FreedomAddict Beginning is always OK, if there is an appropiate light over it and the air flows. Problems gonna come later. 😁
I started my first indoor grow with a simple cheap chinese violet "UFO" LED light with real consumption 42W (product info on AliExpress says 150W 😁 ). The first plan was just to create a low-budget grow box, just for fun and learning, but precious tuned and running properly. I wanted to run longer with this chinese LED, but with the time some LEDs stopped working or just emitted less light so I got one second-hand SanLight LED, which was a perfect choose for this area. First I thought it'll be too strong and I'll have to raise it like 45cm above.

Notice: first 23 days of grow there was another grow light - simple chinese violet "UFO" LED light with real consumption 42W. Later, since day 24, it ran with SanLight S2W - much better light but it also became warmer inside.

FreedomAddict She was really doing well. On the day 24, I upgraded the cheap LED with the SanLight S2W. The light could only fit diagonally, but I think it's not bad.
At the end of week 4, I decided to top her (which shouldn't be done on autoflowers) because of grow height worries... I didn't have to. You know, I thought that from the flowering start she'll boost upwards like 2 times so tall... But she didn't, later I realized that this happens when you switch normal photoperiod pheno to 12/12, but my plant had already first pistils at this time (I would say 1st or 2nd flowering day) and didn't grow much higher at all. 🙄 😌 Never mind, we're going on.
Btw. I always take so much photos, because - more is better 😁 no, simply said - photos say much more about the grow than words, but world are also important.

FreedomAddict Flowering has started on day 29. After using of 7 years old Hesi fertilizers one or two times, leaf tips became a little burnt and yellow. I don't know if it was in cause of long storage of fertilizers or maybe I just didn't have to start with full dosis... Maybe also pH, I don't know, I didn't measure it. However, at this time I thought it was a light or heat stress and I lifted the lamp.

FreedomAddict After using old Hesi, I bought some fresh BioBizz stuff to give it more natural power. I'm starting with nutrient dosing which the producer recommends.

FreedomAddict I came home from my holiday, full of worries if is everything OK, because I, beginner grower, left the box for 2 weeks to a person who doesn't know much about growing... 🤔 😁 And I was totally surprised, really, the difference after 16 days was incredible, trichoms everywhere and much more big and sticky... 😋 The light was 60cm above the plant because I still had doubts about light stress... But there was no light stress at all. 😆
It's a bit difficult for me as an indoor rookie to give an opinion about genetics. It was my first "serious" indoor grow so maybe I didn't get all, what the genetics offered. But I didn't even know what exactly should I expect. But I must say, I was really satisfied with my result for the first run. Really nice flowers, not so hard but looking good, smelling good and taste was also interesting. The plant was from the beginning very vital, healthy and stable. She was ~28 days on vegetation stage and ~49 days on flowering, so the whole grow took 77 days. She finished very well even if there were many mistakes I made and learned a lot.
