Fastbuds Big Bud Auto

Day 1 Put her in with about 2.5 cm root. Wanted the presoaked soil to have another 24hrs to breath but hey - she's in & poking her head up already. Got a little plastic tent over her now - can't really mess with the light height coz training & now the veg is in full swing having a hard time keeping RH up, so she is going to have to make do. I have got a spare fluro so at first sign of stretch I can flip her, but I don't think it will happen judging by all I've seen from the fastbuds divas. 2bhon I'd rather have 3 x 5gal autos rotating in this space, so any ideas to do something amazing with this big bud have gone out the window. In fact, growing this in 2 gal will be interesting as I gather she really lives up to her name. Day 2 Took her out of her tent today - she's looks ready for the big world. She shot up anyhoo 💪 Day 4 Expect same height as her cuzzins - Bit annoying as my fan is on this side, but she is tough Day 5 Fat leaves - good growth, nice color. no twisting (water stress) all good. Day 6 nothing to report except she is looking Strong The fan has been moved from near Stardawg / Big Bud to other side of grow and Light raised Day 7 Looking badass. 100ml plain rain for soil more than anything

Day 8 Wk 2 is here. Top dressed her. Just waiting to get to work on her. Day 9 Just a little support. She is not directly under light and won't be for a cpl more days. She had 2:1000 Grow Big & 3:1000 calmag in 200ml pH6 rainwater Day 10 Fresh growth looking good - expect to top in 24-48 - she is a bit more compact than FR & SD, which should be good given she is big bud! Day 11 omg I want to top her now! Her nodes are so short and the growth rate is so universal across plant - she is a beauty. I will wait though, at least 24 so she gets a bit of secondary growth going on around those axils - it is so tempting though to see if you can top at first signs and get uninterrupted growth and train her few days earlier but it is a huuge risk at this stage. If I had loads of seeds and space I would run some experiments, but for sake of a healthy plant - slow is best She had 200ml of pH6 plain rainwater last night. She is going to be marginally shorter and stronger in design than all the rest 👍 8hrs later (not 24 lol) Wow - the 3rd node was stretching so much I just thought nope - I want it tight and strong - this is big bud we're talking here - I want a firm stem so hit her and hard! Mainline height bang on 6cm (like all the others - how duz Fastbuds do it!?) she took it like a champ. Gave her a halo water of 100ml plain rain Day 12 omg I love this plant, she is a proper street fighter! You call that a top? She didn't even notice. She had 100ml plain rain water and lots of admiration today Day 13 She had 150ml plain rain water Day 14 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. She is b e a utiful. Managing to do her own Mainlining or keen to get started lol.

Day 15 The first nodes didn't seem to wanna go any further and was getting second nodes thickening so topped and main-lined. Day 16 Looking nice, 250ml plain rain water Day 18 Had to move her - making space decisions. Top Dressed and retied. 250ml plain rain Day 19 Nice bend! Nutes today - 3:1000 of grow big, tiger bloom & calmag in 250ml pH adjusted rain water Day 20 When you fall in love with a plant!! omg - she was ready for a third top - within 24hrs of her second bend! I decided not too - because it's weird right? anyhoo glad didn't - got the non parallel node thing going on on on side of plant (forget the correct term - it is midnight and I'm tired) but that is great for strength and ease of training, so going a different training path with no more topping. This plant is going to be big I can feel it so going to let her do most of the work. Can't wait to see how it goes! 300ml plain rain water Day 21 Tied her in - piece of cake job - loving her 250ml plain rain water oops checked pH - 6.9 not good - let that slip. adjusting next week she had another 250ml pH adjusted rain water w 5:1000 calmag this evening - hot day 27C 45rH

Day 22 She had 250ml plain rain water this morning. I moved the lights around yesterday for final flowering & confused her a bit, but she is great. Had her factory leaves off and retied her... she should look beaut tomorrow! Bit of jiggery pokery with ties - looking good! Day 23 Omg I am doing nothing with this plant. I'm not even sure what I'm doing with her design... Kinda just plant whispering at the moment. i am going to flatten her out towards the end of the week and get all her side branches in order. Would like to do it now but keep forgetting how fast this plant is, Usual 300ml plain rain water in the morning. Day 24 Gentle lst to get them used to idea but still 'waiting for my set'. 300ml plain rain water in the morning Day 25 Tied as much as I could down, but she is going into flower! Ho Well. Strong plant - lots of sites - really need to get fan leaves off but got disparity again... trying to get one side to catch up. Anyhow as I've bent all the side branches will leave fans on for 24/48 get some more stem growth. 300ml plain rain water in the morning Day 26 Nothing to do. 5:1000ml tiger bloom and calmag in 300ml plain rain water Day 27 Still doing nothing lol. 300ml plain rain - pooled a bit on surface - she's not drinking as much as in veg - for now 😁 200ml plain rain Day 28 300ml plain rain Grow room move around - new ts1000 in there - hopefully big bud's last position - had a great retie sesh

