Sorry Barney's Farm. I wanted to grow one of your femenized seeds this round. But I need a faster grow time due to a possible move in three months. So I went with a 420fastbuds autoflowering: Stardawg. She popped after 24 hour soak and three days in soil. She needed help taking her she'll off. It's possible I was impatient and took it off... Under a 300w diual spectrum light. Here we go! I'm excited!

Raised light, as medium dried out fast. I water when pot gets light. I spray mist when surface is wind dried to keep humidity correct. So far ok.

Transplanted. She took to it very well. Keeping the 300w cfl until she gets a little bigger. Then swapping over to the led. Just a PC fan right now, will kick in the bigger ventilation when it's time. So far so good to start this week. I have been lazy measuring her. She's probably about15-20cm

She's showing her flower points. It's going to be a medium/small size plant unless I get surprise growth. But looking at other journals... Seems normal for this seed/genetic. I'm not giving correct measurements on lights and plant size, just estimates... Kind of not motivated due to world events.

Don't trust my lamp to plant height. I'm guessing. I did measure my plant and she's at 45 cm. Soil to top. So far so good. I did some light pruning to remove a total of three leaves from strategic points. I see no signs of any problems. This week marks the week I'm starting to see the white little hairs start to pop out from flower sight. I hope she kicks into gear now. I'd like to harvest end of April.

I'm having a wierd droopping problem. Other than that no sick leaves, growing good. End week 7: wow, most challenging week so far. She is VERY VERY sensitive to watering. And drinks A LOT this week. All week she did extreme drooping. I water, and she bounces up. Two days later, more drooping. I changed her environment. That is, raised lights, took bottom can fan off line, using negative suck through exhaust fan only. Regulated temps to steady 22-25C. And that seemed to help but shortly after... She just dropped every single leaf, it almost looked like she lost them all. All I saw were branches and withered leaves (at night, in day she was fine). So I grabbed more water, let her have it, and poof... She's back to normal... So odd... I had about 4 major drooping days... I feel it might have stunted her a bit. I feel a week behind, but I kept up actively and We shall see how this week does.

How to fix a droopy plant. When I water 2l she perks up all day, next day ok. Next day (2 days total) she is droopy. Should I add more water when she is droopy? The soil is still moist, I don't want to over water. What could be causing this? No bad leaves, all green and healthy.

Droopy leaves can be both over or under watering issue , so a wet or a dry soil after 2 days can be a sign of one of these 2 issues.

I fixed my drooping problem. It was underwatering... Even though she was moist to touch, she drinks heavy! And she was very droopy. One day I opened my tent and saw nothing but branches and shrivled leaves ... I've never seen anything so extreme or picky before! BE WARNED FELLOW STARDAWG GROWERS! she needs to drink slot in flower! That set me back a bit, plus, my soil is compacted over time, the soil is now only 10 liters, out of 20l, and I folded the soft pot in half (15l pot)... Not.a big deal, normal, but she sunk so deep in soil I can't top feed because she is so low... Again, none of this is a problem. Just alarming, and a transition that can stress her for a f w days, bit like all my grows, she will adapt and continue. I like the growth and cola sites so far, a lot bigger than I thought. I pruned two bottom low producing branches. She is perky and gained some bud growth. ***I am still shocked! I have not ran into any unhealthy yellowing leaves(just two small ones from very bottom. Very normal).*** Good genetic so far!

Week 8 total, week 4 flower on this auto. Most people ready to harvest soon. I feel like I stalled out. Everything is green and fine. No disease. However, my pot soil has compacted half it's size over this time. Should I add soil or just be patient? Fabric pot.

The fabric pot shouldn’t be bleeding out soil, at least definitely not to an extent where half the contents are gone through drainage. The only explanation I can think of is you left the soil really really loose when transplanting into the pot and the water just reduced the contents to what it should be. Did you lightly pack the soil? I usually use like a one gallon pot filled with some soil and use it’s natural weight to gently pack the soil a bit so you don’t get that sinking effect, but it isn’t packed so tightly your roots won’t spread and breath. I don’t think adding soil is the end of the world provided your not burying any stems growing out from the main. If your that far into flower you may just wanna bite the bullet on it. I doubt the soil will get any lower if compacting was your issue, and the roots are pretty much done development at this point so they won’t be looking to spread much if at all as far as I know. Either way will be fine imo. Just if you wanna use your resources.

Week 9 start: The drooping is fixed, I water every two days. She is a thirsty beast. She is a slow grower. I won't be harvesting week 9. She is pushing a lot oh white hairs growth and fattening her buds now. She scared me week 8 by not moving, now she's kicking it in gear. There is a faint sweet plant odor that seeps out. No signs of dying leaves. Great health so far. I lolipopped and trimmed last week. Took off young unintetedting branches with weak flower and removed leaves. Had about two bag fulls, she was a full plant! I like her final size, perfect for my tent, not to big, not too small for an auto.

Week 10 she's gained a little more weight on buds, and I see "oily" looking leaves with small baby trichomes coming on. She really is a slow flower. FastBuds420... More like Slowbuds420. Ehehe. In any case, she is very healthy, no sick leaves. I removed leaves and exposed as many bud sites. I top dressed with flower (p/k heavy) rich soil. I hope it gets her fatter and pushes for some faster growth... **End week: She is just now packing weight and growing trichomes. She smells stronger and is in great health. I took some underperforming flowers off with a few trichomes. Wet young bud. Usually trash... But I Vaped it just for kicks. I was shocked with a euphoric happy and calming body high last night.... Holy crap! This means the real dried nugs going to be 🔥

Week 7 flower. Week 11 total. Well she is spot on as far as regular flowering goes, but not ready soon. I think I chose fastbud's slowest genetic. Oh well. I think she's going to be worth the wait. This week we see lots of weight put on and trichome production. I have been removing leaves every other day. Strategically remove for new bud growth, plus she's incredibly leafy. I increased nutes a bit. She smells strong like candy lemons... Or sweet lemons, hard to explain, but had to put carbon filter on extraction now to keep smell in tent. Other than that all is strong n good.

Here we go , start of week 12. I have been removing leaves every day. Fist full every day for last three days. I still have a lot of leafy buds. Nothing else new except last week was her put on weight week. This, I hope, is put on more trichomes and turn orange week. I have a feeling this auto is going to be my longest grow time...

Final update. She has cured fully. She was not a strain easy to make extracts. I found the perfect high with a vape and bong cooled. Hits fast, intense. ... It's spacey... Very empty head void space. Can produce a very focused singular thought process but will make you spaced out dumb. Lol. It is not too psychadelique. I had a few mental images and the deep inner thought moments. It won't enhance senses too much, she leaned on the indica knock out sleep side. And I sleep good. Makes me tired in day if I smoke morning, but it helps fight annoying stress in morning. It melts stress and anxiety and I recommend for muscle relax. Feels more medical than recreational. 3.5/5 for me, good stuff, solid , not my kind of high. But glad to have discovered. If you like space out weed, it's here. Good sweet citrus taste. Turns bong water sweet

I feel I could harvest now, and am in the early harvest zone. But I want to see more orange hairs. So I will wait three more days to a week. I cut two of the smaller nugs to dry early.

***THIS IS ACTUALLY A HARVEST WEEK**** I will post final week when cured. It's not ready to rate. So far buds are dense, but oddly bushy. Lots of vegitation, not as much trich production. But, gotta test it when it's ready to see how it goes.
