She sprouted in 1 day. Put her in a rapid rooter thats inside a nursery bag filled with seedling starter mixed with organic potting soil. Will transplant her to a 5 gal fabric pot filled with my homemade organic soil when shes a bit bigger.

Shes looking ok. Nice and green but one of the 3 finger fan leaves is missing 2 fingers. She hasnt stretched so the lighting distance and strength is on point. Running 300 par.

Starting week 3 and she is really banging it out. Nice darker green color developing as she starts feeding on my homemade soil. WIll be able to top her soon. Mixed 1/2c of Bear Ground Solutions Fish Soil Enhancer in 1 gal of water. I only used 1 qt of this solution to water the plant. Topped her above 5th node on Nov 29th

Gave her a nice soil soaking of 1 gallon of 6.3 pH water yesterday. She perked right up and she's recovering from the topping a few days ago.

Week 5 starting. I trimmed 1 lower branches and a couple of the bottom leaves. I tied down the branches to even it out. One of the main tops was fragile and it cracked open from the main stem. I taped it up best I could hopefully it heals up. It's already wilted though. I've had them crack before and they healed up. Sunday Dec 12 - Ok I readjusted the heights of each branch for even canopy. The one main top branch seems to be healing. The top growth is now pointing upwards towards the light but the 2 leaves underneath are still wilted. The one main top is recovered fully and is continuing to grow.

Still just using plain water. 1 gal about every 4 to 5 days. The one main branch that was almost broken off is filly healed and has been growing amazingly. I flipped the lights to 12 hrs to start the flower stretch. Canopy is still really nice. Symmetry is perfect for tying up the colas during stretch.

She is still in flowering stretch. I watered her with 5ml Alaskan Fish Emulsion and 10ml of Alaskan Fish Morbloom. Next feeding will just be the Morbloom. There's plenty of Nitrogen in the soil still. If there's a Nitrogen issue that crops up later I'll use the Fish Hydrolysate I have instead as it's 2 N instead of 5 N. She's looking healthy so far. No signs of pests, mold or deficiencies. One thing I've noticed is the bud tops. They are like shooting straight upwards while the other 3 strains im growing the leaves are flat with the snowball bud starting to form. Will be interesting to see what her flowers look like. Defoliated and trimmed a couple low shoots that weren't going to make it to the canopy.

Some defoliation and trimming of lower side branches that weren't reaching the canopy. Got her opened up to the light now She's stretching pretty good. She's looks really nice. The LST turned out good and she filled the center evenly. The leaves are not bunching up and causing a covered canopy issue. I did trim a few leaves above to allow light penetration but she evenly spaces her branches in the center very well. Definitely a good Scrogging strain

Buds are a little bigger. Some frost is appearing on the tops. Looks like medium to small buds due to many colas. She's starting to smell a bit.

She's starting to swell her buds a little. Nice looking flower so far. I used pipe cleaners to help separate the tops from each other to allow more light in. I did some targeted defoliation of fan leaves blocking bud sites. Every other week I give 10ml of Alaskan Morbloom and 5 ML of Grow Big from Fox Farm. In a couple weeks going to switch to 2ml Grow Big and 15ml of Alaskan Morbloom PK fert

She still flowering. TH Seeds says she grows slowly indoors so I'll have to give her some fertilizer next watering. I'll use fish emulsion or hydrolysate. I already topped with Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil.

She's still swelling and throwing pistils but more pistils are maturing everyday. She's going to finish in a couple weeks hopefully. I had to give her a light feeding as yellowing started but the buds aren't close to being finished. The indica flowers are pretty.

Sorry I been busy working alot. I cut her 2 weeks ago. She's curing right now. She did take a few weeks longer to finish just like the breeder said if grown inside. She knobbed up pretty good. Nice medium small dense nuggets. Smells like pinesol and fresh dirt.
