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 🙃
