Already the first veg week. She is going along well, however she has a cotyledon that is stuck in the vertical position, hopefully that will not do anything bad. Day 13 update, she going along smoothly so far, some nice growth in the last few days.

Day 47, first true flowers, it hasn't grown much in the last week, I'm eager to see what the flower stretch will bring. Day 48, light defoliation for light penetration and airflow. Day 51, looks like the stretch is beginning.

Day 55, growing nicely, a bit slow to develop new flowers, it might take a while to get to harvest. Day 58, she is VERY bushy with a height of 15 inches and 25 inches wide. Day 59, to defoliate or not to defoliate an auto?

Wondering if I should defoliate? Seems to be contradicting opinions on defoliating autos, would like to have some feedback as this one has a LOT of leaves. Thanks!

Leaves. Too many

Less leaves = less energy produced = slower/smaller growth.

She is sure taking her time during flower.... One of the healthiest plant I've grown and very bushy, but also one of the slowest to flower. Day 62, added a side view of the canopy Day 63, a day after defoliating.

Day 68, she still look like she is only beginning to flower, I added another SF1000 light, hopefully it will help. Day 71, a side is more yellow, upping the nutrients.

Some colas are starting to get frosty! Some weird new growth are popping up, wandering what to do with that. Day 81, she seems to be fattening up nicely!

Some weird new growth more yellow than the rest of the plant and seems to be late in flowering. What do I do with that, remove them?

While Nitrogen (N) toxicity may produce darker foliage and brittle stems the top foliage remains dark green as well due to increased chlorophyll production it is not your plant's case! I actually believe that this is a Phosphorous (P) Toxicity - New growth develop thin and distorted blades, small internodal spacing, leaf tip chlorosis, and several micro-nutrient deficiencies (Zinc, Iron, Calcium, and Magnesium) that causes the discoloration on the top of the plant. Try reducing the total fertilizer dosage to about 3-3.5ml/l of the "Grow" and "Micro", 2.5-3ml/l of the "Bloom" fertilizer (increase to 3-3.5ml/l when healed), and as for the "Big Bud" you can leave at current dosage or to be sure you can even reduce it to about 1.75ml/l Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Colas are finally starting to fatten up! Smell is still at a minimum. I dialed back the nutes a bit since I had weird growths. Day 85, light defoliation

Light defoliating this week. She is getting fatter and fatter. I put nutes in every waterings, every two days and I think she likes it. Almost no smell whatsoever, only if I rub the thricomes, I get a sweet fruity smell.

It was a fun grow, there was a lot more buds and bigger than I expected underneath all those leaves. Updated, got 170.6 grams dry, now we wait 2 weeks cure before testing A lot of friendly folks helped me on GD and I appreciate it! March 2 update, after a 1 and a half week of cure, I tried it and here how I would describe the effects: Very good body effects but keeps the mind clear, perfect for gaming or watching TV. Has an overall feel good effect!
