This is my first autoflower and grow. Germinated in water for 24hr. Then placed it between a wet kitchen napkin inside a ziplock bag for 24hr. Planted the seed 3 cm below soil. Will not be watering so no suffocation. Day 2 The plant is growing it's now 4.5cm tall. The stem looks a little stretched so I lowered the lights by 10cm to 51cm. The first baby leaf, one of them has a yellow patch, not sure why but I know that it falls off eventually. If anyone can clarify that would be great. :) Day 3 It's growing longer it's now 7cm. Conditions are good I've realized the new leafs have grown a little. No watering the soil still seems moist. Day 5 The height is at 9cm Conditions are in good range. No watering Day 7 New nodes are growing things are looking good. I still haven't watered it as the medium is still damp. I raised the lights back to 61cm (24inch) as I realized the leafs were curling a little. End of first week !!!

Day 8 Plants looks good growing however at a slow pace. Conditions are good still haven't watered her as the medium is still damp, will wait till it gets completely dry. As well no feeding yet, but maybe will start giving her a 50% nutrients in a couple of days. Day 10 Plants growing more looks like another node is on its way up. As for watering it's getting dry but mifhtght leave it for another day.

Day 14 Plants growing well, I gave her some water yesterday. Will be giving her as suggested 1/4 nutrients tomorrow. Just got my temp and humity controller in the mail and have set it up. (Temp not below 20c and humidity is set to 65. ) Day 18 Transplanted her to a 5gal fabric pot. Had her stretch covered. And gave her 1/4 nutrients. Day 20 The plants seem to stop growng and I am not sure reason anyone can suggest anything. Day 21 Still growth has slowed down tremendously.

This week showed slow signs of growth after transplanting. Thanks for the advise from the community, it was best if I planted it straight to its final pot. To avoid shocking the plant.

It started to show new growth woohoo! Little side leafs are growing. Started LST'ing. Hope she continues to grow! 2 days later... Response to LST is looking good.

She's growing well, not as fast as I thought. Fed her nutrients today at half strength. Let's see how she does this week. I checked runoff of pH and it was 5.8. how to adjust pH to be in optimal range?

She is growing fine. I have found some bugs inside. Thankfully I had the sticky yellow tape hanging around. Watered her so far and will be feeding in 2 days.

After the slow growth and recovery it has started to show good health. I have realized my ventilation wasn't enough. Now I have everything hooked up to a inline fan with a carbon filter. Gave it 1/4 of the required nutrients on pH 6.2.

This week the plants grew and things are looking good. I have upped the nutrients to 1/2 dose. with pH of 7.2

LST is working great, the lower branches are shooting up decreased the pH to 6.2. Watered it after 2 days with a of pH 6.5 I've noticed a little crystals on the leafs .

This week went well, however not sure why it's taking this long. Fed at Ph 6.2 Did some removal of dead leaves or ones that are yellowing. LST'd more to bring the bottom sites to shoot up.

Supposed to feed today but it seems the leave are pointing down. Tested the soil and it was damp 10cm deep.

This weak was very interesting for me, as the community made me noticed I might not have an auto flower seed. So I've decided to switch the lights to 12/12. I've been watering only this whole week as I've been told to flush before giving them the Bloom nutrients.

This week after watering and switching 12/12, had the medium dry out. Then fed her minimum dose of Bloom schedule. Done more LSTing and defoliating. As well removed discolored leaves and any lower growth that won't see the light of day. My week bloom feeding schedule was nutrients then 2 days later just water at Ph 6.4 (from my RO filter) then another 2 days nutrients. Alternating with water and nutrients, still at half recommended bloom dosage.

She seems happy will continue to feed her every other day with minimum dose. Looking forward to see her grow her fruits this week. One of the leaf shows sign of a deficiency not sure what. I believe its calcium. (Update, was brought to my attention that I probably spilt some nutrients while feeding her, as it's the only leaf that shows these signs.)

Approaching end of 4 weeks flowering. She is looking good after some defoliation. Same schedule for feeding, however I have upped the recommended dose to 11ml per gallon at pH 6.2 and she has responded nicely, will be increasing to full recommended dose at next feed.

She's fruiting nicely, a month past half way through flowering. Will be increasing to Max dosage for this feed only, as I will have to begin decreasing back on dosage before end of flower. Same feeding schedule but I have increased the days between feeds by an extra day. ( Was given a tip to starve her a little).

She's been growing well the last week. Made a little changes to feeding schedule. Feeding full dosage this week followed by 1-2 days of drying medium then water with 30% more followed by another Nutrient feeding.

Almost there to harvest. She seems nice and healthy. It started to show some yellowness.

Started to flush her.

Learnt a lot from this grow and will be doing adjustments for the next one.
