At 1 week old everything is going well. Had no issues with the sprout and it is looking healthy. I am giving it a light watering (.25 -.5L) every other day and still have it under the small shop light. I will be changing the light out to a single 135W led dimmed to 50% power later this week for begining vegetation growth. Also, I have it in Happy Frog potting soil which has plenty of nutrients for a while.

Things are looking good! Week 1 through week 2, I had my QB Led turned to 65W @ 30". I have been watering with 200ml of 6.5ph tap water every other day. I will be dropping my light and turning my Led wattage up over the next couple of weeks as she grows. Stay tuned!

Started LST and things are looking good so far. Led is at 100W @ 24". Watering every few days with 500ml. No nutes yet, just topped off with some fresh Happy Frog. When the growth spurt starts, I will start introducing some light nutes. I did start Recharge and plan on giving some once every couple waterings.

She is looking really healthy! She looks kind of beat up in the pictures because I just did a good LST on her 2 minutes before the pictures. You can see the pistols coming in now, which means she's starting to flower. Getting quite a bit of growth out of her this week. Expecting a lot more growth in the near future. I have my LED at 90 watts at 24 in. She has not been asking for a lot of water. So far, very easy to grow.

Things seem to be going well. This plant does not like being watered too much at all. Very light watering and she is happy. I'll be starting some Mega Crop nutes later this week. She is starting to show signs of some needed nutrients. One weird thing I have noticed is the larger leaves will stand out strong and even point up, but the smallest leaves wilt down a bit. That is kind of new to me. Usually they all act similar.

Things are going well. She looked a little stressed out for a week or so. Seems to be going a little better now and then I started giving her a little nutrients. Went through a stage where she looked like she had excessive nutrients yet did not have any nutrients....

Had some issues with a nutrient deficiency, but I think she is doing better now. Buds are looking good and she has a nice light aroma.

Another week or 2 and she will be coming down. It's about 50 clear/50 cloudy on the trichromes. Excited to try it out!
