Really impressed with this week's progress, so far worm castings are definitely giving fast development.

Good development among others, but seems to really enjoy the grow light, compared to its parent strains, this is also indoor genetics so expected something like this. But compared to others most impressed. Comment please would like to here what you say!

Well it starting to give off a very leafy smell off the stem, seems different from other strains with their Cheesy, or herby smells. Very good development, LED is keeping it green and bright, I presume its predominantly Indica (Thought it was a Sativa), growing side by side with the Sativas, just hope if I grow right with LST I don't think it should be an issue, but with Indicas that Veg thicker leaves and shorter, might need light support when it flowers, any help?

More development, got the nodes to face up. No topping yet, will see where that goes, if it gets too hectic will top it. Root development is crazy good. But starting to smell like the rest just a little minty.

LST is helping nodes stretch out upwards, had signs of deficiency/nute burn. So gave it a flush to get a fresh start again for the plant before anything gets worse. But will see where it goes as the nodes are growing faster now that they are more exposed to the light. Will be adding Cal Mag after a few days. And waiting for an MH Bulb.

Broke off a branch by mistake on the first node while LST-ing, so there's a clone in the room as well. Seems to be developing at a rapid rate. Got no deficiencies. Just keeps growing. Very happy with results.
