Put seed in water 5/2 in the AM. This will be an outdoor grow in a 3 gal fabric pot. Once seed germinates I will place directly in medium.
Seed cracked open, made the soil last night as follows, FFOF 50%, perlite and pumice 10-15%, 15% earth worm castings, 10% coco loco, 10% horticultural charcoal. Once cotyledon appears, week 1 will commence. Soil has been treated with neem oil everywhere except the direct center to avoid harming the plant. I will be bringing in the plant at night when temp drops below 53f or severe weather during seedling, but will be outside at 6am when I get up for work. This will only be the next days as spring is really coming in quick. Pot is outside now, just waiting for sprout.
5/5 PM-no cotyledon yet. Tomorrow calls for rain, not a good start to the outdoor grow.
5/6PM-came home to the first sign of life after bringing the pot in from the chilly night. Tomorrow starts true day 1 of week 1 outside. Luckily the weather is going to be amazing and the rays will provide plenty of nourishment.
5/7-D1...beautiful weekend to grow. Each new week will be on Saturday. I will be updating along the way multiple times per week. Giving averages for my conditions.
D2-wonderful week of sun is scheduled in the forecast. Lightly misting and keeping the roots moist. A little water every morning should do the trick. Plant is looking healthy otherwise. Not able to care and maintain like my other plants but I'm hoping for an impressive yield without any training techniques.
D3-very windy today, avg temp 81f.
D4-hot and humid today. Avg temp 80f. Gave a little misting at the base to keep moist.
*reached 90f today...woah
D6-high of 93 today. Giving the base a good moisten each morning, afternoon and evening, as it has been so so hot
D7- misted the base this morning, will continue to moisten when dry. First week down, probably 9 more to go.
D8-very hot day temperatures lately, plant is growing nicely and following the sun. I think I have it in the best full sun spot on my deck. Watering daily just enough to get the base and roots moist.
D9-rained today. Humid and roughly 75-80f. Plant is cruising along and still looks healthy! I'm actually debating on turning back on my initial words...thinking I will tie down the side branches to open the canopy, but LST will take place at week 4, very minimally as well. Just want to maximize yield and letting all the colas receive equal light penetration is only fair to the plant's morale.
D11-overcast today, plant is still tracking the suns position. Getting ready to introduce first dressing of nutrients, I need to make the decision now who I'm going to be using. Will top dress with a 444 blend by next week.
D13-sunny day today followed by thunderstorms the next 2. Plant is progressing, still only watering. Going to start to PH the water to 6 - 6.6 from here on out. 200ml watering tomorrow.
PM- my idiot dog ate a fan leaf...wtf. I'm screwed on this run now...will water and care until the end though...until death.
D14-plant is still 1/6th eaten. No feed today due to rain. Got watered quite nicely. Taking out of direct rainfall the remainder of the storms. Also have decided on my organic amendments. Giving it a run, and we'll see what happens.

D15-raining still. Haven't been able to check on it. Will update stats. Going to scratch in 3tbsp of 4-6-3 once soil is dry. Decided on using Dr earth brand due to availability and cost.
D16- amended tonight 3 TBSP and watered 250ml. Tomorrow is another overcast day.
D18-watered by misting medium. Every 2 day water schedule is now in place.
D19-thunderstorms the Next 3 days. Plant got watering overnight from the rain. Pulling it close to the siding so it doesn't drown from direct exposure of the rain.
PM-got soaked...looks mad and wilty. Brought it inside to ride the storm out. Morning time I will place it under greenhouse covering, when there's no lightning.
D20-plant bounced back and looks happy again outside. Mild rain today and will pull as needed to protect from downpour.
D23...heck I've been gone. Bad weather makes me dislike going outside. Plant is doing well, scratched in 1 cup of castings, planning on spraying neem oil tonight, watering and applying another spray of neem. Forget bugs. Overall Plant is stressed from the outside and being on the deck. But here we are continuing the run. Temperature will be hot this week, will provide average tomorrow.
D25- temp high and low for the week, 85/54. Watered half gallon this morning. Wind is really putting the plant through the ringer but it's doing well overall.
Noticed pistils today, I will count today as the start of flower, but will continue on through the rest of the week to complete week 4.
D26-storms last night and today. Plant is holding up out there.
D27-very mild rain last night ended up being more humid so far this week which is nice for veg and a little pre flower. Keep on growing! Needing to shift to multiple locations during the day due to activities and the sun hitting my big trees creating shadows. Not going crazy but if I'm out there I'll move the plant to direct sunlight.

