Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

I'm taking a break from recording and posting daily timelapses. Going for surgery in a few days. Will have help but not to document.

yeh, forgot to add the new week the other day. Oh well. Didn't miss much of anything. Timelapse for the last week starts us off here, as usual will update as the week goes on if anything notable happens. -3/14/2021 - Been slacking off on progress updates and pictures. However, progress has been damn good. Recovery from topping is over and the plants have adjusted to the new pot sizes.

Make a pull to get the same amount of light. 💪

Zum Vergleich Bilder mit einem Feuerzeug. Beide FastBuds Pflanzen bisher sind ziemlich enttäuschend. Triebe, höchstens (!) zweimal so lang wie mein Daumennagel und schon steif mit ersten Anzeichen der Vorblüte. Vergleicht das einfach mal mit der Sunshine LSD Auto, die ich im Sommer in 20l angebaut und so ziemlich alles falsch gemacht habe. Das Teil war ein Monstrum. Selbst jemand, der seit vielen Jahren mit Photoperiodischen zu tun hat und mir von Autoflowers abriet, war sehr sehr positiv überrascht, was das Teil unter widrigsten Umständen geliefert hat. Die Buds waren so schwer, dass ich alles abstützen musste, damit nicht alles umkippt. Alleine die Hauptcola über 30cm. Wirkung hat auch gepasst. Unglaubliches Teil. Und was haben wir hier hier? Was wird das? Ein Zwergenwunderland? Ich bin ziemlich enttäuscht aber vielleicht geschieht ja noch ein Wunder. Verstehe jetzt, warum von Autoflowers Indoor wegen Stromkosten/-verschwendung abgeraten wird. Das hier wäre was für meinen Balkonkasten im Sommer aber nicht für nen 14l Topf unter 240 Watt. Hatte nach der billigen aber bombastischen Sunshine LSD Auto von 66seeds echt mehr erwartet von Breedern, die sich speziell auf Autoflowers spezialisiert haben. Wenn der Ertrag so winzig ausfällt, wie das, was ich hier in den Kübeln habe, war es das mit FastBuds. Habe noch eine Blackberry Auto und einen Mix Pack mit fünf Samen da. Aber alleine dafür sind es mir die teuren Strompreise nicht wert. Ein Miniaturwunderland kann ich auch woanders bestaunen gehen. Falls jemand einen Tipp hat, wo man ähnliche Autostrains wie die Sunshine LSD findet, bitte her damit ;) Die ist gut aber immer nur Skunk Geschmack wird auf Dauer langweilig.

Week 4 coming to a close, temps are way better now. shes also beginning to ramp up her watering intake. Watered 4L, 5.9PH, 1ml/L Power Roots and 4ml/L Grow on Day 22 Watered 5L, 5.9PH, 1ml/L Power Roots and 5ml/L Grow on Day 26 Did some defoliation on 22 and 24. I think i overdid it for my likings but oh well, she'll manage. Scrog Net is ready for deployment on Day 27.🙌 Shes looking fine, healthy and has a lush green color, so i ramped up the nutes, cause thats what i do.

Day 55 from seedling!. After working out my times ect , it seems I have miscalculated by a little which explains a lot of the development and where I thought I was at with these ladies. The Los girl has just got on with it and didnt need any changes to anything at all during the grow so is right on time and development. Not having to hit the right time to change feeds has been an easy grow for the Los plants. The size of them is in general, slightly smaller with less thick branches. They have developed nicely but not as many actual budsites as their coco/mc counterparts in smaller pots. It will all be down to taste and potency it seems as so far MC is out front on this race. I have now switched them to the shogun for a week to encourage oils and final burst of growth if I can . In photoperiods, I have had a little success this way but withbautos it's all a new experience. Rhis strainnis a beauty to behold and grows amazingly well . Perfect for a first growers confidence as they are also very forgiving. The colours as they grow are so unique too. they look artificial compared to the strains I have grown before. She smells amazing too. so fruit sweet it makes me dribble. Frosting is everywhere too, so this next week should have them oozing some oils. well done on this super fast strain Fast Buds.

During the first period of flowering they seemed a little bit slowed down..Now they're starting to swell pretty good! :D Atami products work very well!

They are huge. I think I will start doing defoliation 2 times per week. PH 5,5 - 5,7 EC 2,50 - 2,75 See you next week guys!

Strong genetics, resistant, fast enough, easy to grow and never pretentious. I will try further training techniques on this strain, while waiting to make more room in the box to plant the Red hot cookie as well. If you like sweet flavors and fragrant plants this is definitely for you! Soon new updates for a cycle of only plants in "monstercropping", to continue my eternal red garden 😁🦄 thanks for following me up to here and leave a comment and suggestions 🦄👍🤘

THese Girls did not turn hermi But they turned Krazy and have been Stretching way more than there parents did and is flowereing like a week longer to start than its hermi parents.. i even trimmed it to bare ones when i started 12/12 and kpt it tied down to trellis hight for two weeks before letting it get virticle. then to my surprizi in only two more weeks its grown over 6' wich is higher than y lights will GO. had to Bend it down asmap last week now i have to crack the stalks again to barely keep them 8 in below my lights im down to Three inches and they have stopped stretching and have maintained the 3 inches hoping to get lucky and not get light burn Im Going to try and tie it down lower but already have way to much horizontal branches from bending it down every day this week wich is blocking a lot of light to anything below 4 inches from the top isnt getting the proper light and space to flower they bloom alot better when they are virticle to the light and not tied down virtical making the flowers only get the one side of the flower instead of all of it This Grow has been the most challenging one like Nothing Went as it was supposed to ive grown this strain times prior one from seed and two from clones and this grow was 2 Cloned branches with Flowers in the 4th week.So im thinking this is the reason why the speedy extra growth is because the clones were flowers back to veg for 5 weeks then flowered again thats the nly thing that is different also they have Zero male flowers unlike their Hermie mothers

Day 7 : I think this girl is doing very well I don’t know on how she will finish off I’m hoping for a high yield 🤞🏻 Im happy how she has stacked very close together and I just want her to fatten up abit more 🌱 any suggestion or tip helps overdrive for the boost tomorrow 💧

This plant honest surprised me. I wasn’t impressed by the growth behavior or the terp profile. Around week 3 of flower she really started to shine. Definitely a late bloomer. More of an early outdoor plant IMHO.

First week indoors done !!! And they BULK ;) Love it !!! Trichs stacking well, they don't look so leafy anymore and overall it will be nice result with wild forest strawberry flavour ... Finishing indoors - works !!! Middle of the week. Girls drink like crazy, bulks up and looking really nice, just watered and thinking its the one before last one .... Loads of dead leaves, they eat themself nicely and will award me with clean smoke at the end .. Wild forest strawberry smell faded away tho, a bit sad, maybe he is still in the bud . 5th day of week. They are ready !!! Checked all plants, first ambers, even fresh pistils here and there, loads of fan leaves where eaten, plants just finished perfect. Purple colours here and there and full maturity in my eyes. Still one more light watering, 48 hours of darkness and chop hopefully on sunday, next wednesday - latest. Happy growing !

Meine Glookies macht weiter ihr Ding. Unter den beiden top Budz bilden sich nochmal richtig schön dicke budz, die mir fast sogar noch besser gefallen wegen ihrer schönen Form. Der Geruch ist immer noch sehr fruchtig, süßlich aber auch skunky, ich Liebs. 2 Wochen noch bis zum Harvesting. 🌱 Bilder werden geupdatet.
