I'm really excited about her structure

This I've never seen before. There is a shoot at the seedling leaf pedal. It was restricted by that brown stuff you can see under the leaf. Hard to describe, eh?

There is a shoot at the seedling leaf pedal...
A "seedling leaf" is called a "cotyledon". In my experience, everything under the 1st node dies around week 4/5. Just don't want you to think you're doing anything wrong if that happens.

You rock, thanks for the knowledge. cotyledon

I've never been able to bring myself to cutting off such luscious growth unless I know need to in order to get what I desire. I am undecided, so that ain't happenin.

I expect to employ LST and supercropping techniques. I've been supercropping my jade plants for the past couple years and I have a very good feel for how and when I'll go about doing that with this plant.

BTW, this is 24k Gold. The other 2 plants (stunted growth due to my stupid) have nearly identical structure. But it doesn't correlate with this suggestion. NOT tall.
Our advice to growers is to germinate 24k Gold marijuana seeds outdoors, namely because this strain grows tall during the vegetative cycle.

I know, excellent growth, right???

Nope, I want to see how tall she gets. My original plan was to bring it outside next year... undecided.

Not as good growth as before. Had some issues that would have ruined my accelerated growth. Addressed problems, which took all evening. Very happy because I think I identified and resolved my first major problem!

Not happy about the red stem leaf stem (bottom right). I know 99% of you will say that is nothing to worry about and that it is genetic. I think I fixed the problem early enough for that to go away or never spread to the rest of the plant.

It is not coincidence that I had this problem and that stem at the bottom is red. Red is not a sign of optimal growth. Stems should be green. I am growing for accelerated, optimal growth and I am very intimate with these plants.

Also, it appears my implementation of CO2 (vinegar+sodium bicarbonate) is effective! I thought it wouldn't do much because the intake/exhaust run 24/7.

This is the fastest growing cannabis plant I've ever grown.

I just did the math, this plant cannot be more than 26 days from seed sprouting. That last pic would be day 24.

Seeds arrived Oct 10. Put them in water. Planted them Oct 11. No way they sprouted Oc12. Earliest would have been Oct 13.

Amazing.

...and that red leaf stem is mostly green now.

I decided she will flower in a tent, probably 4x4. The bottom branches needs to grow about 18 more inches, they're already catching up with the meristem rather well. Trying to think why I should not do SCROG.

Well, I guess I better get this tent setup quick lol

I'm sticking with Viraspectra, but I will be getting their XS series to flower.

I still don't believe the dates on this thing...
