Woops, excuse the first pic, that's an older one.
So this is 10 days after the seedling first broke ground. Seemed to be moving a little slow at first like i had said before.

It's actually just a top layer of perlite to prevent fungus gnats. The medium is 50/50 coco perlite underneath.PERALITE MUCH?!?!?! lols

So I have determined that it is the Kabrales. The other seed had still not sprouted after 3 weeks so I finally had to call it quits. I dug up the seed and compared it to the one that popped and it was easy to tell. The Kabrales seed was much smaller to begin with.
That being said, I'm not so sure this plant is going to make it either. The plant is just runty and deformed. I was unsure of the problem but now I have started to notice some slight yellowing of the leaves and a couple small brown spots. I think it might be a Phosphorus deficiency but it seems way to early in the plants life cycle for that to be happening. These pics were taken just today (Wednesday the 9th). I am feeding/watering at 1/5 strength every 2 - 3 days. Feed, Feed, Water, repeat. PH is 5.8 -5.9. Humidity it hovering around 40%. Temps running approx 77 degrees.
If you look at the leaves, they are small and deformed. They kind of hook under a little. Anyone know what my problem might be? I feel like the leaves should look much bigger and healthier at 2 weeks old.

Well it's past time for another update. Things are going great as of now!
The plant is getting bigger and the new leaves are looking extremely healthy as well as getting to a bigger, more normal size for their age. Still not quite where I'd like it to be overall, but it was so stunted from the beginning that I'm happy with it where it is. It's a vast improvement over where it was 2 weeks ago.
Man, no one told me about the serious learning curve with coco. All is well now but for a while there I was worried about the future of my lone plant.
Pics coming tomorrow!

Good afternoon everyone! Today is a glorious day! I changed the lights over to 12/12 and the flowering cycle will officially begin tomorrow. My little girl has finally become a woman lol.
But seriously, she has taken off in the past week or so. I have a feeling this is what I should have been seeing all along. All the reports I read, as few as there were, said she is very bushy. Well let me tell you, she is bushy as a mother fucker. I started doing some LST because I want to keep her as short as possible and that combined with the really short internode spacing has made her a squat, fat little lady. I'll pull leaves back and still can't see anything clearly underneath.
I can't wait for her to take off with the stretch in the next couple weeks and see just how bushy she can get. I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of trimming and SCROG to manage it.

Well I had a little snafu last night with the lights. Due to a problem with my light timer, partly my ignorance, partly a crappy design, the lights went off at 6:30 pm and came back on at 7:30 pm for two hours. Thankfully I caught it at 9:30. I can only hope that this wasn't too much stress for her. We'll just have to wait and see if she hermies.
Aside from that, things are going splendidly. The stretch has begun and she's taking off, albeit mostly sideways lol. I have to raise the lights about a half inch to an inch every day now.
I've been doing a lot of training and tucking. This girl is so squat that her tops are all getting in the way of each other. I had to trim off a couple more of the bottom fan leaves to make things a little more manageable.
I'll be switching to the 250W HPS sometime next week and adding a carbon filter. Man this girl stinks bad. It's at the point now where I walk into the house and I can smell it.

Day 11 of flower.
I just switched the light over to the 250w HPS today. I may have miscalculated on how much it would heat up the cabinet. Within 5 minutes of it being in the temp went from 77 to 91...
Well I'm fucked lol. Hopefully I can figure something out fast. I was relying on the air conditioning in my house being pulled in through the passive intakes but I don't think it will be enough. I really thought that a 100CFM inline fan would be able to cool it but apparently not. I might have to invest in a small air conditioner to put in the closet.
Here's some pics after the swap. Penelope, as I've come to call her, is almost done stretching and I'm glad I started training her early. The 250w is actually putting off some heat so it's good that she's so short. But damn did she get bushy. She's got about 14 tops now.

Well its day 20 of Flower and a lot has been happening.
Penelope, as my Fiancee has taken to calling her, has grown a lot, buds have started coming in, and she's even staring to throw a little frost on some of the leaves!
She's doi ng quite well for the environmental factors actually. Kabrales must be a pretty hardy strain because she isn't bothered by the heat at all. Which brings me to the next point. Since putting in the 250w HPS, the temps have been an issue. I've actually had to leave the door open to the cabinet and leave the air conditioning on all day just to keep the temps between 84-88. So much for stealth. But that's literally the best option available to me right now. If I close the door to the cabinet the temps shoot up to mid 90's in 10 minutes.
And to make matters worse, the Carbon filter I bought is useless now with the door open. So the whole bedroom and out into the hallway, which is conveniently right near the front door, absolutely STINKS. The smell has been changing a lot, first it was kind of hashy, then it turned to a foul foul baby puke smell, now it's actualy mildly cheesy. So hopefully none of my neighbors notice...
