For an intro to how and why I decided to go this route, please see my Blueberry Auto #1 grow.
Week 1
Day -1: Attempted germination of seed using modified paper towel method method.
Day 0: Germination and placed into 2 gallon fabric pot with coco and covered with large plastic bag.
Day 1:
Day 2: Sprout popped through coco.
Day 3:
Day 4:
Day 5: 850 ml water (30 EC)
Day 6: 250 ml water (150 EC)
Day 7:
I clearly overwatered the plant starting on day 5 and extending into week 2.

Light: ViparSpectra VA1000 - 1000W (230w actual) dimmable LED
Tent Size: 2x2x4
**My Day Counts are the # of days since the seed germinated and was put into its initial medium (Germination and first placement = Day 0).
Week 2
Day 8:
Day 9:
Day 10:
Day 11:
Day 12: Converted to passive hydro/Kratky method
Day 13:
Day 14:
Similar to my Blueberry #1 plant, I overwatered this little lady and she stalled her growth. Eventually, I decided to swap grow methods and converted her to a passive hydro method.

Week 3
Day 15: n/a
Day 16: Starting to recover
Day 17: n/a
Day 18: Recovering very nicely
Day 19: ...growing...
Day 20: FIMed the plant before any sign of flowering
Day 21: Put into 64 oz Amber Mason Jar
After taking maybe a day to adjust to being dug up and transplanted into clay pebbles, the plant started to take off this week. I messed up the Nute recipe (forgot CalMag), so I used that recipe for a few days to rinse the roots of any coco before adding a new nutrient recipe. Signs of a deficiency have shown on the bottom fan leaves.

Week 4
Day 22: There was a possible calibration error on my pH pen, so things may have been sketchy for a while.
Day 23: Put on Flowering Nute Recipe #1 after seeing pistils.
Day 24: Plant seems to have recovered from any FIM stunt or pH errors...though there is still leaf damage on the bottom large fan leaf. I don't want to defoliate since flowering is happening.
Day 25: ...growing...
Day 26: ...growing...
Day 27: ...growing...
Day 28: ...growing...
Weekly Review: After recovering from any FIM stunt or pH errors, the plant seems to be moving along well. It's about 3 inches tall as flowering has started, so I really have no clue how big she might get. Despite me doing my best to kill her, she's still plugging along.
Short Term Plans: 56 days is the approximate time this plant matures in. If that's the case I'm approaching two more weeks of flowering nutes before the planned one week of ripe and one week flush. I will try to keep this plant and the Blueberry #1 on the same NUTE schedule as long possible, despite a two week difference in estimated time of finish.

Week 5
Day 29: The top growth leaves are looking very scrawny.
Day 30: Changed to Nute Recipe Flower2.
Day 31: LST top growth.
Day 32: While LSTing, I snapped the the main stem about 1/2 up the stem. I used some duct tape to put it back together. Defoliated a bit afterwards as well. We shall see.....
Day 33 (4/6/30): Looks okay after yesterday's damage.
Day 34:
Day 35:
Weekly Summary: What else could I do to this plant? How about snap the stem!?!

I abused this plant and it still produced. This rating is currently only based on growing and smell: I haven't had a chance to smoke yet!!
What I will say is that I will be growing this strain again, but probably not the next cycle since I have 12 new strains to pick from. However, I could very easily see myself doing an entire Sweet Seeds grow cycle: the buds look great and the speed is freaking amazing.
Day 65 was the harvest of the remainder of the plant. The first part of my harvest is already curing and I will post some more details after I catch up a bit!
My pallet is not extensive, and it's hard for me to describe many tastes/smells. Initially, the drying and cured buds (as well as the plant in the late stages) just smelled "sweet." I'll try to describe the taste and smell better at a later point.
