems throughout, both plants stayed lush green, no deficiencies, pests or diseases. They stretched briefly between the 3rd and 4th week as they transitioned into flower, but stayed stocky and fairly short overall. Everything about them was fast, from flowering in week 3 to harvest in week 8. Definitely something I'd recommend to a beginner, but I would suggest getting good grow/bloom nutrients as it seems quite hungry. BUDS: Lemon Pie is a great smelling strain, like sweet lemons soaked in gasoline and black pepper. The yield was nothing groundbreaking, but the buds are really nice. One plant was denser than the other, and some of the buds are a little small, borderline popcorn when they dried. The main colas were quite stacked and where the vast majority of the weight came from in both plants (about 70% of my final weight in both cases). I would like to grow them again, just for the scent alone. I could see myself keeping a pack of these seeds around just to toss one in a pot when I have a spare space in my grow. Overall 9/10 just for the buds, despite the below average yield. Quality over quantity for this strain in my opinion.

This was a ridiculously easy plant to grow. I actually discarded the seed after I thought it hadn't germinated. It then somehow re-planted itself in the surface of the soil and grew like an absolute beauty. Really nice yield at the end with a monster of a main cola.

Plant grew well, a little too well for my space and stretched way up into the light. Buds turned out quite airy but since this was my first grow ever, pretty sure it was grower error rather than the strain. When you consider all the things I messed up along the way, this strain was really quite forgiving.
