2020: Skip's 2-Tentin' Fast Strains: Fastberry, Skunk & Jack Herer

Nice, be interesting to see the difference between them.
Yours should be done about 3 weeks before mine.
It should be much faster growing I would assume.

That's the intent. I've never grown autos or fast-flowering before, so it will be an experience!

The only autoflower I've had any luck with is Honey Peach CBD.
It grows like Bamboo, was doing a solid 4" per day in stretch.
Have never grown the fast photo-periods, sounds like the perfect combo though as long as they dont retain the finickyness of the autoflower.

Just a small update. Here's how the plants are looking. I'm thinking about transplanting the FastBerry. I've never transplanted an auto before, so do you think now is a good time to do it? She's starting to look a little wilted, like she's overwatered, though that's definitely not the case. She'll be going in a 3 gallon fabric pot.

Here's my Jack and OG #1

I’d transplant the auto ASAP

Thanks! It's about time to start training her too. I'll re-pot her tonight and start LST once she's showed recovery.

 

[Pennywise]

How old is the plant?

 

[skipeye]

How old is the plant?

She went into soil 14 days ago.

 

[Pennywise]

Ok whatever training you have planned put it in place before 21 days, that will give the plant time to recover before it goes into flower.

Okay. Good to know!

 

[skipeye]

She's transplanted. I gave her lots of perlite to get those roots growin.

 

[Pennywise]

She looks happy!

I don't think the shock has set in yet for her.

 

[Pennywise]

She’ll be fine I think

If your ever unsure what the roots are doing, you can always wait till they dry out before a feeding. Slide out the root ball (when your in plastic pots) and take a lil look-a-roo at what’s going on in there.
But.. yes like penny said. I’d transplant

Yup! I think I clearly saw some roots were starting to gather at the bottom of the cup, so it was a good time to transplant. Thanks for the advice! Still testing out the theory of if you should transplant autos or start then in their destination pot.

 

[Backlipslide]

Lots of people are against it. A lot of people do it once there life. I’m interested in what you find out!

 

[skipeye]

Just an update. Things look pretty good. Fastberry took well to the transplant, however, did not like being LST. I think the string slipped and was holding down the new bud growth, so she looks a little funky. I'm thinking she'll grow out of it though. Jack and Skunk are looking beautiful. You can definitely tell these plants have some sativa.

Start them in their final pot

Yeah. I think I learned my lesson.

 

[Pennywise]

You don’t want to do anything to slow them down. Once they germinate the clock is ticking.
