Fastbuds- Stardawg - First ever Auto/Dwc

So, I decided to stop being paranoid and hesitant and see what these Autoflowers and DWC is about. After seeing so much good advice on here from fellow members, I thought I'd start a diary. This week the plants will be in propogation until I can see routes through the Rootit Cubes (seen these advised in other members grows and so far so good, hold the correct amount of moisture without drowning the seed). Running purely PH water at 6.5 after using miniscule amount of Rhizo. I decided to go with Fastbuds Stardawg strain as its one of my all time favourites, so why not 👌 Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated people, stay blazed 💯

Day 1 of week 2.. really dont know how this plant is doing as I'm new to autos and DWC however , seems to to be growing.... Please , if anyone sees something that could be a diagnosis of a problem then then please let let me let me know guys , thick skinned haha... Week 2 Day 6: plants starting to fill out nicely now , one root has grown roughly 2" in length in the past 24 hours and there are now numerous roots poking through through the net pot dangling in the res :)

The little Dawg is coming on great , res change and some more nutes and it's started to open up. The difference in only 48 hours has really surprised me :) Day 3: seems like the little Dawg loves the res haha. .. doubled in width and grew 2cm in 48 hours , drank roughly 4 litres of water , poms were 350 then then dropped to 315 so it's definitely loving them nutes :) Day 4 : decided to do top my dawg and defoliate last night/this morning, came back in tonight and it's drank 2L of fluid and exploded with roots and perked right up.... I know it's it's classed as sin to top autos but i love to experiment and I've assumed if it it can grow this much in less than 21 days then then it should have enough time to heal and stretch some more before flower - well well that's my theory haha. .. All a learning curve for me :) Day 5: perked up since topping it yesterday and I'm positive i can see new leafs trying to poke through the top already so , I've applied some cablr ties to begin training it. Day 6: the little dawg seems to have took took the topping and training in its stride haha.... can see 2 new sets of leaves poking through the top, the plant stands roughly 12cm as it's topped and being trained , spans 20cm

Day 1: upped the ppm to 500 as this little dawg is consuming the notes. As you can see, this auto is acting like a photo, topped it 4 days ago and have 4 new shoots growing already , let's see how the next few days roll out :) Day 2: plant was showing signs of stress due to being topped and defoliation however , as as expected , the little dawg seems to be stretching whilst recovering , in 24 hours it's drank 1.5L of water and 120 ppm !!!!.... The journey continues ..... Day 3: little dawg seems to have have bounced back .. reduced the light to 250w and ppms by 200 for 48 hours and this is is where we're at... Day 4: seems like like lowering the nutes, light and res change iis helping the little dawn. .. Looks like it's had a nitrogen deficiency but It seems to be on the mend. Leave it another 24 before adding some some more nutes as it's taken a stretch overnight.

Week 5 day 1 - plant still seems to be stretching and reacting well to the training . Day 2 Excuse the poor quality pics , still using an old phone as apple haven't haven't got round to fixing fixing mine yet -wankers haha! Day 4 - new pics with iPhone, little dawg looks to be doing well :) Day 7: last day of veg for the Dawg , res change and light flip (600w bloom) tomorrow :)

Day 2 : officially flipped the lights today , fresh res and nutes.we shall see how she goes over the next next few days :) I would say it's reacted amazingly to being topped and partly mainlined !! Plant may stand less than 50cm (due to being topped) however , spans over 1Metre. Day 3: plant spans 1.4M , drank 120 ppms and roughly 6 litres of water.

And here we are so far , little Dawg will be barking soon haha. .. starting to fill out nicely :) Bud sites are popping up everywhere yet maintaining a nice nice even canopy, couldn't be be any happier with the progress of this little dawg, @fast_buds , I salute you !!

Day 2 : Plant is looking nice and healthy , will update pics later , as for today , snow man building with the little man :) Day 3 : ppms sitting at a stable 650 , little dawg is looking awesome, starting to bulk right up!! Day 4 : dawg drank 4 litres of water and 120 ppms overnight , upped ppm to 750. Day 5: This little dawg just keeps on drinking haha... Further stretch and bud sites starting to open up. Day 6: slight defoliation and tightened wires to open the inner branches

Day 60 : as I topped and trained the little dawg, I suspected it would add on a couple more weeks however , its looking awesome, time for the flower stretch and swell now :)

Day 63 : little dawg is still doing its thing, I think it's taken its final stretch and starting to swell :) Day 64: in 24 hours starting showing purple phenos. ... Everyday is is a joy with this little dawg, it's gonna be a big one !!... If you have been following my diary , skip back to week 3 and and compare lol... see how stressed it was !!... #Team @fast_buds

Starting to swell and sugar up , will be flushing in the next 7/10 days if things go to plan for at least a further 7/10 days. (However all this depends on how the plant grows over that period) . On further inspection, I have some foxtailing/callyxes on some buds , I'm new to autos so , do I have have a hermie? ? And ifso with autos, are these callyxes more likely to house seeds ?? . I've had foxtailing on a full chemdawg photo which turned out excellent in in the past, I just don't know whether to grow her out or chop it ? Went with my gut instinct and continued to grow her out and after after some reading , i think were all good so , began the flush today. Will upload more pics later.

Keep on top of your PH levels and room temps as it would appear auto are easily stressed in flower.
