It has begun. This is a Vertigo autoflower from Paradise seeds. You can see the new leaves sprouting have a little shade of purple to them--do purple plants show purple leaves this early? Could be a good phenotype.

Supplies:
MG Organic Choice potting mix w/ ~30-40% Perlite
3 FF fertilizers (not using those yet... the MG soil pretty much covers an autoflower for the entire grow... I start using during flowering)
CFL's (6 total, ~17650 lumens, 291w): 85w 5500k (on now), 2 27w 5000k (one on now), 2 42w 2700k (one on now), 68w 2700k
fan, 3-speed
thermometer/humidity (broken)
Something like 3-4 gal bowl (it's in a solo cup for now)

Keep us updated man! I'm currently growing lowryder 2, planning on growing vertigo next. This will be interesting

Anyone know if plants show their purple hue this early on?

Officially into the 4th week of veg. 8 in tall now. She looks just about ready to flower. Slightly burned tips due to the MG Organic Choice soil. I haven't fed it anything and I don't plan on feeding it until flowering, if at all. All comments welcome

I tied down some of the side branches to allow for better light absorption.

32 days total after breaking soil, 6 days flowering.
Doing pretty well. I gave it some FF nutes yesterday (first time feeding). I used .25 tsp/gal tiger bloom and 1 tsp/gal big bloom. I'm only feeding it every other week until it really starts budding, because you can see the MG Organic Soil already has plenty of food in it due to the yellow tips. It drooped a bit yesterday when I watered, but as you can see today it has rebounded from that already.

She's sitting in a great temp, but the overall climate needs to be a bit more humid. I'll be fixing that asap.

All comments welcome

Day 41

I need some input...

I think she looks N deprived... but I'm not sure if it's that or nute burn. Really hoping someone can shed some light on this issue. The tips have always been a bit burned but now the fan leaves are going yellow. I know the plant starts to pull nutes from the leaves toward the end of flowering, so I'm worried this is a bit premature.
