Very Rapid Growth over last 3 days. Almost doubled in size from day 7 to day 10. On day 14 I mixed up a gallon of recharge and watered each plant in my garden. It says to expect noticeable results in 2-3 days so let’s see how effective this instant compost tea will be. I am very confident in this product so I hope it lives up to the hype. Highly impressed with these Fastbuds genetics. I have figured out my overall strategy with these autos. Pretty much let them grow until you can start tying branches down to even out the structure of the plant causing the least amount of stress as possible. Only defoilate early if the fan leaf/sugar leaf is obstructing a bud site. Take off all xl fan leaves in week 1 of Flower and continue this process until harvest leaving only the sugar leaves remaining the last week of harvest. This has to be done gradually or you will cause way more harm than any of the benefits to be had. If in doubt leave it alone. In the beginning most new growers do way too much of everything and a lot of the time you are doing more harm than good. Feed n water your plant and it will tell you what it needs if you know what to look for. Do research. YouTube is amazing.
Day 20: I defoliated large fan leaves that had outgrown the plant and were covering up most of the lower canopy. Recharge is now part of my weekly routine. It is worth every penny !
