Hey Cannafam, Well in life sometimes you have to perservere to get something you really want, this was my 3rd attempt at growing this gal, with the previous 2 runs being wrecked by the UK weather. This has been a stressful grow as i thought this one was going to end in tears also, but I Made It and im super happy 😁💜💜💜 She came down a few days ago after more bad weather, a thunderstorm yesterday and its currrently raining as i write this, although i wanted her to run a little longer, it wasnt worth the risk and she should still give a nice heavy stone and is mature enough. She was quite a task to harvest and ive gone for a wet trim, a high leaf to calyx ratio on the buds and it took just under two hours! Wet weight is 111 grams although i expect this to reduce to around a third in the drying process and i've been left with a nice large bag of trim which will be sampled in the bong shortly 😊 Those beautiful dark purples are now on the drying rack indoors under the carbon filter on maximum to contain the smell of roudy gorgeous berries and its been a few days before i could open the tent,without it taking over the house! Ive got a dehmidifier running which has been set to keep RH at 58% and shes got about another week until dry. Once complete she'll be jarred with the 62% boveda humidy packs and burped daily on a four week cure. Il update once dry and cured a bit with more pics and a smoke report. Until then thank you to anyone following and your support,likes and comments 💜💜💜 Stay safe and remember the Sun always shines in Space 😊✌️ ********** Update ********** Hey Friends, So my purple lady is now dry and has been curing for a little while, i pulled 32grams off her so just over an Oz which im really pleased with considering the issues with pests early on in the grow and the bad weather in late flower. I've also got quite a decent size jar of trim which will be slowly bonged and mixed with various hash 😁 . This strain is one of my favorites and im so glad i tried again with her outside. I feel like this strain is a bit of hidden gem in the FastBuds catalogue but i would recommend growing her too anyone as she is definitely a purple jewel 😊 Thank you to all that liked or commented, I hope you've enjoyed this diary and love to all 💜💜💜

Both plants grew very differently. The organic grew like a normal indica based plant. Decent sized main cola that was surrounded by shorter side nodes that still had some pretty sized buds. She had an overall lovely structure. Took to LST like a champ. And was 1 of my most trouble free auto grows to date. She's a beginners delight. Her bounty was 69g on harvesting. And 3g in test I took last week. She grew to 58cm. Vegged out at 25 days, and took another 50 to flower. As I kept a steady temperature throughout their entire life(s), (especially pre flower) there was no unwanted stretching in all my plants. She was very compact allowing the light to reach every part of the plant, done some light lollipoppoing during and before pre flower, not much, as there was no need. She took a lovely natural shape, and with LST. It allowed me to put all buds into the light. And she gave me some seriously lovely bud. I've no doubt when I run them again in coco I'll get a much bigger yield. But 10☆ all the way. The Synthetic. She grew totally differently, she acted as though she was topped and grew all nodes pretty much the same size. Wasn't as dense as the organic but there was a lot of the bud was pretty much the same size buds. She never really grew beyond 42cm. She picked up a pigment mutation and was a little more demanding feeding this girl on Synthetic nutrients. Whereas the organic was apply powder twice to soil and then bioenhancer feeds (every 2 weeks). But, every week she got a low ppm feed never exceeding 700ppm (the Synthetic). Learning to grow more with less nutrients.. gave no trouble really. Had no hard defs/toxs..picked up what I thought was early fade during flowering, just turned out to be wanting a little bit more P and she settled down. Again, Took to LST really well. And was no trouble. Really easier growers, both girls. ROUND UP OF BOTH PHENOS (Organic Synthetic) Both girls, may have differed in the way they grew. But, if you put both strains together, as they are, (uncured) there is no way I'd be able to tell the difference if I done a blind taste/smell test. Both girls gave roughly 115g in 75 days. They both have deep long orange pistils with very tight buds that are packed with flavours galore, and very sticky and stinky. Mainly berries (blackcurrant) at the moment has a grip on them with hints of pine with a citrus undertone. We will see if their profile changes much with a nice long cure. I should have a smoke report in before contest closes to give a true measure of these ladies. Shows how solid and steady these phenos are, as they are so closely in smell, taste and so on. Is a testament of good genes and Dutchs hard work to make all phenos more or less be similar. So, any beginner would have a very good experience growing these type of auto. Can't wait to try more from Dutch-Passion. And, you can get the same results, or near the same tasres/smells and big quality. EQUIPMENT USED. I used a 100w mainly to do these girls. I was swapping around in their early stages of life, trying to give them a higher ppfd. But, been hit with fungus gnats hampered me, by doing this. So, sadly they were only given a 100w mainly for most of their flowering life. They did get a dose of my FC 3000 from marshydro but, not enough time under it to do anything substantial. But, I'm sure it did have some impact on these. As most of my autos came out a little airy whereas these 2 phenos are nice and dense. The Synthetic was dry after 7 days. The organic took a day longer to be fully dry. Everything has been put to the cure. And smoke reports will soon follow with pictures of cured bud.

