01/06/25. Starting week 1 This baby is the runner up for smallest in height. Her leaves aren’t small though, like one of her friends. It’s a bit colder than I think is good right now. The day temps are where I’d prefer the night to be. Might need to put a portable heater soon. The temperature just isn’t staying up with the rest of the place. Soils pretty dry now. I’m going to water today. I imagine the water will run right through, so I’ll be spraying the top a bit to get it damp and then slowly watering to make sure the soil actually absorbs some of it. I’ve complained about my light being a dud or something (the viparspectra) and now I’m pretty sure it is. I have the light at 13 inches up at 50% and still getting stretched stems. This light should be 24 inches or more away supposedly at this age. Been like this since sprout as well. lol. Whatever. My camera is taking terrible pictures today. Just doesn’t wanna focus. No idea what its issue is. The ones I got for this were mostly crap, sorry. At this stage not much else to report on. Thanks for looking ✌️

01/13/25. Beginning of week 2. Well.. she’s just chillin doin plant stuff n things. She’s moving a long well. She seems a bit short. The only reason she’s reaching 2 inches is because her leaves are lifted up so high. She was given plain ph’d water today. Her last watering was with half the manufacturer recommended ratio for a seedling. That made it 0.6 ml of each the 3 parts. She seems happy with that. I water her when the top of her soil looks dry and her pot is light. I will most likely be transplanting her before next update comes, as her leaves are starting to span across her little pot. No roots showing at bottom yet. Thanks for lookin ✌️

01/21/25. Jumpin into the start of week 3. She’s plantin it up. She was a bit smaller than her friends at the start, but she’s caught up and doing nicely. I gave her water with half the manufacturer recommended ratio of nutrients So 0.6 across each three part. She started paling and cotyledons yellowed. It’s been REALLY cold where I’m at and it’s been hard to even keep the whole house at 70 f or above. The little baby plants have been lucky to get even 70 as a temperature. The polar vortex thinger should be giving us a break tomorrow, supposedly, so should warm up a bit. Light is at 18 inches up and about 90%. Oh, she was also transplanted yesterday into a 1 gallon nursery pot. Thanks for lookin. ✌️

01/27/25. Welcome to the start of week 4. This little lady is lovin life. As I mentioned last update, she was a bit smaller than her friends previously, but she has been playing catch up. Shes doing a great job. She now has the same amount of nodes as most of her friends, that being 4. Her leaves and stature are just a bit smaller. I will top her as soon as she hits 5 nodes. I think she’s definitely favoring the temperatures being a little warmer. It’s still not where I’d like it, but an improvement. She was just watered yesterday, slowly, until a bit of run off. I’ve upped her food to 2.5 across 3 parts, as well as upped calmag (1) and silica (2). I pulled a dip shit move and left my measuring tape in the flower tent and it’s lights off, so I’ll have to come back tomorrow to update that. I doubt she’s much different than last measurement though honestly. Update: 01/29/25- updated measurement and watered with food. 01/31/25- topped and plain watered. Also added picture/video. Went ahead and topped at 4th node because with the node spacing it seemed a better spot for this one. I did wait until 5th was there though. Thanks for lookin. ✌️

02/03/25. Start of week 5 This lady is doing well. She was topped like 3 days ago and is pushing growth. She was plain watered today, slowly, until runoff. Roots are starting to hit bottom so she’ll probably need a transplant soon. She’s drinking every 2-3 days. She’s having some nice growth the past few days now that it’s not cold af. She’s enjoying the heat. Not much else going on currently. If anything else happens I’ll come back and update. Thanks for lookin. ✌️

02/11/25 start of week 6 She has been transplanted into a 2 gallon now. I usually woulda put her in her final pot but I have limited room at the moment.. so she’ll have to be transplanted again later. She has also been topped a second time. She’s changed drastically since last update. She’s a bit smaller than some of her friends but she’s growing fast now. Watering whenever her pots light/soils dry, with no set amount- water slowly until a bit of run off. Since she just got into fresh soil I watered last with just silica and calmag. She’s 7 inches tall now. Just saying it here because GD is being weird and the numbers keep saying different than what I put. Think that covered everything. Thanks for lookin.✌️ Updates 02/14/25- fed/watered 02/15/25- added picture

02/17/25. Start week 7 veg Transplanted to final home and moved into flower tent. Not flipping yet. Switched the timers to veg mode. I want this grow to do at least 8 weeks. This girl has been crazy with growing. She was a bit small with no much branching a bit back, but now since she’s taken off, she really grown lots. She was watered in and fed after transplant She’s now under the 320w at 50% about 25 inches away. If I notice any problems I’ll adjust the dim. I’ve got her propped up so she’s closer in height to her taller friends. It’s gotten really cold again so I’m guessing growth will slow down like a couple weeks back :( The cold this grow has really been a pain in the ass.

02/24/25. Start week 8 veg This cutie has been getting some training just to open her up a bit before she gets flipped. She’s loooing great now and she’s ready. Just waiting on her friend to catch up and we’re good. She was watered yesterday with ph water with calmag. She drank about half a gallon. Her next watering will be with a feed. 02/26/25- did some more last minute training and cleaned up around her nether regions and got rid of lower growth. 02/27/25. Watered/ fed half gallon. Nothin else to mention for her this update. Thanks for lookin. ✌️✌️
