This diary is based on and authorized by our well-beloved grower and friend Mosquito from the Netherlands. We'll gain insights into the growth and development of the Hellfire OG strain, a cross between OG Kush and SFV OG Kush.

| Growing Review | An easy grow, the plant didn't need much attention. |
| Smoke Report | The taste is wonderfully old-school citrus/earthy, with lots of THC on it. |
Germination
Mosquito started germination using the simple paper towel method (in his case, flat cotton balls). The seed sprouted in just 48 hours. As the seedling showed early growth, he was eager to get this Hellfire OG autoflower going.
Weeks 1 and 2
In the first two weeks, there was steady growth. The plant was in a small 0.2-liter pot under 18-hour light. He kept temperatures at 22°C during the day and 18°C at night with 75% humidity. By week 2, the seedling had doubled in height to 4 cm, so he needed to move to a larger 50-liter pot.
Weeks 3 and 4
In the 3rd week, the plant steadily continued to grow, reaching heights of 7 cm in week 3 and 9 in week 4. Environmental conditions remained stable, though nighttime temperatures were slightly adjusted. The plant’s health remained sturdy, although there was a minimal decrease in humidity in the grow tent.
Weeks 5 and 6
At week 5, the plant was getting larger and showed signs of vigorous development. Because the day temperature increased during this week, the nutrient schema was adjusted. Mosquito started by applying Low-Stress Training (LST), and by week 6, the plant had shot up to 40 cm. Such fast growth is a clear sign of the nearing flowering phase.
Weeks 7 and 8
By week 7, the plant was 55 cm tall, which was great, but it was also showing signs of overfeeding, so the feeding was adjusted. In week 8, the plant reached a height of 70 cm. The nutrient mix was improved, and the plant kept getting bigger, so it was necessary to cut some leaves to keep the growth suitable.
Weeks 9 and 10
The flowering phase kicked in, with the plant reaching 77 cm in week 9. Nutrient levels were increased to get the most out of the flowering phase. Defoliation was applied to manage dense foliage, and throughout week 10, the plant was starting to show a beautiful jungle-like appearance.
Weeks 11 and 12
The plant stayed at 85 cm in height while flowering. Mosquito maintained the same light and temperature conditions as the previous weeks. Nutrient mixes were optimized for better bud growth.
By week 12, Mosquito started preparing the plant for harvest by minimizing the nutrients.
Harvest Time
It is always rewarding to harvest, and all the effort put into a plant pays off. One plant yielded 191.5 grams of dry buds.
