I'd just like to add this is purely for my own personal use and interest in watching my plant develop. On a low-cost budget, lights are small LED's Only 45W I have a Carbon filter for later but have not started this yet. Small Grow tent. Germinated seeds in a moist paper towel in a sandwich bag and placed under the LED Lights. Waited for it to get a good tap root then planted. Once planted it took another 2 days to pop up. So first week in going good so far.

So I have mixed up a couple liters of water with some nutes which will be used for a couple weeks. Only adding small amounts, around a cup at a time, 250Ml. It's been very hot and I have struggled to keep the temps down and humidity is higher for this reason. Which I later start to have issues with. Growth is good not much to report but she has started and all I have to do is play the waiting game.

Nutes are the same only watering when needed by putting a finger in the coco and seeing how the conditions are. The plant is moving along nicely and I have been opening the tent when I can to combat the heat wave and try cool down when I can. Noted some mold from high humidity which I have now removed all other containers with water in them to resolve this issue. Decided to Top at the end of the week. some people might agree with this others may not but this is the path I have chosen. Cut once four nodes had come through.

The plant is going well, she's slowed down after the top but has made a good recovery, I think this was mostly from heat and humidity. Its been high 30's and 40 in temp outdoors so temp is going well. I have turned on the carbon filter to help with this. Watering is the same as last week. Only this time heavy on the growth. watering 250ml when needed. Overall new growth and things are looking good. Noted small possible nute burn or deficiency of some sort which I'll need to keep an eye on. Overall first time grow and things are coming along well.

A few things going on this week. So new water mix, heavy on the bloom mix as flowering will come around very soon (Or so I was hoping at the start of the week) Made up a couple liters of this which were used at the start of the week. Moved into a larger pot as well I think it was a 13lt. coco and perlite mix. The plant has taken off from the start of the week to the end and she's starting to flower. I have also started the low-stress training in hopes to encourage new growth and nodes. Still noted some issues with lower leaves, suspect that it was to do with the way I decided to mix my nutes which I now need to figure out before its too late. Any advice or ideas on what it is would be appreciated. (More Cal Mag ?)

So growing is going well and there have been some pretty big changes going on this week. I've been doing some research on coco and watering technics and have changed the way I was watering and feeding. Watering at least once a day until there is water waste at the bottom draining out, this method helps with keeping the plant up with fresh clean water and nutrients and as since coco and perlite are 25 - 35% air there is no risk of getting root rot from my root drowning. The issues with the browning on the leaves has been resolved using this method, I believe this issue to be related to magnesium problem and there appear to be no sign new deficiencies showing. I have gone through roughly 4-5 liters of water since starting this method and the results are speaking for themselves. I have done some more low-stress training to height on the plant and to clear up some more light for low-level flowers forming. I don't expect a large harvest since the light I am using is only a 45W but I plan on upgrading to a 450w for my next plant. Overall the plant seems to be thriving and I excited to see the end results as I'm sure those you watching are as well.

Not much to add just keeping up with the watering and feeding and pulling off some of the bottom leafs. some more low stress training. overall still looks to be growing well

This thing is sucking up the water and nutes atm loves a good feed, feels like she has been waiting got this moment to start blowing out those flowers. Good growth this last week and a bit. slightly late on the update overall I have just been repeating my watering and slightly increase the nutrients Starting from today I am flushing with water got maybe about 1 to two weeks left max. lots of little popcorn buds due to the shitty light but there are some really good ones formed I'M EXCITED

First of all, I'm a bit late on the update and will take some better quality photos before harvest I have been flushing and progress on the plant seems to be somewhat unnoticeable, seems slightly fatter but very dense and sticky. The Smell is a very strong citrus smell and it just stinks out the room (in a good way) I am still waiting on my magnifying glass to check over Tricombs but from what I can see under a small 20x increase all a clear moving to cloudy.

More Flushing this week has been done every day around 1.5ltr. Tricombs look good and ready I wanted to have a decent amount of amber for pain relaxing. about a 40% ratio and 60% cloudy I've used another camera and have taken some better photo's as the one I was using was the only decent one I had. I'm going to cut and hang and allow to dry. Very exciting times as the smell is amazing I'll complete the rest of the diary once it's harvested and test :D

I'd just like to add that being my first time growing this strain has been perfect. Had a couple hiccups but was able to get on top of it fast. Sometime in the future, I'll be starting the FastBuds Green crack with a bigger light and area with some luck. Probs using different methods such as growing in a large pot to start and not topping, after reading I seen this might not be the best for Auto's and puts added stress onto the plant which already had a short life span