Hello again guys and welcome to day 89! The girls are taking their time but finally the trichomes are turning milky. As you can see from the videos, they still aren’t quite there yet. I really want them to reach their maximum potential instead of rushing it. I think in maybe a week or so they should be ready! Thanks for stoping by

Enjoying her progress over the last week. Lowered humidity today a tad to slightly increase vpd. Also lowered light a few inches and may do so again. Will keep it here until we progress in flowering. Expect to start LST this week. Will include plant and light height and distance details once I begin LST. Her sister, punch berry cookies, moved to flower tent. PoG will finish in veg tent, alone, as I’m shutting down for vacation in April. Video/photos taken 14 days after breaking soil.

11/25: Still just a few pistils on the Skunk, and she hasn't hit her stride just yet. Strawberry Pie is still vegging and the shorty this run, but everybody else is stretching and flowering. 11/27: Fed today. 11/28: Strawberry Pie still not flowering. Starcandy and PE have stretched another 5 inches in 2 days.

We are entering the third week of growth for our FBA 2506 strain from 42Fast Buds, and everything is progressing beautifully. We've recently transplanted the plant into a 10-liter pot, giving it more room to thrive. Even though it's an autoflowering strain, we've decided to experiment with a 12/12 light cycle—12 hours of light during the day and 12 hours at night—to see how it responds. The daytime temperature peaks at 30°C, with an average range between 27°C and 28°C, while humidity is consistently maintained at 60% to 65%. The plant has reached a height of 14-20 cm and is already showing three sets of leaves. We're preparing to start low-stress training (LST) to help guide its growth. In addition, we've begun feeding our beauty with nutrients from Xpert Nutrients, and we’re really pleased with the results so far. The plant looks strong and vibrant, and we're excited to see how it develops over the coming weeks!

March 7, 2019 Update: Cream & Cheese CBD have been fed this week with MegaCrop and Cal+Mag Pro. I'll start flushing this weekend for a week. The Cream & Cheese has the longest buds of the plants in flower. She's really very lovely. Looking forward to the first hit! 👍

EM#1: I can hardly believe that she weighed less than WW#1..she towered over her and her buds were as big..just not as dense I guess. Her main cola was a little over a foot and weighed 110g wet. I guess she just had a higher leaf-to-calyx ratio and leaves weigh a lot less... She was a desirable EM pheno..dense, stocky, sturdy branches, very resinous...just a little too leafy. Her total dry weight was 77g. Update 9/2: 11 days of curing and it's starting to really wreak when I open the jar. Very pungent..hints of ammonia in the jar and has that sweet skunky smell when incinerated. I set fire to it today and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's got that same earthy taste I remember from when it was first dry, but with "herbal" tones on the aftertaste. The buzz is a really intense head high for about 5 minutes, then levels out to a good body stone. I like it. A lot. EM#4: My tablet died and I was unable to get any photos of her being harvested. Her big bent main cola weighed 115g wet and was about a foot long if you straightened it out.. All the extra branching caused by the failed FIM and super-cropping really paid off. This plant smells AWESOME...very exotic/spicy. Smells great, tastes great, excellent buzz... she was just too tall and lanky and a pain to deal with.. Her total dry weight was 101g. Update: 8/28 - I'm determined not to smoke any more of her until next week and she's better cured....well...maybe just a little....no, not until next week...well, maybe tomorrow... Update 9/2: I smoked some more today and wasn't as thrilled with it as the first time..maybe because I had just smoked some EM#1 ;-) EM#2: She is dead and drying! Her main cola was a bit shorter than EM#1's, 11 inches, but was fatter and weighed 121g, wet. One of her other colas weighed 100g. She's very similar to EM#1 (kinda leafy), so I expect her to really lose a lot of water weight. I'm guessing she'll weigh around 85g dry...time will tell. Update 9/4: Total dry weight: 91g It's only been curing for 2 days, but had to sample it. Bam! This plant was my favorite tasting EM of the crop thus far. Same great taste as EM#4, but even more pungent. I smoked about 6 quick bong rips and got a nice uplifting head buzz for an hour that leveled off to a good mellow body buzz for another hour or so. EM#3: update 9/2: She might actually finish in about 10 days or so. Plenty of time to hit her again with cha ching, terpinator, and bud candy... update 9/10: HARVESTED! This plant took more than 4 man-hours to manicure and took three 18" drying baskets. So many buds. I will be amazed if she comes in any less than 150g of dried bud which would be amazing, but considering her space requirements and duration of bloom, probably not worth it...smell, taste, and effect could still sway my opinion.. update 9/14: Total dry weight: 224g!!! (Half-pounder!) 74g of that was lower-grade bud which I'll use to make confections and e-liquid. Took a couple bong rips..she got me stoned, but she needs to cure. Still a little green-tasting.
