Day 43
Extreme growth, she is expanding all over
I gave her the final 6L of preflowering nutrients, and I think I will be changing over to the full flower blend. I will change and clean the DWC before.
PH solid yellow always, really great smell
Day 44
Expansion everywhere, main grew about 5cm overnight
the stretch is starting, her side limbs are reaching upward
she is growing very well
Day 45
Today she gets a huge haircut, 90% of those lower leafs and little larf branches were removed
Her bud sites are forming very well
She is consuming 3.5 litres a day right now
The foliar health is incredible, you will notice she is at her max for nutrients, 700ppm is the ceiling it looks like
Day 46
extreme expansion overnight after haircut
The resin is already growing on the sugar leafs
Day 47
The smell is so strong, I have never smelled something this strong from an auto in a tent before... smells like a photo grown outside
Flowering is starting very nicely, her bud pistils are shooting out everywhere wanting pollen.. not gonna happen, no pollen anywhere nearby!
PH dead on 6.0, yellow always
The bud sites are stretching, like fastbuds said in their write up, this one takes a bit longer to veg, but is worth it! I can tell because the resin smells like straight diesel fuel
Day 48
she is just exploding all over, her bud sites are doubling in size every day right now
the legs are stretching, its amazing to see, grew 6cm overnight, she is drinking more, almost 5 litres gone in a day
this is the most exciting part of the grow im my opinion, each day you can see real development. The resin is already growing so thick on this one.
Day 49
Whenever Fastbuds gives guidelines on their strains, I make sure to read Sebastian's write up every time, multiple times. They always include beneficial grow tips that are facts. The reason why this plant is growing exceptionally well is because of Fastbuds strain specific advice on the website.
@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.
