Accidental leaf burn from careless low humidity/light intensity when relocating space bucket to new area in house. Primarily on lower leaves and on one side of the plant. Changed to lower wattage lights this week as previous lights were suspected to be too powerful for application. FIM on 2.16 at 6th node. Dark foliage w clawing still. N tox? P def? High light intensity? .75gal big bloom soln 2.17 Very thick central stem with very little inter-nodal spacing.

Really exploding with growth now. Defoliated some lower sections and made some adjustments to the LST to establish an even canopy. Smelling stronger now, very pleasant.

Height is topping out. Defoliated lots of lower foliage that was totally shaded from light. Budding sites are getting much more prominent. Starting week 7 with Fox Farm Tiger Bloom. Some etiolated stems happening; bumping up light wattage to 115W LED.

Switched to flowering nutes this week, starting to get lots of white pistils. Also beginning to smell more, very pleasant. Not a whole lot more to add, waiting for the buds to bulk up more.

No time to take good photos this week sorry :( I only found this one photo. Main development is that there's a lot more trichomes visible.

Buds are getting much fatter, and the pistils are beginning to turn brown. Still see a few clear trichomes, but overall they get cloudier by the day. Smell is wonderful, smells skunky from a distance, but fruity with floral overtones up close (think lilac/lavender). Whole plant is very sticky to the touch. Progress seems a bit slow for an auto, but as it's my first grow I'm sure that I had something to to with that haha.

Lots of brown pistils now, but still no amber trichomes. The smell is just intoxicating at this point. Trichome density is ramping up as well.
