New Grower Fast and vast vs. Candy Kush auto. WOW!!!

[gardenhackle]

Just wound up the harvest of fast and vast and auto candy Kush. Real mixed bag with these. Lessons learned?

1. Never grow fast and vast with candy Kush. The candy Kysh can't compete for the light.

2. The bud structure of candy Kush is awesome.

3. Fast and vast lives up to it's name, finishing in just 75 days from the day I dropped the seed in water and grew like nobody's business.

The candy Kush came out OK but the F&V just eclipsed it. It would have been a lot better if the F&V hadn't stolen all the light. I'm guessing I'll end up with about an ounce per plant from the CK. THE F&V, on the other hand, went nuts at about six weeks and then it was a constant battle to manage the light. Note to self: Prune F&V very aggressively.

Here are some pictures. Two F&V and two. CK hanging. Almost all of it is F&V.

Here are the stumps. Notice the massive stems of the 2 fast and vast vs the candy Kush.

Here's a closeup of the F&V stump.

Some details:

MEDIA: General hydroponics aeroflo-18 aero point unit.

Nutrients: Lucas formula (I prefer "Lucas strategy") with FloraNova and hydroguard.

Lighting. (1) each California light works SOLARSTORM 440

I employed LST to fill out the canopy with 5 plants. The Candy Kush trained beautifully In retrospect, it's a great plant to grow for low headroom and low maintenance because it grows great without pruning or even training. Massive colas!

The F&V.... Crazy growth and great smell with good pruning, these should yield ridiculously nice buds!

Hell yeah man nice looking harvest you have there. Can't wait to see some cured bud and find out what the smoke is like for those two strains.

Thanks! The candy kush didn't get a fair shake. The fast and vast just eclipsed them and left them starved for light. But they still grew gorgeous buds. Prettier than the f&v, for sure. But the fast and vast, despite smaller buds is ridiculously sticky, stinky, crystal covered ass-kicking goodness. I'm growing a plot of 4 candy kush and 5 massive midget this go but I'm doing fast and vast again soon. My buddy says it's the best he's ever smoked in 37 years and it's not cured completely yet. I've had better but I've done some globe trotting and this is still very nice even though I couldn't say for sure its the best I've ever had. I'd say probably not but no complaints from me!!!! I'd be damned happy if weed was always this good. . I'll know more in a week or so.
