Starting this diary in progress. I germinated a seed for a friend and it never popped, so I set him up with a different seed. Just for the heck of it I planted this un-popped seed and lo and behold, she sprouted a few days later. She was a runt and honestly I was just going to give up on her. Had her growing in a window sill under a T5 light but I transplanted her anyway and she is now starting to kick in. Moved her into a spare room with a lower grade LED, not sure if i will get much out of this but hey, the fun is in the trying! 😁 Day 36 - Gonna top her tomorrow. Day 37 - Watered her with 2 tsp Grow Big and 1/2 tsp calmag per gallon of tap water, ph'd to 6.5 Planning on topping the upper perimeter tops tonight to let the inside newly forming branches start to catch up. Day 38 - Topped the upper outer perimeter tops. I'll defoliate a bit tonight in the inside section. I never had high hopes for this girl but she ended up coming around and now I'm really rooting for her. Through my own neglect, she's got an odd shape to her, but maybe that's what makes her special lol. 😁 Day 39 - I'm fascinated by the way this one has grown due to my previous neglect and screw-up by topping her so early. Now that She's doing well and I have pulled back the side branches it exposed a crater in the middle that's almost like it's own ecosystem. I'm hoping the center will kick in, tons of tops down there just waiting to become branches and then buds. Day 40 - All is well. Day 41 - Defoliated a little bit. Day 42 - Slowly but surely...

Day 71 - She got watered last nigh with tap ph'd to 6.5 Day 72 - The runt graciously offered to move to the dining room so that the SFV OG that was just harvested could use her room to hang out. I obliged. 😃 Day 73 - OK the runt is once again in new digs. She's moved into the closet that used to be SFV OG's home. She has much better lighting now and fresh shiny reflective mylar walls, woohoo. 😆 Yeah, I'm baked Day 74 - I topped her all over a week or so back so I'm gonna wait another week or 2 before flipping to flower. I'm hoping the canopy will even out a bit 🙏 Day 75 - Happy girl Day 76 - She's grown a bit more Day 77 - I love my runt

Day 99 - Defoliated my runt a bit, lot of bud sites! Day 100 - I'm wondering if the buds are going to be runts too 😐 Day 101 - I've grown many plants over the years but this girl is unique, it's not going to be the best yield but it will be a special yield for sure. 😎 Day 102 - Buds are on the small size but starting to get bigger. Day 103 - Looking good Day 104 - Defoliated her a teeny bit more. Day 105 - This has been an extended grow, especially for a 5 gallon pot. But she is handling it very well except for the whole runt thing. 😏 I'm curious to see just how root-bound she was after she is harvested.

Harvest time has finally come! My neighbor/grow partner and I trimmed up the runt, took about 3 hours+ She is now hanging and slowly drying in a spare room. I have a humidifier keeping the humidity at around 55-60%, and the temp is 70F. She is the mini beast! 😁
