Day 71
She is finishing up nicely. I suspect there are one or two more days left and I will cut her down. Pistils are 50% colored, and the trichome heads are all full and white.
Lights on 24 hours, cold temps for 48 hours now, the resin production is unreal, and the smell is the strongest ive ever smelled from an autoflower indoors.
Professor Bruce Bugbee from the University of Utah, space farming with NASA, shared very interesting research knowledge during a discussion I attended in the USA.
I have been using the new techniques I learned to grow even better Cannabis than I did before. I already grew top shelf killer buds, but with Professor Bugbee's techniques and advice if followed correctly will yield the best quality cannabis possible.
Day 72
Tomorrow will be her last day, she will be chopped after 96 hours of solid light, and sub 20 degrees temperatures. This is the strongest, most sticky, rock hard bud auto plant ive ever grown.
Uploaded some photos when I stopped the light for 3 minutes to capture photos, the buds are incredible! Thanks @Fast_Buds
@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.
