Day 18 - FIM cut made.
Day 20 - Transplant to 38 litre airpot.
Day 21 - She is growing the most by far. I'm expecting a big jump in growth in the next few weeks.
What a major growth spurt this week! Must be loving her new pot and all the lights switched on!
She grew 25cm this week! 10 inches! She is the tallest in the tent.
But anyway, she is doing her thing this week. Nutrients this time are 20-20-20 NPK powdered fertiliser I'm trying this time around. About 12 grams mixed with 10L of water makes ~1000ppm. My clean water alone is ~300ppm of that.
I do have a CO2 bag generator thing... It's not doing a lot though. My CO2 meter reads barely over 400ppm.........
This week she grew 23cm taller! I have been doing experiments through the week FIMing various upper growth sites. We will see what effects this will have in the weeks to come.. I've also been seeing upper leaf tips going a very light green. Is it nutrient burn? Light burn?
Nutrients used this week: 20 grams 20-20-20 powder mixed with 10 litres of water + 40ml of Cannazym = ~1470ppm

Only had chance to do photos on day 41 guys, apologies for that.
This week I think there was a Gamma Radiation leak nearby.. She grew 36cm!!!!!!!!!! 😂 thats OVER 5cm / 2" per day 😍 😎.
I think I got another monster on my hands 😂 😍 I'm gonna estimate after harvest 5oz dry 😋
I don't have much more headroom in the tent. I wish she had FIMed properly. This is an area I need to improve... 😑
Lots of flower sites forming! She is quite bushy.
For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water.
I did an arty vertical shot this week on the timelapse. 😁

She actually grew ANOTHER 31cm this week!
She is totally out of headroom now, her top cola will be above the lights in a couple of days 😂
Fastbuds do say it can reach 1.4M... 😁
She is also looking quite bushy, I'm guessing this is a result of the earlier FIMing/topping on multiple sites. This may also have lengthened her veg time, but that's ok. I like to grow monsters 😁 😜
Nothing else to the report as I'm just letting her do her own thing.

She grew another 17cm this week! 145cm tall!!!!!!!!!
She is totally out of headroom now, her top cola is through the lights and getting close to the roof of the tent 😅
Fastbuds do say it can reach 1.4M... 😁 It's accurate, she is a MONSTER of a plant.
This week I have done a quick video showing the result of my experiment a few weeks ago where I FIMed a couple of side branches. Take a look 😃

So this week I took the decision to bend over her cola to clear the lights. I didn't want to scrape any THC off when she's moved 😂
Week 2 of flowering is going well. She's doing her thing.
Week 10 done and dusted!!!
She is as monsterous as ever 😂
Flowering going well! She is drinking an absurd amount! Probably 3 litres a day easy.
I look forward to harvesting her tent-mates in the coming weeks so she can be spread out a bit better.
I am pretty sure if she was grown alone, she would have filled up the entire tent. She is a prodigious grower!!
Still monsterous. Had to bend down more colas during this week!! Crazy plant.
She will be so much better when I can spread her out, the amount of flowers on her are simply amazing.
I honestly didn't know what fimming her side branches would do, but it looks like it's paid off in spades.
A few more weeks to go yet, her trichomes have not developed yet.
Anyway, apologies for poor pics this week, they're all getting too big to get in and out the tent without damage. Last week I snapped the main cola on the CBD 😭
Her flowers are fattening up nicely. Cannot see her trichomes very much yet....
Loosing a few lower leaves, so I've upped nutrients a bit to help her out.
Still a few weeks away though. She will be the last one left which is good because I will spread her out in the tent fully. 😍
She's growing well lately. Buds are getting dense, not many trichomes yet.
Pistils are changing though so another few weeks to go I think, maybe 3 weeks.....
The other two got harvested during the week so she has a much more room to spread out now 😍
👍
Day 100 - (yes I know it's late) She is getting near the end now. Loosing a few leaves. Trichomes milky but not amber yet. Pistils still white in places.
I added a 500ml Monster can for scale 😂 hope it's allowed............ 😋
Day 105 - She's not far off now, next few days I'm guessing. I'm gonna need help trimming this up. Any volunteers? 😂
Update: I will revise the harvest. Upon much closer inspection most of the trichomes are clear. So she's going on for a while.
@commandercannabis suggested I put lights on her 😂
Day 126 - Flushing now. Trichomes are about right. She sure took her time!!! 😂 😎 But looking at her I think she will be worth it!!! The lesson to be learned here for noob growers (of which i was guilty too) is let your plants grow! Don't be too hasty to harvest when trichomes are clear and glassy, she's not ready. There is not enough THC in her trichomes when they're clear.
She looks great. Very frosty. There are a lot of leaves to remove though so who knows what the harvest dry weight will be.
