This was my 1st photoperiod grow on growdiaries and I'm glad I tried these Fast flowering photoperiods for it. Big thanks to Heather and the Fastbuds team. I haven't managed to try the Tropicana Cookies auto yet so this photoperiod fast version was definitely a new adventure. She grew more squat and bushier then i was expecting and her shape really did remind me of pineapple express. To be honest she was great to grow. Because this grow was going so good I decided to switch back to photoperiods for the next few grows i just wish i had left her in veg for 1 more week.

There will be more pictures added once I try the buds and write up a smoke review but for now I'll just leave a video of the grow. Thanks to all who have viewed my diaries and a big thanks to all that posted likes and comments, it's much appreciated.

Day 21/ cookies 🍪 kush / first grow Lights 12/12/ par 950/ technaflora nutes/ ppm 1400 / Ph 6.5 / organic soil/ RH 50 %/ temp 23-27 night 18-22/ 7 gal pots Plant is back left . Power went out for a day so I kept light cycle going with flashlights lol . I like how frosty they look already. Defoliation was done on day 18 . There has been no stretch since. Plants 23 inches tall. Looks like I’ll have 4-5 good tops per plant. Also included a video of my setup!

Day 49 - Clearly she's starting to get to the end of the life-cycle. The nutrient reserves are being used up in the leaves, although I also suspect a bit of nutrient lockout as well. Today only gave PH'ed water. After taking another look at the trichomes today, I'm starting to wonder if she really is ready for harvest yet or not 😅 I guess I'll take another video in a few days and see how they look then. The pistils are curling in though now, so that's one sign that harvest is getting closer. Day 53 - Watered again today; she was a little droopy 😳 PH was about 6.05 And took another video of the trichomes...a good one this time. And what do you know...plenty of the trichomes still look clear AF, although I do notice some amber ones. Going to wait until at least next week for sure now to harvest.

6/22 Some pictures didn't upload but that's probably a good thing. As long as the video went up its good. I need to take less pictures. I'm glad I watered the plants in the back with a premixed gallon last night as we didnt get nearly the rain I thought we would. It's small showers throughout the day. The plants are getting enormous. A couple have revegged. Mostly the 10th planet. The others aren't anywhere near as impacted. Boy are some of these stalks thick. I chose to keep a couple plants that could be grown naturally without topping or fimming. I like to see the structure of the tree bit with humidity like this 98%rh it's easy to get botrytis. That's why it's good sometimes to have multiple bid sites so your proverbial eggs aren't all in one basket. But you do end up with a massive cola. I think that mk ultra with the big fan leavescis just going to be one giant bud. That's what it's looking like. Oh and today is the summer solstice. Longest day of the year.

Usamos la red de scrog

Jus a reg day at work for dem girls.....did a lil soil building(top^) with reg feed and water....clones doing well add a lil kick start to the

Buds stacking up nicely. Did some overdue trimming/defoliation to help with light and airflow. They are some thirsty girls. Looks like I've got all 3 phenotypes of this strain represented: short and bushy, thin and wispy, and Original Recipe. I'm not sure which is which. Meh. I'm optimistic regardless.

Not going to say I expected more as I did but I can also say wow they’re doing amazing and forming big ole buds! And the aromas are crazy coming from all of them! And I have NEWSSSSSS… so mystery revealed! On 2 big ones solo still forming! But bottom left is FASTBUDS purple punch and top left is FASTBUDS forbidden runtz and I’m so glad of it as I wanted them to be the fastbuds to get another finish or a better one on these and it seems I may not with the forbidden runtz but I will with the purple punch! My next run I will hold back as best as I can to do nothing but open them up and not defoliate or trim one set and visa versa on the others back to back to see the difference alongside each other! Be great too as I have more fastbuds to run and new Zamnesia to do on this so will be equal in timing! Plus I get to do some solos so will be a great grow!

Great week overall-5 Gallons PH water every 72 hours. Added Beneficial microbes and Molasses to feed them is all. Due to new trich development she remains about 50 percent cloudy. Time will tell.

Only my second grow, need to write down everything i do, light change, feed day, water day etc etc...instead of guessing and forgetting...

So, like i said the 🍋🍒🍪 all ready for ✂️, it’s been a pleasure to grow these, will deffo be growing these again, maybe just after Xmas!🤔, now to dry them and cure them with the attention they deserve… gorilla cookies looking💥 won’t be long at all untill there ready, maybe 2 weeks max.. untill next time!👊🏻

She truly might be becoming the Gorilla that was promised, huge leaves. Not as pungent or bushy as the Orange Hill beside her but she seems to get there. I'm finally seeing some exponential growth, I'm going to give them as much rest as I can coming weeks to maximize growth before flowering and to prevent (hopefully) them going hermie on me, which both Gorillas and Orange Hill Special are prone to. I have made a video to thank them for letting me use their SP-3000. What a beast of a light!! Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for letting me test this awesome light! I have made a new layer of topsoil made of organic coco-peat, which should help me prevent more fungus gnats. They already seem to hate it and are wandering around in agony trying to dig in... Good for them, freeloading beastards. Now we go to flowering coming weeks, and I can't wait... Thanks for checking in and the likes and support!

The three triple cheese plants are growing at the same rate at the exact same height... They are all from three separate seeds I grew these from seeds they are not clones... But I must know that triple cheese has a problem with cloning.? I finally got three clones to root outdoors but to be fair I did not dedicate a lot of time on getting clones.

Week 8. They got their First flush. Look at those beauties. Better pictures by the end of the week.

day 42 images are in last week, I can not count XD. bridal is stacking a lot of weight and is constantly shifting/leaning every morning, good things. I would chop any day but I will wait it out. water, tiny bit of humic and folvic to reduce chloromine, chlorine- air stones day 45 took a few nugs off on day 42, dried for 3 days. Tried bridal and blackberry. As a heavy recreational, thc is up there! bridal felt like having a blindfold over your eyes somewhat sativa uplift but heavy weight feelings. Very good. Lasted as good as 30%'s. Dr. Thunder was also very nice, nug was smaller so mixed with blackberry to have a small j. Also feels very good indica. Both trials were chopped on week 6 day 1. Very pleased with the results. I was worried bridal was more sativa; which charasteristica I am not looking for. So I believe this is a very good heavy hitter run with 4 plants. I can chop any day, but I am waiting for pink paradise to finish seeds. day45 took top nugs from bridal party, blackberry oreo bigstuff and dr. thunder. No touching pink paradise!! day 46 can chop anytime just waiting on pink paradise seeds to finish, bridal party leaning more day 47 bridal leaning hard from weight. day 48 stacking, day 48 video

Ein bisschen gefesselt und entlaubt.

This fast version is doing very great imo. She became this very bushy lady with some awesome looking and smelling buds in her. I've just noticed that she smells really really sweet ... Cannot wait to taste her. She is very close to done , I think I will have her another week at max before she gets harvested. I kept her on the plagron bloom nutrients and the Green Sensation, until the end of last week and started flushing then.
