Day 57
Growing very well. DWC change, 6.5 PH for the ending of flowering
this one will be done in about 20 more days, the new setup is working well for the one plant
The Aeros Plant It is nice, only 15 litres compared to my old 20 litre, I think this is better size as to not over grow the plant
Day 58
she consumed 6 litres in a day, incredible growth everywhere
this will be last week of flowering nutrients before the ripening/fruiting blend I will be using
PPMs in the pool are 700 and the plant seems to like it about there, it is craving phosphorus at the moment stacking resin on the buds
Day 59
the buds are expanding everywhere, the growth is immense
topping up the DWC daily until change happens end of this week. you want every root receptor to be covered in water for the most amount of time in this phase of flowering as she is uptaking everything at the moment.
Day 60
her buds have began to really explode, time to switch into the Ripening blend.
tomorrow I will let the DWC go dry, and then add the Ripen + Pro Bloom until the end of the grow
Day 61
Ripen blend installed, after 12 hours the smell has become much more intense. She is craving the Phosphorus right now.
drinking 5-6 litres a day during this fruiting phase, removed a few large fan leafs to allow for the light to penetrate deeper into the plant. The small lower bud sites are becoming enormous.
Day 62
Buds are swelling all over the plant, the resin is flowing big time. Removing a few fan leafs here and there to let more light deeper. The lower buds are so thick on this plant.
The smell is very intense, it looks like this one will finish as Fastbuds says 10-11 weeks. Great genetics!
Day 63
Finishing another week strong!
@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.
@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.
