First time grower. This is my setup: HLG 260w Qb Mars hydro 2x4x5.9 grow tent Hyperfan Stealth 6 inch 315 cfm Can lite carbon filter 6 inch 400 cfm Dust Shroom 6 inch intake filter 0 cfm 2 Hurricane 6 inch clip fans 20L Smart Pot BioBizz nutrients Soil mix of 5% cow compost, 50% perlite/peat moss mix, 10% humus, 25% forest soil, 10% mulching (layer on the bottom of the pot and a small layer on the top) - Germinated Seeds in paper towel. Got a nice little root going after 48 hours. Put it in its pot with moist soil. - Day 1 kept on misting the top soil with water. - Day 3 was still only giving water but the pots were drying fast. - Day 4 I caved and gave it 0.5 litres of water with 0.5 ml root juice, acti-vera and alg-a-mic - Day 5 pots still a bit dry so I gave 1L of water. Might've been the fans so they've been moved. - Day 7. Gave it 2 ml root juice, 2 ml activera, 1 ml algamic and 1 ml bioheaven.

- Day 22 did a little more lst today. She seemed to have recovered well from yesterday. - Day 23 going well. She's really bushy so I'm debating light defoliation. - Day 24 another feed today. So bushy I can't really get in there to do more lst but I'll see tomorrow. - Day 25 lots of white tips. Need to cut back a bit on fish mix or give plain water. Fun to watch her grow tho - Day 26 most Def nute burn. So stims only next feed before switching to grow and bloom. - Day 27 stims only this watering in 2L of water. But droopy but she'll pick up - Day 28 some light defoliation. Gonna be watering every 2 days now to avoid drooping and see how she reacts.

- Day 29 another feed today in 2L of water in the morning. By the afternoon it was still droopy so definitely underwatering. Gave another 1L of plain water to see if she perks up by tomorrow. - Day 30 she's picked up again definitely underwatering so will try watering 3L tomorrow. - Day 31 another feed in 3L of water this time. Trying to anticipate drooping. Let's see how she is tomorrow. - Day 32 looking good. Slight nute burn so I'll back off on the grow or give plain water next - Day 33 she seems okay. Soil is still moist due to the ac being on 24/7. Notice a slight mag def - Day 34 gave her 3L of water with 3g of Epsom. Showed more signs of mag deficiency so hopefully this helps - Day 35 no idea if the Epsom has helped. Fingers crossed. Might have a drainage issue cuz as soon as I water the plants droop a bit so unsure if overwatering or drainage

- Day 43 mag def persists but she's not too bothered by it. Hope she recovers soon tho - Day 44 another feed in 2L of water minus the root juice and Epsom. Tad droopy but she was probably thirsty. Hope the Epsom helped. Gonna see how she does - Day 45 she's still suffering from mag def. I suspect the high temps in weeks 1-4 contributed so live and learn I guess. - Day 46 gave her 2L of watering with 1/2 tsp Epsom. Also defoliation her a bit and added some crushed eggshells to the top soil and mixed it in. - Day 47 she's looking good. - Day 48 another 2L watering with 1/2 tsp Epsom and some egg she'll soil amendment in the top layer of soil. - Day 49 she seems okay. Might increase watering soon.

Probably chop her next week - Day 76 soil still moist but she's going well - Day 77 decided to do a proper flush today with run off.

Week 12. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

Loved growing this plant. I think I might have made some mistakes with the feeding and the initial growing and thus stunted the plant but I think it recovered well and produced a nice yield. For anyone growing with a hlg Quantum board I highly recommend calmag as the plant was dying for it. She took the nutes well and only burnt a little because of my overfeeding. She's an easy plant to grow and can't wait to grow her again in the future. Very resinous plant. Didn't stink up the place too much.

Loved growing this plant. She was an easy one to grow and handled my mistakes well. Can't wait to grow her again properly and see what she ends up like. The testers were really nice and predominantly diesel tasting with a hint of berries which is a shame as I was hoping for more berry taste but we'll see after the final dry and cure. Update in 2 weeks. Update: after drying her in a cardboard box for 7 days she's finally ready for her cure. She's smelling great. Stinks up the whole place. Very diesel dominant with a hint of berries. Hoping the berry flavor to become more pronounced after curing. FIN
