Day 64
really finishing up nicely, she is very thick
The ripening blend is doing its job, the leafs are starting their fade a bit
This strain loves DWC, super fast growth and development, thanks @Fast_Buds
Day 65
smooth and steady, she is up to drinking 6L a day now
buds are covered in trichomes
Day 66
trichomes are looking 90% white all over the side buds
continues to amaze me daily, with the 6L drinking
the buds are swelling up, i see a few pistils tips starting to turn pink
keeping the temps and the humidity low, 40% humidity
Day 67
temps low, 21, 40% humidity is causing massive terpene development, the buds are pouring out resin
captured a photo while lights were off
Day 68
She is finishing up nicely, changed the DWC for fresh ripening blend, this will be the last pool for the lady
The pistils are about 30% brown, trichomes are all white all over. Maybe 2-3 days left.
Day 69
The buds are maturing fast, we are in the harvest window. The colas are rock solid, and they are the most sticky ive ever grown from autoflower.
Pistils are about 50% pink/orange/brown - trichomes are all white, not seeing any clear.
adjusting to lights on 24x7, temperature is low, 20 degrees and ive got the humidity about 45% - time to overdrive and preserve terpenes with the low temps. easy for low temps here, its already -4 outside, my metal air intake hose is very cold drawing in air from outside.
Will likely chop the plant tomorrow or the next day, looking to be about perfect - these are next level genetics

Day 70
Finishing another week strong, she will likely be cut tomorrow, pistils about 50% pink orange brown
she is enjoying the 24/7 light and cold temps, the buds are getting more covered in resin glands/trichomes
@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.
