Grow #3 - FastBuds; Amnesia Haze Auto

CannabisConnoisseur Meant to start this grow at the same time as my Demonic Amensia for a side by side, but my FastBuds bean didn't pop as planned, so this gal is a week behind. She popped out kind of white from seed, and for some reason she stretched like crazy after I moved her from the Jiffy starter into her pot. Maybe I brought the light on too soon ? I must have put her under there on day 3 after transplanting. I figured the light would stop her from stretching, but maybe I've got that mixed up. Clover is coming in nicely in the pot, had to add a few more seeds and have been trying to keep the top more moist so the fuckers can actually sprout. I think my last application of clover failed because my soil is (too?) well draining. Anyway, been watching the topsoil and adding a really light spray of water when I see it dry out - just until the clover gets started. Hoping once it's nice and mulched, I'll be able to water a little less frequently - I believe my dry ass closet is the reason for the rather dry topsoil.

CannabisConnoisseur Topped her on Day 17, pics are from Day 19. She was tall and lanky as a seedling, but seems a good height now. Her growth was not as vigorous as my Demonic Genetics Amnesia Haze from my other diary, and she's been generally a bit slower/less bushy looking. Unfortunately, this one also got infected with soil gnats, and again, switched to bottom feeding water to treat it. Other than that, she seems healthy enough!

CannabisConnoisseur Messed up my calendar and posted this to the wrong week originally - oops!!! I beat the soil gnats! There's a couple still flying around, but definitely under control now, after I started bottom-feed watering. I'm doing water-only with living soil, so haven't added any nutes or anything to the pots (I think I discussed the soil setup in my earlier weeks' posts). Anyways, no deficiencies or signs of trouble so far. Trying the @Dreamatoes method of topping aggressively and training her down, but since she started to show sex so quickly, I've decided I won't top her any further. She does seem quite small compared to the Demonic Amnesia Haze that's one week ahead - could be due to genetics, but we'll see. All in all, she's nice and symmetrical, and growing just fine so far!

CannabisConnoisseur I thought I had stunted her, or forced her into flower early by topping to early maybe? It seems like she's recovered (if she was stunted) and is doing just fine now. Pretty significant growth between day 33 and 35 when the photos were taken. I'm still taking off a couple of leaves every other day or so, even though she started flowering, think this is okay? They're fan leaves that would otherwise be blocking lower bud sites. Will make a question for this too.
