I submerged the seed in water for 24hrs, then placed in Coco coir in a half filled "Pot-Noodle" pot with drainage holes, the reason it is half filled is that if the seedling becomes "Leggy", I can add more Coco to the pot to correct before it becomes an issue. I then placed it in a propagator (85% RH), on a heat mat (25˙), under a 27w aquarium LED light bar (250 PPFD). This bar's spectrum is geared towards plant growth. She popped with her helmet attached, I had to assist. So far, so good! 👍

Day 7, & she has her 2nd node, so I've potted-on to a 2-3lt pot. I've moved her to a tent & started the harden-off process, & she's looking healthy.

She is growing nicely, looks very healthy. My first grow with the addition of a homemade external Mist Maker 5, which can pipe-in up to 1.6l of mist per hour. Had to start LST, so I took 4 cuttings for cloning this week... 🙏

Gave her a defoliation & took 4 more cuttings this week, she bounced back the following day. She looks very healthy & is starting to get hungry, I don't want to feed her up too much, I need to keep her as a "Mother" for a little while! 🤰 🤱 👩‍👧

Starting week 9 of my first mother-plant attempt. Whilst she is growing at a high pace, she is now showing signs of a deficiency. I think it looks like a CalMag def, so I've started adding .5ml per litre. May be I need to increase her overall nutes, I thought if I fed her less, she'd grow slower... guess I'm wrong? Still, she has produced 5 healthy clones! 😍

Starting week 12: Signs of a deficiency are still present, not sure what it is though. I've been told it's a pH fluctuation & also a "K" issue. I've flushed her with pH 5.8... Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Starting week 23. Starting week 12 flower. Very frosty & nicely purple. The Trichomes appear cloudy & red, about 5% are amber. I've started harvesting the upper buds, filled my drying box, so I'll finish harvesting once the first lot is "jarred". All harvested, trimmed & dried. 12.73oz now curing... 😊
