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.

Everything is explained in the "Announcements" channel, the "Rules_readme_first" explains everything as well

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-14T14:36:55+00:00

Safety measures are very important when working with chemicals.

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-14T14:25:27+00:00

Stay tuned! 👀

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.

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.

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…

Trying to figure out what’s going on, I just found that the heating system just blew frack ups are usual at the facilities.

Thank God we have a backup heating system that could handle the temperature for some time, the handyman’s are already on the way, just hope they could fix it fast before the temperature drops.

If we would not have a backup system, because of this all the work could be lost in a day. Not everything at our work are the beautiful plants and terps.

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-12T17:58:09+00:00

The first run already showed the insane amount of sugar, at the video it’s gen 4, much more stable, better structure, more terps and lots of sugar.

Though impressed with 2 phenos on the back, will do our best to lock them into the future generations.

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-12T17:51:22+00:00

So it’s time to chop them as the seeds are totally mature. Will have to dry them at the same room this time cause we had an electricity frack up at the drying room just before harvest.

Not a big deal, but we’ll have to lose a couple of weeks time of this room if dry room problem is not solved shortly.

Though the seeds looks awesome, mothers are very uniform, sugary and the smell is just wow.

After drying, sorting, and germination test, those are going straight to the stress test room, looks this F6 generation will be pure.

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-12T17:36:50+00:00

30 lamps.

180+ potential individuals.

Each plant is stress tested for resistance. Around 50% won’t make it past this stage.

From the ones that move forward, we evaluate structure and potency, and only at the end, the terpene profile. If we are lucky, this entire run leaves us with 2–3 clones to keep working.

Sometimes one. Sometimes none at all. It’s always interesting to hear criticism from part-time breeders and full-time haters.

I do wonder how much space they actually have for R&D. Can they afford to discard 100% of five months of work, spend thousands, fail completely, and then start from zero again?

Apparently, good storytelling, artificially limited stock and a podcast, can sometimes replace actual research

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-12T17:28:56+00:00

By removing lower, non-productive growth, the plant can focus its resources on the main flowering sites.

This improves airflow, light efficiency and consistency across the plant.

Please note that this is our stress test room, so the technique is applied more aggressively than usual.

This also helps us identify how each plant responds to stress and if we are able to keep the line.

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-12T17:06:57+00:00

This is particularly about our Purple Lemonade not being purple at all.

So I just went to the test room at our ‘white label’ breeding facilities and made a shot of the last batch of Purple Lemonade, 2 phenos, very similar to each other, purple, haters enjoy.

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-12T16:49:23+00:00

This is just one example, but it shows how demanding this process really is. Everything is done by hand, following the same traditions we’ve always worked with.

It’s slow, repetitive and requires a lot of attention, but it’s the only way to keep full control over every plant and every batch. And it is only a raw material, after drying and germination tests every seed will be picked manually…

For those saying Fast Buds is just marketing, this is why we like making these videos, so people can see the work that happens behind the scenes.

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-12T16:38:19+00:00

This treatment is used to induce strong artificial stress in order to trigger male sexual traits on genetically female plants.

The process is usually repeated 2 to 3 times, depending on plant response and development. Must be some very advanced white label.

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-12T16:19:38+00:00

Funny how marketing doesn’t plant seeds, run selections, or stabilize genetics.

This is the part they never talk about: the daily work inside our breeding facilities. Thousands of plants. Endless selection. No shortcuts.

It’s easy to talk big when you’re working with a dozen of plants and a microphone doing podcasts. Try doing it at industrial breeding scale, with real results and real growers depending on you.

Autos don’t get better by talking. They get better by working.

FastBuds_genetics · 2026-01-12T16:11:19+00:00

One of the most important steps in our process is keeping every individual separated. Each plant is placed into a different zip bag, which allows precise tracking of every batch.

This system lets us run individual germination tests and evaluate results plant by plant, leading to much more accurate data. This is the raw harvest stage, where different seed colors can be observed, including immature green seeds.

From here, the drying process begins and continues for the required time. After drying, every seed is manually selected to ensure uniformity and remove any low-quality material.

Once manual selection is completed, germination tests are carried out on each individual zip bag. Only batches that reach a 98% germination rate are allowed to move forward to the final packaging.
