Germinated for three days in paper towels. Taproot came out really long which is already a good sign. This is my first time growing this strain and growing a non auto flower seed.

Plant is starting to develop its first set of true leaves. Minimal watering and lamp is set to 75% power. Once true leaves have devolped, I will change to 100% power.

Only 2 weeks in and it's already super bushy. Balancing the waters PH levels and well as using C-MAG as a base nutrient has down wonders so far. Plant is healthy and vibrant. Also, the new light I believe is also making a world of difference. It's the Viparspectra P1000 light.

She's super green. I leaned her over using the LST method to get more light to the bottom branches. Minimal watering and spritzes of ph balanced nutrient water (same nutrient mix I have in the watering can, I just poured some in my spray bottle). One tip of one leave is orange which may have been due to, too much nutrients at the beginning of the grow but the rest of the leaves are green and vibrant. Super bushy so defolliation with be happening in the near future. *Update*- Did a little defolliation to uncover the cluster of potential colas underneath (pic attached).

She growing fairly quickly. Color is still vibrant and watering is minimal. I've been defoliating here and there through the week to keep the foliage under control. Super bushy and producing lots of nodes. I started tucking leaves behind the potential nodes to give them more light for growth.

Grew 2 inches but still low and bushy like she should be. Plant is becoming dense so I will be defolliatng more soon. I increase the nute dosage since the plant is significantly bigger now. Watering increased as well. All in all still very vibrant and healthy.

Grew 2 inches from last week. Still strong and bushy. The trunk has become thick and wide. Gonna veg another week or 2 then flip to flowering. I'm trying to maximize its veg size so I can maximize yield.

She veggied for 8 weeks and I decided to flip her to flower after the 24 hours of darkness. I also decided to clean up the bottom of the plant so she can focus her energy on flowering. May wait a week before I add the flowering boots.

Flowering well except all the leaves have yellowish brown tips. I don't know if it's not burn or light burn.
