Germination
4 years ago
I germinated my seeds in water for 24 hours and after the 24 hours was up I put the seeds in a damp paper towel and into a food bag, I them placed them in a dark warm area in my kitchen. Within 2 days my seeds were looking good with long tails and even a leaf on one seed. I couldn't be any happier with my first results from germination as I was a bit unsure what would happen or if any of the seeds would germinate but low and behold all four germinated for me now I just need to keep them alive for harvest

Week 1 is still in motion the seeds were planted 4 days ago and 3 of the 4 have popped up from the soil and they are looking good. All 3 of them have 4 little leafs on them, so far so good. One thing I have notice through this first week is that my humidity is a lot higher than I first anticipated, I did a test day to see how and if everything worked I ran the test for about 2 hours and everything looked good and the temperature was right the humidity was spot on at 70 but since I planted the humidity has been ranging from 90% to 70% is this normal during the first stages of a grow can anyone help me? Just to clarify I don't give 1 liter to my plants it won't let me say the exact amount and it keeps changing the ammout I put in

Week 2 has flown by and the plants have grown a lot since the begginging of the week and I am very proud of myself for not killing them so far. I just water them every 2 days and they seem to like that, I am hopping to start them on Bio Bizz nutrients in the next few days.

It's the last day of week 3 and my girls are looking good I decided to start giving them some nutrients, so I filled a bucket with 11 liters of water and each plant takes around half a liter each every 2 days. I did try some defoliation but was a bit hesitant due to being a new grower and not sure where to start, I did remove a few bottom leafs but didn't remove too much. Any advice on this would be great as I don't want to cut off a stem that will be a flower site

It's the first day of week 4 and they are looking good I am still hesitant of defoliation as I don't want to take too much off and not having much bud sights, so any advice on this would be very much appreciated. I do think they like where they are as they just keep growing everyday. I still have my bucket of 11 liters of water this should last me a week or two dependant on how thirsty my girls get. Also I have seen a lot of brown spotting on some of the leaves what does this mean? I will take a photo for you to see, is the brown spotting coming there because I am doing something wrong? Finally took the plunge at day 30 to do some proper defoliation and start some lst and I am glad that I read a lot of diary's on here and watched plenty of videos on YouTube this showed me that the process was easy and nothing to worry about. Also by doing this I have seen that my 2 auto amnesia have started to show signs of flowering, the auto white widow seems to be a little behind. It is still my first grow so I am learning as I go, they get watered every other day I found that they like the nutrition I have been given them, since I started with the feed they have grown a lot more, also during the week I moved my lights to 33 inches as we noticed that some of the leaves looked like they were being burned by the led. Well its the last day of week 4 and they are looking good I am so surprised at how quick and big they have grown in such a short time I have also learned that there is nothing to be scared of with defoliation and lst. originally I wasn't going to do any of that with my first grow but the leaves were so thick and blocking all the light to other leaves I just couldn't watch them fighting for the light anymore so took the plunge to try my best.

Well it's the first day of week 5 and they are growing very well since their defoliation and lst, I know its only been a few days, so I won't see much changes. After a couple of days went by I decided I needed to do some more defoliation as some of the leaves I left grew out to big fan leaves that were covering the flowering ones. Only been watering with water so far as they had a good dose of nutrition during week 4, will leave them on water for a few days then start back on the feed. Day 2 finished and it looks like they are just finishing their veg cycle and starting to show some signed of flowering. I do think I have made a mistake with this week, I don't think they are in vegetation they seem to be in their first week of flower even though the white widow seems to be a bit behind the amnesia as the amnisia shows more signs of being in flower than the white widow does, I will keep you all updated on how the next 3 days of week 5 are going. Week 5 has finished and they look very well, but I did see some strange brownish/reddish spotting on one of the leaves can anyone tell me what this means I have added a photo of this.

I believe this is Magnesium Deficiency.. You'll see some interveinal yellowing and irregular rust brown spots on older and middle growth. I had the same issue and some epsom salts took care of it pretty quick. Cal-mag should help if you dont have a direct source of mag like epsom salts

It's day 1 of week 6 and I am really happy with how my plants have turned out so far, with just having the odd problem here and there. They are looking good considering this is my first time growing. It's day 4 of week 6 and early this morning my electric meter ran out, not sure what my plants are going to be like today, will this be a bad thing or a good thing? They are currently on 20 hours of lights and 4 hours off would the extra darkness help or not? Well it's the last day of week 6 and everything is looking very good I can't wait to try these buties after the harvest.

Well week 7 has flown by my plants are doing really well with no problems to report this week as its been such a straight forward week considering this is my first time growing I feel like I ain't doing such a bad job of it. The only thing I have done this week is some light defoliation, watering and feeding.

It's the first day of week 8 and everything looks good, I have noticed a few of my leaves has a yellow tip but I think that's due to the light being slightly too close to the plants which is easy to sort out. I think this week will be the last week of feeding as there is 3 more weeks or thereabouts until they will be ready for harvest, so if my plan goes the way that it is meant to all the nutrition in the plants should be depleted fully by then. I have also moved my light up today on day 2, should be able to see what happens from that in the next few days. The plants have also had a very good feed today too. Did some light defoliation yesterday as some of the leaves were blocking flower sites the flowers are looking very good this week with a few of them being bigger than my hands which is a good sign in my eyes.

The start of week 9 looks good nothing to report other than they are growing really well and there is no problems at all so far. The buds look really big and growing nicely. One thing I need to add is that I have been putting the wrong amount of 2 of the nutrients I use and only just noticed this on the last day of week 8. Week 9 flew by but I have been busy with day to day life this week and haven't been as active as I wanted to, but I havent had any problems at all this week. I decided to give an extra week of feed seeing as I hadn't been giving the right amount, even though I didn't see any problems by this, but it is my first grow so I might not see or understand if a problem was happening in front of me.

It's the second day of week 10 and I am trying to catch you all up on what's been happening. So far so good I have stopped all nutrition and just giving 6.6 ph water to the plants, I have noticed since doing this some of the leaves have started to change colour to a yellow/ brownish colour is this a good sign? I am also wondering when is the best time to start and change the light schedule so they are ready for harvest? Also this week I will be going away with work for 3 days it's a shame that they are not ready to harvest now, my neighbour will be watering them for me while I am away. My neighbour did a good job in watering my plants for me while I was away, they are looking good and plump I am hoping that week 12 will be the week I harvest my plants.

Well it's the first day of week 11 everything is getting exciting now seen as my plants are nearly ready for harvest. Let's see how this week goes I started my flushing at the end of week 9 which I think I could have started at week 10 instead but I am still learning, I can always try it next time Week 11 has gone by so quickly with no problems and the plants are still not ready for harvest which is a shame looks like another week or so to go we shall see what happens next week.

Well it's week 12 and I think it might be time for harvest the plants look in excellent condition and are full of cloudy trichomes on them. I will start them in darkness this afternoon for the next few days and see how that goes. Also can anyone tell me what's the best way for drying them I was thinking of hanging them in the grow tent and go from there. Day 3 of week 12 and they are in darkness for the next 2 days let's see how they go from there. I left the plants in darkness for 72 hours as I had such a busy day yesterday and couldn't tend them, I am looking forward to defoliation now and cutting them down and hanging them up to dry.

I found these very easy to grow for my first time I did forget to weigh them wet as I didn't have a scale then but bought some a few days after so the wet weight won't be very accurate because of this. I will put an update when they have finished drying out. I will say that they took about 3 weeks to fully dry not sure if I did something wrong during the drying process for it to take so long.
