I lost my previous plants to an infestation of leaf septoria during week 2 of veg, which spread from a different grow. I'm using my remaining seeds and new soil to attempt it again. I will not be placing these pots in the grow tent until the plant with septoria is ready for harvest, removed and the tent is thoroughly cleaned out. I will be starting them in my room under a 32w GE Grow Light in the meanwhile.
5/5:
-1 remaining seed placed in dechlorinated water for 24 hrs.
5/6:
-Transferred seeds into damp paper towels.
5/7:
-Noticeable taproots showing.
-Will be placing into medium tonight or tomorrow.
-Update: Transferred the seed to its' 5 gallon pot with a little bit of Great White to help root development.
5/14:
-Growing quite well in my room so far. Fantastic growth, esp for only using a 32w GE Grow Light to start.
-The dark spot on the cotyledon is just the remaining seed coat.
5/15:
-Watered with dechlorinated tap water.
5/18:
-Watered with dechlorinated tap water. Will be giving a very small amount of bottled nutrients next feeding.
5/22:
-Watered with dechlorinated tap water.
5/26:
-Placed all plants into the new grow tent.
-Will update grow light settings.
-Watered with dechlorinated tap water, with 1tbsp/gal of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide.
5/19:
-All plants are now on a timer to make sure the lights go on and off at the same time everyday.
-Watered with solution of 2mL/gal of Grow Big and 1mL/gal of CalMag @6.6 pH.
6/1:
-Watered all plants with dechlorinated tap-water (~7.0pH) with some Great White added in to help supplement the soil.
6/4:
-Watered all plants with a solution of 4mL/gal of Grow Big and 1tbsp/gal of Big Bloom @ 6.7pH.
6/5:
-Began LST.
6/6:
-Very minor defoliation to create a better canopy.
6/8:
-Watered with 3mL/gal of Grow Big, 2mL/gal of CalMag and some Great White at around 6.3pH.
6/12:
-Second round of LST begun.
-Watered all plants with 2mL/gal of Tiger Bloom, 2mL/gal of CalMag and 1tbsp/gal of Big Bloom at ~6.5pH.
6/15:
-Watered all plants with about 1tsp/gal of molasses and some Great White.
6/18:
-Watered all plants with 2mL/gal of Grow Big, 2mL/gal of Tiger Bloom and 2mL/gal of CalMag at ~6.5pH.
-Minor defoliation and more LST where necessary.
6/19:
-Began pre-flower around 3-4 days ago, showing exponential growth.
6/21:
-Watered with dechlorinated tap-water around 7.0pH.
6/24:
-Watered all plants with 3mL/gal of Tiger Bloom, 2mL/gal of CalMag and 2mL/gal of Big Bloom at ~6.5pH.
6/25:
-All plants are starting their flowering height growth, and as a result are gaining quite a bit of height!
6/26:
-All plants are continuing to gain a lot of height.
-This plant looks some what flimsy in comparison to the other two growing within the tent at the moment (different genetics+ strain), despite that it is still growing nicely.
-Will defoliate some more during tomorrows watering.
6/27:
-Watered all plants with dechlorinated tap water at ~7.0pH.
6/30:
-Watered with 4mL/gal of Tiger Bloom, 2.5mL/gal of CalMag and 1tbsp./gal of Big Bloom at ~6.6pH.
7/3:
-Watered all plants with dechlorinated tap water at ~7.0pH.
-Lower leaves are losing their green luster, some turning yellow; also leaf tips showing signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. Without any testing, I believe it's a mixture of both macro and micro nutrient deficiency, will very slightly increase the nutrients during next feeding.
7/6:
-Watered all plants with 7mL/gal of Tiger Bloom, 2mL/gal of Big Bloom and 4mL/gal of CalMag at ~6.4pH.

This plant would have done far better if I didn't grow it in a 5 gallon pot, last time I'll be doing that. Seems a little too big for autoflowers.
Regardless, the grow was very simple and the stink of this bud is FANTASTIC! Looking forward to smoking some after a few days of curing.
@Nightabsm, good to hear! Glad you worked it out. You can always take a small sample of soil to a local garden store and they can do an analysis on your soil so that you know what you need to adjust.
@Valleywestbuds, Appreciate the input, but I have many reasons to believe that isn't the issue (at least here). The plant recovered rather well after the increased nutrient feeding. I probably should have done so sooner, since runoff TDS has been rather low on this plant compared to others in the tent.
@420runner, Thanks man! I lost my previous round of these to an exposure of septoria or some other fungus in my tent from a different grow. They sadly never made it past week 2 of veg., even with countermeasures taken I was just too late.
Definitely gonna stay on top of this grow since I also have been looking forward to growing this strain, since I've loved it every time I've purchased it elsewhere. Will definitely update at least once a week and of course attempt to get nice, dense buds.
