okay so as you can see I have harvested all the lower branches like I said i did in the last week update. i knew it would be terrible smoke but I did smoke it even so and it's ok, I have bought worse from the street lol. she's been watered when needed to flush but today she got 4ish litres for her final drink, once shes dried up her pot she will then be put on her own for her last 48hours alive to be in complete darkness and then she's on the block :D today I took another from nug near the top as im so eager!( weighted 8.8 grams wet) it's very hard for me to not ruin my efforts at this stage because I could have harvested last week but it wasn't time then and it isn't time right now. im a weak person and have little will power and I want everything yesterday :/ I am learning good things come to those who wait , especially with Mary Jane. I can give her longer as I have noticed she is still fattening up slightly and maturing in her own time and I think the water only is giving her the freshness she needed from always taking neuts on and not getting a break from me with the big bottle lol. I also found a cool way to hang up my crop... using shower curtain rings with a little crocodile clip on. had loads laying around with the idea to hang up wire with them or something but they work fantastic to hang up buds from the stem. stay tuned in the the last episode of First grow ever! and thank you to everyone who's stopped in to give advice or wish luck! it means alot and i feel very welcome in this community. thank you all

the reason your lower branchs are going brown is nutrient burn you i can see brown tips on most pics try lower dose are you ph water and you are over watering see the tips curling down you want your leave pointing up to the sky almost like there praying what i would do if i was you do not feed till its dry so you can lift the pot and there is no weight then water slow lil bit at atime or you will shock her but your doing a good job bro keep up the good work

hey man I didn't really think of my feed being too strong but I just feed her a strong one, when I say strong I mean like 5 mil per litre, before reading this and if I had I would have waited until tomorrow. but saying that I have been as you saw feeding her similar to what I am now (kinda on a whim) and she has still grown to this point but I'll take note as this stage it's crucial I don't mess it up! no feed tomorrow perhaps the day after and I'll see if anything changes but I think I got pretty much all the brown leaves and redundant branch's now I'll see if they come back. thanks for the advice and dropping by mate :)

You could place a fan blowing outwards from you grow space over the hole you've prepared for the ducting, this will help a lil bit with the temp inside your grow.

thanks man tbh she's been good to me in terms of not throwing off problems left and right, even with my hamfisted approach to growing lol. I don't have a ppm meter so no idea what my ppm is but it is probably wrong haha. yea I wondered about the light but it got it this far but I think it should be stronger for flowering and yea training would help as she shot straight up. if im completely honest I haven't actually measured how much water I give her... I guess on the container size and just measure the nuets and pH level. I think for my actual next grow I'll be more methodical as some strains wouldn't this I think lol. thanks for stopping in bro :)

yea man I counted 13 or 15 but I was high :) I think I'll leave it as is because this is my first ever grow so I don't want to mess it up after coming so far already. my other diary is a photoperiod so I'll experiment with that one as I can decide when it flowers. I will keep growing, it really is a hell of a feeling to take control and grow yourself!

bigdaddyk thanks for the advice, yes i started using the Coco grow a and B and the bloom a and B mixed together in water and ph'ed for the bigger one and I use just grow on the 8ball. I only started to pH my water 2 days ago with lemon juice. I'll upload some more pics as it's starting to flower now :) also i have no idea on how to up humidity! I've tired to add a half gallon of water in the corner of the room and I'm at 38/40% not great but it's very dry here.

Looks to me like you still have lots of white straight hairs. You want most of them orange and curled in. I’d say more than a week but I’m just going by the pictures.

@Apprenticegrow420, I'm feeling your pain. 2 of my girls are taking their time. It's killing me.

I gave her just water today might see how that goes... 2weeks from now is do able for me, I'll dry it properly but I'll take bits out to smoke when it's curing so the last bud should be the best. I won't cut now I don't want to waste my efforts lol I just wish it would move it's arse for the last bit!

