Day 15
The growth is really great, nothing changing in the DWC, the Aeros DWC bucket is very nice, and with the larger port in the top, it makes PH testing much easier
PH holds strong 6.0, yellow on the GHE liquid analog tester. Never ever use electronic PH pens, they are garbage. I stick with the basic TA liquid test tube PH tester
Day 16
Incredible growth, she is becoming a very strong plant. The stem on this one will be very thick I can already tell.
The environment is perfect for DWC cannabis
Day 17
Growing very well, no changes in the environment, just growing along
Day 18 - GROW NUTRIENTS INTRODUCED
DWC Pool change to Growing blend. I will post the details of the blend next week. 650ppm
6.0 PH, yellow on the tester holding nicely with new 650ppm growing blend
This will be the growing ppms for the next 5 weeks
Day 19
650ppm in pool, PH 6.0, all is growing well
Day 20
Began leaf tucking around the new limbs that are forming. This way the little limb leaves get the most light on their surfaces, encouraging the limbs to grow upward
Day 21
End of a great growing week!
Keeping the PH at 6.0, yellow. 20 hours light, 40-50% humidity is working well
@DeepWaterGrower, Yes! This one is growing very well. Last DWC change my water (alpine region) was 14 degrees and it shocked 4 of the fan leaves a little bit being too cold. It made a few of the leafs develop some spots, but they are still so healthy. When I was changing the bucket, I knew it was too cold, but wanted to see what would happen due to testing a theory I learned about while I was in Spain. I proved it true, always keep DWC water above 17 degrees when in young veg.
~10 more days and I will bend the stem. It will likely be going back and to the left this time. The way the seedling grew out of the root riot it is favoring that direction. We will see what the plant tells me. She is growing very fast. I am just leaf tucking and defoliating right now!
@Still_Smoq, this one is telling me to just leave her as the sugars are already developing, and the smell is quite intense for only ~50 days from seed. This is certainly going to be a strong strain, probably done around week 12.
@Still_Smoq, thanks! its really though the genetics that are showing. Im not doing anything special here, just letting her grow. Fastbuds always gives great advice on their websites about each strain. When reading about this strain, there are several very critical instructions to follow in order for it not to get nute burned or overgrown.
@michigrower, for sure, these are unreal buds, next level genetics from 2 years ago autos, combined with Professor Bruce Bugbee's advice, and this stands to be the best auto ive ever grown in DWC.
@NewOfficialDrillInvaders, Its a good one, very high in THC this one, I would grow photos, but these autos just get done so fast, and the quality is on point with @fast_buds
@Fast_Buds, Ive got a good amount of seeds to grow through, and chose this one first! Thanks to your vendor @MrHanfTopia for the quality Fast Buds seeds!
@GnomesAndStones, Thank you!! Yes, she is looking to be my best quality plant yet. I think this is due to the new Fastbuds genetics honestly. Ive not changed any technique, except I didnt bend the main stem down on this one (it grew too hard too fast), and im running 1/2 strength nutrients due to Fastbuds advice. The smell and resin stickyness is the most ive seen in an autoflower at 55 days.
