The discolouring of the leaves from the past days has seemed to have reduced, I will keep my eyes on it still Now there's slight greening on the perlite, I'm fairly sure it's algae, I've cleaned all my water pots, sprayers n stuff. I've churned the coco over, I will look into how to fix this... --- Day 9 --- 12/05/2021 Seedling's has grown in height slightly overnight she's now around 6cm The leaves has yet again grown considerably, about 3cm long each now Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 100ml of 23C, 450PPM, 6.1PH water with the above nutrients The greening on the perlite is still around, not as bad as it was, I'll continue to keep my eye on it. --- Day 10 --- 13/05/2021 Seedling's has grown in height slightly overnight she's now around 7cm The leaves have grown about 1.5cm overnight, to around 4.5cm each Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 150ml of 23C, 450PPM, 6.1PH water with the above nutrients The greening on the perlite isn't as bad as it has been, but I feel that it will come back. --- Day 11 --- 14/05/2021 Seedling's has grown in height slightly overnight she's now around 7cm The leaves have grown to around 5cm each Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 300ml of 23C, 450PPM, 6.1PH water with the above nutrients The new leaves are growing up and out well, they're growing fast --- Day 12 --- 15/05/2021 Looking at her this morning, she's still around 7cm tall, but her first leaves are about 6.5cm long now. They're also growing up and out more and more. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 300ml of 23C, 450PPM, 6.1PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 13 --- 16/05/2021 Shes grown overnight again, she's about 7.5cm tall Her new leaves are growing great. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 1l of 23C, 450PPM, 6.1PH water with the above nutrients She really really was thirsty, wasn't expecting her to drink a litre. EDIT: Later this day, her leaves started to droop. I mean droop droop, really hard almost vertically flat against her stalk. I'm fairly sure I over watered her. I think 1L is a bit much for just yet. --- Day 14 --- 17/05/2021 Shes slowly starting to thicken up a bit, her main stalk is much wider than it was, her leaves have risen up against from yesterday's mistake. She's about 8cm now, I can see alot of brand new leaves just starting to grow. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 450PPM, 6.1PH water with the above nutrients

--- Day 15 --- 18/05/2021 There's more new leaves poking out, theyre all growing more and more each Day. She's about 8.5cm now, her first 3 finger leaves are getting really big now. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 16 --- 18/05/2021 She's definitely getting bigger, it's more noticeable in the leaves beneath the top leaves, although they're kinda hidden. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 17 --- 20/05/2021 Her growth seems to be slowing down a bit, I'm not sure if it's getting slower, or just that she's much bigger to the point than any changes aren't as noticible. I'm also fairly sure I got a really really faint smell when I opened the tent today. Putting my nose almost up against her I can smell a very very very faint smell. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 18 --- 21/05/2021 She still doesn't seem to have grown really at all in the past few days, I'm hoping she's just rooting out ready for a growth explosion. The smell is definitely getting stronger. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 19 --- 22/05/2021 She still doesn't seek to be growing all that much, I'm hoping she's still putting all her energy into root growing, and she'll explode in the next couple of days. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 20 --- 23/05/2021 Completely forgot to take a proper photo for today, like an idiot... Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 21 --- 24/05/2021 Shes started to show an odd kind of yellowing, on one blade of a single leaf, everywhere else looks fine, I will keep my eye on it incase it starts popping up other places. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients

--- Day 22 --- 25/05/2021 She's definitely growing, her stalk is getting bigger, she's getting wider and her leaves are getting bigger. The smell is becoming more and more apparent. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 23 --- 26/05/2021 That yellowing seems to be fading more and more, yet again more growth. She's started to really kick off. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 24 --- 27/05/2021 That yellowing is almost gone now, she's gotten much bigger again. She's 33cm across now and about 15cm tall. I also had to fold the sides of the pot down even more as the leaves are pushing up against them and being held back. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 500ml of 23C, 500PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 25 --- 28/05/2021 She's growing more steadily now, and the smell is getting stronger. I've adjusted the light to correct for the growth of the plant and turned it from 60% power to 100% power. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 1l of 23C, 600PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 26 --- 29/05/2021 She's growing steadily, the yellowing is gone. She seems to be liking the full power light and the litre watering. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 1l of 23C, 600PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 27 --- 30/05/2021 She's really growing well, the watering is good and the light is going well, I think I'm going to LST her tomorrow. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 1l of 23C, 600PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 28 --- 31/05/2021 So I've LST'd her today. I used some cheap pipe cleaners from Amazon, put one about 1cm from the bottom, as a support. And the second one is around the 3rd node location, pulling her right the way down. I could have brought her lower down, but it just didn't feel right, I kept bring her down and down, she felt like she was going to snap so I stopped. Gently rehydrated the top layer of coco with 1l of 23C, 600PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients.