D29-plant has been great. Not watering that much as the pot always feels watered due to rain. Going to scratch in first dose of flower girl by end of the week, as well as 1 cup castings.
D31-week's high and low, 77/54. Thunderstorms today after watering last night. Plant is holding up, going to top dress officially on D34 and water in regardless of wetness.
D32-rain last night. Humid out today. Plant smells mildly.
D35-scratched in flower girl on D34, along with 1tbsp of home grown and 2/3 cup with castings..watered hair gallon on D34. Rained today heavily for around 30 minutes so the nutes definitely got into the soil.
D36-rain has been coming down every single day it seems. Plant is flowering along, going to spray neem oil by end of the week to deter pests.
D37-neem oil sprayed on plants medium and fabric pot.
D38-rain and humidity the past couple days. Weeks outlook though is a high of 97, sunny and night temp of no lower than 60. Summer season is officially here :) I have really been doing nothing to this plant except making sure it was watered and in the sunlight. Adding nutes per schedule helps tremendously also with one extra step taken out of the equation.
D39-plant is growing and showing good bud sites. Nothing but abundant sunshine this week. Noticed a good amount of trichomes already forming on some leaves, as well as at the base of the side branches.
D40-hand watered half gallon as it is brutally hot and sunny. Plant looks good.
D41-noticed fungus gnat infestation. Applied neem like crazy to saturate medium. Heck..
D43-drought continues for plant. Otherwise smell is present and almost fruity, excited to see the development on this!
D45-drought continues, plant is getting fat flowers along all side branches. Very compact flowering on the cola.
D46-gnat infestation seems eliminated. Will likely water tonight at sunset or tomorrow. Do not want to do this again...a 6 day drought seemed to do the trick though. To prevent this from happening again, I will place plants under rainproof cover next time rain is even in the radar, which I am checking constantly. I can not afford this drought when flower takes place full swing and bud production is in full effect. Forgot to add temps this week, 98 which is today, to a low of 60.
Today has reached 100 degrees. Record high today.
D47-did not water last night, today is the day to do it though. Plant is mildly drooping. Still doing well though
D48-plant is quite happy with the watering. The smell is very apparent and fruity. Overall just leaving alone, will drought again until plant looks desperate.
D49-plant looks good. Rain is in the forecast tomorrow, will be placing in exterior greenhouse to protect the flowers and medium from the downpour, while still being in the outdoor environment. Plant is showing some signs of deficiency, will top dress the final flower ammendments I believe tomorrow, or whenever next watering will be. Final stretch is taking place, now just to pack on weight until it is ready!
*Correction, I will scratch in 3TBSP FG tonight but will hold off on watering in...only due to previous watering date and expected humidity tomorrow. Tomorrow is 25 days of flower since I noticed and it has developed quite nicely in that time frame.

D50-rain. Stuck in greenhouse with gorilla glue.
D51-watered plant and the above nutes in. Plant smells delicious
D52-high and low temps are 90 to 60 this week with rain in the forecast on Friday. Plant looks great and hints of blue are noticeable on sugar leafs. Maybe it's my imagination though. Smell is terrific, very sweet and fruity from my memory to writing this. Broke up top layer of soil after watering, which will become new practice before the watering begins here on out. Will water again D54 and provide cover D55 PM in anticipation for D56[Rain].
D53- walked under my deck and could smell the plant roughly 15'away. Today it's a bit cooler, and looking through the soil top there's no infestation continuing.
D54-water tonight, plant is now within the rose of Sharon. Looking good nonetheless.
PM-watered around half gallon total in intervals. Inspected trichomes by chance and wow are they milky...damn dog from the first week biting of a side branch...monitoring the Leaves now, I'm seeing a few yellow appear.
D55-end of week 8, plant looks and smells good. Stunted for real but there's some good flower still. Cover tonight from rain and start week 9 in full Sun. Thinking off changing grow locations for this and all future runs.
D56- back out in the real world away from the rain. The greenhouse was very pungent with the built up scent brewing in there. Rain in the next week, will update on new grow week the day to day plan.

D57-full sun, happy plant. Showing cannibalism.
D58-watered over a gallon with PH water. Scratched in 3 TBSP FG as a final treatment. Full sun all day. Happy 4th weekend!
D59-rain so was under cover
D60-pulled inside for the night due to heavy rains. Plant is holding up, not going to jinx myself.
D61-very Happy to be in the outdoors again. Leaves continue to yellow and change. Inspected trichomes and they are still quite milky. Going to wait until D64 before I entertain watering again.
D62-still smelling great and a very nice addition to the porch. Continuing on D64 with the next watering. The end is near, maybe a week or 2 left before harvest!
D64-watered tonight. Plant is very near the end..
D65-pulled inside momentarily from the rain. Going to drought until death.
D67-put in complete darkness. Will go back and inspect but the plant is ready for harvest. All milky trichomes and a few ambers last I looked. Hoping to harvest before D70.
D68-finishing up life in the dark and cold. Had not been Watered for some time, may leave to die in the pot or chop, depending on my schedule.
D69-harvesting tonight. Will provide weights when finished wet trimming fan leaves. Smells very good and I'm excited to try once dried.
Unfortunately my initial post did not save and I don't have the wet weight. Lost motivation with this plant early ish on. Could have been a great plant but there's no way for me to know.
