Germination done in a zip lock bag , in a wet paper tower away for 3-4 days , then transferred to red plastic cup in 40%coco/35% perlite and rest is soil. First seedling came out of soil after day 4 . In the photo is 2nd day of seedling out . First week/ and half seedling were just in a small LED greenhouse . Was unable to maintain temperature, or humidity as grow tent has not been delivered yet. The average temperature in the room was around 20°C in day time, and dropped to about 17°/18°c at night.

First week of the plant spent inside humidity dome for most of the day/night. The grow tent hasnt arrived yet, so seedling managed to stretch out a little looking for the light, but its perfect in our case as we are going to burry it anyway later on.

Not much change at start of the week, the seedling just kept stretching to find light. Supported the seedling with extra layer of soil to cover the stem, and get ready for transplant at the end of the week. Transplanted seedling into 15 L Root Nurse Fabric pot. Watered it only around the edges of where to roots are going to go look for water.! Grow tent arrived so will be putting inside for the first time at the end of the week.! Grow tent set up at the start was homemade exhaust fan and intake fan made out of two handheld 15W fans with plastic bottles attached to create “duckting” . One was at the top of the tent ( outake) other was placed at bottom ( intake) The had an clip on fan inside the tent to blow air around, but was having to manually turn it down ever so often as the plant was still young. Grow light was a 300W grow light I got on Ebay of another grower . It heats up the tent perfectly to around 28°C so I was lucky not needing extra ventilation to extract the heat. I also got a small dehumidifier/ and humidifier in tent and was just manually adjusting humidity as could not automate the system yet.

Week started with being in a grow tent. The plant reacted very well to transplanting and grew overnight pretty much every day since. I started LST extra early, as I really wanted to have a low/even canopy due to limited space ( 140cm grow tent) Continued LST on every new fan leaf/ branch that sprouted out, till I reached my desired number of branches ( 8 ) Plant responding really well to slightly cold environments at night, as Im having to switch fans and lights off , due to them being too loud to sleep at the moment. Humidity at night time sometimes rising upto 85-90% , ( which is when I decided to get a dehumidifier) now humidity at night doesnt go over 79%. ;)

Started the week by letting the plant just grow and develop all the leaves and not much to report this week. At the end of the week, I was going away for 3 days , so was able to maintain near perfect temperature and humidity because I was able to leaves all fans on, and not mind the noise . Also I done some of the heaviest defoliation and LST on branches .! now secured in this position for full 4 days being away.! Also, toppped the plant at the 8 node, but happed to topped it ever so slightly high and the plant regrew 3 extra branches 🤦🏽 Decided to get rid of 1 of the top branches as I knew I want to leave even space for good aeration later on in the grow.

Plans responding, incredibly well to light stress training not many changes happening this week. Plant seems to accept all nutrients really well and I keep pH of water 6- 7 At the end of the week I tested run-off water and it was a bit low in 5.1 region. I just did pH up and fed it some water only for two days. Plant reponss well and is creating way More new leaves and nodes. I keep LST and leaf tucking to achieve maximum light exposure and air penetration the cannopy. This week I upgraded to oscillating, 14 inch Blaupunkt Tower fan, which fits perfectly in corner of the tent. End of the week, plant is responding to LST every day , only watered it with water this time As tried to correct ph Water and let Plant soak up alll the nutrients it already has in soil. ( plus think autoflowers dont require as much nutes anyway)

Started the week with LST and adding more of Bloom and Top Max to watering. Still unsure how much to water perfectly, but seems to be drying out every other day, so I water with around 2.5l, as the plant is quiet low… Started noticing white pistils shooting out below all budsites so we are definitely into flowing now.’ 🍃🍁 Continued to defoliate and LST the plant into its final positions. Attached garden wires to the pot , and hoping now the buds can grow in these positions… will reajust if needed later on. Shes definitely pre Floweing staring week 6 📈🍃

Not much to report, apart from just vigorous growth this week, on all main 8 branches.! The pistils are all white, long and some are starting to give out nice aroma. Watering the plants with about 2 l of water. I mix 1 l with recommended dosage and then add 1l of clean water, mix it together, keep the ph between 6-7, but not overly obsessing with it as plant is very happy.

Added Scrog this week, but its not really the right size for my tent as the swuares are too big for my small siZe plant. Going to leave it on for now as I have clones and haze growing hopefully fitting the nettingg. Clear signs of flowering, going to flush it once soon, to get rid of nute build up Took out all the posts as plant no longer grows in size. Gives it more room for buds to fatten up and improve air flow.
