Day 29
Growth is very rapid, the plant has become a nice ball shrub from the leaf tucking and training
DWC will get changed tomorrow, she is drinking alot, maybe 2L a day
PH nailed at 6.0, ppms start at 700 and go as low as 500 when about to change the pool
I will be careful with water temperature. It is very cold here already up in the mountains
Day 30
Growth is very nice. The DWC change went very well, and the plant is still loving the above nutrient mix. Remember to mix properly! Micro first, and really stir it in, then your others, stir them in very well, followed by your powder solution, stir it in very well, usually for 2-3 minutes in the bucket or 10L bottle.
I like the shape of the plant Ive trained with basic leaf tucking and defoliation
PH is solid steady at 6.0, yellow colour on the test
Day 31
Growth is extreme in every direction. all limbs are growing upward and outward
Still determining which training methods I will use for this one
Just leaf tucking now for the shape to form
Day 32
added 3L to the DWC, she is consuming nutrients really well... going in its ~680 ppm, testing 18 hours later, 400ppm
this is a very hungry plant!
still leaf tucking the main fan leafs for the branches to grow upward, is working very well
defoliated the under side of the plant, removed all 1st and 2nd limb node leafs and branches, they will only runt out and grow larf in the long run.
Day 33
Extreme growth after defoliation, added 2.5 Litres to the DWC, the plant is drinking 2-2.5 litres a day
uploaded video of the setup and plant
Day 34
Growing very well, expanding everywhere. I added 2 litres to the DWC.
Day 35
Growing well, performed some light LST on the lower limbs to expand a bit
Added 3 Litres to the DWC, this plant eats alot of nutrients
@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.
