First week was quite usual. Seedling sprouted rather fast and healthy :) Seemed quite thin and leggy in first days so I moved her closer to light. Also made a DIY greenhouse to rise humidity.

In the middle of this week I opened my grow box to see that she was almost dead because I was late to water her ! :/ Leaves were crawling and a couple of them never recovered... However she thrived again once I watered her and everything seems going alright, except from some crunchy brown spots :P Topped her for the first time and new branches popped up healthy and strong :)

I am so excited this week as I moved her to my new upgraded DIY carton box !!! :D This time I used aluminum foil for the walls and I am expecting higher yield than my previous grow. I can't believe leaves are sooo big for this size of the plant :P I guess is because of RQS' genetics. Neverthless, she seems to grow very healthy and happy :)

This week the new main colas grow steady and strong :) However, the older fan leaves seem a bit weird :/ Maybe is because of harsh winter conditions or a watering problem.. I am not really sure... I hope she's doing OK cause I am about to change to 12-12 cycle

This week I felt a bit daring and tried some harder LST to make some room in my canopy. Maybe I overdone it a little bit but she seems to recover very quickly despite the harsh night conditions. Also did some defoliation of old leaves and seems very happy now ! Last I changed to 12-12 cycle. Wish me luck ! :)

Last week I mentioned I tied branches quite hard in order to stretch my canopy. Well... I managed to break one of main colas.. What a shame ! However it seemed to recover as it was attached only by a small portion.. Hope she continues to grow fine. Apart from that, pistils already showed up :) I intend to defoliate some old leaves as it gets quite messy there.

Apparently my little sensi totally recovered from that broken stem... Pistils now seem more clear and she is getting in real shape :) I still have to defoliate these ugly older leaves !

Buds started to form day by day !! Defoliated old leaves and now shes look really beatiful ! I think shes going a bit slowly though.. I guess its because of the sativa genetics. In any case I am so glad she's healthy :)

Once again I am really satisfied with RQS seeds ! Always providing the best results with no problems. Regarding this grow my outcome was 25g dry buds for this micro grow :) I totally recommend this strain to anyone who wants something fruity flavoured and more of sativa effect !! Bless you all and enjoy your puffs <3

@YuriBoyka, Thank you my brotha ! I hope the best of luck to your grow too :) This is my second grow with this kind of DIY setup. Specifically this is the upgraded version. Comparing to my previous grow and with all the experience I got, I expect about 25g dry bud. This is a micro grow, only 3L pot :)

Mine looks different, I also bought a Shogun from RQS, and I've topped it when it was little, she's barely a month old now but our leaves looking different?

Your leafs were HUGE compared to mine, I'm using a UV vivosun light & combination with a LED lumigrow pro 650
