Seed was soaked for 3 hrs in water then tapped once to make sink, 6 hrs later was then placed into paper towels for 24hrs till 1cm of root was Showing. Was then planted into a mix of cheap potting mix and perlite, Est 50/50%. Very happy with how fast these seeds germinated, hope rest goes well. Got the light at around 18inch @75w Est 150-250 PPFD. Probably just gonna use seaweed solution and a little Procal 2 start, later on might up it a bit with Green planet nutes.

Growing good now, will probably tip within next 2 days on 4th node then LST. Also mixed good compost in top layer on D12. Light at 15inchs, at %80. Est about 150-250ml water and nutrients every 1-3 days pending on moisture levels. Looks like may have possible deficiencies but not worried yet, upped the calmag a little 2day, see what happens:)

Really starting to power along now. Can't seem to fix the problem though, possibly my PH tester is crap and is giving bad readings. Light at 15inchs @80% about 250ml watering when needed.

Going good this week, a bit more training and a little defoliation. Seen 1st pistols on day 31 Was watering with 1.5-2ltrs every 2-3 days which I think was to long apart and was drying to much, maybe got stressed. So just being giving less more frequently. Topped up, worked in Mykos and more soil to pot. Light at 17inchs @%100 When good weather also still getting 4-5hrs sun 5days a week. Definitely in stretch mode atm, hope she keeps powering:)

Still powering along. Getting bigger than I expected so had to get tent up, was only supposed to be closet crop lol. Topped pot with 14g of green planet back country bloom on day 38, being giving about 2ltrs water around 24-36hrs. Also more training n defoliation. Got more room now so set up the SE3000 at 17inchs @200w around 500-630par over entire canopy.

Not much this week a little trimming and last lst. Watering with 2.5 ltrs water every 24-36hrs pending. Giving procal every 2nd. Gave seaweed solution 10ml, massive 20ml, liquid weight 4ml and rezin 4ml in 2.5ltrs water on day 49 ph around 7.0. Hung the 100w for more side lighting on day 47.

Seems to be going OK even though I think she has some potassium deficiencies. Mixed 3ml PK spike to weekly mix of other additives and watered on day 56. A bit more defoliation here and there. Worked Par up to about 750 at top and back to 19hrs light. Topped pot with 11g GP boost on D51 and will add another 12g of GP bloom on d58.

Not the best week. What I thought was a potassium deficiency was actually ph lockout. Couldn't figure it out for a few days which is gonna hurt yield especially during this time. I've never seen a plant deteriorate so quickly, see pics. I think the slow release GP nutes stuffed something up. Also haven't been getting enough run off during watering. Gave real good flush on D62 and watered on D64 today. Seems to look a bit better D64. Should of flushed a few days earlier, but couldn't diagnose problem. :)

Deleafed on D75 and put in darkness for 2days. Chopped and hung in tent for 9 days. Smoked up a fair bit before weighing so easily would of been over 3oz dry which was pretty surprising considering the problems. Bud has a strong fuel taste and smell with a little fruitiness.
