Planted these girls on 12/29 in jiffy pellets. 1 sprouted on day 7, the other is just starting to sprout now. My growspace is very short (36 inches) so height is definitely going to be the limiting factor. I'm trying to figure out what the optimal number of plants/pot size will be for my grow space for future grows so I'm testing a 1 gallon fabric pot and a 5 gallon fabric pot that I'm only putting ~2.5 gal of coco mix in. Plant #1 (named Miss Greenbaum) will be in the bigger pot. Plant #2 (named Chelsea) will be in a 1 gal pot but is still just sitting in the jiffy pellet for now.

Turned on my second lamp. 140W array is above her, and then there's a 135W UFO light at a 30 degree angle pointed at her as well. I have to turn off the UFO light for ~8 hours/day because the setup is in my bedroom and its fan sounds like a bloody jet engine.

She's super dense, when I'm in there trying to LST it feels like I'm picking through a salad. I switched her from 24h light to 20/4. She's only had 2 nights of this but she's definitely stretching a lot more which is making the internode spacing larger and LST easier. Some of her biggest/oldest leaves started yellowing at the tips -- pretty sure it's nitrogen deficiency so I upped the level of N and raised pH to 6.3 for the last watering and this seems to be helping.

They're on 21-3 now. I know this is weird. But it seems to be working. Added another 28W LED bulb so I'm now up to ~75W/sq. ft.

Noticed a bit of nute burn so I'm giving her really light nutrients for a few days. Heavy LST early on is really starting to pay off!

Did a flush with water to get rid of the lingering nutrients. She lost most of her fan leaves! Now just giving her very light Overdrive. Looks like she's going to be ready to harvest next week!

This girl didn't yield a whole lot but that's not a surprise because seed bank said 1-2 oz for this strain. About 45 grams -- happy with this considering my grow space is only 2.5 ft high. I encountered very few problems during my first grow. Smoke report: I live in Colorado so I assumed the bud I was getting at the dispensary was already high quality. It turns out I was wrong. I did a side by side comparison with a few indicas that I had laying around -- this was way smoother and better tasting than some stuff I paid like $50 per eighth for. (This may be in part because I did an aggressive flush, barely giving any nutes in the last 2 weeks.) The smell/flavor is very flowery and smooth. My friend described it as "a lot of lavender with a hint of vanilla." High is relaxing but doesn't make me feel sleepy. It has almost no psychoactive effects but helps a lot with my chronic pain (smoked almost a gram and my friends couldn't really tell I was high.) The first night I smoked it I even got a body high as I was laying in bed. Super cool. Verdict: Very satisfied with my first grow using seeds I got for free. Going to try some more expensive genetics now that I've got the growing process figured out. Probably not a strain that any professional growers are going to try, but if you want an easy-to-grow dwarf plant and just need a little bud for pain management I recommend it. I have no problem staying awake and energetic. It's a great strain to smoke while working at my computer. It's very different from most of the popular strains I've had in the U.S. which makes it fun to share with friends.

@BigDaddyK, Yep! did one full flush and harvested the day after this. Lower buds took a few more days to ripen.
