The Gorilla Cookies from Fastbuds sprouted. It was taken to the water for 24h in a dark, well ventilated place, then to paper towel for 72h till sprout in more 24h. I noticed a little stretch and dropped the light to 30cm away from the seedling.

Seems to be growing faster since I raised watering levels. Went harder on LST at the beginning of week 3. It seems she doesn't care, reacting really fast to bending.

Watered with nutrients for the first time. On day 16 with liquid Worms Biofertilizer and Bokashi as soil cover. Seems It took It very well. Leaves are trying to turn towards blue light spectrum, so I'm tying the plant down daily trying to get those leaves exposed. After 2 days ir seems to be working well.

As we enter week 4, she starts showing really quick growth. It's been drinking alot so I raised watering from 0,5L to 1L, with humidity levels on 40% and 32° C she's asking for It every two days. I don't know If food os enough, but I won't be raising levels before she shows a real deficiency for the sake of learning. On day 25 we had rain after 6 months, humidity raised to 60-70%.

At the beginning of week 5 I found some pests, looks like Thrips but I saw some gnats as well. Applied soap + garlic + Pepper solution on leaves and top of soil. Watered 500 ml since it's recovering from overwater. Pests didn't go away quickly, treating with neem oil and traps. After some days I can't see them on the leaves anymore, some on the traps and one gnat spotted on soil. They did quite a damage qnd altough the plant is shooting It seems to be suffering.

I made the mistake of watering her while recovering from overwatering. Tought she might be suffering from deficiencies and microorganisms could help with the pests, didn't realize It could get worse from overwatering. On day 38 she looked terrible, It looks like calcium lock out, since I top dessed with Cal. After 3 days without watering and leaving It alone, on day 41 she seems to be recovering fine, looking alot better.

She is finally getting healthier from the past problems. Growing is still slow tough. New shoots everywhere, but growing really slow. Made some new LST so she gets as much as light as possible.