In the coming days she will be harvested, it's gonna be a big job 😳
Update: Day 129 - harvest has started at last! 😎
Incredible plant. From way back in week 3 she was showing signs of being a monster plant. Plenty of good light, a big 38 Litre airpot and some 20-20-20 fertiliser and she makes a huge plant. Over a pound of good buds from an autoflower in 18 weeks!!!!
So finally the harvest has started. Branches are harvested from the bottom pair upwards. Looking thru the pics again to write this, I remember feeling in awe of this plant. By node 4 they were very nice buds. Massive and dense. Node 6 and above is silly. Never seen anything like it. I had to take these pics because the 9" to 10" circumference on the buds, nobody would believe me 😅
Still got the main cola to do, got sidetracked doing other projects. But it will be done in the next couple of days, then to dry it all!!!
Main cola trimmed and drying now......................
Sorry this update has been a while coming, i promise it's worth the wait.
Dry weights in now starting from bottom node pairs and working up the plant:
29.72g
45.85g
54.91g
126.28g
82.51g
112.26g
75.24
Total = 526.77g !!!!!!!!!
This plant is totally incredible. All lower buds apart from the main colas weighed 9oz... I was thinking another 2+oz main colas and nice buds. Well they was over 9oz too. Over 18oz from a single autoflower plant. Incredible, just incredible.
@Dunk_Junk,
Ya, same here..I pulled 224g (8oz) from an Early Miss...it will take an XXL to beat that I think.
It looks to me like your PE will weigh in somewhere between 9 and 10oz ..she's fuckin' massive!
@Silverback_Guerilla, missed this comment! The trimming is the only part I dislike. But as we all know is is a necessary evil though 😑
Looking forward to the final dry weigh. My best yet is 8oz from a Stardawg. I'm hoping this is more 😋
@TheBudWhisperer, I'd love to know the ins and outs of the commercial breeding process. How the seeds from each plant get 'treated'. Are they kept separate or mixed with seeds from other plants.
I have another 4 of these seeds to run but it will be a while until I will need to grow another LOL. But it will be interesting to see what the others turn out like.
@Dunk_Junk, I’m doing this strain from FB on DWC next run so I’ll let you know👍. Seen a few already though and I think this is an abnormal one-off bro. Odds are good it had fem. genetics only and for whatever reason didn’t produce with ruderalis traits??? No idea dude
Well it’s safe to say that the ruderalis gene missed this seed! Lol. She grew like a straight photo dude. Can’t be much longer now and she’s obviously gonna count massive!😂😎👍👌🤘
@TheBudWhisperer, dude you are not wrong. I took a bud off the other day to.. ahem.. 'examine' 😂 and it was 4g dry, 12g wet and you cant even tell where it was cut from 😁
@Dunk_Junk, np dude. And I’ll do ya one better - if you want to see it in real time on a stretchy plant like yours, check out @MG2009 diaries. Guy’s a grower of beasts and has video of it - check the ghost train haze grow if memory serves😉👍
@TheBudWhisperer, see... that's what I love about this site. I've learned something there in your description. 😎
I was very afraid of doing exactly what you describe! I didn't want the stem to distort so didn't put too much tension on the wires. I made sure to spread it over a large arc rather than a point and have it crease.
It's something I will seriously consider in future if needs be.
Thanks! 👌
@Dunk_Junk, well, not exactly - I’d refer to supercropping more as extreme bending rather than “snapping”. You pinch/delicately crush the area of stem that you want to bend over in your fingers so that it loses its rigidity and can then be bent over and tied down (sorta like what you’re gonna do anyway). You could do it at this stage of growth as it’s still only early flower and I’ve had good results myself. The plant tends to focus on the other colas more evenly dispersing growth. That said, you don’t exactly have a problem with yield on this girl 😉lol so might be unnecessary if u can accomplish the same thing with lst. Good luck bud!👊
This plant is insane !! Massive man !! Super sick seeing something like this !! I can imagine must be a pain with space though 🙈 but super sick once again !!
@Yucreepin, She was grown in a 39 litre airpot with COB lights. For this particular plant the stars aligned. Growth was phenomenal throughout. I look forward to growing another at some point to be honest!
Sorry guys but i grew few plant in my life and there is no way this girl is 500gr dry weight. I just can't see the point why to lie, and put wet fresh buds in a jars like it a dry cured bud. This girl is 150gr max in dry bud. But still very good result for autoflower.
@Dunk_Junk,
All I am saying, is that half a kilo, I used to have from 2 m tree, outdoor. And trust me I know how half a kilo of dry bud looks like and it's nothing like on your pics. I think u just confused wet and dry weight.
@smoking_hills9, Hahahaha! 😂 😂Thanks for your backhanded compliment.
No lies here dude. It's all documented. Plenty of pictures for evidence. All of the pictures taken of bud on scales is fully dry. They were not taken straight after the wet trimmed pics...
