X'D ro each there own, but damn. Better spray some heavy mouth spray before and after smoking. I'm disappointed, i poped 3(all separately) BD and all 3 were duds on me. I started a photo White Widow in the exact pot of coco i sprouted them in 3 different times and it came up fine. Bout the 5 pack in late 18' early 19' and the were stored the same way as all my Mephisto seeds, so not sure if i just got really unlucky or what :'( still going to try the last 2 at some point. Kinda let down though that i might not have any good beans without ordering them again.

Ah shit that’s sucks man! Normally I find if a few are duds the rest are but no harm in trying.
Maybe in transit they got hot/wet who knows.

white widow nice! Will make up for it I’m sure!

Yeah, i got them from Attitude seedbank in the UK and never had any issues. First time i got duds. Might try Seedsman next time for a different batch. Wouldn't surprise me if they were older stock since everyone has been trying to get US based banks and for autos in general, Mephisto has been big for the time i bought them. If not Seedsman, than I'll look ar a US retailer cause i do want them to try.

Yeah I love seedsman! Great freebies too and tracked package.

Here’s a solo of the sherbet. She’s looking lovely and hopefully I can keep her that way now I’ve learnt my setup.

Got some bud pics of the strawberry and blue dream today. Blue dream is super frosty! Feels like glue!

looks like the BD will be ready within the 9-11 week breeders window. Strawberry is most likely needing another 2-3 weeks as well.

Cheers guys!

Wow. I'm so jealous right now. I hope 1 of my last 2 BD will pop. See some nice thin Sativa leaves on her. She is gonna be a killer nuce3 smoke.

Fingers crossed man! Yea she deffo is a sativa leaning phenotype. Should have time for a little cure before Xmas too

So day 70 for all 3 apart from sherbet. Kind of coasting now to the end. Buds are fattening nicely and some nice colours are coming out too. Orange sherbet still has 2-3 weeks easy which is what I was expecting.

Strawberry is foxtailing a little cause of the MH light. Ok with me though - just extra bud.

Might harvest the blue dream this weekend - don’t want many ambers on my buds for this one.

Cheers guys - been a fun journey but most importantly I’ve learnt the importance of dolomite lime in my mix.

New 2 have been limed to pH 6.5 so see how they fair.

Got some nice trichome pictures today. Think I might harvest soon as don’t like too many ambers in my smoke!

First few are strawberry last couple are BD.

I didn’t read everything but tried to skim efficiently, what was the issue with the leaves? Saw you mention dolomite but didn’t read anything saying PH was the issue.

It was a pH issue in the end since my water is very soft. I added 1 heaped tables soon of Dolomite lime to 10l of my mix and it’s brought it up from ph 4.8 to 6.5.

Top dressed the old pots now they sit at 5.8

I got issues when my pH dropped lower than 5.

Decided to chop the strawberry today as needing more space soon and she was basically ready.

Smells delicious and nice dense buds.

I set myself a challenge of trying to keep the first set of leaves from seedling to harvest. I did it!!

Drying now and should be ready to jar in about a week.

Great low fuss plant that I’ll happily grow again. Just gotta wait for the best bit - smoking her.

Cheers guys!

@MATTYMATT726

Chopping the blue dream tomorrow. Keeps through out the odd white hair and is starting to lose its bud structure. Trichomes are mostly cloudy and odd amber.

Glad I let her develop a bit longer as she has some lovely purple hues on her buds.

Smells like cherry wine! Will send a smoke report to you in few weeks after dry and a little cure!

Hopefully your last beans are successful!

Well strawberry came in at 74g - not bad but would’ve faired a lot better being trained or in an airpot. Still happy with that tho as this is my nighttime smoke so don’t need as much.

What she lacks in yield makes up for smell/high! Tried some today and she is strong! Last a good 2-3hr and starts of with a nice euphoric feeling followed by creamy bodily sensations. Eventually she retires to the body but occasionally reminds you that you a very detached from reality haha.

Good smoke and I’ll probs grow again.

Wish i could taste it properly as I have a terrible cold.

Here are some final pics of the blue dream. Smells very very complex. It’s like every fruit in the world mashed up together but in perfect balance. Can almost smell any fruit u want to in it with a floral overtone.

Her buds are like rocks and there was loads to trim. Looking good for weight wise.

So much fun these plants. Albeit demanding and my wife want her husband back lol

Just read through all four pages basically in one sitting, it was fun, like a time lapse of a whole grow. Nicely done! Looking forward to the rest of the smoke reports (and final weights, if you feel like sharing).

For some sense of scale, what size is the tent? and what was the final pot sizes? I'm contemplating doing a perpetual grow, and wondering if I used a 2x4 tent and every month started a pair, could I keep six plants going in that space? I guess I'd need to sort of stunt them with smaller pots, 1 or maybe 2 gallon? If I got to where two plants were finishing about every month and each plant produced an ounce, that could work for us, if it could work in the space.

Thanks man! Ended up with 5 ozs flat of the blue dream. Very strong smoke. I’ll get some pics tomorrow but it’s insanely frosty. Tastes like a British sweet called wine gums. Good head and body stone.

Just harvested the orange and sherbet. Will get a smoke report soon but so far the orange smells the best. Full on sour oranges. Never smelt anything like it before I’d highly recommend.

The tent is a 4x4. I used 4 gal pots in the end. Soil tired out fast. Im thinking these plants would benefit from a 3rd transplant midflower. Sure, just limit their pot size and train them

Here’s a bottom sherbet bud. Basically needed no trimming haha.

Great information, thanks for sharing that.

Looks like the Fast Buds strains performed well, coming through with frosty and great smelling buds. And 5oz's from the Blue Dream, that is a very respectable harvest weight. You did a great job with that grow! Makes me want to grow indoors again...

Couldn’t resist but tried some orange today and wow. Amazing upbeat high! You definitely lose yourself in this high so doing tasks should be a breeze!

Just tastes slightly sour atm but can’t judge taste this early. Jarred up and got 118g dry. Happy with that

Thank you for the full-on grow diary. Great work and hope to one day be able to get to this level.
