Setup and Strain info:
Carmelicious auto-flower fem MSNL seedbank started using paper towel method.
3 gallon fabric pot with Roots Organics coco coir that was rinsed profusely (no additives or perlite) I plan to use perlite next grow.
6th Week birthday was on July 1, 2017 I don't know why she is so small but I assume its because I went against my better judgment and transplanted her a week or 2 in. Though she seems to be growing very bushy and not tall.
Shes under a 250watt LED grow light (actual) and has been on an 18/6 light schedule since week 3. Before that she was on 24/7. Next grow i will do 18/6 from the beginning to encourage early root growth. The light currently sits about 20 inches from the top of the plant. I just raised 2 inches because I saw a bit of tacoing in one of my leaves. Better safe than sorry
Water and feed daily with half strength GH trio and a about 4ml of calmag as I had an iron deficiency early on and these nutes are really lacking in the calcium department from what I've read. (Calmag has iron) I PH each feeding to right around a high 5.6 to low 5.7. I figure that the higher ph of my medum will cause some beneficial back and forth between 5.6 and 6. The PH of the coco typically sits between 6 and 6.5
Small fan blowing on her 24/7
Pretty decent temperatures all grow. Never goes above 85 and rarely even gets there. Average temp is right around 80. Humidity sits at a steady 40-50%
If she doesnt start producing buds by thursday, im going to switch her over to a 12/12 light schedule. Maybe shes got more photoperiod in her than auto. We will see.
Please comment your thoughts, concerns ideas and hate. Seriously I want it all. I think I have found my passion and Im loving every second of growing this girl so anything to make me a better parent would be more than appreciated. Happy Grows!
She sits about 5 inches tall from coco to tip. A bit short but her width is nice. Leaves are a nice deep green.

Look at all those juicy nodes. And whats that? Its officially a girl ladies and gentlemen. Quick question here: these are what are called PREFLOWERS, yes?

I have no clue whats happened in these two pictures. Somehow her leaves got damaged. Are tears like this a normal occurrence? I have a leaf that has a single hole in the center that ive decided had to do with light reflecting off of a droplet and burning through the leaf.

Enviornment. Its MUCH brighter in person. 250watt LED actual KINGBO grow light shining down on the star of the show. She rests upon a plastic pot lift designed to raise plants off the ground. This keeps her from sitting in runoff.

Thanks for checking out my very first grow! More to come if requested. Much love.
