She germinated rather quickly and grew a root within 48 hours. She popped her head above the soil line on November 10.

She's doing well in her first week. I noted the warped leaves but nothing much to worry about. I think I need to stop refreshing my soil and start with a new batch. She's grown well in her first and I've maintained VPD within optimal.

She will get full attention until she starts flowering so she should big and bulky then. I need this one to top 150g and I think it shouldn't be too difficult. So far I am optimistic. I topped her early, as I always do and she's taking it well.

Her first week in training and she's doing well. Good size for her age. Recovered well from early topping last week and she finished her third week with a full canopy. I expect flowering to trigger in the next week and I am happy with her size.

Week 4 started well, but now I see leave damage from thrips. I ordered traps and insecticidal soap. This is my first bug infestation ever. Hope I manage it well and recover before too much damage. The plant is a good size for her age. I seem to be growing everything short these days. Not sure if genetics or heavy training. She should start flowering soon, if she hasn't started already.

Now in the fifth week and she's started flowering. The stretch is clear. She also started stinking earlier than expected. No issues so far and I am happy with her development.

I don't know if it is my training that keeps these plants short or something else. Maybe the pot size, but that affects overall size and here it is just a matter of height. So now towards the end of stretch she's only 49 cm tall.

Having to come up with a comment every week is annoying. Really not much to say.

I left her unattended for five days over the New Year's holiday. I'm watering her every third or fourth day, but she wasn't dry or wilted when I returned. I don't remember ever seeing leaves so thin, but she's healthy and I have no worries.

We're in the final stretch now. We're about two weeks out, but I may cut her down next week for a lighter high. My last two harvests were rather heavy with the couch-lock effect.
