Placed seed in water till the root was 1,5cm 3rd of August I planted the seed in the soil (mixed with coffee left over on top) and 5th of August it started peeping out. Then I placed the light above it around 19cm height in growing stage at around 35000 lux. Measured the lux on my phone with the Plant Light Meter app. Now 2 days later this bad baby is already around 5cm. I think I'll add extra soil (mixed with used coffee) around end of next week up to 3-4cm under the leaves. Weather forecast next week is brilliant so I'll put it outside in the sun during the day and late afternoon I'll put it back inside under the light. I have the Plagron 100% Terra grow booster but I'm doubting when to start adding this to the water. Yesterday is gave a bit of rainwater around the stem so the plant should be good for a few days.

Well this week was a fun week. Like a small kid I checked on her in the morning and after work all week long. Just chilling in the lounge with my morning coffee and in the evening with a after-work beer admiring how she's growing. At the beginning of this week the light was set up around 35000 lux at 19cm from the top. I raised the lamp 10cm with the handy chain. (The light can be raised and lowered in 5cm steps.) Day by day I increased the intensity and now she's sunbathing at a lux level of 48000. Not a single scorch mark to detect so I'll keep it like this. I also added a layer of 3cm soil around the stem so the plant is more supported. On the 11th she started developing her second branches and that's the day I began adding nutrients to the water. On my first grow I only added Terra Grow, so time to step up and do it better. I bought a new box from Plagron with the Power Roots and pure Zym included. What a difference! She's emerging like a queen and loving the extra nutrients! Second branches are growing at a good pace and I can already see her tiny 3rd set of branches. But I still have some things to do. Firstly, I need to look for a ventilator. Secondly, I have to try to make a custom made tent or something. I placed her in my garden shed but the temperature fluctuates a lot (day vs night) I have a mobile airco unit that I will place here inside for now. Like that I'll have a little bit more control over the temperature and humidity and she'll have a small breeze above her crown. So that's pretty much my story for this week. Feel free to comment about how I do it and what could or could not be done better. I wish you all a lovely Saturday and enjoy your weekend!

Welcome back readers, Shortly after my weekly update I was browsing through some diaries and I saw a lot about FIM. I was curious what technique that was... After some investigation on the internet I was wondering if I should apply this technique. Wasn't sure my lady was ready and big enough for a tiny operation without anesthesia 😅. After half a hour of doubting and searching the net I was like; Hey the technique is called Fuck I Missed just do it! I took the scissors out of the slide and after disinfecting them I did the magic cut. I was a bit scared I killed her but after 3 days it all began. On the 18th in the morning new shoots started to appear on the bottom node. By the time it was evening 2 shoots started to grow on the second node. On the 19th 2 shoots started growing on the third node. At this moment she's developing her 5th node. And here I'm doubting again.... Should I perform a FIM on the 5th node? Please let me know if I should do it or not. Some other things I did this week. - Placed a ventilator - Raised the light 10cm and fine-tune to 42000 lux That's about it for this week. Have a nice weekend and see you next week!

As she’s an auto, and it appears you’ve already done it once, I’m going to side with no. Autos are slow growers, and they have a short predetermined life span. They time and energy she’ll spend recovering is going to effect her final size, her harvest and possibly her ability her handle bugs, mold, or other stressful situations. Now if she was a photoperiod- or if she was in coco- I’d think you’d have a better shot of making it work in your favor. 🌱

Hello all! Welcome to my week of fuck ups 😶😐 At Sunday I did a transplant and she went completely in shock. Because she was in shock, my baby also some severe light burn. So I dimmed the led and flushed her so she could heal. The next day she started to look better and came back to live. Because of all the stress I seriously stunted her growth this week. Since yesterday the growth started to kick in and also look healthy again. I raised the led to 80cm height and increased the intensity to 38 mols/day. So hopefully I have better news next week!!! Wishing you all a lovely weekend!!

Welcome back readers and followers, Last Saturday I started with bending her over and twisting leaves so everything gets an even amount of light. After 2 days I felt and saw she didn't stretch. Did I have a problem with fertilizing, the light, to much or to little water. I seriously didn't know. I'm still a beginner in case you've missed 😅 So I contacted DreamIT Did he help me? Nowp he didn't.... I sended him pictures and told him what I'm seeing and thinking. Then his replies started to flood in. He took his time, and explained every little tiny detail about I was doing good and wrong! He was teaching me like a real 420 Maestro! Following issues have been resolved after his advice, - No stretching; I raised the light and lowered the dimmer to plus minus 18000 lux - A little bit to crazy with fertilizer; so one day I give water with fertilizer and 1 day without. (I also bought an indicator Xiaomi MI Flower Care that should help me to keep everything within the limits) - LST; how I should bend the stem and leaves, that's working out great now and I think I have pretty much the feeling how to do it and to what I have to pay attention to. - Ventilation; positioned the fan so it looks like the leaves are vibrating So that's about it for this week! Be sure to give my man DreamIT a follow on his Instagram! You can see there how he spoils his babies!!! https://instagram.com/dreamit420?utm_medium=copy_link I wish you all a wonderfull weekend and see you next week! Rusty

Here we go again 😁 So the weather was fantastic this week. Lovely temperatures! She keeps growing like a beast! Then on Thursday my heart started to bleed. The top cracked of. I tried to fix it with the help of my wife but she ripped it completely off by accident. 😶😬 As of today I see a lot of small new branches so hopefully that will compensate the loss a little bit. Flowing stage is very near but so far she's mainly in vegetation modus. The LST she's handling very well and there's always an instant recovery. It's a short diary this week because I didn't put so much time in my plant this week. I'll compensate it next week and hopefully we have entered flowering stage! I wish you all a great weekend!!! 💚💚💚

A bit late with the update but here it is. Another sad week this week. 2 branches broke completely off because of the LST. Kinda my fault. Asked my Bro @DreamIT the reason and most likely it is because she was to hydrated. So that's something I'll remember for my next plant. She's still looking healthy. So I'll keep her. But I also toned down my yield expectations. Flowering starts to kick in so I'll start adding Bloom nutrients when I give her water the next time. Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday 💚💚

Goodmorning everybody! Here we finally are, the flowering fase! Despite a lot of loss in the vegetation fase (due to my mistakes!!) I still see a lot potential yield. On Monday she started showing signs of flowering. So I increased the output of light daily step by step. Light is now at 80cm from the top at full power and I'll keep it there as long as possible during the growth. I defoliated a few leaves that where covering buds, so now they are all sunbathing in the light. I'm still applying LST but at a slower pace, she seems to handle it very well! That's about it for this week. Have a lovely Sunday 💚💚💚 Give my flower expert a follow on his insta 💚💚💚 https://instagram.com/dreamit420?utm_medium=copy_link
