Day 36
LST complete yesterday, side branches are tied down
For this plant, I am letting it grow straight up like I grew Fastbuds Bruce Banner
This looks very much like Bruce Banner which is very exciting because Bruce Banner still remains tied with Pineapple Express for the most face melting autos ive ever grown
PPM are very low, I will be only tripart, there is enough Silicate sediment, and Cal Mag in the pool, leafs are very green
The plant is showing its female sex organs, and is approaching the flowering stage
Day 37
Expansive growth everywhere
The pool will be changed tomorro for pre-flowering nutrients
Day 38
Pre-flowering nutrients are installed, all is looking well
posted a video for the week
her leaves are very thick and mature. The leaves on the stem, the large fan leafs, have the hardest stems ive felt on an autoflower.
This is certainly a new generation of Autos from 2 years ago, the smell is becoming very nice
Day 39
I removed some more bottom brush from the plant, all those runt limbs that will only be larf are gone. I also removed one of the first limbs that was a runt.
This strain loves to be pruned, this is its 2nd bottom clear out and she always comes back with so much growth, now the top colas can all form nicely without the bottom waste
DWC very healthy, she is drinking about 3 litres a day right now
I am using a 1/2 strength pre-flower blend. It's the TA bottle measurements just cut in half. Ive purposely not let this one go above 800ppm due to Fastbuds advice that this one is particularly sensitive to nutrients.
Day 40
Growth explosion, everywhere has expanded
The leafs are very mature, slender Sativa traits
Uploaded some macro shots of the preflowers, they are very healthy
Day 41
Everything is going well, she is growing fast
Day 42
Huge increase in growth overnight, and she is drinking about 3 litres a day right now
This is thepreflower stretch phase
@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, 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.
@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!
