Alright so right around day 63. Finally starting to add some weight/mass and some frost is coming in. I had to resort to some 'drastic measures'.

This gal was growing rather slowly with the LED running at only 10% for almost two weeks due the height constraints, I decided it was more economical to cut the top open and be able to run the light at full power. I should be able to repair the tent if not it was only like $100 ish so unfortunate but not the end of the world. Now I know these things can look like runts that wont amount to anything then explode and become monsters. I'll be ordering some 2x2 scrog screens and implementing some training/manipulation in addition to defoliation.

There are some leaf abnormalities, some burns (at least purpling) from proximity to the LED, at least I suspect as is only affecting the upper and center-most growth, and some yellowing near the top of boundary of defoliation, hopefully just from senescence though there's at least 2-3 weeks though it's hard to gauge these autos.

Beautiful plant keep it up

Day 70 from breaking ground. In the first image you can see the overall stature and the recent defoliation I've done. Second picture is some lower branches main cola.

I think she's getting pretty close now, so that's nice little Christmas present to myself. For the most part she just grew by herself (and out of the confines of the tent too I might add!). Learned a bit about autoflowers and no till growing along the way and I am pretty excited to see how she smokes. I have a small sample drying at the moment and it just smells grassy, but the humidity is like 25% and certainly not ideal.

Quick bonus, Mephisto Creme De La Chem direct sowed into the same pot about a week ago, just now breaking ground. She's one of two so perhaps the other will sprout any day now. In a fit of impatience I decided to get another going using my traditional method of soak for 24 hours and into paper towels if still not cracked and she's barely cracked but no root exposed.

Alright so she came down today. She went to day 75, though harvest was on day 76 at first light. First picture is the main top/cola and the second picture is just miscellaneous buds that are too cumbersome to hang individually. She was yellowing rapidly at first I figured senescence but in the last couple of days I noticed a ton of gnats so perhaps the little bastards were contributing as well. I definitely encountered a few hiccups but that should just pave the way for a better harvest next time.

Nice job I will be chopping tomorrow @ day 90

Thanks brother. I'll be watching for final tallies.
