Day 50
Smooth and steady here, nothing new to report other than she is growing everywhere
No changes to the environment, she is getting settled in nicely for the flower phase
Added 5L to the DWC, she is growing very well
the leafs are becoming covered in resin, the buds are growing fast becoming puffy
Day 51
extreme growth all over the plant, the resin is growing on the leafs and buds
the plant is consistently consuming nutrients
Day 52
uploaded macro pics of the resin growing
all is smooth, feeding steady flower blend and watching her explode
Day 53
expansion everywhere, the buds are growing rapidly
smell is intense, very pungent and also fruity, the resin is very sticky
Day 54
she is growing very rapidly
the bud sites are expanding and becoming very large
she is drinking alot, I keep forcing water into the DWC 5L at a time a day
Day 55
DWC change for fresh flower nutrients
she is consuming many nutrients
Day 56
the smell is very intense, my commercial carbon filter and extractor are having no issue with the smell
the buds are very dense here
@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.
