:leaf: Plant was germinated on January 5th, 2011 at 11:45 a.m.
:leaf: Planted in grow sponge on January 6th, 2011 at around midnight with the taproot about a half inch long.
:leaf: January 20th: First nutrient mixture of 1.25 mL of FloraMicro and FloraBloom was given.
:leaf: January 24th: Added more nutrient mixture to resevoir. (She's drinking alot :grin:)
*Plant looks much healthier now with nutrients. The leaves were drooping very badly before but now they are reaching out horizontally*
*Grow sponge was also beginning to get some sort of fungus growth so aluminum foil was added to keep light off the moist grow sponge and hopefully kill off and reduce further growth*

Its amazing how much it started growing after the nutrient addition.
:leaf:One of the first set of leaves began wilting after the second set began growing and im not sure if its going to heal or die and fall off.
:leaf:Aluminum foil was added for the fungus growing on the sponge but i havent checked it yet to see if its still growing or not. (Probably going to wait until this weekend to pull it off)

Will probably do another update around the 5th of February and by then she'll probably be close to her flowering phase.

Yeah man, these girls seem to love nutrients. I started one of my ladies in an aerogarden 6 and moved her after two weeks into my hydro bubbler. She has really taken off since giving her some nutes! It's crazy! Think I'm gonna flush and nute every other week for now though. How often are you nuting?

Alright, shes on day 41 now. She has fully entered the flowering stage and her sex has been evident for about 2-3 weeks. Over the past two days i have started seeing small baby sized buds on her 3 main chutes.

:leaf: After giving her the 1.25 mL of Micro and Bloom for a couple weeks i bumped it up to 3 mL of both.
:leaf: Around 5 days after giving her the 3 mL i mixed a stronger solution of 5 mL per gallon and she seems to be taking to it really well.
:leaf: I believe i may possibly have a phosphorous deficiency though because some of her larger lower leaves seemed to be dying in some places.
:leaf: In the next 1-2 weeks i plan on upping the solution again to probably 8 mL of Micro and 10 mL of Bloom per gallon which is a bit lower than whats recommended on GH's feeding table.
:leaf: I also added 2 55w 2700k cfl's to the three aerogarden lights giving me a total of 5 cfl's.

Overall i believe she's doing fairly well for my first grow.
First three pics are of my beginning baby buds, 4th pic is of two little lady bugs that i found one morning (thought it might be good luck :D), and 5th pic is to show how much she has grown since January 26th (19 days total).

I started seeing preflowers at roughly around day 30 from seed (may have been sooner, not exactly sure). They start growing alot more at around week 4-5 with a good nutrient mixture from my experience with the strain.
