I've seen a lot of auto grows where 9 weeks in the leaves are turning and/or are look brown and burnt. Your plants look really well balanced, not overfed, not underfed. Nice Work!
How many weeks to you think they'll go?

Here is my 2 GSC fastbuds. They are 72 days today

Man, I think I've still got a solid 2-3 more weeks to go. These babies just keep pumping out white hairs.
I've went REAL aggressive with my feedings, going with 3x more flowering nutes than I normally do (1.5tsp per gallon instead of the usual .5tsp per gallon). I've also been feeding twice then giving straight water instead of alternating like I've done the past few years.
Major props to @Buddy73 and @MATTYMATT726, you guys have pushed me to try methods I have never done before. While this wasn't a perfect LST run, this was actually my first time trying that as well.

No, it was my first time trying to do some LST. I was definitely not aggressive enough, but did end up with a few tops per plant instead of just the one.

Always solid, one of my top picks over the years. If you are meticulous when dry trimming, after a 2-3 month cure, the nugs have an aroma that makes my mouth water like crazy.
Unfortunately, I only have few FB beans left...
Stocked up on Roc Bud Inc autos (Diesel Cookies, Purple Rolex V2, Magic Cookies and Purple Scoops).

Good work grabbing the Roc Bud seeds. That's the nice thing about FB, they always seem to be available. During some of the covid-impacted seed droughts we've had recently, when everything else was closed or sold out, it was comforting to see the virtual shelves well stocked with FB strains.

That's
Cause people get all high mighty and want the "in season" name. Only issue that i see with Fast Buds is they are gen 1 seeds. That's not even a negative. On one hand, more stable genes let you have a stable setup EVERY grow. S/F1 can be good too. While cloning isn't viable with autos, you still can find gems with more variations. I would(and do have 3 FB strains) buy them if i didn't stock up on Mephisto before they went south in 19'.

I hear you, but I'm not growing as many plants as I used to. Looks like I'm going to grow three plants this winter, one run in a 2x4. Those three plants each have to have the highest possible probability of being awesome, F1's are a bit of a roll of the dice. Even if I were going to put an F1 into the mix, would I choose one of my FB strains, or one of my Mephisto freebies? Decisions, decisions...
