Happy Bird Seeds - Volcano Girl feminized
Fox Farms Happy Frog and Ocean Forest mixture
Watered with well water ~400ppm
3 gallon fabric pot

Day 2 after breaking surface


Day 12


Day 17
In the 3 gallon fabric pot. I think I transplanted a couple days before this pic.


Day 19
This lady is short and stout. Nodes are stacking on top of each other but she is healthy and full.



Day 21
I just dropped the light to 50% to see if that is keeping this girl from growing up at all.

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Day 22

Lowering the light intensity seems to have helped. It is looking bigger and fuller every 12 hours.

Welp, still day 22 and I snapped a branch off dickin around d so I just decided to top it. Hopefully it bounces right back. I'm sure it will.

Day 23

She bounced right back from the topping last night.

I'm always freaked out thinking I've hurt the plants too & they always recover

Never a doubt with this girl. She is stout and healthy like a softball player!!! Lol

Day 27

Still looking great. Getting bigger every day.

Looking good..

Day 29
Nothing new, but she is getting bigger and fuller by the day.

Noticed this spot on one of the leaves this evening. Could this have been from when the fan was blowing directly on her?

Man I had 2 leaves mysteriously melt out of existence on June 25th & 26th & never found out why. No pests, no disease, sometimes its just an alien abduction? I did have 2 fans running on low but idk, never saw it again.

Yea, I had one on my clone experiment get a little chewed up the other day and I couldn't find a thing on it.

Day 30

looking great. I snapped a branch off so went ahead and added it to my Goofing around with clones experiment. It is definitely loving the addition of the 2nd light in the tent.

Look great man! Whats your light type & distance, just curious.

I got 2 of these LED's for like $30 each. Got one early July and one the other day when they got posted up in the deals thread. So far, I am a big fan. We will see how they do come time to flower.

I currently have them about 16" above the Volcano Girl and about 19" above the other 5 bag seeds

Day 31

The stems/branches on this plant are brittle. I was moving stuff around, looking at the plant and broke off another one. They just snap right off clean. Right in the middle of the stem. So, I went ahead and super cropped the 4 remaining big stems and bent them down and spread her out a bit. The stems pinched really easy and bent down nice and smooth. I took the broken branch and mixed up some compost and tossed it in an unused raised bed outside. I'll add it to my goofing around with a clone post.

Day 32

This girl is solid. Look at the size of this fan leaf. It's a beast!!!

Day 34
Not a surprise since it was a fem seed, but someone please verify that she is showing her sex with this, right? Kind of exciting since she is my first plant to show female signs.

Definitely looks like a pistil to me, although I admittedly have limited experience