Day 29 I literally have to do nothing to this plant... that stem ready to bend? done - next day? twice as thick and stretching at the growing tip - definitely a good plant for low effort training method 😄 350ml plain rain nutes schedule going up tomorrow from bi wkly 5:1000ml Tiger Bloom Fert to bi weekly 2:1000ml Grow Big and Tiger Bloom Fert & 3:1000ml Big Bloom - calmag throughout - more nitrates if see signs weak growth or nitrate leach but so far soil mix holding good. This is Fox Farm recommended schedule btw Day 30 Nutes 2:1000ml Grow Big, Tiger Blooom & Calmag in 350ml pH adjusted rain water Day 31 400ml plain rain - she just drank up her nutes! bone dry this morning. Took factory leaves of leading side - nice shape to her - not much to do with me - strong plant! Day 32 350ml plain rain and a little top dress Day 33 350ml plain rain and a few fans off Day 34 350ml pH adjusted water 2:1000ml grow big, tiger bloom 1:1000ml calmag Day 35 3:1000ml Big Bloom in 300ml plain rain water No sign of mites

Day 36 She had 3:1000ml Big Bloom 2:1000 Tiger Bloom Grow Big 1:1000 Calmag in 400ml plain rain water she got v hot in the night and has signs of heat stress - had door open all day - she is looking better - lights are going off tonight for a bit of respite for Forbidden Runtz Day 37 Checked the thermometer the temp spiked at 30C last night - can only guess the new dehumidifier working a treat - no min/max on rH so can't say for sure but 1st time and new introduction so... ocham's razor... Anyway now going to have to be extra careful with all plants as they are all suffering from something. No watering today Day 38 400ml plain rain Day 39 Just 100ml plain rain - nutes tomorrow Day 40 2:1000ml TIger Bloom Grow Big 1.5:1000ml Calmag 3:1000ml Big Bloom 7:1000ml Unsulph Molasses in 500ml pH6.7 water Temp 24.7C rH47 Day 1 Responded well to nutes kick - thought she might be a bit Cal def coz of Tip Burn and bit of yellowing but she's fine today - will keep Calmag at 1.5ml per L for her 400ml pH6.6 rain water

Day 43 3:1000ml Big Bloom 2:1000ml Grow Big Tiger Bloom 1.5:1000ml Calmag 7:1000ml Unsulphured Molasses in 670ml pH6.5 rainwater She is living up to her name 😎 Day 44 300ml plain rainwater Day 45 pH6.8 Day 46 7:1000ml unsulphured molasses 0.5:1000ml Calmag in 500ml pH6.5 rainwater

<<DAYS CORRECTED FROM GERM>> Day 53 400ml plain rainwater Day 54 3:1000ml Big Bloom 2:1000ml Tiger Bloom Grow Big 1.5:1000ml Calmag 7:1000ml Unsulphured Molasses in 400ml plain rainwater Got loads of lower leaf Calmag spotting (see pic) - upped calmag Day 55 400ml plain rainwater Day 56 Wrong wrong wrong wrong wroooooong - is pH flux - am only pushing this plant another 2 wks so not bothered - dialing back the nutes anyway soil pH is 6.8 - was 6.6 last wk so wtf I did no idea - at start of grow through veg soil pH was consistently 7 Probs all started when some muppet got a pH meter and thought he knew what he was doing. It's a premix - with it's own organic setup and by dropping coco level PH wateringss in (6.5) I was prob locking out the goodies in that mix - which the plant has been doing fine in, till I got involved

Day 57 400ml plain rainwater lowered lights to 45cm Day 58 - 60 500ml plain water daily

Day 68 Moved her into own space - getting crowded in main cupboard. Changed lights to 18/6

Day 76 Only Water now Trimmed all stemmed leaves - don't want any more swell just gonna ripen what I've got. She is still v dark w the old chlorophyll - honestly I could push her another cpl wks but then wouldn't be in sync w moon AND if went another month you'd be able to smell her at the end of my block! So she is getting cropped in a week

Day 77 Just waiting on ol Mr moon - Full on 17th (in 3 days) and then few days of wane before crop (week today) - gives 2 days waning moon for beginning of drying

Day 78 Defoliated anything not sticky or bud related 😎 Day 81 48 Hrs darkness - trichs creaming up D_DAY Day 83

Easiest auto plant by far - wish I'd done 10 of these
