This is where it all began. I got 3 cherry bomb seeds from MSG. Happy that I could meet him and not pay shipping. So I paid $25. That's $8.33 a seed. I wanted photo and he gave me auto. They didn't grow. I got mad. Fortunately I got 2 free seeds with the order. This is the story of the first seed. Here are some setup pictures as well. I wanted to get a grow light and my wife wouldn't let me spend $20 on it. Luckily through next door and neighbor social media I got free lights. These are pictured. Unfortunately I had no way to hang them. I used a desk. The blurple I felt comfortable hanging. I also tried my hand at vegetables as it was almost March. I bought these seeds for $5 a piece, on Valentine's Day I was ready to rock. That night I started with a paper towel and then about 12 hours later switched to soaking in distilled water. Then about 6 hours later put her back on the paper towel. Another 9 hours later nothing. The next morning at 6:42 am I woke up early to plant my first seed. By 7:20 PM the next day she poked out of the soil. We're talking 36 hours of time to go from a 3mm tap root to a noodle that you see here. I was teased mercilessly on the grow group. It was a social media grow group specifically for customers of this breeder. After 23 posts I finally got my revenge on them. My plan to take the plant outside on March 13 for a few hours of sunlight and the inevitable backlash set me over the edge. They told me to raise the soil. The breeder told me to use distilled water, I used melted snow. He told me to use a forever pot, I used a 4 x 4. I told him I plan to use lots of Miracle-Grow he said no. He tried to sell me a light, I said I'm happy with what I got. I got 176W. They told me to add perlite to my soil. They told me to transplant. They told me no Miracle-Grow perlite even though it costs way less.

I dug up the dirt without transplanting and added in perlite. I also added in compost along with that. Not sure when I found my timer light. So for a while I was manually turning the lights off at around 10 pm and on at around 8 am.

Those big floppy leaves are because the light is on the side.

Crazy I put that silver tape on there because she grew towards the light so I thought I could make a bonsai twisting plant I was too stoned to figure out which way to twist her.

Now 5 teaspoons of water? Raised the height after burning plants at 4 inches. Figured out how to mount the lights. I thought they were still too close. Last pictures before transplanting to the 1 gallon pot. Then raised them up next week to 36 inches. Last week before pre-flower.

I'm not really able to rate weed. This was supposed to be a sativa. I was able to smoke it for 5 days, about 1/4 gram. This will be my only harvest recorded in my grows. I don't like the feature. I dray 2-10 days and cures 2-10 days.
