I had the light 16" above the canopy, but the top cola was pulling away so I moved the light up to 20".

It's dry enough to smoke but needs a few more days before I jar it. The taste and smell aren't great, but the effect is. It's very body heavy but not sleepy so it's definitely showing indicia and Sativa traits. It reminds me of weed from the 90's. I can feel it in my teeth.

It's very close. The top cola is too close to the light and foxtailing lesson learned. I'll probably chop next week.

Week 15. There's at least a week to go. Maybe 2 or 3. Half the plant has a purplish/golden glow and is smelling great and half is still very green and chlorophyll smelling.

It's looking absolutely awful due to being too close to the light. Lots of foxtailing. But it's almost done! I made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot as well.

Aber einfach fand ich die nicht.

@KingSalomonsWeed, Thank you! Genetics has everything to do with it. I think I stopped veg nutes too early, but the plant is making it. It was a joy to watch grow.

I've learned that I should be feeding veg nutes through the stretch. I had some yellowing as a result.

Had a little nute burn and lock out so I adjusted the PH to 6.8 and it seemed to level off but there was some damage to the leaves.

The growth during week 5 has been amazing to watch. Opening as many bud sites as possible via LST and leaf tucking has provided the shape I was hoping for.

Started giving 1/2 strength Foxfarm nutes in week 4.

I started noticing pistils on day 24 from seed and added bloom nutes at a diluted strength. I can't wait to watch this flower.

@love_2_grow,
Thank you! I have two others in another tent 4 weeks in flower but they are just bagseed. I figured if I was gonna do a journal I would do it with purchased genetics.

Bruce Banner Auto from Expert seeds.
32x32x63 tent
200 w Alphapar LED 29" from canopy
4" inline fan and carbon filter
5-gallon bucket
Foxfarm Ocean Forest soil amended with BIOAG VAM Endomycorrhizal root inoculant
Foxfarm Trio Nutes
Foxfarm Trio Solubles
Blackstrap Molasses
Epsom Salts
I germinated the seed in a glass of water for 24 hours 6/13
Planted directly into 5-gallon bucket the 14th
Emerged from soil on the 15th
The shell coat needed to be removed gently with a sterilized safety pin
The first true leaves seemed to be present from the opening of the cotyledons.
I am giving it ph'd water as needed
The light cycle is 20/4
The germination and initial growth is fast and healthy