--- Day 29 --- 01/06/2021 I think she's died :( I pushed her too far with the LST yesterday, everything seemed fine and well. I checked on her this morning to find that she's snapped, the main stem had snapped in half. I'm pretty sure she won't recover, all the leaves are wilted and dead looking. I tried my best in a hurried panic to stick her together as best I could and tape around her with the only tape I could find, rainbow unicorn tape from my girlfriend 🙄. Sadly, I don't think she's going to go any further 😔 In a sad attempt to keep her alive, I've watered her again with 1l of 23C, 600PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 30 --- 02/06/2021 I really think she's died, she's gone this awful dead colour, her leaves are crispy and she's lost her smell. I tried to use glue to reinforce the snapped part back on, but I don't think it's worked. Im going to give her 48 hours, if she just completely dies, I will try again. Im just hoping she will pull through. I've watered her again with 1l of 23C, 700PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 31 --- 03/06/2021 So against all odds, I think she's pulled through somehow? Her colour has returned and she seems to be doing okay, i came in this morning to find the part that had snapped off, completely separated and in the plant pot. Effectively I've accidentally hard-core topped her. So I've taken away the broken off part, I know now there is no way to reattach it, and binned it. Im really hoping she's going to keep going well. But we will see. I know this will majorly majorly affect my yield, but out of respect and pride for my first grow, I will continue. I've watered her again with 1l of 23C, 700PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 32 --- 04/06/2021 Shes looking much healthier, I have no clue how she pulled through, I really don't know 🙏 I'm going to be watcher her like a hawk, I put a new bull fan in there blowing on her leaves from above to try and help. I've watered her again with 1l of 23C, 700PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 33 --- 05/06/2021 So I've noticed a couple of leaves weee overlapping, and as I moved them, there was an odd white burn like mark left on the bottom leaf. I have a feeling this is nute burn from where the water is either evaporating or otherwise escaping the bottom leaf and getting stuck on top of itself. I've watered her again with 1l of 23C, 800PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 34 --- 06/06/2021 So shes seems to be getting back on track despite the horrifc events of this week. Her smell has come back, her colour is back and she's starting to grow bigger and bigger again. I've watered her again with 1l of 23C, 800PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 35 --- 07/06/2021 She's back to her usual again, today was standard. Decent growth, I think I'll need to start watering 2L soon. I've watered her again with 1l of 23C, 800PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients.

--- Day 36 --- 08/06/2021 Not much growth today, but it's hard to tell. I'm going to start watering more tomorrow with more nutes. Her smell is getting stronger though. I've watered her again with 1l of 23C, 800PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 37 -- 09/06/2021 She's doing alright, a little bit more growth, she's starting to smell stronger. Forgot to take a photo today, whoops 😅 I've watered her again with 1l of 23C, 800PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 38 --- 10/06/2021 So shes grown a decent amount overnight, she's taller than she was, she's about 35cm tall now. I'm going to start watering her more from here on out. I've watered her again with 2l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients. --- Day 39 --- 11/06/2021 Yet again, she's grown a decent amount overnight, I think she's enjoying the 2l. I don't think there's much I will change over the next few days as all is going well. I've watered her again with 2l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 40 --- 12/06/2021 Shes quite alot bigger now, and she's starting to smell quite strong. Shes alot taller than she was yesterday, and shes filling the tent quickly... I might need to get a bigger tent soon. I've watered her again with 2l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 41 --- 13/06/2021 She's grown from 40cm to 46cm overnight, she's really starting to get big now. I might need to get a bigger tent. I'm going to start watering her 3l starting week 7. I've watered her again with 2l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 42 --- 14/06/2021 Today is the last day of week 6, she's looking really good. Her smell is strong, her leaves are green and she's just overall really happy. She's now 48cm/19" tall. Shes getting decent run off now too, I measured it at 700PPM. Ive decided I am going to water 3L starting week 7. I've watered her again with 2l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients

--- Day 43 --- 15/06/2021 Starting to water 3L today, she's looking really good. Shes finally starting to stretch out a bit, up till now her canopy was quite crammed and close. Some of her branches are starting to grow up and the whole thing is stretching out a bit, which is nice. She's now 51cm/20" tall. I've watered her again with 3l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 44 --- 16/06/2021 I'm really happy with the way her canopy shape is looking, it's all pretty even and level, considering the accident I had, I think she's doing just fine. I've watered her again with 3l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 45 --- 17/06/2021 She's now just over 23" tall and she's filled the tent. The light is as high as it can go, and she's touching the walls of the tent. She can't get any bigger, else we have issues. I'm going to have to get a bigger tent... I've watered her again with 3l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 46 --- 18/06/2021 Shes now over 24" tall and she's filling the tent quickly. Also, I noticed today the first signs of her going into preflower, you can see really small white pistils showing 😀 I've watered her again with 3l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 47 --- 19/06/2021 Shes growing really well, there are so many bud sites growing on her now, it won't be long before I'm watering 4L. I've watered her again with 3l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 48 --- 20/06/2021 Shes starting to get way too big for the tent, I'm going to need a larger one. The humidity is also worrying, it's constantly at 98% even with the dehumidifier and ac on. I've watered her again with 3l of 23C, 1000PPM, 6.0PH water with the above nutrients --- Day 49 --- 21/06/2021 So, I got a new tent. I went from a 60x60x160cm one to a 90x90x200cm one.
