Nachtjasmin This was a freebie with my order. The excitement was especially high when I read the description of the strain :)
The little one had trouble shedding the seed coat and the membrane from the cotyledons. So I helped her a bit.
She's now in 14l hemp soil from Sonnenerde.
I'm very curious to see if it's overhyped or if really good results will come from this. I'm open to being pleasantly surprised ;)
If anyone has advice, tips, and tricks, feel free to share :D This is only my second grow and I have very little experience. I'm grateful for any point where I can improve!

Nachtjasmin She's thriving :)
Compared to her BPP sister that was sown at the same time, she's a bit slower, but I don't mind. It ultimately gives me more time for training methods since she's taking her time. Plus, unlike the BPP, she hasn't stretched and has no necrotic spots on the first leaves.

Nachtjasmin I tried LST for the first time. I think I'm still a bit rough at it.
I'm always open and grateful for constructive comments, criticism, and suggestions for improvement :)

Nachtjasmin For comparison, pictures with a lighter. Both FastBuds plants so far are quite disappointing. Shoots, at most (!) twice as long as my thumbnail and already stiff with the first signs of pre-flowering.
Just compare that with the Sunshine LSD Auto, which I grew in 20l in the summer and pretty much did everything wrong. That thing was a monster. Even someone who has been dealing with photoperiods for many years and advised me against autoflowers was very, very positively surprised by what that plant delivered under the most adverse conditions. The buds were so heavy that I had to prop everything up so it wouldn't topple over. The main cola alone was over 30cm. The effect was also spot on. Incredible plant.
And what do we have here? What is this going to be? A dwarf wonderland?
I'm pretty disappointed, but maybe a miracle will still happen. I now understand why autoflowers are discouraged indoors due to electricity costs/waste. This would be something for my balcony box in the summer but not for a 14l pot under 240 watts. After the cheap but fantastic Sunshine LSD Auto from 66seeds, I really expected more from breeders who specialize in autoflowers. If the yield turns out to be as tiny as what I have here in the pots, that's it for FastBuds. I still have a Blackberry Auto and a mix pack with five seeds. But it's not worth the expensive electricity prices just for that. I can go admire a miniature wonderland somewhere else.
If anyone has a tip on where to find similar auto strains like the Sunshine LSD, please share ;) It's good, but always just skunk flavor gets boring over time.

Nachtjasmin A few leaves trimmed off that were shading the wrong spots. Otherwise, just watered and realigned the soil hooks.
11/22. The stigmas are increasing now.

How much distance from the LED and how much PPFD/DLI would you recommend for me at this stage? Link to further technical data of the LED: https://www.led-tech.de/de/LIGHTNING-Basic-RED-240W-Pflanzenlampe-3500K

You're in pre flower stage.
DLI and that. You need a good lux meter. And knowledge. And if you're asking this. Then you really don't need to be getting into it
Until u understand 101s. How to bring a plant through different stages. DLI and fine running will come. Shit im still fine tunning 3yrs in. Different phenos require different stuff.
With that being a full gal. 16-17 hrs of light. 5-700 ppfd (keep 45 distance) as you're still in a growing phase. So, you want it to keep progressing. When the stretch (pre flower) has stopped u can give 1000ppfd canopy wide. Move to 30cm and push through with sugars and good pk boosters for heavy flowering. Don't let the soil substrate dry up in pre flower. Don't defol.
Feel free 2dm me if u want expansion on what's said. She Is looking good. So, as she comes into pre flower. Just be much more careful when feeding as it gets very sensitive at that stage.
Good luck.
