Chunky_Budai First time grower, decided to go with peat pellet. Filled her up with water (35ml according to instructions), placed the seed ~half an inch into the peat and loosely covered. 3 days later the seedling had sprouted. Moved her to the grow tent with light some 30 inches above.

Chunky_Budai Transferred to soil pretty fast, tore away the peat pot for better root growth.
First watering on day 5, no nutrients as the soil is pretty nutrient rich. Hoping it won't cause problems.
Keeping humidity high with a wet towel. I think I'll have to buy a humidifier at some point.

Chunky_Budai More rapid growth, starting to smell a little. Still not feeding any nutrients.
I have a feeling the plant is somewhat root bound. The soil has not dried properly.
Maybe I'll wait longer until watering more. I've been feeding her pH balanced water, some 0.5l every 3 days (twice this week).

Chunky_Budai Started LST, feels somewhat slow growth but looking at last week's photo I think she's doing fine.
Should have used smaller pot (11l perhaps) so that LST would be easier. Since I didn't fill this one up completely the walls of the pot are a little bit too high making training somewhat harder.
Been keeping the light a tad bit too far away. I brought it down a little.
Started giving nutes, the minimum recommended amount. The leaves have started looking more vibrant.

Chunky_Budai Somehow feels like stunted growth. Leaves showing sings of slight nutrient burn. Did a pH balanced watering in the middle with no added nutes.

Chunky_Budai Growing more rapidly now and showing some flowering. Started giving her more nutes and flushing every third watering to prevent nute buildup. I’ll start flowering nutes soon.
I made an unfortunate mistake and snapped her main branch. Was also unable to heal it completely but the plant seems healthy.
Everything seems to be going surprisingly good

Chunky_Budai Starting to flower so im going to progressively increase flowering nutes.
I bought humidifier last week and added it tothe grow tent. The plant started feeling real down so i removed it, bounced back realquick.
Did some light defoliation to give light to lower bud sites. Going to keep it light so i wont screw things up.
She is not a monster but im still proud of her.
Chunky_Budai Looking back I made several mistakes, mainly using Peat pellets and peat pot, both of which slowed the root growth (did my best removing them after few weeks). Also I feel like I should have given the plant more nutrients early on.
And i should have waited a few more days before harvesting for better high.
Overall a fun grow and I’ll be doing this again at some point!
