This girl is exactly 3 weeks old at the time of writing this. So far she’s been growing extremely fast and is very healthy. Height is currently 9 1/2” and has 9 total nodes already. I started LST last week and fimmed yesterday evening and thinking about doing a topping instead to mainline since she’s exceeding expectations. I am definitely going to grow this girl again sometime.
Anyone that has grown this strain, feel free to share your experience with it or any opinions you may have on this strain / my plants

Fast Bud breed some stellar autos Growmie. I typically see pre-flower on autos around day 42 above ground with good stable genetics

Holy yield, is that with training?

Topped above the 5th node and left nodes 3 and 4 and trained. My go to is topping above the 4th and leaving the 3rd and removing all growth below. This method puts out some decent size colas.
Fast Bud Blue Dream with only the 4th and 3rd nodes growing. We call it a modified manifold

Can you do all the removal in one go? Debating trying this with my apple fritter but my first grow so iffy

Yes, once an auto has started the 5th node I’ll top above the 4th leaving a 1/4” nub that helps prevent snapping during training. Remove nodes 1 and 2 leaving nodes 3 and 4 to grow. I pin them down early with tent pins and once the branches get long enough I use soft tie wire to train the sides

Seeing yields like that gets me excited, I may reach out when the time comes just to send pics and make sure I don’t FIM lol

Keep me posted Grow Bro, my typical auto yields are anywhere from 5-12 zips. 12 zips being rare and average around 5-8

I’ve been around since the '60s this is hands down the #2 best weed I’ve ever smoked. I grew this strand three times now I’ve got three of them going as we speak.
Buds are always extremely dense and the smell is incredible. They’re very fast finishers. I’ve never had one go over 9 weeks of flower. Normally they’re done in 8 weeks.
They’re very small eaters. (At least they are for me) So far the average size has been 4 ft tall and the average yield is 6 oz of dense bud and a few ounces of trim & larf.
You’re going to love it!

If you’re going autos, FIMming seems to be better then topping based on my prior grows. I FIM every auto I have and photos I top and sometimes FIM. I never notice any stress with autos but I do when it’s topped

Appreciate the compliment Grow Bro

It’s definitely one of the best growing plants I’ve grown especially its resistance to stress. I definitely recommend trying it out

Heres an update on that same plant. I think I did great on LST. She’s been flowering for 2 weeks. Smells unique and very strong already. Plant height is 18”. Canopy height is 8”

I had an auto and topped anove the fourth node. I also removed nodes one and two and saw explosive growth. The plant never skipped a beat but I ended up finding out it was a true herm so I had to pull it. Now I’m back on my first grow but will be doing the same to this auto.
