Attempting a staggered grow

Kali_flauer 07/07/26 - day 1 of my new mystery girls' life above the soil! 🌱 Glad to see she made it 😁. Light is currently 160 PPFD where she is, it's a little strong for a seedling but I think she will adjust quickly. That's all I have for now, I'll update more later this week as she progresses through the early stages of life. Thank you for checking this out! Day 2. I messed up today and left the dome I had on her a little too long. She grew up into it in just the time I was at work, and when I came home she was smooshed against the top of it and it was starting to force her head to tilt over. Also my camera wouldn't focus on her so she gets a close-up already. Day 3. Looking good, I remembered to flip her around so both sides get light 👌 Day 4. She's growing! Day 5. Still growing. Day 6. I have no idea what happened, but when I came home today she was completely bent over laying on the ground with her leaves still upright 🤔. I have no idea what happened to her that made her do that. She wasn't over/under watered, she had a healthy amount of light, and I don't think she would be alive if someone stepped on her. It will forever be a mystery.

Kali_flauer 07/14/26 - Day 8. She is still hanging in there after whatever ill fate befell her yesterday. She's completely bent over but looks healthy 🤷‍♂️. I guess I'll try to stay positive and consider this free early LST 😂. As always, I'm curious to see how she turns out. I've grown many Fastbuds strains that all turned out pretty good, but this is my first RF3 to compare to. I'm hoping for a step up in overall potential! Day 9. She is fully upright and looking good! Day 10. I cleared many plants out of the grow room, so she now has extra space. Day 11. Going strong! Day 12. Definitely growing enough to get topped. I might do a sharp lateral LST if she gets lanky enough, but either way I'm giving her some more time. Day 13. Still going. Next week will be the real test to see how she handles heat. Day 14. If you couldn't tell by today's photo, it's getting a little challenging to take photos in the grow area due to 5 plants trying to fit in a 2'x3' area 😅 Thank you for checking this out, and have a great grow 🤙

Kali_flauer 07/21/26 - Day 15. It's only been 2 full weeks and she is already wider than her 3 gallon pot! I have also been overwatering her a bit but it doesn't seem to bother her in the slightest 💪. I will probably have to put her on a platform soon so she doesn't disappear behind my sativas. Day 16. This will possibly be the earliest I ever try to top an autoflower. If she is able to shrug off the stress like many others before her, then this may well be the best start I've had with any of my girls! Day 17. Zero stress or problems that I can see from getting topped at 16 days. So far so good this RF3 is making a name for herself! Day 18. She is still tolerating the heat and stress like a boss 💪 Day 20. I guess I just forgot yesterday? Damn I hate being a living stereotype of a stoner 😂. She looks great though, growing nice and bushy but pretty big leaves. Day 21. She is bursting with growth! But I think I made a mistake not waiting longer to start this one. Her stretch is only 2 weeks away (more or less) and I definitely don't have any plants that will be ready for harvest by then. She may not end up being as substantial as I had hoped, but I will still appreciate anything she provides 🙏. Thank you for checking this diary out, and have a good one 🤙

Kali_flauer 07/28/26 - 22 days from germination and the start of week 4. I swear that I have the worst luck when it comes to my girls breaking their own branches 🙃 Day 23. She's still looking strong even after losing a branch. Hopefully that issue was a one-off and she will continue to do well! Day 24. I'm definitely running out of room under this light. I should have probably started her another week or 2 later 😬. We shall see what happens. Day 25. She took a heavy feeding, the stretch might not be far off. I'm going to be just a teensy bit ABSOLUTELY FUCKED if she more than doubles in size. Day 26. Still no preflowers yet, so that had me hopeful that she won't stretch for a little while longer. A little while doesn't at all solve my problem, but will give me more time to think of ideas. Day 27. Still no visible stress from the heat or the strong light. This RF3 is a champ so far other than the self-broken branch 💪 Day 28. She is getting biiiiiig! At 28 days old, she already has a 7 fingered fan leaf that's bigger than my hand! Still no preflowers or stretch quite yet.

Kali_flauer 08/04/26 - Day 29. Welcome to another week of wondering if this one will ever start showing preflowers 🤔. She's doing great otherwise, just a little strange that she's taking so long. Might be the heat and light cycle, who knows. Day 30. Still not a lot to update. It's so crowded that it's not even worth it for me to move anyone else out of the way anymore. I'm too likely to break another girls branches moving them around. Day 31. I forgot about the golden rule to life: if something isn't happening, complain and it will 😂. Needless to say, her stretch started today 💪 Day 32. Biiiiiig stretch! Day 33. She grow. Day 34. She is still stretching, and is now burdened with the task of helping prop up Sour Pebbles from my other indoor diary 😬. Day 35. You probably can't even tell what parts of today's photo are her. She is definitely drowning in this room and no relief is in sight. I just hope she stays compact and that I can get Sour Pebbles or Amnesia Z outta here soon!

Kali_flauer 08/11/26 - Day 36. I should name her Waldo, only because looking for her in the grow room is like the game with the same namesake 😂. So far so good her stretch isn't giving me too much trouble. I'm hoping she will be more indica dominant and will stay compact. Wild that it took her 5 full weeks before she started showing preflowers. Day 37. She's already taller than Amnesia Z from my other diary 🤭 Day 38. Woke up this morning to find a branch on the ground. What the fuck dude!? No training clips, no LST, nothing was leaning against that branch. It was thick where it snapped too. I swear I have the worst luck with this! 🤬 Day 39. If you couldn't tell from the photo, I shuffled my RF3 with AZ from my other diary so she gets a little more light. Not much else to update. No new broken branches today at least. Day 40. So... I may have given her the wrong nutrients on accident 🤦‍♂️. The simple act of moving her around made me forget which plant was which long enough to completely mess that up. We'll see how she does with about 1/4th the Nitrogen she's supposed to get and 1.5x the amount of PK. Day 41. The good lady gets 2 photos today, because of her biiiiiig stretch 💪 Day 42. She has started stacking bud sites, so I'm pretty sure she's about done stretching? Even at her current size she will be pretty tall in my book. Can't wait for her traits to show up so I can start guessing her secret identity 🧐 Thanks for checking this out, and have a great grow 🤙

Kali_flauer 08/18/26 - Day 43. She is still getting taller by the day! She has a lot of spacing between nodes, but she is still pumping out bud sites like nobody's business! Day 44. Starting to defoliate her some more to make sure bud sites are either getting enough light, or are being removed completely if they are too low and not getting enough light. That's pretty much it, otherwise she still just stacking 💪.
