FIRST grow:
To start off, I'm happy there was an actual harvest! I know some first grows give disappointing results but I couldn't be happier. The grow was easy with some minor problems. I learned A LOT and will handle my next grow differently.
The harvest is split in 2 piles. On the pictures the left pile is the good bud and on the right is the smokable bud that will likely find its way into some brownies.
I used crappy nutrients so the buds are not massive, this combined with more topping and lst will be the biggest changes in the next grow.
Thank for the support!: 1:
Loved this grow! A friend of mine is currently growing the same strain at day 40f. You seem to have a pretty good idea what you're doing now but I have a couple of recommendations for any future grows. IIRC you topped your plant, which some people don't recommend with autos. Personally I abide by this and just let my [friends] autos grow as nature intended, but I also haven't seen many instances with topping autoflowers leading to big problems. Usually just a bit of stunting which is easily fixed with kelp extract. I think your main issue was height by the looks of things, which is really annoying. The best way to fix height (imo) is by super cropping, bending branches to cause a stress and hormonal response. Not only does it mean you can limit the height of your future plants, but you can increase yield by doing this. Finally, i'd recommend some of RQS's fast flowering photoperiod seeds. Autos are beautiful in their own right, but if you want to do any HST like topping or super cropping then autos really aren't the best way to go sadly. Good luck on any future grows and if you ever need advice just drop me a message!
@The_Ending_that_dannyed,
Thanks for the tips! I have already planted another quick one, so switching is not an option. I have looked into super cropping and it looks interesting. At first it looked a bit brutal but after some research I can see its benefits. I'l definitely try it out.
Hi this is a super fast version I wouldn't recommend topping her unless you have space issues as the 4-5 week is super important for development of good buds - looks like it will be a nice canopy 👍
@phailure, I'd suggest using some sort of LST instead of topping if you aren't experienced, and if you don't know growweedeasy.com i'd suggest to take a look there aswell ;)
Hi sorry I am on my first grow and wanted to know what kind of light did u use?led?u done a good job i hope i could do at least half of what you done 😰
