Northern Cheese Haze Auto - First Grow

Firefly Seedling stage! Jiffy pellet was transplanted into a solo cup w/ my buffered coco (with drainage holes). Lights on 24/0 until the cotyledons opened up, at which point I started 18/6 lighting. LED placed about 12" up @ 40% power, per manufacture recommendation. Temps were higher than desired and humidity was low, placed bowls of cold water in the tent to try and fix that (not sure if it did anything). At some point I also purchased a small/cheap humidifier and placed it in the tent. Some combo of both those actions seemed to fix RH. A full strength nuterient mix was made and watered down to match the EC guide following the template here: https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/how-to-grow-cannabis-seedlings-in-coco-coir/

Firefly Week 2? Not exactly sure how a grow timeline aligns, 8/29/25 (the older of the two photos) is exactly 2 weeks after the germination was complete so seems like everything is lined up... Nerveless I'm backlogging a lot of this diary and will timestamp each photo for continuity sake. Plant has now been transplanted from the solo cup to its final home. 3gal fabric pot with buffered coco. At this point the plant is getting full strength nutrient solution about ~ 1000EC. Watering is twice daily using high frequency fertigation following the Coco For Cannabis guide, once at light on and once 10.5 hours after. My small humidifier in the tent is keeping the RH around 60%. Without the RH drops into the 30s. Still keeping bowls of water in the tent as well to keep the humidity up during this phase, particularly giving that the temps were in the higher range of what I think they were supposed to be.

Firefly Week 3! Wow, I did not expect this much growth so quickly! Needless to say I was checking the tent as often as I could because how excited I was about the growth. Two small fans were added this week for airflow, not oscillating but placed such that they would nicely move air around. (Not pictured is the one above giving a tiny little breeze to the leaves). Big thing of note for this week was I started the LST, Photos are the day before, day of (2x), and day after. Just using some garden tie and clothes pins attached to the pot. Still giving it full strength (1000ish EC) nutrient solution. At this point I was checking forums/guides/websites non-stop to figure out what in the world I'm doing... really had/have no clue if things were going good/bad at this point.

Firefly Week 4! Only photos I have from this week are in the beginning part of the week Nerveless even over just a couple days this plant has exploded! Not sure if this is typical or not but I'm enthusiasts as can be. However, major scare - when watering on 9/7/25 I noticed the main stem had broken off! I must have damaged it during LST the night before and only noticed the damage the next day. Guess this means I accidently topped my first grow. I had read a lot of warnings about topping an auto beforehand when doing my initial research so I really had no clue what would happen from here. Over the week it had seemed to recover and grow at the same rate it was before, if even a tad more. Not sure if I will quantify it as a positive or a negative thing when looking back, had me spooked at the least. Besides accidently topping the plant, rest of week was generic. Consistent LST (much more careful lol). Growth was steadily aggressive, same full strength (1000ish EC) nutrient solution 2x a day(+100-200 runoff EC typically), adjusted the light as the plant grew. RH+Temps in good windows.
