Grow them with no expectations.....then you won't be disappointed with outcome.

It's SATAN power like making mez throw up!
Normal green to WHITE wood colored DEAD plant's, 7 month's ago! Weed ain't krispy from dispensaries too NOW for no reason!

As #1Cheesebuds said..." The buzz from the fast buds CA was ok but nuttin special. And the yield was Tiny.

That sums up what many experienced here.

Will say it again, grow FB with no expectations.....no disappointment.

I'll throw this into the discussion. I too grew fastbuds: glue and green crack. Next grow I switched breeders because of poor yield and plants were nothing like the strain they claimed to be. I now am not disappointed in my previous auto grows after seeing these fast bud results. I too, increased pot size from 2 gallon to 3.5 gal airpots to increase yield on autos. They did not bump up the yield much. I'd suggest looking at other auto breeders at this point.

Indeed! It's a learning curve. FB spends a lot on info-ads, but doesn't mean they are worthy. To each their own.

A good friend had a nice yield 4 years ago with FB autos;
90 grs average per plant in a greenhouse.
But like others people here, I didn t have good results. So good luck!

The American Fast Buds Company is a feminized and autoflowering cannabis seedbank created by American breeders established in Spain since 2010.

No pics.

I would have known them as I grew out most autos on the scene 10 yrs ago. There was a Fast Bud strain by Sweet Seeds we grew out about 8 yrs ago.

More like 3-4 yrs., at least to hit IC Mag - that's when they came on scene here trying to be a vendor with Skip introducing them. They vanished (Fast Duds) after member complaints/criticism using Original Glue (branding, not authentic) or GSC with "R" rated ad and inaccurate info on strains/height/yield.

Grew out seed testers 2 years ago, and just ok, nothing to write home about. So.... quite doubtful 10 years, but whatever. Interesting no one can show seedling to harvest FB except farmer Brett (from Tx) someone (not FarmerLion), Cheesebuds and Little MT. Thanks guys.

Those that "Elvis" showed us....nope. Don't believe the harvest nor plant he tried to show us.

Whatever you grow, grow them well!

Update. March 9th is 10 weeks from sprout to full flower. Im not sure how much longer now till harvest. Probably soon though. I still have around 16+ FB seeds to grow. I plan on growing them anyway because they were free and the short flowering time. This lady has a strong smell and is good and frosty.

The way I see it see it, each auto grow can only get better. I've learned a lot about autos like what they like and don't like.

I dont know if i should harvest yet.
Do most of ya count the mount of the weeks of flowering from start of sprout or do ya count from the start of first hairs comming out?

I recounted from day 1 of flower and got to 9 weeks flower tomorrow. I needa get a macroscope to look at the trich.

Jeweler's loupe is nice/handy. Seedling to harvest what most breeders say....count when it emerges from soil. Generally 6-8 weeks from first pistil showing, so majority of breeders have skewed timing.

Are these small plants?

I like to see some amber, It generally will show first on the sugar leaves if it ambers ... some dont. any way you made it this far might as well get it all figured out a-z . Congrats.

I would say that is past the prime stage. When I enlarged it, it looked like at least 60-70% Amber. This still ok, you will get more if a sedated buzz rather than heady high. Chop chop!

I chopped it on 4-6 2019 and still drying out. The drying spot reeks of a skunky smell.