@Apprenticegrow420,you want 2 weeks flush trust me i know what you mean need in a hurry but when you come to think of it its not worth smoking your bud till a month after cut dry cure if you cut now you will be disappointed with the taste the weight and the stone will last 10 15 mins just a lil head high but i have only harvest one by myself rest with pals that know what there doing best advice i can give to you is read lots try growweedeasy.com thought me most things i no good luck

Also if you can get a magnifying glass then look at the frost on the buds, if theyre still crystal clear like glass then shes not ready, you want your trichomes (frost) to be either milky (will look like plastic instead of glass) or a milky with a mix of amber, milky will give you higher thc, having a mix of white and some amber trichomes (about 20%) will give you more cbd, any point past that though she will start losing potency.you usually want something that'll give you atleast 10× magnification to get a real gauge otherwise as i said before if the frost looks like glass it isnt ready, if it looks like plastic then it probably almost is :) hope this helps

yea man ill check it out! anything I can do/control to get a better harvest and one that will help me the way I want it too is a good thing in my book! I think with this one id just be happy with just some half decent smoke that tastes good lol the high is one thing but if it tastes bad that's the worst one

If it works then why change it hey? haha You dont neccessarily have to base it off of that but its one of your most accurate indicators of when to pull for what high you want from your buds, here is a really good article on it and about what to look for with your trichomes :)https://www.growweedeasy.com/harvest/#trichome-method

hey man i started this grow in a laundry cupboard first then the plant got too tall and I moved then into my ensuite shower (that isn't used as it has bad water pressure) as a grow room just needs to be more light tight haha. yea I have an extractor fan from off the wall and extended it to extract straight from the cubicle. I don't have a magnifying glass as of yet I'll try an pick one up soon though! I didn't know the tricomes colours made a difference... so milky is high thc and amber is high CBD? not sure which one I'd prefer :)

Be patient! You don’t want the past few months to be a waste!

yea I know I know :/ saying that I'll still harvest in 4/ 5 days max as I need the space. If id have harvested before when I wanted to then i would've been pissed at myself because what I did take off isn't great at all, you can see in the pics. so im glad in holding off this long I can go a little longer for her.

fairplay bro coming on nice i would say 3 4 weeks max including nice flush wait for them hairs to start going brown Orange they look like they start curling back in kind of but as said above wait till its amber i like 10% white 90%amber give nice couch lock heads up quter dose with big bud then work up or you will get mad burn
Apprenticegrow420
Apprenticegrow420
thanks man... so 3 to 4 weeks is longer than I wanted to wait but all I have is time with her :) I'll keep her updated so you guys can help me choose a good Harvest time. also yea I know about the big bud, I stated it on 3mil from Friday and now she's on 5.5 ish and she seems fine but I'll watch out for any burning. :)

looking good! my baby blue cheese auto is on her first full day above ground. i can see from yours that I'm gonna have to train this one down to fit in the tent. it gets tall!
Apprenticegrow420
Apprenticegrow420
yea for sure man it grew alot in height and bushed out alot but more on one side from less light on one side lol but yea all good so far I hope I didn't leave it too late to trim her even though I was just going to leave her to grow her own way I felt all the bottom of the plant is useless but I lost a good branch and bud site from it snapping really bad. also she seems pretty resilient towards my hamfisted noob approach so I think a good one to start with so far.

You have a lot of possible bud sites, are you thinking in using other training methods?like defoliation? It went good on my first grow, it helped a lot the lower Vida to swallow a bit, they were really skinny before that Keep growing, smoking our own buds is the best feeling 😊

the defoliation has begun and check her out now! : )

Every grow you will learn and adjust to improve. Keep up the good work. 5ml/L is a lot. I use the AN Sensi aswell and never push past 4-500ppm. Which is only like 2ml/L max of the base. 100w LED May also be not enough light. Especially if the grow isn’t trained / scrogged so the light hits all the tops somewhat evenly. All good though , in future grows to come you can adjust and see what works for you. Happy growing bro hope the harvest goes well. I agree a good flush regardless of the trichomes is needed. Especially if the nutrient amounts were higher.

Are you using grow and bloom at the same time ? The plant looks good so far , it will start stretching and feeding heavy very soon , test the ph and EC of runoff , you might need to add some cal mag 👍 , see if you can increase the humidity a bit
