It's currently in Veg stage. The seed sprouted and was planted on: 20th September
Indoor or outdoor?

Soil or Hydro?
Coco-coir so behaves like hydro
Type of light?

Temp of Room/cab?
Between 23-28 C
RH of Room/cab?
Between 45%-65%
How often are you watering?

Issues to date:

---

I need some help regarding an issue I have with the plant which I have not been able to diagnose properly:
Those are the 2 leaves of the Bottom(first true) set of leaves my plant had. It seems to me that it might be nute burn.

You have bellow some of the pictures of its grow until now

Hello there, Personalplusg, and thank you! I'll update the journal every 2-3 days, and I'll answer to any questions or advice anyone has for me. I'll also post soon enough the concentration of the nutrients I'm using. Meanwhile, I seem to have a little problem, I'l post it in the journal.

Welcome to !

You are off to a great start! To me it looks like she could use a little bit more nitrogen. Not sure if you knew this, but in a soil less mix like you have, you need to start giving nutes right away...just like in hydro or DWC. Where she is now, she looks happy. I like to prune the first set of leaves once you go to do the topping (4 or 5 sets of leaves). Do you plan on topping? LST? How much dry weight are you hoping to get?

Keep up the good work bud.

I also thought about that, but since it just appeared 2 days ago, I wasn't sure. I have been giving nutes to it right away because I know it doesn't have any in the soil, but apparently not enough. Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, I plan on topping twice , to get 4 colas, and maybe a little bit of LST. I'm hoping to get close to an ounce or over. If I get over 20 grams I will be happy enough

Well if you run 18/6 for 6 weeks and top twice...you'll be well over 2 ounces. We veg for 8 or 9 weeks and pull a steady 4+ on a photo. On autos it's right in between 2 and 3 ounces. Which they only "veg" for 4 weeks or so. So I think your goal is quite practical.

So is this your first grow ever or is this just your first journal?

It's actually my first grow of any kind, not only journal. I have never grown anything in my life, I just wasn't into it. But this gave me the motivation

I have another question though: I wanted to keep the journal updated in the first post, but it appears that I cannot edit it anymore after some time. I there anyway to bypass that?

DAY 20 - just topped a few hours ago.
The 6th set of leaves, (including the first set of true leaves which I removed) was topped.

Hope all is well in your world.

Is this grow still alive?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

If you need any help with posting photos, please read our Photo Gallery Tutorial.

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.
