First time I shoot a germination timelapse. That was about 36 hours in 2 min, if you are interested. She took a while to trigger though. Let's see how she grows.

She's starting under a seedling lamp outside the tent and the humidity is a bit low. I used a dome for a few hours, but decided just to let her grow. Won't affect her too much in the long run and I really don't need to squeeze every gram out of my plants.

She's doing well. Another week started in low humidity. The meter is on wet soil hence the high number which is inaccurate. Mostly 45-50%. Topped her on day 10 which turned out to be a FIM.

Last week's topping turned out to be a FIMing. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I wasn't planning for it. I guess that makes it a true FIM. I tied a branch too tight during LST and it snapped while the plant was growing. Reminder to avoid training too tightly.

Four week of vegetation and the canopy is filling up nicely. Lost the branch I tied back unfortunately. I need to make cleaner cuts in the future.

I think she's starting to stretch. Week 5 in veg is rather unusual for an auto with a 8-week flowering period.

She's definitely in flower. I'd say she started about three days before the start of this (fifth) week and she's about ten days in now. Not much branching.

Still growing strong. Stretch is over or almost over. She looks pretty. The canopy is not as flat as I had hoped but that's thanks to the botched topping in her second week.

Still growing well. She's less branchy and bushy than I expected but the stems are looking real nice. The buds are starting to turn purple and develop a nice trichome coat.

I was away for the entire week. I have no watering systems so I just saturated before I left. The plant had just dried up when I was back, but showing light nutrient deficiecies.

This is the fifth or sixth week in bloom and the Fast Buds has this listed at 8 weeks. In other words the end is near. I don't think she will yield much. Maybe just over 100g.

This is her final week. I gave her the last feeding and I will cut her soon. She lack density on all factors but looks really pretty and I can't wait to taste.

Annnnnnndddddddd we're done. Eight weeks in flower and I might have let her go too far. Many amber trichomes, but that's mainly on the tops of the upper buds (tops of the tops, hehe).

Harvested and left to dry in the tent. Ideal drying conditions for once, temps 22-24 degrees C and humidity steady 58-63%. I don't have anything else growing in the tent, so the lights are off. This is really the first time I have these drying conditions.
