FFT8

Not keen on the terpene profile on these ones

Final Yeild was 193 grams of consist buds. I was not able to maximum my 500W light as it was dimmed and far from the plant most of the grow. Flush was done with PH down water and Flawless Finish for 10 days. She smells exactly like dry herb. The taste seem to be all over the place with this one. Some buds I smoke have hints of lemon and pine while other buds I get more sour and earthy. It burns a little on the dark side even at final cure. Buds are dense and consistent throughout the entire plant. Not a lot of trichomes so it may not be great for extracts. The effects seem to be hit and miss as well. Despite smoking the same size joints, I can at times have a moderate high while other times it can hit me like a wall. This is also one that can bring on the munches if your sitting around.

FFT8, the eighth of the FastBuds fast flowering photoperiod testers. I had referenced being done with the line, but I forgot about this one! Maybe a testament to it hanging out in the background and having a projected window much longer than the rest of the testers (as it was listed as mostly sativa). Fastbuds stated 9 weeks and this is what I brought it to plus one more extra finishing. Harvested as we approached the end of week 10. Historically, this grow reaches back through my modern modifications to my veg. tent, using different previous soil amendments, and just on the other side of bad pest problems. Plants were grown without any training as a main stalk, and to medium indoor height - none were allowed to become massive plants. FFT8 was the most delayed of the entire line, took some time to get cooking, and then just displayed a sativa lankiness, thinness, and stretch. It seems to dislike the extreme heat I was dealing with and the bud texture was slightly stringy with pistils everywhere. I placed FFT8 outside in the Eastern Canadian climate to finish up and get frosty, it only mildly appreciated that move and did accumulate trichomes, but I have no faith it would have grown better outdoors in that spot. Bulking was average at best, not much swell, it just kept that slender shape. Smells during growing were pretty non-notable, and it didn’t really blow me away upon dry and cure. I get a great deal of just neutral herb, maybe a touch of a few other things, but generally nothing. This one really only does well as a background mixer. Like all the Fastbuds testers, where aroma and flavour lack, the effects are really good. My brain confirms this is sativa, I almost get no body relaxation at all, and the feeling is only in my head. Not over the top concussive, but definitely gets your thoughts a bit wound up. Can’t underestimate the potency. This is a useful strain to focus on something or get creative. My rating will of course be subpar because its missing alot of elements I select for. It did not seem to thrive in harsh and changing conditions, I didn’t clone (my choice) so I’m not sure the viability, the smells are mild, and the bulking is only modest. Like all these testers, a seasoned professional can really do wonders. You check out BudXs, and you will know what I mean. But for the general population, some of these will just remain testers. I couldn’t get anything special out of this one. I have gifted to others and hopefully get schooled by them too. 6/10

A beautiful full indica cultivar with some special properties!!! Rock hard nugs, fruity smell, and some gorgeous colors in late flower. I let mine go 84 full days of 12/12 and she did not disappoint. A polyploid popped up on one of the colas, and it looks as deranged as it should be. Will provide a full smoke report in 3 weeks when fully cured. Thank you once again to the team at Fastbuds for the generous hookup.

Had no problem growing her! Was so easy, even training I pushed one of them as far as I could and the other tried different methods! Was all organic which is my now most preferred method of growing and would recommend to anyone!
