-3/5/23 Diary Start -3/5/23 --foreword: this is 1 of 4 auto flower plant started at the same time. This is the first time I have tried growing auto flower cannabis. --Soil: used reclame soil form previous plants mixed with more worm casting and perlite, the Buildasoil Craft Blend and buildabloom was used as soil amendments. --put into soil about a centimeter or two under surface, tried to get it in the middle of the pot. Soil received about a letter of water before inserting seed and then a light misting of the top. -3/8/23 Well I put cover crop in the soil and it has started growing, making weird fluffy pockets under the surface. Also I feel like its going to make it hard to tell when the cannabis seed starts sprouting. -3/9/23 watered the top with about 10 oz. cover crop is growing faster than expected and is making it hard to identify the cannabis seedling, if it has even sprouted yet. -3/11/23 still can't tell if the cannabis seed has sprouted, cover crop is doing well. Will keep checking every day and when I can see the cannabis seedling I will start week one. -3/13/23 still cant spot the cannabis, sprayed with just enough water to make the top layer of soil most. -3/17/23 well still couldn't spot the cannabis seed sprouting. Removed the cover crop that was growing in the center and added new soil, then new seed of the same type was added. Sprayed the surface with water and put back under the light. -3/21/23 may have spotted the cannabis sprouting, will have to wait a few days to confirm. -3/22/23 located a seedling near the center that looks darker than the rest. This could be the one, will check again tomorrow. -3/23/23 the seedling that was in question yesterday was in fact the cannabis, cover crop seedlings around it were pulled to give space. -3/25/23 looking good and growing fast, spade leaves are coming in nicely and should have its first shade leaves my the end of next week. Tomorrow will be the start of week 1, will start LST around week 3 or 4. -3/25/23 Week End

6/17/23 done with this plant, will be harvesting tomorrow. Smells like glue, no berry or fruit scent. Maybe the next time I grow this it will do better.
