I bought 3 Northern Lights Auto seeds from Vision seeds. My plan was to only grow 1 girl as this is my first ever grow so I only tried to germinate 2 seeds but after a couple days both seeds looked pretty dead so I put the third seed in some wet paper towel and after 2 days it had a nice tap root. I put the seed in a 5 gallon smart pot with some basic soil + perlite. This will be an outdoor grow but I started inside under 2 CFL bulbs I had laying around. Kept them on for 24 hours mostly and when it was sunny I put it outside but it became a little heat stressed so it didn't stay long in the sun. The plant isn't inside a grow tent, it just sits in my room with the two CFL's about 5cm (2 inch?) from the leaves. Very excited for my first grow, really like looking at it :) Any advice is welcome!

I went on a holiday for a few days so I couldn't take any pictures from day 8-13. I left the plant under the two CFL's the whole time (24hrs on) and asked someone to move the lights further away if it grew too tall. To my surprise this baby had grown a whole lot in the last couple days without me taking care of her. She's 26 cm (10 inch) wide and about 11 cm (4.3 inch) tall. The weather around here is still pretty bad for this time of the year, always cloudy, so I think I will keep her inside for another week. Hope the sun will start pushing through after next week :p I'm also thinking of giving the first nutes, 'Plagron alga grow' at about 1ml/l or should I wait? As always any advice is welcome!

21 days old. Still inside due to bad weather but growing fine I think. I really want to put her outside but it's been cloudy all week and lots of hard wind. Gave some grow nutes and tried some LST, did I do it right? Overall I'm very happy with how she's growing in such a small amount of time. Any advice or tips are welcome :)

Good idea with the ponytailing thing ! Don't you worry this could bring mold though?
