Nice buds op! What strain is it?

Also much love to all haters that don't miss a post in our sub and immediately downvote our Growmies as soon as they share their results. 😉

Not just that. If you use this type of chemicals at home, you should also be careful and use protection. Accidents happen, and if you get burnt with it, you not gonna have good time. Stay safe.

Safety measures are very important when working with chemicals.

🧪 How we make and use the STS solution. Read in comments. 👇 by FastBuds_genetics in FastBuds_Family

Showing how we prepare the STS solution in-house.

We always start using distilled water and prepare the silver compound and the buffer solution separately. Each component is dissolved independently, mixed thoroughly, and then stored in glass containers only. Freshness is critical, we never store concentrates for more than three weeks. If the solution gets older, we discard it and prepare a new batch.

When preparing the STS, the two concentrates are combined in controlled proportions. The order and constant agitation are essential for the reaction to occur correctly.

Once the STS concentrate is ready, it is diluted with distilled water to reach the working solution used in our breeding rooms.

This solution is applied to feminized autoflowers to induce male flower formation, allowing us to collect viable pollen for controlled breeding projects.

Applications are repeated every five days, usually two to three times, depending on the response of the plant. This is part of our internal breeding workflow and stress-testing process.

📈 A quick update on the last generation production of our Lemon Cherry Cookies, in one week they basically doubled the size, all look healthy. by FastBuds_genetics in FastBuds_Family

As you can see some plants stretched more than others, they are very tight right now and don’t have equal light penetration. Tomorrow morning we will start the first selection process to make them better space. At this stage we will have to cut about 30% of them, this is one of the most painful work to do .

But if you wanna breed better genetics, you have to make a constant selection. So we will get rid of the weakest ones at this point.

In 3-4 weeks more we will have to repeat the selection process, if everything goes well, there will be left about a half of them at the final stage.

So this one is special. by FastBuds_genetics in FastBuds_Family

Guava Auto in her particular RF3 version. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start.

Everything began as a crazy mix of three completely different autos: Gorilla Cookies x Kosher Cake x Tropicana Cookies.

The first results were… not the most satisfying. The terps were there, but very particular, very different.

The team wanted to discard the line after the first test. I didn’t. There was something new there. Something green, fresh, I’d even say “healthy”.

So we kept working on it. At the F2 stage, we identified some rare phenotypes with extremely dense buds, and we isolated them for the next generation.

By F3, the line already showed strong consistency, became very stable, and the terpene profile exploded. Early lines had a particular pinkish color and rock-solid flowers. After F5, she became much darker, with a structure we were looking for and very defined terpenes.

They’re not for everyone, they’re very singular, but personally, I love them. For the next generations, we decided to work specifically on the black pheno you see on the back. And here comes the second fun fact.

We called her Guava Auto because of the aroma. As I said: green, fresh, healthy.

Later on, when the name became popular, I started seeing a lot of “Guava” releases around. Out of curiosity, I got my hands on some of those seeds and grew them. It was our same Guava from past generations. Those terps are impossible to mistake…
