D46 - The first day in the third week of flower. Not much to report. I'm pretty much just letting her go at this point, considering how stunted she is. I'm interested in what the result will be but I'm not really willing to spend much time or energy on her.
D48 - I'm starting to see more discolored leaves on her, and I suspect that she has thrips considering that I had (have?) them in my other tent. I can't spray her with anything as she is in flower, and I already have a bag with predatory mites on her, so I've done what I can really can. In any case, she is more of a project at this point.
The good news is that I think I have discovered why she is stunted.
I read online about transplanting when they mentioned that it was important not to transplant when the plant is too dry, as it can cause the root structure to fall apart and thus shock your plant.
Well, that is precisely what happened. During the transplant, my girl was dry and lost some earth, which disturbed the roots.
100% user error, as I suspected since this was my first time transplanting. Usually, I plant directly in the final container.
I need more training (obviously), so I have started a new grow where I plan to transplant the girls a couple of times.
D52 - The end of yet another week. She is getting frosty but is of course still stunted and tiny lol.
@BigDaddyK, Hmmmm... you could very well be correct as this is the first time I grow in such small pots, and I'm not used to how fast they dry up. I'll water her a bit more frequently and see if it helps. Cheers for the tip.
@SeedsNStems, Sure thing! I used 60 grams of chili flakes and soaked them in 500 ml 60% ethanol for about two hours, stirring now and then, before finally straining it through a coffee filter. This base tincture needs to be diluted to 1:10 when using it. I put around 50 ml of the tincture in a small spray bottle and then added 450 ml of distilled water. Check out my CBD Nordle diary for some pics.

@love_2_grow,
I think mint is good lavender maybe I am Lucy my shop is surrounded in Box Elder bugs they keep most everyting at bay LOL except the dam spider mites on my Fruit Slap only one they like probably need to get rid it the honeysuckle out side my veg room
@amazongrow, Well, she is a project of sorts in that way that it is the first time I tried transplanting an auto, it is the first time I use this particular soil blend that I made, and the first time I grow in such small containers. Clearly, I must have stunted her in some way. Someone suggested that underwatering might have been the issue, which might be the case since I'm not used to these small pots. We live and learn ;)
@love_2_grow, I thought it was a pet project or something... back in the days I use to do that with some pruned branches =)
she is lovely though =)
congrats
