Well, I managed to mess up my first attempt with the Alien OG Auto. An internal circulating fan in my tent conked out and I didn't notice until it was too late. The seedling was stunted and since she's an auto, I didn't want to waste valuable time waiting for her to recover so I decided to just start again. 24 hours floating in water, then 24 hours in a damp paper towel and she is ready for soil.
Day 1 - Normally I start my autos in their forever home, a 5 gallon container. I decided this grow to start in a 1 gallon container and then transplant to the 5 gallon container later as I do with the photos. I normally don't have any transplant shock, so I figured I'd try this. I'm thinking since I'm starting in a 1 gallon container, she'll be getting fed nutrients much more often than she would in a 5 gallon container, for hopefully better veg growth. 😋

My Alien was not a tall girl. but she didn't care. She did her own thing her own way. Looks like her way might have been a pretty good way, my scissors were gunked up almost immediately 😃 And I must say that she was an easy one to trim, took care of it myself in less than an hour. I'm looking forward to this one, smells kinda spicy almost 👽
SMOKE REVIEW
This is some tasty stony stuff! The yield was small, hey that happens, but the important part is this is some very nice smoke! Smoothest I've had in quite some time, even with minimal cure time. Good stuff 😎
