Fastbuds CC

Hello everyone, This is gonna be my second run.First time with autoflowering.Strain is called CC and it's a new and unreleased strain of Fastbuds.I'm also very excited about this.I would like to thank @growdiaries for such opportunity.I practically won these seeds trough GD with my first grow. I did a lot of research on both web and growdiaries.I decided to avoid transplant and topping for autos.I placed the seed in her final pot as soon as she past trough germination. Since i don't own a germination dome,i cut a 0.5L bottle to half and put it over seedling to keep humidity high.After first set of leaves,i raised the humidity of growtent to 65%. First 2 weeks will be under 72W Flourescent lamps.3rd week,i will switch to 400W MH since autos dont have a lot of time to veg. I will be using Biobizz nutrients for this grow.Next week i will feed them with Root Juice.

We started this week with a little Light stress. I set a seperate 20W CFL bulb for this girl but apparently i kept it too close to her and she started to show symptoms.I monitored the heat above leaves which was around 27 so heat wasn't the problem.I removed the CFL.She should be fine.No stunt or anything,She is by far the fastest of her sisters. Apparently,the marble kind of look is strain related.I've seen some other growers with same symptoms on this strain.I was thinking it's more of a enviromental effect. Anyway,she's doing super good. Day 13 - Growth was fine until today.She was the fastest amongst others but not anymore.Curling problem got worst.I literally have no idea.Temps are fine,wind is fine,light is fine.It keeps getting worst.We will see how she goes.Sent a mail to Fastbuds regarding the problem.They might have an idea.I was planning on topping her but not anymore i guess.

Fastbuds informed me about this strain being not stabilized.I believe it is just more sensitive to enviromental changes.Good thing is she keeps growing. Day 16 - Curling continues.I started to think it might be pH issue and fed the plant with pH'ed tap water and Root Juice.Runoff pH was around 5.8 so i don't really know what's happening here.Next week i'm gonna switch to HIDs so i better solve this issue before putting in more heat. Day 17 - I pruned the first set of leaves.They will not be getting enough light to produce buds.I removed the leaves day by day. Day 18 - I snapped her main stem while LSTing 😞 but i didn't give up and taped her right away with 2 toothpicks on each side.I wasn't expecting her to recover but hey,she's a winner!💪Although she has recovered,still having problems.She's showing symptoms of heat stress but temps are fine.She might do good at cooler conditions but i can't provide right now. Day 20 - New growth is looking ok.Leaves are coming along without curling.I won't give up on her and i believe she will be fine.Despite the fact that she's having troubles in her early stages,she still keeps up to other girls in garden which is amazing.

Day 23 - New growth is less effected by the heat.Temperatures inside the tent never reaches above 28 celcius but she's still showing heat stress symptoms.I will borrow a 600w HID with cooltube from a friend and will test her out with lower temperatures.Other than this,She's growing ok. Shoutout to @B4RNS for this great trellis idea.I only have 1 door in my tent so i can't set a scrog net in there.This idea solved my problem pretty good.I'm thinking about doing it again for my photoperiods.

Day 28 - So after i installed the cooltube and new 600W light,she is much better.Apparently she's sensitive to heat.If temps go above 27 celcius,she will start curling her leaves again.I did some defoliation with her.Still some of her budsites are really small due to broken mainstem.I might have to prune them if they don't catch up to others. Day 29 - I fed her with some light nutrients.Expecting here to really stretch this week. Day 32 - Day 34 - She's really bushy.I'm trying to keep here budsites open to light but everyday i took her out for little defoliation.She's well over the heat issue.Only difference i noticed apart from others is small leaves.She's starting to flower already.Still spreading her to trellis.I think she will stop stretching soon.

Day 35 - Her leaves are still small and she didn't really grow much last week.Since she's not showing any issues,i fed her with full nutes.I will watch and make my move depending on hers.If she keeps the same attitude,i flush her with plain water.If she blasts with growth,all will be good. Day 40 - Well,she looks much better now.Her leaves gets droopy sometimes but she's in much better condition now.Her buds might not get dense unless she surprises me though.I'm doing best i can to keep her in good condition.

Day 43 - She's really bushy.I defoliated her 2 times and she'still growing more and more leaves everywhere.She acts like she's overwatered but she's drinking all the water aswell.I will change my feed schedule on her.I will water her more frequently with less water. Day 49 - She's somehow stabilized at this droopy state.I don't actually know if it's because of genetics or not.No matter what i do,she doesn't get her leaves praying.Good thing is she keeps flowering everywhere.Her color is healthy.No signs of def/excess.I defoliated her early this week.I'm thinking that she doesn't really have a healthy root structure.That's causing the problems.

Day 53 - She's bulking up pretty alright even though she doesn't look healthy.She's also slow with trichome production.Therefore smell is not there yet.She's also maturing(pistils turning brown) earlier than other girls.Some leaves yellowing here and there.

Day 58 - She's really swelling this week.Smell is not something i can describe.Her pistils started to curl and turn brown earlier compared to other autos in my garden.I might start flushing her at the end of this week.I took some yellowing leaves off of her.Last feed,runoff had way too much ppm so i will try to lower the ppm around 800-1000 on next feed.

Day 65 - This girl is really amazing.She had a tough way up to this point.She was weak against heat,broken at mainstem,defoliated really hard.She's thriving now.Buds are really dense and getting bigger each day.She has over 30 buds growing.She's mid level trichome production.She's still shooting lots of pistils. Smell is not really strong.She smells like burnt food and chemicals.I'm not the best to describe the scents but i have never smelled something like this before.Not really sure good or bad.

Day 72 - She's bulking up pretty well.Trichome production is amazing.She's fading while she's closing to her harvest.Lots of new and white pistils still.It's amazing to see nature do it's work.This girl had a rough way up to this point and now she's thriving.I'm really curious about high.This girl is most likely to be my top yielder this run.

Day 78 - I was hoping to chop this girl around these days but she's blooming everywhere and still ripening.I will give her at least a week more.She's looking great.Denser buds i've ever seen.She has very few leaves on buds aswell which already makes me happy.Trichome production is also really great.Smell is the least aromatic. I fed her with 1ml/L Overdrive on this turn because she still have time and i don't want ppm to go low.She needs nutes to ripen.
