Widow Bomb from seed

This is the story of the grow of a seedling that is my first seed that I cultivated at home. I had a male Hash Bomb regular plant and used that to fertilise three White Widow autoflowering female plants. The grow of these plants had problems with weak LED lights that were too far away from the plants, caterpillars, 3 rounds of fungus gnats, overwatering and soil that was too dense and retained too much moisture. All the plants were stunted in growth, so I decided to attempt fertilise the females to see if I could produce seeds at home. I also wanted to rectify my problems of the past with a new grow. New lights, new grow chamber, more ventilation from small fans in a stealth grow in a cupboard. I started with an 18/6 light cycle on a timer, with a 5m strip of cool white LED and a 5m strip of warm white LED. The vegetation chamber is much brighter than before and keeps the seedlings warm as we are heading into winter. The grow cupboard also has a flowering chamber at the bottom with a 5m red LED strip light, a 5m white LED strip, two white 13W LED spotlights and two computer fans of 140mm diameter. I used this flowering chamber to harvest two Hash Bomb female plants over 10 weeks in the flowering stage in a previous grow. Yield was low because of all the problems encountered along the way, but the quality was good. I had originally named it WWA2-1 referring to White Widow Auto, 2nd Generation, Plant 1. But on doing some research, I found out it wasn't guaranteed to be an auto flowering plant like its mother. It could be a regular genotype like the father. So, I renamed it "WBx-1" for Widow Bomb, unknown genotype, plant 1. WBx-1 only took 24 hours to sprout using the wet paper towel method. Day 2, I put it in a seedling pot of potting mix, perlite and propagation sand. Day 3, it was merging from the soil. By the end of week 1 it was 20mm tall and reaching for the light.
