She looks really good!! And definitely appears buds are ripening pretty fast!! All of my FastBuds have finished right around the 85 day mark, from sprout. I have never grown any Mephisto genetics yet
Most of mine take a lot longer because of how much training I do, salt build ups, and 16L pots. However, I’ve noticed my 3Wok is maturing really quickly to the point it’s noticeable every day. I think it’s because I prevented salt build ups completely for her. The other two girls are slower but I’m certain it’s from lack of oxygen because they’re in straight coco. My strawberry nuggets is growing dramatically fast too. She’s around 13 days and I’m due to transplant her. I am going to purchase an airpot today for the first time. I use fabric pots and it’s easier to build salts in them if you water manually, because the salts have to dissolve out the bottom of the fabric. But, with airpots they have plenty of drainage at the bottom so it will be easier. Tbh I don’t think I’ll have to deal with salt build ups again as long as I’m in coco with perlite. I’m gonna switch her over to “overdrive” next week I think. That’s when she goes into week five of flower. From there, I will stop big bud. I’ve noticed this time around from dropping my nitrogen dramatically, and increasing p and k, the buds mature faster and definitely get fatter. So this will be my route from now on. My fastbud twsters just arrived too, so I’m hoping I can pop one tonight. I have four plants on the go, and 3Wok is taking the most space because of her training width wise. So once she’s ready to go, my strawberry nuggets will take her place and as the testers get a bit older, my jammy dodgers and purple nuggets should be finishing up. That way, there is plenty more space. If I have enough space I’ll pop a Bruce banner too. Are u using 3gal / 12l pots?
I use 3, 5 and 56 days into a grow in 7 gallons. 7 gallons so far seems overkill for an auto. Other than not having to water/feed as much
I used a 20gal dual pot for the two WTF I did and I loved it lol. The not having to worry about the moisture content nearly as much is a huge plus for me, same with the single plants in 10gal pots lol. I can be a bit absent minded, so having a forgiving amount of soil if I forget to water is a huge plus for me. They finished in 74 and 73 days, so on the faster end of things so far. They were only topped once though. I think the topping/multiple toppings probably has a lot more effect on that (extending veg/grow time) than pot size. Some if the real big XXL strains could probably utilize the bigger pot size better as well, but also multiple plants per pot is an option too. Idk I'm baked and forgot my point lmao. But I'm also in soil, I kinda feel like with coco you can definitely get bigger plants with a smaller volume of soil just due to the hydro nature of the medium. Again, baked and rambling
You will get a bigger plant in a 7 gallon, I have grown many in 3,5,7 Green Bean grew in 10s and they were monsters.I used a 20gal dual pot for the two WTF I did and I loved it lol.

If it gets over 70% it will somtimes clog the fileter with water and then it has to be dried out. I had this happen in the past.
