Well i had to start a second blog because i can't have more that 25 images in one blog and not sure how to add more to the same blog.
First Part here: https://www.autoflower.net/forums/ubs/newbie-first-grow-rdwc-fastbuds-rhino-ryder.179/
End of week 8 May 12. On May 9th they seemed to have slowed/stopped their stretch so i changed nutes to 50% GH recommended Mid-bloom strength.
Temps 80-82 RH 60-62. The smallest of them #3 was the first into flower and the Largest one #2 was last to flower.
#1 topshot #2 topshot #3 here is a wide shot

May 22 middle of week 10. Temp 80-83 RH 51-55. Nutrient strength 60% GH recommended
I learned that the VPD chart that i was referencing was incorrect for flower phase. No damage done to the plants.
Did some under canopy clean up, removing dried leaves and itty bitty growth, trying to help out my De-humdifiers. Also set my exhaust fan to turn on at 84 for better humidity stabilization.
My PH was dropping for the last 2-3 days, so today when I did my nute change i ran roughly 6 -7 gallons of PH 6.0 water through my hydroton around the stalks. Seems back to normal cause my PH is on the rise like normal after a fresh nute change.
I think/guess a couple more weeks maybe til harvest.
Had to do a little zip tie light hanger to raise the lights higher the colas seem to still be stretching a bit

May 31 Middle of week 11. Temp 79 RH 51-55. Nute strength 50% GH recommended Mid bloom.
So plants started stressing too much at 83 so i was able to bring temps down to 79 keeping the RH 51-55.
I changed back to 50% nute strength because the plants in bank 2 (#2 & #3) were showing tip burn.
Plant #1 has some leaf burn so i gave her a small dose of cal/mag. Could have been the heat stress also not sure.
I reposition the lights a couple of times a day to help with uniform DLI
Also added netting to help corral the buds, it can be seen in the wide shot

June 7 Middle of week 12. Temps 79-80 RH 51-55 Switched to 50% GH recommended Late flower strength. EC 1.0
Buds are starting to fatten up on Plants 2 and 3
Plant 1 isn't fattening yet but she has lots of hair thingies, shot from the backside, she's on the right
I'm figuring a couple more weeks for #2 and #3. Plant #1 probably 3 more weeks.
Stalks seem big. Thinks it's the rain halos i used up until flower. #1 #2 #3 Those are 6" net pots
Top shots #1 #2 #3 wide shot

EC has been rising on plants 2 & 3 and PH is dropping. They seem to be slowing down on the feeding. Still drinking lots though.
Buds are Frosting: Plant 2 Plant 3
EC just started Rising and PH dropping on Plant 1. Here is her bud shot
Plant #1 #2 #3 wide shot
Figuring around 2 more weeks for plants 2 & 3 and at least 3 weeks for plant #3 until harvest.

Plant #3 is beginning to Amber i am thinking i may just harvest tops on July 1, and let the popcorn mature a bit more.
#3 not very good trike shots
Plant #2 is frosty with hints of amber. I may Harvest her tops July 3 at all cloudy.
#2 Kinda better trike shots
Plant #1 has at least 2 weeks left to fatten and ripen. Will switch from ripen to flush on June 30.

July 6th Start of week 17. Temps 79-80 Rh 49-52
Plant #1 is being flushed and fattening up Tentative harvest date for tops July 11 or 12
Plant #2 had her tops taken July 3 after probably gonna take the popcorn on July 8
Plant #3 had her tops taken July 1 after and her popcorn July 4
I have smoked some of the smaller buds and she has some good potency and leaves a nice white ash. I used Flawless Finish by Advanced Nutrients.

Here is the harvest so far from Plant #3 and Tops of plant #2
Tops
Some smaller stuff
and some small keepers
Once they dry i will try and get a weight on good buds for each plant.
Here was the trim that went to a candy maker

Week 17-18
Plants #2 and #3 yielded 15.25 ounces of good dried bud, i didn't weigh the trim.
Plant #1 is getting close. Some of the cola's look to be still bulking up and her trikes are beginning to amber. She is weak in the stems so i had to intervene with support.
She's not gonna be winning any beauty contests lol
