I used to germinate some seeds for my friend a couple years ago as a teenager and I used this method of germination, I've had 100% success rate so far and this time it is a success too :)

This week, which was the first week of my growing ever, was actually pretty good, I was worried day 4 that I stunted her because when I was taking a photo of her I accidentally dropped my phone on her and I supercropped her by accident but it turned out she wasn't affected by that at all. Moreover I'm amazed by how much of a progress she made, day 1 she was just a seed with a little root poking out and day 7 she is a very strong girl with her true leaves nearly twice the size of her cotyledons and second node visible. I'm proud of this first week and I hope the next week will be even better. I really like this new hobby.

there's day 8 missing cuz I was at work and then I went straight to see my friend, I wasn't at home all day Happy days! As you can see I have the net that I actually fixed already before I even started growing, it turns out I placed it perfectly, the plant is still below the net and at the same time she's currently developing the 3rd node simultaneously with some side branches. Once she grows above the net (probably next week when developing 4th node) it will be a perfect time to start the scrog lst training and uncover those lower side branches so they can get more light and produce more buds in the future and also to keep the plant short as my box is barely 2ft high lmao. Wish me luck!

So basically the LST i performed on her was a total failure, let me explain why. I am dumb and I was harming the leaves of my plant unintentionally, I made myself a little hook out of those wires you use to bend your plants to pull young branches out to the light more easily but I didn't notice that there was a piece of wire pointing out at the end. Anyway after switching to interacting with my plant with bare hands, giving her more light, removing all the wires used to LST the plant and feeding her she fortunately bounced back and is doing fine so far. Also sorry for lack of pictures this week, I was working quite a lot

So far so good, I'm so happy she bounced back after my huge messup, she's growing steadily so far and I pray she keep on vegging as long as possible, I'd really love to have the whole screen filled before the harvest however I'm aware filling out 45x55cm screen with 1 autoflowering strain is going to be rather difficult Day 30 I also fucked up tbh because I tried to bend a way too young branch and I accidentally snapped it off so 1 branch less :/ I still got a couple so I'm not discouraged, that's just gonna be a lesson learned

I haven't veen around for a while but my plant kept on doing her thing, she looks gorgeous now, she is full on flowering and I am extremely happy with how this grow is going, in the next week or 2 I will replace that 45w blurple with 60w led quantum board filled with samsung lm281b diodes which should set me up for blooming perios when the buds stack, I nearly filled the 55x45cm screen and I'm expecting high yield after I install the new LED board

Nice start! Do you plan on running that light for the entire grow?
Kiffy_Pothead
Kiffy_Potheadcommented3 years ago
@Granddaddy_Terp, okay I'm definitely going to ask some questions about budget lights when I'm preparing for the next run. Thanks you so much for that and happy growing to you too my growmie! I've seen some delicious buds of yours and I'm definitely following your grows too
Granddaddy_Terp
Granddaddy_Terpcommented3 years ago
@Kiffy_Pothead, Gotcha! Makes sense. If you ever have questions about lights in the future feel free to hmu. Like you I was on a tight budget my first grow so I did a whole lot of research into budget options for led boards. There are definitely some good ones around $40-$50! Good luck on the rest of your grow. I'll be following it!

Kiffy_Potheadcommented3 years ago
@Granddaddy_Terp, so my box is 52x64cm base and 58cm height, the light is 31x31cm 120deg apex angle, I had extremely low budget this time and I think I'll stick to this light for that run but I'll definitely get myself a 100w led board, I've seen one on amazon for 38.99 and it honestly looks quite promising. Let's say that for the sake of knowledge I'm just checking if I can grow weed under shitty light lmao

Looking good growmie 👈 I've just finished my Northernlights Auto , a month ago , and it smokes so good👌 Happy Growing mate 👊

Tropicannibis_Toddcommented3 years ago
@Kiffy_Pothead, well mine went around 17 weeks I believe, but I worked her hard so that adds time , to finish her out 👈 gl bud ...... she such a great strain she took 3rd place in the febs diary of the month 👈

Kiffy_Potheadcommented3 years ago
@Tropicannibis_Todd, thank you very much gro, I can't wait till my one is finished, I reckon this is one of the longest growing strains tho but I'm not in a hurry, longer grow means more time to learn

Hey there! Thanks so much for running a diary for our genetics. Let me know if you need any assistance, we would more than happy to help 😎 Happy Growing 🙌
Fast_Buds
Fast_Budscommented3 years ago
@Kiffy_Pothead, Hey there! Let's see how she goes for you, generally we would recommend at least 75w per plant. But you gotta work with what you have! Let us know how she goes, we will check in here when we can!

Kiffy_Potheadcommented3 years ago
@Fast_Buds yo guys! I'm so happy to have you here :D So far the girl I got from you is doing mad gains, I forgot to fill my water colled AC unit with water last night and it got a little too hot in the growbox causing her to stretch a bit but I'm gonna cover up the stem later on today so she should be fine. I'm kinda concerned tho if 45W led light will be enough for her but I'm hoping for the best. What do you guys think?
