I am growing this plant along side 2 other automatic dwarfs. I got it as a freebie and i figured i would try it. I am running a 6 bulb T5 and that is it. It is not a tent, so it is not simple to keep temps under control but i am trying my best and like i said earlier i am a noob so take everything u see and read with a GRAIN OF SALT. This is my first grows, and i am trying to learn as much as i can. Tips, comments and criticism is always always welcome.

SECOND WEEK, and she is doing good. Changed her into a 1 gallon smart pot, and now waiting until she is ready for her final resting place aka "5 gallon smart pot". Have not been feeding her to much, just big bloom in the water and some "top dress" nitro bat.

This week i fucked up. I had a gnat problem, so i made an incorrect AZAMAX mixture, and i burned my plant. Azamax is a great product and after this situation, i fixed the mixture and it has been working amazing. I wanted to cut it down, but first i topped it. Once i saw that the plant was not completely dead, i decided to continue with her. I know maybe i should have trashed her, but i felt bad and it was only azamax burn. Dont judge me, we all make mistakes 😌.

This week everything went better. I low stressed her, even though it seems like high stress the way i bent her. She is taking well to being manipulated and i removed the burned fan leaves. On last day of 4th week, i transplanted her into her final resting place. 5 gallon smart pot. 3 TBS OF TOP SCRATCH NITRO BAT PER 5 GALLONS OF SOIL. AS WELL AS BIG BLOOM 8 TBS PER GALLON.

This week i switched her to 12 hour. I started to introduce 3 TBS of top scratch of Phos Bat, as well as 1.5 TBS of top scratch of Nitro bat and as always Big Bloom in water. She is showing hairs toward the end of the week, and she is starting to stretch fast. Other than that she is doing well and i will be defoliating her soon to make room for some light to shine inside.

She is doing good. Having a hard time leveling her out so she gets an even canopy. Continuing same nutes, trying to keep it as organic as i can. I also defoliated her in order to get more inside.

This week i ended up purchasing the Roots Organics player pack, and added 2 CFL 75w to help with flowering. All the nutes were in water, but (UPRISING BLOOM, UPRISING FOUNDATION, ELEMENTAL, WERE TOP SCRATCHED ONLY). She seems to have slowed down with her stretch. I had to tie down higher colas to keep an even canopy again.

This week everything started leaning over, so i installed bamboo in the corners of the pot in order to support the long branches. I later installed some mylar around the area to help with light reflection. (I know i should have done it from day one) She seems happy with the nutes and everything seems like its going well. If you have any comments or suggestions please let me know.
