- This is my First Cannabis lady that I had the pleasure of growing from seed to flower. (Strawberry Cheesecake Autoflower from Smiley Seeds in South Africa).
- I purposely did not apply any training techniques to her, as I wanted to see the plant grow in its natural state first, as it was my first grow, and flower yield wasn't my main objective, but rather to learn the process and make the beginner mistakes (as I did. lol) as I went through the process.
- The seedling was started just before Spring season arrived here in South Africa. The lady was grown in the Eastern Cape coastal region of South Africa.
- The lady was kept mostly in the window sill on Sunny days, spent some hours outdoors on perfect weather days, and spent the remainder of the time in a make-shift indoor tent with blue and red LED bulbs (12w to 80W).
