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 8. Pointed the fans towards the lights to allow the plants to grow a little bit.
- Day 9. Gave her another feed of stims but went a bit easier this time. 1ml of root juice, acti-vera, algamic, bioheaven.
- Day 10. Still going strong :)
- Day 11. Another round of stims for her 1ml of root juice, acti-vera, algamic, bioheaven
- Day 12 still growing
- Day 13 Another round of stims for her 1ml of root juice, acti-vera, algamic, bioheaven
- Day 14 stem thickening nicely
- Day 15 started with the veg nutes. 1 ml fish mix with 2 ml root juice, 1 ml acti-vera, 1 ml algamic, 1 ml bioheaven. She seems stunted and slightly droopy so started giving 2 L waterings and monitoring
- Day 16 she seems to have picked up again :)
- Day 17 slightly droopy but waiting until tomorrow for another water
- Day 18 another feed today. Same as before in 2L. She seems to be doing well tho.
- Day 19 she's a bit droopy today :(
- Day 20 she's picked up again :)
- Day 21 a little lst and another feed in 2L of water. Let's see how it goes
- 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 36 she was a little droopy so gave her another feed in 2L of water to correct any mistakes if I need to
- Day 37 seems to be starting her stretch.
- Day 38 another feed in 2L of water. Seems to be going okay
- Day 39 she's starting to stretch more now. Gonna add Epsom to the waterings until I see a change. Next grow I'll use some egg shells in the soil and Epsom in waterings
- Day 40 another 2L watering of nutes and 1 tsp Epsom to fight any mag deficiency. Hope she recovers soon
- Day 41 hope she recovers soon but at least the flowers are growing nicely
- Day 42 another feed in 2L of water with 1/2 top epsom
- 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.
- Day 50 2L watering today with nutes. Cut back on the grow to 1 ml as I saw some nute burn.
- Day 51 slight nute burn but overall she seems okay
- Day 52 gave her a 3L watering of water only. Gonna see how she copes
- Day 53 she seems to have reacted well to the 3L watering
- Day 54 gave her another 3L watering as she was already dry
- Day 55 all is well
- Day 56 no watering today as the soil is still moist but all looks to be going good. Might defoliate a little more during the week.
- Day 57 slight phosphorous def so I upped the bloom to 3ml. Still a slight nitrogen toxicity so I cut it down to 0.5 ml. Upped everything else to 3 ml and top max to 4 ml. Calyxes are starting to grow nicely.
- Day 58 all is well
- Day 59 3L watering of plain water today. She seems to be going well
- Day 60 calmag def and slight nute burn. Should've noticed it since yesterday. Live and learn. Note to self buy calmag
- Day 61 she was due a watering today but since the soil is still moist I'll hold off for today. Epsom for you tomorrow!
- Day 62 3L watering with 1+1/2 tsp Epsom.
- Day 63 hoping she recovers from the calmag def
- Day 64 she seems like a slow drinker. Holding off watering until tomorrow as the soil is still moist. Hope the Epsom helped
- Day 65 gave her 2L watering with nutes as she's not so thirsty. This will be my last feed of nutes.
- Day 66 seems to have taken the bloom nutes well. Water only from here on out.
- Day 67 2L plain watering today.
- Day 68 soil still moist. Cloudy Trichomes appearing.
- Day 69 2L plain watering today
- Day 70 lovely berry and diesel smell. Pretty pungent but only if you agitate her.
- Day 71 3L plain watering today. Starting her flush this week.
- Day 72 patiently waiting for the Pistils to recede now
- Day 73 soil still moist
- Day 74 3L plain watering today. The tester was ready and I must say I'm quite pleased with the smoke. Can only get better with curing.

- Day 81 going well
- Day 82 all good. Harvesting tomorrow hopefully.
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.
