This was better than I expected. The plants are hardy, and the stock is strong. Responded very well to LST, and very forgiving of mistakes. My first auto-flower experience is a good one! The plant is good about showing what's wrong and what's right. I had my nutrients a little hot at one point, and she showed it in her leaves. She recovered quickly. I was excited when she started to bud, and I was blown away by the robust growth in the last week. She was producing new calyxes, but I had trichomes turning amber. I decided to take her at that time to avoid getting too much amber in the trichomes. I'm not after couch-lock. She looks good, smells great, and I am very satisfied with the results.

The plants started out with the odds stacked against them. I had to leave for a family emergency right after they germinated, and I ended up killing off two of the four seedlings. One was in horrible shape. Despite being waterlogged, it recovered. Not only did it recover, it yielded 429g wet, untrimmed bud at harvest. The grow was fantastic. I had one period where I was concerned about overwatering, but it wasn't so bad. I used liquid nutrients throughout the grow. I put the HydroGro Flora, Micro, and Bloom in RO water with Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus. Feedings were every other day. Started nutrients at quarter strength and moved up to full strength every other day. I did LST for several weeks, cleaning up the stem as it grew. The plant took the LST and the pruning very well. Stayed under 20/4 light cycle the entire grow. Under a Big to 1500W LED. It ain't fancy but it worked. Tent was ventilated with a 6" fan and carbon filter. Had a tower fan on 24/7. 420 Fast Buds hit it outta the park with their Blue Dream'Matic. I look forward to growing this strain again.

I'm also doing one of these and mine is very very small too. I wondered if I'd stressed her too much in the beginning because I wasnt sure wether to grow indoor or out. Looking at yours maybe it's just one of them unlucky things that happen. Following to see the outcome of the tiny one 😉💚

@AngryBird, I thought my little one was going to be my big producer because I heavily stressed out her sisters (read as drowned two and nearly killed another). Of the two that survived my original four, the little one was strongest. My guess is that some of the plants have tiny stature due to the ruderalis expressing its genetics. I'm going to Rodelize it to see if the next-gen seeds have similar sizing. I want to preserve the genes for micro-grows. I can envision a SoG inside a cabinet grow one day.
