Germination of the second strain in my life goes without any difficulties. Putting a seed on a wet paper towel, then a white arm starts to grow in less than two days. The temperature is kept between 20 to 25 degrees to deceive her as in summer. Fresh water is poured on her body lying on the soil bed. Since the soil is full of nutrition she would not need any fertilizer for several weeks.
"Thus the world is a bit more advanced than him; he wonder to be a witness of the world that is not inspired yet."

A small green stem emerges from the soil bed. She has two round leaves and two jagged leaves, with their length about three centimeters. The thickness of her stem looks smaller than five millimeters.
Now she would not need any fertilizer for weeks. The tent temperature is kept greater than 20 degrees for she would feel comfortable. Watering is performed once every 48 hours.

Like cannabis plants, she has four jagged leaves, whose length would be about five centimeters. Her leaves look green and healthy. Her stem does not look thicker than that of the last week. No fertilizer is employed. The tent temperature is kept 20 degrees. Watering is performed once every 48 hours.
I plan to feed some fertilizer next week. In the last grow fertilizers does not seem effective for it is too dense, so I try to keep the amount much smaller. I think of Dutch Formula series, but your suggestion for another option will be appreciated.
These days I enjoy eating edibles. They are really tasty with a cannabis-infused cooking oil. They make my body and heart warmer even in a cold day. Cooking with the oil is a greatest entertainment in my life under the lockdown since it makes me feel like feeding my mind and curing depression.

Much more leaves appear on her body compared to the last week. All the leaves look green, healthy, and much larger. My only concern is that her stem does not get any thicker or longer these days. I try to feed some nutrients with their density far smaller than what is written on the instruction paper.
Now I attach a small camera on my pot and record her growth. Her leaves look full of energy from morning to evening, whereas they look losing strength at night. It could be nature, according to my cannabis-grower friend, so I try to prevent from interfering too much. It would be problematic, however, if it has a correlation with her thin and short stem. I would like your comment on this. Your support will enlighten me, as the LED does onto the plant.
"Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!"

I append an mp4 video to the diary. 2021-02-02.
I find a number of new leaves develop. They all look healthy. However, her old leaves look light-green, which might result from nutrition deficiency or excess. As shown in the video, her leaves look stretched in the morning and withered in the evening.
Her stems look a little bit thicker. Some part of them look turning red. I do not figure out why they are. The height of her body does not seem to change drastically through the week.
I am afraid of her growth losing energy. I would like your suggestion to think on it, for we cannot grow without thinking.

It is my concern that her leaves turning pale and her stem not growing properly. Her top leaves look healthy but a little bit yellower. I try feeding more nutrients as well as flushing, yet the situation does not change.
I try to transplant her into a larger pot. During the migration procedure I find her roots spanning beyond the pot. She needs a larger room for further growth of her roots. Her body is now planted in a 11.4-litre pot.
Today I find she has much more leaves than that of the last week. Since the pot is filled with compost, no nutrient is poured on her for now.
"The roots below the earth claim no rewards for making the branches fruitful."

She grows faster than ever, with an astonishing speed of 1 cm per day. Her leaves look green and healthy. Her stems look thicker, without turning red. Now she looks escaping her tough situation and regaining energy.
In the next week the light schedule will be shortened to 12 hours in order to make her flower. In addition some nutrients will be added. I look forward to see her glamorous flowers.

I find her astonishing growth. Her leaves are about 15-centimetre wide and glitter in light-green. Her thickest stem looks 20-millimetre thick in diameter.
From this week, the light schedule is reduced to 12 hours so that she begins to bloom. In addition, some nutrients are appended.
"Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure."

Even in the flowering period, she keeps on growing as seen in the video. So many leaves are found on her. The leaves are much larger than those in the last week. The largest leaf should be about 20x20 squared centimetres in area. The color of the leaves looks green and healthy.
I find some flowers appearing in between her stems. The smell seems much stronger than ever. To help her flowering, the Dutch Formula nutrients are appended to water. Nitrogenous fertilizer is excluded from my recipe to avoid nitrogen lockout.
"The flowers have been woven and the garland is ready for the bridegroom."

She surprises me every time I look at her astonishing growth. Her largest stem is thicker and longer than that of the last week. Although the size of her leaves are almost the same as the last week, her flowers are apparently larger and more glamorous. Her roots are appearing on the soil bed, showing her surprising growth under the ground. She looks healthy as a whole.
Now I feed her as much nutrients as possible. To avoid nitrogen lockout, only phosphorus and micro elements are fed. Flushing chemicals will be started in two or three weeks.
"Plants and Animals require phosphorus for their survival."

These days I smoke joints to make me energetic. Every time I lose enthusiasm for everything the cannabis gives me wings. Once I take a hit my brain gets powered, making me feel like enjoying my life and working harder. I usually take approximately 1 or 2 grams per week.
I would have a sufficient amount of cannabis in the next month so I would like to withdraw growing after the completion of this growth. This diary will continue for weeks though.

She produce a lot of ivory trichomes, which are apparent signs for harvest. The harvest is a little bit more difficult than in the last grow, for she has more flowers. I have to be patient while trimming. Now buds are in the drying tent.
