Week 1 went mostly smoothly.
No nutrients applied this week. Using a spray bottle daily to apply a small amount of water, without overwatering. seem to be ticking along nicely.
Day 7: Accidentally damaged seedling with spray bottle, was a bit distracted while spraying and knocked seedling over a bit with the water jet. Hopefully haven't damaged root structure too much. I've added some plant tie to give it some stability for the coming days. Switching to 20/4 lighting tomorrow and increasing power on dimmer switch.
DLI this week has been ~11, gonna begin ramping this up to ~25 by the end of next week. Following the values below for my lighting intensities, well, roughly anyway.

@CHILLING_RACOONS, ah thank you kindly for dropping in and leaving that lovely message. I can't take much credit really - the combo of great genetics from @Sweet_Seeds and the super easy feeding regime with Biotabs. I'm a total noob but with these excellent companies in my arsenal it's hard to go too far wrong.
Gonna roll a bone and take a look through your diaries now, I'm always looking to learn more about this amazing plant and the cultivation thereof, and you clearly know what you're doing!
Thanks again growmie :)
@DoDrugs420, thank you :) Very pleased with it so far. In the hardest part of the grow now, there's about a week to go but I have seriously itchy scissor fingers!! Gonna pack a bowl and take a look through your diaries now, maybe I'll pick up some tips. Thanks for stopping by growmie
@Jaygrow1020_autoking, thanks Jay! Getting so close now. This is one grow that I really wish we had smell-o-vision for. Like blackberry milk that's been left in the sun.. in a good way.
@Vincent_Van_Grogh, thanks Vinny, she's really packed on since you left this comment. Looking like about a week or so left on her. She is pretty frosted at this moment in time, and getting more sparkly (and stanky) by the day
@Kitties_and_Colas, it's hard to say for sure. There are still so many unknowns with cannabis growing, but I have seen plenty of anecdotal evidence on the web that backs this up - across various forums dating back a decade. If you google "purple strains foxtail" you'll find a bunch of the stuff I've read.
@Kitties_and_Colas, ah interesting. Could definitely be a hotspot on my lighting setup. Still figuring it out, it's such a tiny space that my options are limited. I did have my lamp running about 15-20% above recommended (by accident!) for the middle of flower so it may be a result of light stress. However, these purple strains seem prone to foxtailing regardless of environment - at least from what I've seen of other growers' diaries. This is just a head stash for me anyway, and I happen to love the appearance of foxtailed buds so no complaints from me. Always looking to learn more though, so thanks for the input :)
