Day 1 is Dec 15 2021. Growing an extra plant inside for additional moisture and humidity in my small tent. Getting the RH up has been a task and adding an extra pot to hold watered soil will help. It will maximize the light too! Added 40w side light to support the extra plant. Have a joyful growth — you and your plant! 🌱 😎

Normal D7 growth. No nutes yet since it’s light soil that will last at least the first week and a half or so. First time growing in a 1 liter (half gallon) pot. We shall see what I learn from this. Will start feeding at D12 or so, depending on how she looks. Will be super light feed though just to test things out. Enjoy growing your plants and I hope you grow along with them! 🌱 😎

Still no feed at D14. This Plagron light soil seems to be able to carry it for this long. We will see if it needs nutes. Will monitor leaves for any signs of def. Topped and LST’d at D12. She was growing aggressively and had to manage for my short tent with one other plant in full bloom. May your plants grow well and may you also grow with them. 🌱 😎

This is a 1 liter / .25 gallon grow I started to help keep the RH higher in my tent. Looks like this is going to be hard! But I’m excited to learn how to grow in a smaller pot. Smoke hard. Grow harder! 🌱 😎

Another auto, another early flowering. Man, I suck at this… but all good! 😂 Growing in a 1 liter is tough. I don’t actually know if I should ramp up nutes since I am watering her almost very 1.5 days now. Should I go feed-water-feed-water or scale up the nutes? No idea. Happy to learn though. And really growing this baby to add RH to my small grow space. Whatever comes (or doesn’t come) out of this, in terms of harvest, is already a plus! Happy growing! 😎 🌱

Heavy lollipopping because it’s a 1L pot. Trying to figure out # of colas is for a 1L grow. Decided on 6 main ones that are lollipopped. She’s barren and dried up every 2 days now. Soon, it will be every day that I’ll water her. Not gonna be my best grow but a really fun learning experience to grow in small medium. Happy growing! 🌱 😎

Not bad for a 1L grow. I expected way less. I don’t know how much they will fatten but… I’m hopeful I can at least make 12g from her. She has at least 4-6 weeks to go, we will see. Will miss 4 days of watering due to travel. She’s drinking every other day now, so it will be bad. But she will survive I hope. Happy growing to all of you! 🌱 😎

Super fast growing sativa. Seems resilient for any mistakes I made and was hungry once flower set in. Too bad I failed on the watering when I left for vacation. Another grow error, another learning. Will grow this strain again but with a much bigger pot to maximize its fast growth!

“Sometimes you have to cut your losses” “You gotta know when to fold ‘em.” Insert quote about positives of quitting HERE. D48 — was in Paris for the weekend. So I missed her watering by 1.5 days. She’s currently being watered a little over every 2 days or so and is in 1 liter pot — so very little water there. Will she survive this? We shall soon see. Update in 2 days. D50 — watered her a bunch two days ago and she didn’t show any signs of rejuvenation at all. Everything is almost wilted. Forced chop due to water failure on grower's end. Good bye Mango Smile 1 Liter grow! I’m sorry I didn’t do you justice. I enjoyed learning from you and look forward to growing your strain again!

I imagine your pain harold face when you get back home from vacation and seeing this. Nice ending for your vacation. Just plant the second one now and don't make the same mistake again. Imagine this happens again and what would you say here? Lol

Fuck… that’s sad… hard one to recover I believe, but good luck, she might come over it since it’s soil 🤞 If there will be a next time, you can place her in a larger tray and pour her a few extra liters of water, which she can slowly drink off while you’re gone.
the end.
