My First Grow!

CannaGrowNetwork —

CannaGrowNetwork My grow started off as a shit show, the plants were growing fine but i didn't have a very good light, no airflow in or out, and no experience or knowledge to grow cannabis, that doesn't start coming til about week 4!

CannaGrowNetwork at the beginning of the grow i had no idea what i was doing, nor was i really taking photos

CannaGrowNetwork So this is the week i really started to find myself having problems. i wasnt monitoring ph levels, tracking how long plants were in pots for, or even know what strain genetic information was, this is when i started hitting the books.

CannaGrowNetwork At this point in the game i'd started learning how to properly grow cannabis, but i was far from done! i had initially thought the discoloring of my leaves was from the plants outgrowing their pots, on week 5 here i transplant the plants, and hit them with nutes and calmag, having no idea the plants were actually suffering from a ph lockout. as i said, my first grows turning out to be a shitshow, but i myself as a grower have come a long way.

CannaGrowNetwork Here in week 6 we have quite a few upgrades! I ordered a 4 inch inline fan & filter kit from amazon, added C02 in the room, added more fans for more airflow. i also bought a ph & ppm tester! Finally able to monitor ph levels i started watering with a ph of 6.2, it was until then that the lockout started serolving. i also started LST and defoliation or "lollipopping".

CannaGrowNetwork More big upgrades this week! Purchased a new tent, it was a cheaper knockoff tent 6x6, added a net, also flipped to flower! More defoliation and i bent the mains stocks of the two tallest plants over because i didn't like how tall they were.

CannaGrowNetwork In this week we didnt have much for upgrades, i added a full sized oscillating fan, i removed the elastic net because i wanted to change it to a nylon style net, and i also wanted to transplant before i set them into netting. Started observing many pistols forming at bud sites.

CannaGrowNetwork Alright this week we started doing great! transplanted to 7 gallon fabric pots, added nylon netting. started to get gnats so i bought yellow sticky traps. plants were stretching as they should be. all in all a good week!

CannaGrowNetwork Also a great week! i upgraded and added a mars hydro ts 1000, this is where we really start taking off!

CannaGrowNetwork Everything seemed to run smoothly in this week, i did more selection defoliation, upped the nutes, and continued to observe the growth of flowers. We started to get heavy trichome productions around bud sites, and the smell started to become, quite dank.

CannaGrowNetwork This has surely been a great week! the plant switched the focusing of energy from stretching to the light, to the bud production, and i couldnt be happier!

CannaGrowNetwork Bud are really fluffing up, noticing more and more white hairs fading to red, some purpling of the edges of leaves. 11/09/2021 i found ONE amber trichome!!!!! Shes starting to ripen up.

CannaGrowNetwork No bud report yet but the plants a dank and stinkin up the house. Ill update as i cure!
