First week went smoothly, everything went fine and I can already say she looks better than my previous grows.
2021-01-10: Start of germination in the glass of water, the seed sank down the same night. Start of germination in paper towel.
2021-01-11: Seed germinated and was placed, root pointing down in the potting mix. Started with miracle Gro premade soil to help with the starting nutrients. 20hrs of light starting now and a glass dome was put on top to keep high humidity.

Measurements were took on the 2021-01-17. Small fear of loosing her at the start of the week but she bounced back like a queen. The light is set at 50% to decrease the heat it outputs and I just lowered it closer to the plants so they still get all the light they need, a 1000, of what? Lumen, Lux, foot-candle? I don't know the meter doesn't specify, but a 1000 and she doesn't show any signs of light burn so I'll keep it in that range. We're still feeding with plain tap water for now.
Here's the week in details:
2021-01-17: Cotyledon is darkening at it's edges and growth seems stunted. Looks like the soil I'm using has terrible drainage and the water just passes by the sides of the cup and doesn't get to the middle. I carefully removed the young seedling and mixed the remaining soil inside the cup with water making sure it was all moist but not too much. I'm now waiting for recovery signs.
2021-01-18: She seems to be doing better and I'm glad she survived a transplant so young. New leaves are developing.
2021-01-19: Still alive, good to see.

2021-01-23: Noticeable growth boom between yesterday and today.
Measurements we're took on 2021-01-24. The end of the week was full of stress for the lady. She got topped on the 28th and transplanted the next day. I decided to top an Auto plant just to experiment and see and it goes. Topped early and hoping it doesn't trigger the flowering too soon. We should start LST and low dose nutrients next week. The new soil is the HollandBasics available on amazon and I gotta say that's it's pretty light, packed with perlite and seems to be very good quality in general.

2021-01-28: Topped today, went well.
2021-01-29: We're transplanting today. The root system is just a bit under developed. Staring low dose nutrients next week. The new soil is way lighter and has more perlite than any other soil that I've used before.
First Runoff TDS:2718ppm jeez!
2021-01-30: The lower leaves started to discolor.
Measurements we're took on 2021-01-31. Smooth week that ended with the LST set-up being completed. All the stems are growing horizontal now. I also removed the first primitive leaves at the bottom of the plant but I don't count that as defoliation. I thought I would be giving nutrients this week but I'm considering going full organic with no nutrients for this grow. I bought premium soil already packed with the nutrients needed and I don't want to ruin that organic aspect by adding non-necessary chemicals. It will be the occasion to know if organic is as good as it's described.

Measurements we're took on the 2021-02-07. First flowering week for the lady and it went perfectly fine. Nothing to say about this week. She's so stretched, she probably won't need any defoliation. I'm taking a picture each day to see the bud development.
I just noticed the flowering on 2021-02-10.
No week breakdown because there's nothing to say.

Second week of flowering went smoothly for that warrior. I lollipoped her removing the deep down bud sites but I didn't removed any fan leaves. She's so stretched with so much internodal space that it would be unnecessary. I also re-LST the stems that we're getting too high in order to keep them the same height as the other plants in the tent. I will not feed her any nutrients, I want to keep this organic and see if the nutrients are actually worth the shot.
2021-02-14: I actually defoliated a bit today, just to remove the smaller bud sites draining energy from the bigger ones.
2021-02-15: I decide today to re-LST everything because she got way taller than the other plant I have in the tent right now and I want to keep them at the same height to get maximum light. She's now 29cm prior to 37cm
2021-02-16 through 2021-02-20: Nothing to read.
Seems like I can't really go any further without nutrients, even if the soil was said to last for 9 months. So I gave her a first feeding with the advanced nutrients 3 part base nutrients and some Bud Candy and Big Bud supplements since she's already in flowering stage. I was worried I might have given her too much for a first feeding but she responded well and she looks back on track.

2021-02-21: Colors are fading and bud growth seems to be stunned. I might have to say fuck the organic and give her nutrients.
2021-02-22: Nothing to read.
2021-02-23: I'll give her nutrients tomorrow.
2021-02-24: first feeding, I gave her 8ml of each base compound and 4ml of Big Bud and Bud Candy in 2L of water. I'm worried that I might have given her too much for a first feeding but she has lots of leaves.
2021-02-25: Nothing to read, which is good.
2021-02-26: Colors are still fading a bit. Plain water for today pH 6.4 TDS 80
2021-02-27: It seems like colors stopped fading. There should be another feeding tomorrow.
Bud growth seems very slow. I left way more budsites than I usually do. The smell is getting very intense. The tent is getting really crowded with 3 other plants. I got 2 regular seeds in there that I still can't identify the sex. It's funny but I kind of hope they're both males so I can clear more space. It should also be the last week of using the Big Bud supplement.

This is her last week. The trichomes are 95% cloudy. I'll probably chop her tomorrow on the 14th. I got a drying problem that I need to figure out first. I only have one tent for drying and I still have two other vegetating plants.

2021-03-09: I could finally identify one male plant and removed it from the tent. I checked the trichomes for the first time today and we're actually way closer to harvest than I thought, it might be somewhere in the next week. I also reshaped the LST setup a bit. I decided to stop feeding her, so plain water from now on.

Impressive strain from what I've seen. To be honest, I did have a lot of troubles growing that plant but it was all due to bad decisions of my behalf, nothing to do with the strain itself. The pheno I had got really big in no time and stretched so much that I defoliated a small amount only one time. She grew 4 weeks and flowered for 5 leaving very resinous and smelly buds. No diseases in my case. She tolerated the topping well for an auto. As for the smell, it's been curing for a week and I wouldn't really say it smells like cheese yet, well not one I've tasted for sure, but it definitely has a distinctive sweet smell that you'll sure love, imagine in a month! Taste wise, I can start smoking it and It's already a rather smooth smoke mixing the best of both worlds of sativa and indica. There's definitely things I could have done better but she took all my mistakes like a champ and still gave out some very potent buds. Definitely recommendable.
Quite a sad run to be honest, but it's all due to bad decisions on my side.
I decided to top her and even though she seemed to take it well, it might have triggered something. She also was a stretcher with such a large inter-nodal space that I didn't find necessary to defoliate anything and I didn't remove any budsites. The result was a ton of small popcorn buds. And to not help, I waited way too long before giving her nutes, thinking I could do all the run without using any but even when I started giving her some, the schedule was close to being improvised.
I would normally have given her more time to flower but a space problem in the tent caused me to chop her down prematurely, still with a majority of cloudy trichomes and some amber ones.
I would definitely redo some stuff but she still outputted some very decent flowers, effect and taste wise because let's be real, they look terrible, almost like seaweed.
I'd love to retry this strain.
