So this week has been a late update. Simply due to work-related matters.
After doing some research I found out the nutrients I'm using are completely wrong for weed. That doesn't matter since my new nutes are arriving in a couple of days. The plant wasn't too happy with the flush but it needed to be done. They will be on the new formula as soon as they arrive.
I don't want to change the pot but I"m going to since the soil is way too wet.
This plant will no longer be going in the closet but staying on my windowsill, This is a decision that I've been grappling with for the past week. It came down to changing this into a bonsai style grow or a full grow in the closet, seeing as it wasn't growing as fast I decided to go with the bonsai style.
Learning to adapt is key in nature, this plant has made me learn that lesson the hard way. I was expecting a real full-sized plant, instead, I'm getting something that I don't want. Moving forward I'm going to treat it like I would if it was fully grown. That means as soon as it's repotted it's going to start LST. The pistils (nodes) have began to appear in the lowest leaves and I'm going to take full advantage.
I've got some handymen coming over to fix things around my apartment in a couple of weeks time. The closet lights I ordered won't arrive until after they've gone. I was wondering, how long can I leave the plant without light?
Ideally, they'll be without it for at least 36 hours.
36 hours without light will be too long. It will stretch and cause problems. If you can get a cheap bulb to hide it somewhere then that would be a lot better. I start my seedlings on a 23w cfl daylight bulb. You can get a 4 pack for like $10 at home improvement stores. I will post a link below to the lights I use. Hope that helps
These lights work great for seedlings. Not sure if it is an option but it would be a lot better than no light.

Hey, You'll learn sth with every grow. Since it is an auto i wouldn't expect to much but you can still try your best. i'll follow along. Keep on going:)
You gotta start somewhere!! Good luck with all your growing!! There’s a learning curve no doubt ! But if you made it this far and you really wanna grow then your second time around will be much smoother! 💯 good luck 🍀👍
