The most specific thing in this stage about my plant plant - for the first two weeks it was growing almost without the direct sun light (maybe just about 30-60 minutes per day). Due to the fact that I have my windows on the Northern side and my lamp didn’t arrived at that time.
On top of that the temperature was somewhat about 17-19 degrees.
As a result of such a stupid approach in two weeks it didn’t change at all - just increased in height about 2cm, but leaves were the same as on the first days after germination…
I also fed it with Terra Aquatica - Root Booster fertiliser. And put my medium in the breathing pot in 2 days after germination.
Quite a stressful start, but let’s see where it goes.

This week I started lightening my plant.
And the leaves looking a bit strange. I can see some light green(very close to be yellow) areas on it.
I have an assumption that I over fed them with Root Booster fertiliser. It was supposed to be used only on the stage of the first leaves, however I was feeding it for almost a three weeks… Also I was probably overwatering it, giving my plant about 0.3 litres of fertilised water per day. Know I learned that I should water it, only when the first 2-3cm of the soil were able to get dry. I stopped using this damn Root Booster. This is my first plant, guys. So just never mind my stupid moves.
Please take a look at this kush and let me know if you feel that I need to adjust somewhat. Because i’m concerned a bit about my leaves. Tomorrow will do some better photos on the day light..
The 4th week just passed.
I change the lighting approach from 24 hours to 24/8. And my lady feeling much butter now.
Probably the most impact was done by the fertilisers for a growing stage -this week I started feeding it with Terra Aquatica Seaweed.
Anyway I just decided to keep it like that - 24/8. But on the flowering stage will switch to 24/4.
Also I spotted Fungus gnats(( But hopefully it looks like I was able to get rid of them - just reduced the watering frequency.
Another thing I did this week - I cut the first two leaves of my plant, because they were damaged.
Let’s see where it goes. How do you feel about my progress, Guys?)
A few leaves of my bush have this little brown spots on them, I googled this and made a conclusion that it is a fertiliser burn.
I assume it was done with “Root booster”.
Can I continue using vegetation fertiliser?
Do I need to remove damaged leaves?
Any other actions needed?
Check the PH of your run off water first, anywhere between 6 or 6,5 is perfect. If it's too high do a little flush until its right. Than let her dry out for a few days. One week whitout nutrients will not harm her 😉
Hope this helps
Another week passed.
I found out that the PH level of my water was wrong - 7.5.
Now I lower it down up to 6.0-6.5 before giving to my plant. I check the run-off water after I managed the PH level - it is about 6.0.
Even though everything was done more or less according to the best practices. This bush looks no so great, but I’ll keep treating him carefully. Let’s see where it goes.
First photo - yesterday. Second photo from today. Obviously it feeling worse then yesterday. But what is the reason behind that? I gave it 0,5 L of water 2 days ago. The first clue that it was under watered but the soil is absolutely wet((
there is a trick to avoid all watering issues. water till the pots are saturated and wait till it gets lighter before watering till saturated again.
this means you can water in a couple of different ways in fabrics. first off water in sessions and slowly in each session. water in half the water wait 10mins water in the rest. peat becomes hydrophobic when it dries so once in a while a bottom watering with half the amount of water you are gonna give is a good idea.
again let it get fairly dry and light between waterings and water slow and untill you’re sure the medium is saturated
Was finally able to set up the watering schedule properly. Stopped feeding her with Seaweed nutrients, because was a bit afraid that it caused some issues..
This week gave her some Calcium Magnesium, to make her leaves get some nicely green colour, instead of this yellowish one they have so far.
Flowering started, I was kinda surprised when I saw about the dozen good looking though small buds. Hopefully she will get higher in the next few week. Because currently it only 20cm high, which is not enough I think to develop those buds to be big enough.
Very interesting plant, expierenced many problems with her. But it’s the first one, so this is not surprising at all)
My plant was continuously feeling worse and worse. My best guess was that I spoiled the soil when was overwatering her for a few weeks. I decided so, because when I didn’t give her water for a few days, her leaves become crispy, like a paper. Even though the soil was not dry at all. It good be the oxygen problem. And I decided to change the pot and soil for her. Unfortunately the results are not so promising. Looks like she will not survive. It was a very interesting experience as with my first plant ever.
Will see what can come out of these few buds which a remaining on her. they smell pretty good.
Considering her current condition, do you have any advises guys?
Finally, my lady feeling good. And I was right about the soil issues. Because of the continuous overwatering during the first week my soil turned to some kind of unbretheable clay. So I had to repot her. Of course I damaged some roots during the process and she was significantly stressed , but she recovered and flowering nicely now.
I do not expect to harvest much, but enjoy the learning process a lot!
BTW she has no smell at all. very interesting fact)
On the week 9 I started harvesting. So far I cutter about 5-7 buds. The rest are still flowering.
All in all I’m happy about the outcome. Don’t think that I will get more the 5-10 grams of a dry product, however it was an interesting experience. And I’m sure that I will deal much better with my next plant, as I know some basic already.
The weight is not big, but I liked the stuff. Smell is very unusual, reminds of some medicine mixture or smth. And they are pretty strong in my opinion.
