Germinated on cotton pads in 3 days, then planted into a 0.5 litre geotextile bag of buffered 2/1 coco/perlite mix, placed in a simple unheated propagator. They're getting sunlight too on my balcony for about 4 hours a day.
Upped the nutes a little, keeping her in the same small bag. They're getting sunlight on my balcony from around 2pm to 8pm. Transplanted her into a 2.5l fabric pot on day 11.
In the 2.5 litre fabric pot. Tried to do some light LST on the main stem but it's hard like steel so I guess it's a bit late for that. Hoping those little side colas will get enough light in the following days. Still hand watering her twice a day while putting the automatic fertigation system together for the final container.
Transplanted her to a 12 litre (final) grow bag on day 21.
In her final pot now, still hand watering het twice a day until the automatic system is put together. Started a light LST on the side colas. Lighting is a mixture of old fluorescent tubes and LED COB -3500K and blurple. Easing the feed TDS a little, available water is too hard.
White pistils all over the preflowers, this baby is right on schedule! Smooth ride so far. I let go some of the LST on the higher colas, let them go where they want for the time being. She's under the 150W led cob setup now, and still getting 4-6hrs sunlight on my balcony as the smell is still not too strong. I cut off 2 pairs of fan leaves as they were massive and blocking a lot of light from the lower colas.
UPDATE
Couple of minutes after my entry here the mirror that was propped up on my balcony to reflect sunlight to my stealth zone suddenly and inexplicably fell right on the fucking plant, breaking her stem clean off at the base :((((
I'm completely gutted that my first ever grow ended this way. I think it was looking really good though, I'm staring a new one. Set back by four weeks goddamn...:(
