Weeks 1-2

The seedlings emerged with delicate vigor, roots dusted generously with Dynomyco at transplant, laying a fungal foundation for strong growth. Gershygersh cautiously dialed in watering, correcting an early hiccup with overly acidic water at 5.6 pH. "Lesson learned," he mused, adjusting to a more hospitable 6.2.

Weeks 3-4

Leaves deepened into a robust green, plants gaining height under the 18-hour daily illumination. Early signs of nutrient adjustment became visible, prompting careful reconsideration of feeding schedules. Gershygersh leaned on intuition as much as the measuring cup, finding rhythm in the dance of growth.

Weeks 5-6

The vegetation period was stable, despite some yellowing leaves signaling minor nutritional missteps. A careful topping and gentle defoliation encouraged denser growth. The plants responded resiliently, shrugging off stress and thriving.

Weeks 7-8

Still in vegetative bliss, Gershygersh noted a minor leaf anomaly. "Not too sure what’s up with that leaf," he jotted, observing closely for spread. Overall, plants remained vibrant, the canopy lush and promising.

Weeks 9-10

Bolder growth prompted worries of nutrient overindulgence, tempered by attentive watering and minor adjustments. Anticipation grew for the flip to flowering, though meticulous preparations delayed the switch slightly. Gershygersh found humor in the patience required, jokingly questioning the mystery acronym 'AI.'

Weeks 11-12

The switch to flowering (12/12) marked a dramatic turning point. Buds emerged cautiously at first but soon developed into promising clusters. Initial efforts at taking cuttings excited Gershygersh, despite the challenge of space constraints, converting a closet into a makeshift propagation area.

Weeks 13-14

Flowering progressed steadily, a scrog net supporting increasingly heavy buds. Aphids and whiteflies introduced an unexpected challenge. Gershygersh navigated carefully, employing cold water rinses and neem oil cautiously, each decision weighed for effectiveness and plant safety.

Weeks 15-16

Bud development surged, rich aromas becoming pronounced, layered with hints of ginger and herbs. Nutrient balance became critical, with signs of slight overfeeding prompting a flush with pure water. Gershygersh adapted quickly, aiming for a balanced approach to feeding and pest management.

Weeks 17-18

Harvest approached with visible excitement and careful preparation. Final flushing intensified, moisture and trichome checks became ritualistic. A vigilant watch for trichome ambering dictated the precise harvest moment, an exercise in patience and precision.
