Master the basics; they apply to every type of strain. (i) Keeping the temperature above 23ºC and below 27ºC (73ºF - 80ºF) will see the plant grow really fast and preserve the thricomes in flower. (ii) Having the humidity in the right range for each stage will further improve your plant's health: above 70% for seedlings will reduce the strain for the roots to get water so the plant can focus its energy into growing faster; between 40% and 60% for plants in vegetative phase and below 50% (beloqw 40% would be even better) durign flower phase, since that promotes thricomes production and reduce mold risk (or worst bud rot). (iii) Water just the right amount so the soil has a wet / dry cycle of 4 to 5 days; start with a cup of water, as the soil becomes dry, give the same amount, as the plant grows, the cup of water will last less and less until it will lasts 2 days, then double the amount to 2 cups and repeat the process; most strains I've grown need between 300 to 400 cc (10 to 14 oz) of water a day so I tend to water with 1.5 liters (roughly 1.5 quarts), although that's my case as a micro grower. Lastly training, be sure to use LST at the very least and maybe TOP (or FIM) to achieve a flat canopy. Since ligth decreases its intensity really fast with distance, having the most buds at the same distance to the light source will ensure the best use of your lights. Finally, plant aren't ducks that need to be force fed. Let the plants feed on the soil and only feed if you see the beginnings stages of a deficiency. Excess feeding lead to many issues, inclusing slow growth, and lowr yield. Good luck mate

So far so good I think. I have given the plant nutrients for the first time this week. Hoping to see a spark in growth.

Transplanted into a 8.5L Fabric pot. Added some Dynaroot Powder during the transplant. Trying a new organic soil mix from Royal Gorilla. Going to give the plant a week to recover then top it at the 3rd node to start with training. Overall happy with the growth so far. Very interesting strain.

Sorry for the delayed update. I was away. Looks like she responded well to the transplant. Topped her at the 3rd node, going to start with training soon.

Sorry once again for the late update. Plant is looking really good, topped on each side at the 4th node. Hoping she starts to stretch out nicely.

I will be following. I grow the original duckfoot the one used to create their strain. If you got the dew duck expected to be purple if it's Auto duck it will be similar to mine with some White Widow trait