If you followed in real-time back then you'd have waited to see final harvest dry pics
😎 💪
Unreal. Not much else I can say. Cannot wait to join you smoking some Pinapple! Mine will be ready in 2 weeks. Praying the harvest is even half of yours!
@TheIceCreamParlour, Dude yours looks gorgeous! Don't be afraid to go a week or two over what you think. She is very sativa dominant and sativas have a longer flowering time 😉.
@CommanderCannabis, Thank you!
She really didn't mind me fiming the side branches at all. The amount of flowers on those are ridiculous. My FIMing failed on the main stem, looking back I really should have repeated it when I realised it had failed. All in all a very strong plant.
Gonna be a good Christmas dude! 😎 👍
@Dunk_Junk, I'm running some pineapple now and toying with the idea of adding some 100w strip LEDs about halfway up the plants to see what difference it makes to those lower sites. I've seen others get good results. Shes a beauty though! Keep up the good work.
@TheIceCreamParlour, You and me both buddy!! She's an absolute monster! I'm actually glad the tent is full of Sativas, their leaves are so much thinner than Indica plants. There's quite a lot of light penetration through the leaves to the lower flowers but they are noticeably less developed.
Well this is a good problem too have 😁
IMO I would LTS and spread her out wider and I would tie down the main branch.
I had a monster (Sativa pheno) Critical +2.0 auto that was in a small 20 inch X 45 inch X 40 inch.
I had to tie down the main branch and use alot of LST and even some HST, but she fit and yielded 12oz for my trouble.
@Dunk_Junk, Well you grow um big for sure 💪. During my last grow 2 Blue amnesia XXL finished up early and I was able to spread out and focus my lights on a Sour Diesel Haze Auto and she loved it.
I just had to bend the main stem on one of my tallest sativa pheno Incredible Bulk Auto last night because she grew past the lights (diarie updated with pictures). I'm growing 7 of them and they are some real beauty's. Check um out if you haven't already.
@JerMeds, wow man, 12oz is pretty awesome. Well done!
The problem I have with her is my 1.5m x 1.5m tent is too small for 4 fully grown plants 😭
As I harvest the others in the tent, she will be spread out to the available space.
I'm thinking Blue Dream will be done in a couple of weeks, CBD Lime maybe a couple of weeks later. This will free up a load of space for her to stretch out into 😍
I did a little research on this and it looks like it's most likely that your ph was off. So it may be balanced now, but in the past week did you see it too low or high? (This would cause it to have a slight lockout and deny it the potassium and other stuff). I noted that you are not posting your ph, is it at 5.8 or something else? My ph seems to sway a lot so that is probably what is happening with yours as well. I think your plants look great by the way, just keep checking the ph and I'm sure she will recover just fine.
@Will_journals, I'm pretty sure this is what is happening now I have increased feeding. I will dial it back a little and alternate plain water every so often. This is what I found successful in previous exploits 😋
Thank you for your input! 👊 👌
PH fluctuations happen in the reservoir, but not in the coco coir. If it's a lockout it could be from build up of salts from the nutes in the coir. This happens sometimes from not watering enough to runoff. Check the PH coming out the bottom of its off from what is going in.....keep watering until it matches. Coir is inert absolutely no chemicals so what goes in comes right out as it should with a 20% runoff every feed
@BeefWellingtons, I totally do not check my PH at all.... But up until now I've fed quite light. This time I am pushing the ppm's (for me) quite high. I am thinking of dialling them back a little for the future.
@Dunk_Junk, hell yeah that sounds awesome bro! :D I absolutely agree and i love having a long lasting sativa even if it takes a few more weeks until finish.. or months.
Always worth it, because I personally grow hybrids or indicas mostly. Especially now, that I only do Autos indoors because of the small space I got available. 1.44 m²
Fingers crossed for both of us to get some more Sativa hybrids haha
Cheers
@Topshelf420, I've just looked at yours! Yes very similar plants!!! Typical sativa taking ages, I remember mine almost refused to make amber trichomes 😂
She was something special though. I did not realise it during the 11 months she lasted, but afterwards I missed a very nice pure sativa in my collection.
I will grow her again someday and I'm hoping to have another sativa pheno next time around 😍
@TheBudWhisperer, yeah man. I'm not looking forward to busted up hands 😐 😑 but c'est la vie! I feel better staggering it over a few days. It doesn't seem like so much of a chore then lol.
@TheIceCreamParlour, I'm thinking two weeks max. But I'm quite surprised how slow things are going tbh... She's cantering towards harvest 😋
Also I'm not sure how to do this harvest. Normally I'd stagger the harvest over a few weeks, but this one I may just throw the lower buds in to make hash and keep the upper stuff no matter if it's milky enough 😏
