Germination

I used paper towel with two plated domed over the towel. The seeds spouted well. Then I placed them in fabric pot, rocks on the bottom, worm castings and potting soil mixes the rest of the way 20/80 respectively.

Older plant has been growing great. My younger plant’s leaves were slightly drooping for 36 hours but that has pretty much stopped. I’m super happy with it so far. I’d appreciate any comments.

Everything seems pretty good so far, my leaves are nice and green and growing well. I really hope that I don’t screw this up, but if I do I will learn from my mistakes.

Everything seems good, I’m trying to get another two plants started but I keep messing up the germination some how. These two girls have been getting bigger each day and growing more leaves each day. I will be going to jail at the beginning of December so I hope they are done by then.

My babies grew more this week than any other so far, I noticed the newest and highest leaves are getting slightly discolored so I raised the light higher. So far so good, they are giving off a minor sweet and delicious scent that is very enjoyable.

Everything is going fine, I just wish that my plants grew taller so that I can get a bigger yield. I think that I over watered them especially in the beginning, perhaps that is why they are so short.

Everything seems to be going great. The only thing that I noticed was that I’m getting some brown tips on my leaves. It’s not terrible at all, so I think that they are good.

My plant that is younger by two days appears to be much more healthy. It’s taller and it’s much more bushy. I think that I gave my older plant more nutrients than it needed. It could have just been a crappier seed but I doubt that. I’m getting anxious to start harvesting so I want these plants to starts flowering now.

My 2 day younger plant in the back is definitely growing better than the front one. The one in front is very dense and short while the rear plant has spread a lot better and grown taller so far. I’m not sure if I should clip some off the front plant to make room for sunlight. With this being my first grow ever, I’m happy with the progress.

My plant is dense, all of the stems and flowers are close to the stalk. I was wondering if trimming all of the sun leaves to make room for sunlight would be a good idea, I don’t want to hurt my plant.

With auto's I rely on low stress training and do minimal leaf removal. I only remove fan leaves that are shading a bud site. Before doing that though I will tuck the problem leaf under and only remove it if it keeps popping out and annoys me.

Everything is still looking pretty good. I’m getting some crispy tips on my leaves and I’m starting to see a real improvement on the flower growth. Can’t wait to chop it down.

I was out of town for the last 6 days and I had my sister water my plants twice, when I came back I couldn’t believe how much they had grown. Not looking at them everyday really let’s you show how much taller and bushier they get. I’m getting excited to finally harvest them. My two small plants will taken their place eventually.

Buds are starting to get some size. The hairs are not changing color yet, I moved the pots so the back one is in the front and the front is in the back. I wanted them to be more similar in size and bud quality. I really should have done this a few times during the grow. Now I know for next time.

Awesome week. My bigger plant has started to have some serious bud growth. The hairs are turning a beautiful orange color and the hairs are getting a bit bigger. Once the buds are ready to harvest I will cut the top off so the lower buds can continue to grow. I hope that the smaller plant will continue to grow and be healthy while producing beautiful buds.

The buds that I cut to dry are dense and hairs are mostly all orange. The trichomes seem to be at a good size but I’m started to think they should be larger before cutting. I thought “Baby Girl” would start growing more quickly after rotating my plants but she’s still slow moving. Any advice on harvesting would be greatly appreciated.

Could I please get some help or more information on when to start harvesting? I clipped off the top third of my plant believing that it’s time to harvest, but I’m not exactly sure how to tell. I think I’m just getting antsy and want to start drying and curing already.

The trichomas and their therpenoids & cannabinoids suffer so much from light and heat, so if you want to smoke nice buds, please check any guide to dry & curing procedure to have the best effect and taste from your weed. The only effective way to know when to cut a plant is when you check the bud trichomas, dont check the sugar leaves from the buds because they'll mature earlier than the bud itself. When you do the best to grow your plants you want the BBT as I like to say (Big, Beautiful, tasty) so every part of the grow and dry&cure will have a massive impact of the quality you get, so imho you need to have patience. Have a nice day

I was able to trim off one stem of flowers. I waited until all of the hairs are brown and then hung it up in a closet. My other plant still isn’t maturing quickly if at all. I’d appreciate any advice, comments, questions.
