Fastbuds Stardawg Auto

Day 21 Okay... she is back to full growth rate. This week will be illuminating: she slowed right down after last top and had serious rhino horn leaves saying something wasn't right under the soil. A pH test suggested a drench in pH6 adjusted rainwater would sort along with consolidate soil with top dress. She is due to be tied hopefully tomorrow am and I am hoping she doesn't get a sulk on and slow down. If she gets through next training week without slowing I will continue with 3rd top and follow same design as FR & PP, but if she gets a cob on, then I will probably start to train her on the fly and only give her 2 tops. So far she is about 4 days behind her cuz FR who had same birthday - if she gets another sulk on then she will be a week behind aaand will do same for third top and then prob get two wks behind, Bit much for an auto - that said she could poss go two wks longer, but not worth banking on that. Fastbuds has her down as 9-10wks. So the next two days will determine her fate. I am not touching her at all. She is a fussy drinker - not too dry - not too wet. Since drenching the leaf curl is noticeably less however. Going to be extremely careful this next bend as really want her to set her roots & will defoliate fans later: sacrificing efficiency for strength of growth - she needs to set more root I reckon. Going to let that happen this week Once again I will mention that she had probs breaking her shell and this is not down to the genetics but environment / s*** luck - should have given her longer to germ. Now she's getting it! look at those lovely fan leaves - bit of lst on them to keep fresh growth at top of plant - will bend her tomorrow! what a nice surprise - had a great lunch with my brother & his family (1st time in over a year - bloody Covid!) & great day in the grow! result! She had 100ml plain rain water Day 22 Really wanna bend her, I have hoping there would be a redress of the imbalance between both sides, but no. I could sequentially bend the harder growing 1st then weaker next day? Not sure, I thought they were catching up but I think it's just how you look at her LOL, Pictures clearly say nah no change. Whatever I do she is getting her 2nd bend tonight/tomorrow She had 100ml plain rainwater. Backing off nutes and letting premix soil take the strain. Day 23 Ok. Final branch caught up - good bend. Not going to repeat errors with FR and going to keep fan leaves on as long as poss. She had 200ml plain rain water Day 24 Well I've been worrying about space and light decisions for days. Done now. Everyone is in max light & without any reflective material - I cannot put another plant in grow... yet. So FR swapped with PP but everyone else more or less where they were. Pink Tub has gone and wire intensive solution created. She had 250ml 3:1000ml grow big in 250ml plain rain water. Happy and recovering that disparity in growth with max light going to weaker side.. Going to go a little less quickly with training these Fastbuds as compared with purple punch - these girls are my heavy hitters, I want them big and strong. Day 25 Well I've topped all four nodes... I didn't want to slow or stress her again, but I didn't want three branches off one node & space is an issue four me so thought what the hell.... left the big fan leaves on for way longer than norm seems to have helped, but after another 24hr recovery, they will be coming off for the next wave of meristems. She is putting out tiny flowers at the top sites....? Stressed to all *&%! She had 250ml plain rain Day 26 You know I questioned leaving those big fans on and meant to take them off, but when I saw her this morning and she looked happy for the first time in a week, i thought nah. makes me question taking them off at all, she seems to like. The theory is why grow anything big that is meant for waste pile in such short lived plant, but you gotta have strong growth - it's a toss up. Here I think big is beautiful She had 250 ml plain rain, and once that last mainline bend is in, then bloom the next week Day 27 Won't be long will do the fans when do the next bend. 250ml plain rain
