Gooeygrows his 1st autoflower !

Will look to start training ASAP if first stages of growth run smoothly. This is my favourite aspect of cannabis cultivation so I may have to adjust my approach given the unforgiving nature of auto flowering plants. Currently considering a 3rd node topping to promote a mainline V.S. simple LST and leaf tucking. I am curious how the plant will grow if left untouched however I would be lying to myself if I was to believe I could refrain from any tucking, bending or weaving!
After hours of unnecessary stressing about which day is the true Day 1 of a seed to harvest growth timeline... I cannot find a trustworthy source and as such have decided to start Day 1 in the Vegetative stage marked by when the seedlings push their helmets above ground (favourable in this circumstance given I planted the germinated seedlings relatively deep into the coco pellets).
โข100% germination rate
โขDay 1( D1) to be recorded from W1 of veg when seedling heads emerge from the jiffy pellet tops.

Even a small fan dries coco pellets out very quickly.
Made sure to try and water from the sides of the pellet to encourage root expansion.
