Start of there veg state. Germination went well on all 3 autos. The king Kong was slower than other two but I've learnt from my fat banana not always a bad thing. Just watering still. Every other day.0.3-0.5L. Swapping the 125w cfl for the omega dimmable 660w hps super. I'll have it on 250w for next 2 weeks then amp up too 400w till pre flower then go to 600.

Boom, she has taken. And doing really well, alot of nice big healthy growth, showing to be a strong and pushy strain. Started feeding advanced nutes at 50% base recommended. But full recommendation on other additions. LST started to encourage a larger area for this this one 😉 Mid week 3 veg pic update. Lst working nice. She is pushing and such a fat base to her already 👌 Day21 veg, Sooooo annoyed at myself. I have over LST main colar and snapped of the top. I've only take the top node and main clean off. But I hope she recovers early enough. So upset 😅. Until then as you can see she was huge, prob one of biggest autos I've had so far. But I Will make her work 😂✌️💚

Start of week 4 veg -day 15V. Accidentally topped last night, this morning she's acting like nothing happened 💪💪💚 Goddamn this strain is resilient. Throwing new growth out constantly. Will run more of these without topping as she was going sooooo strong. Day23V - the bounce back from the accidental top is amazing. She is a freaking beast!! Upped feed. Day 24V - lst all sides down, trying the splat octopus 🐙 looking technique, hopefully this is kinda how I envisioned it when I was recommended this method. Hope I'm doing it right 🤦‍♂️😂 Such a a strong plant, continually throwing out growth. Day26V, massive growth. Starting to see her sex ✌️💚 I'm going to run another king Kong auto and not top as I really think I shagged her potential 🤦‍♂️. She's a fighter though, no matter what I've done, over stressed, broken main stem, broken another side arm 🤦‍♂️ due to her being so thick she is hard to control, gotta be ahead instead of catching up with this lst.

Day 44 Day 9 F Wow, what a strong seed. I have accidentally topped her twice again this week, her branches are so damn thick with 0 flex 🤦‍♂️🤣 But she is powering through like nothing happens. Feed/water/water - wet to dry soil rotation. She is flourishing 🙌✌️💚 Day 48 Day 13 F - wow! Her stretch has indeed initiated 🤦‍♂️🤣 She has recovered so well and thrown her arms out in a strong strop 😁 Love to see it Feeding 50% base nutes, and full recommendation of added others. Feed to water on a wet to dry soil rotation. Seems to working great 💪✌️💚

Day 52 Day 17 Flower Absolutely insane growth, exploding out every possible angle, I'm having to adjust lst daily to compensate, one I chop my Creamatic I will pull her right down and open her up. She looks amazing, strong sturdy branches, tops flying up, and bud sites forming in uniform it's beautiful 😍 Pistols forming in abundance, so many bud sites. I will start lollipopping this week. Day 56 Day 21 Flower Still showing explosive growth, pictures from pre water. I have now watered and will upload the new pictures tomorrow for start of week ✌️ Noticeably she has soooo many bud sites, and daily, consistently she throws more shoots up. I love it.

Day 60 Day 25 Flower She has really taken off, dominated the tent already nearly 😂🤦‍♂️ Blue nerdz no where near as big as this Kong auto. Bud sites developing, pistils flying off everywhere fully loaded, resin production under way, I'll get a few good macros later. Stretch has finished I hope 😂 She seems to have slowed down abit this week and focused on flower production. Day 62 Day 27 Flower - had to really bring the lst down and tighter on her again, I believe her stretch is almost over as her bud development is now well under way 🙌✌️💚

Day 65 Day 30 Flower Wow, this is a beast of an auto, she is doubling up these bud sites and keeping them nodes tight af 😋 Side branches where spewing off everywhere... So lollipopping done today, a few side branches lower down that were weaker and just life sucking got struck. I'm waiting to see the bounce back and upload the pictures as I know she will definitely show me some resilience 😍💚 I like this strain, I love this freebie. Day 67 Day 32 Flower - drinking Alot now, feeding every other water, 5L a go, 10%run off. I do this to prevent salt build up. It shows in comparison to when I didn't the amount of salts left in the bottom corners of the fabric pots. Fattening up nicely, bounced right back after I gave her a light hair cut and pulled some side arms and lollipopping. She is a strong bean 💪💚 Day 68 Day 33 Flower - Final pluck of the lollipopping and the defoliating. She really has swollen nicely since the first time. I have done pre photos and afters. Feed today, heavy, top up soil mix in pot incase up root. 😎💚

Day 73 Day 38 Flower Monday 6th Camera is doing no justice, little video, although to my own fault I did not have phone with me when feeding yesterday for decent pictures. I will update again on water tomorrow ✌️ So far stretch has stopped, the recovery from lollipopping and defoliating is immaculate, she is so strong, already seeing denser bud sites and focused energy towards tops. Day 74 - picture updates, looking great 😍💪💚

Day 79 Day 44 F Starting to see her really throw on weight now, big fat hairy glistening buds forming, all over!! she is doing her thing quite nicely 👌 I will be adding props/supports this week to help her with her weight, the bend is starting to become visible with the weight of her tops 😁😍 I'll cane each side arm to support also the main cola. Big feed on start of week - Friday 10th May. And will finish off the week with water. I will be doing this from now on as I noticed flushing taking so long on my autos before, I figured I would try the feed 1x water off 3x. Well see with this week if she reacts well to it or not. PH is still in 6.2-6.4 on both water and feeds. The smell is incredible!! Funky lemon / lime AROMAS 😍, Mouth watering. Day 81 Day 46 F 13.05.24- Dropped her back down a teir, as she was to close to light and heat last week was in high 20s 🤦‍♂️ But damn she has held it, fox tailed a little but hoping this cooler week and a fat feed should help her back 🙏 Adding props tomorrow now they have arrived I just need to disinfect before use. Showing good recovery and still seeing her swell with new developments of pistils being thrown up so I'm OK at the moment. Day 84 Day 49 F End of the week 16/05/24 Thinfs have gotten alot better towards end of this week, fox railing has minimalised, and the buds have started to stack again. I have taken stress buds away, I will sacrife her day or 2 day recovery for 4 wasted sides not getting light and have fox tailed like mad 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ so I nipped them. Water today, run off 220ml from 5L. Pocture updates.

Day 85 Day 50 Flower Friday 17/05/24 She seems to have exploded since I sorted the temps. The tops seem to be swelling again normally, fox tailed to shit at very tops but all under are nice and swelling up more. Last Feed today. Day 87 Day 52 Flower 19/05/24 - Sunday. Water today with calmag She really has recovered well, that 1 week of stress really did her dirty for tox tailing. But, she has recovered and now has fist sized nuggets forming everywhere. She is a beast 💪💚 Day 89 Day 54 Flower - pH water , 5l 2.2l run off. Day 90 Day 55 flower 22/05/24 - Wednesday So I'm debating, chopping her at end of this week, or trying to allow another week just to ripen further, all depends on my tre lime auto for space. She looks ready, all trichomes cloudy with tiny partial amber's showing. I would love to see more amber as I like my smokes to be sleepers.
