@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.
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.
@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

4" inline fan and carbon filter
5-gallon bucket

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 germination and initial growth is fast and healthy
