I consider week 1 to include germination. So its Wednesday April 22 and the "Early Miss" Auto flower feminised seed is soaking in a glass of distilled tap water in the dark @ 65 degrees Fahrenheit After 18 hour soak seed placed on neutral makeup removal pad and moistened with soak water between 2 plates in the room it will be growing. seed placed in Promix HP potting cup tap root down and just below surface then misted with soak water and placed 4 inches under T5 starter light. waiting for sprout to break out got the tap on Sunday after 1 day soak and 2 days in plate pad. placed sprout under t5 about 4 inches away on 18/6 light @ 79-82 degrees day and 74-79 degrees at night only misting soil with 6.3 ph week 1

Week 2 was uneventful plant went to 2 inch and 1 node and another set of leaves. there was 1 hot day where the plant reached around 90 for a few hours when I caught it and made adjustments. spray misting the plant and soaking it on the surface in its potting cup I s the extent of its nutrients thus far 6.3-6.6 ph. water only had it to within 4 inches of t5 bulb for various lengths of time and kept the leaves misted and environment as humid as possible also stretches of a light breeze on stem making it twitch a bit in the breeze to work the stem week 2 was on 18/ 6 light

This week was mega growth in height and preflowers forming. Switched to Bloom nutrients and stopped the Promix root booster. outside temps swinging all over the place the tent is upstairs in a 70 year old home so it gets really ho or really cold up there at times I compensate with a window Ac unit plus central air and a humidifier (usually In winter) and a ceramic oscillating heater fan in the winter So I try to keep the tent between 70- 85 and humidity around 45 % during some rearranging I snapped a lower branch and tried to clone it into a peat puck under my t5 with water and rooting hormone (REMO brand) but didn't take. a little defoliation at the bottom. to top or not to top since it shot up so much I will probably need to top for space and stretch in flower anticipation. that's ok. the plant grew 13 inches !!

This week she shot up to 37 inches tall and started budding stalk is 9.5 mm (3/ 8) thick. watering volume has gone to 1 liter per day little smell and I take her outside now that its sunny and warm for multi hour sessions so the light / tent component of my grow is inconsistent the value you will receive from this grow is observation of nutes and temps and strain and seeds. my first autoflower so cool having buds in 40 days ! I have decided to not do any lst or topping on this basketball player just letting her grow natural and observing

Another hot sticky sunny week i brought them out for about 6 hrs each day water consumption is 2l per day and topical water misting often the buds trichomes are all cloudy now but not a significant % of amber to pull the last three watering's are flush plus a huge rain soaking at one point the buds are getting nuggety now and I'm surprised and happy to see the little sub acorn nugs popping out of the overall buds

Looks like your getting some steady, healthy growth. I'm also growing the same strain in the same sized pot and same soil (my second time with the soil, strain, and growing). I got so much out of the soil that I misjudged its nutrient needs, and skimped thinking it would really finish in about 7 weeks. It took closer to 13 weeks, the first time. I'm on day 6 with it this time, grow number 2 but with proper nutes this time, and like both of my Early Misses,yours is a dwarf too. This time I even tried forcing it to stretch by delaying bringing the light down, but instead it simply grew a bit lanky to 2" then stalled around day 4 and began to droop on day 5. At that point I lowered the light. Its indica and ruderallis genes seem to win out, Last grow I LST'd it in week 3 and it responded really well to LST. That may be the only training technique I use this grow. Its a very forgiving strain, to a point, and the only real disasters I've seen were where things like Miracle-gro or excessive feeding were done and the plant stunted from it, But if you keep to half strength nutes, keep the light and humidity in check and where they need to be, it will reward you at the end, From a 150W UFO LED (63W from the wall) I got about 30 grams in 2 gallons of the same soil, with almost no nutes. Both the strain and soil are very capable, though you timed the first feeding well.

Looks good for week 4. The temp looks a bit high at 28C in the day, though its more forgiving of this in veg than it will be flower and some of the rooting stuff and nutes you are giving it may be providing the plant with things that help resist higher temps too. Though I would be on the lookout for heat stress as you are pushing the envelope, from my experience with it so far. I'd also start dialing the humidity back, if that 66% reading is accurate. You're about to start flowering, if you're not already seeing pre-flowers now, and for early flower/late veg I don't think more than 50% humidity is desirable. You have to start high, because the plant initially uses the leaves to "breathe" water as the roots are not established; but once you're into true veg, they are and in true veg the humidity can begin coming down under 60%, about 5% a week. In week 4, you'd therefore want only about 50% humidity as the plant now needs to 'sweat' through the leaves (especially if combined with high heat which means its drawing in more water and nutes too) and at 66% in week 4, humidity is so high it interferes with that process. Its looking good so far though.

@Inventioneer, looks good so far.

@Spyder7, thank you , the humidity went up about 12 % when I took it outside for the pic and so did temps in the sun on that gauge
