My First Grow - 3x Royal Dwarf

@growdoctordc, haha definitely less paranoia now! Yeah these are autos so I’ve given them a nice in between light schedule 😊 and absolutely! Let’s stop the reefer madness! I’m happy to see people starting to open there eyes to these beautiful plants in a more positive way 🌱👀 it’s great medicine for me 👌🏻

@Mrs_Larimar, yeah the other 2 were okay thankfully, I have harvested the other 2 now and I think I will add an additional fan for the lower part of the plant which wasn’t receiving the best air flow, I also did not use an extraction fan but will add one for future grows! 😁

@ItsLegalInMyHouse, good you noticed the moldering and harvested her. Maybe think about more airflow for the other girls

@Black_Magic,your right 😂

@Black_Magic, fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I will let you know how it goes 👌🏻

@ItsLegalInMyHouse,hope it will not change the flavor nice harvest mate

@Black_Magic, have only harvested them today and have not been cured yet, drying for 7 days and then 2 weeks cure 😊 they smell very much like lemon and citrus - will update on the taste and high after cure 😁

@OutForReal, thanks man, yeah I will see how it goes and will keep updating on her progress 😊👍🏻

@ItsLegalInMyHouse,From what I can see it is well done ! You defoliate to let the middle stems get more light so it will increase your canopy ! Your LST is good , every stems are well bended and the broken stem will heal in a week or 2 ! Some peoples are stessing their plants more than you and still get a pretty good result so I wouldn't worry if I were you ! I'll stay around & you can hit me anytime you'll need some help , I'll try to do my best ! 👍

@OutForRealbeanCarib, ha ha of course! I make my own laws in my house and weed is legal! I am my own government and my house is my own country hahaha 😂 also my other 2 girls are still growing, I will post final dry weight once the other 2 are harvested :D

@ItsLegalInMyHouse,lol yeah is hot man i had to invest a Aircon unit this year as my last photo strain was get really hard keep tent below 30 and i know i lost some tricome production .

@Fergie, yeah LED’s are definitely good replacements and HPS runs really hot so I can imagine how hot it would get for you 😂😂 I’d be sweating buckets haha your plants would be too 😅

@ItsLegalInMyHouse,yeah is defo going be crouded mate 😂😂i got a small tent same size a few month back and top planet 300w full spec and was perfect only issue i had was heat as so hot here i had put big tent as s stress my girl to hell.i was super impressed i order 2 more 300w veg light led pink and blue -and am going take veg ones out and replace HP's for flower as i cant really use moment just far too hot 😂

@Mrs_Larimar, that’s a good idea, thanks for the advice 👌🏻😊

@ItsLegalInMyHouse,After flushing i let my girls stand in a colder darkroom, but one day to long they started rotting , so for me 1 day darkroom is enough...^^and happy harvesting

@TheBudWhisperer, thanks for the kind words man! Really appreciate it! 😊

@Mrs_Larimar, haha yeah there not so dwarfy after all 😂 they smell so good too! 😤😍

@ItsLegalInMyHouse, MAAAn are you sure its the Dwarf=? big faat plants no "dwarf" genetics inside...maybe mother dwarf got a giant friend

@ItsLegalInMyHouse, she’s well on her way. Not to worry homey - ur good to the finish on this one for sure👍👊

@dandaru, holly molly how is that happening ? i thought this wouldn't be such an issue with LEDs !

@dandaru, I’ve never ha d a Powerful LED so your experience is good to know, maybe I can purchase LED - let it run in the tent on its own for a few hours and see what temp the tent hits :) if the temp is good then I can just stick to LED :)

Thats a good Plan but be careful LEDs will heat your Box too. Im using a Mars hydro reflector "420w" (real 187w) and 2 bulbs and ive trouble with too much heat (room temp 22°c and inside the Box 28-31°c

@MagicMikesMeds, thanks for providing me with some more food for thought in terms of what type of lighting to use, I think I will be heading down the LED route however because it’s a low budget grow I am looking to go with something a bit less power hungry such as 300W, do you reckon this and my 200W CFL will be sufficient enough for all 3 plants? I may be scrapping the CFL completely...

@MagicMikesMeds, agreed : i'm on HPS 600 right now for my first grow and the heat is riddiculous, as is running an AC full time, and so will my electricity bill be ! live and learn but if its summer get an LED for sure.

@ItsLegalInMyHouse, I saw your question about your lighting situation and personally I would look into a COB LED setup. I had a Kind 750 at first, but the footprint was not right for a 5x5 tent. I yielded 16.5 oz’s off of 6 plants. I immediately realized that the light was not right for my room so I upgraded to a true 900w “Fatty VS” from Timber Grow Lights and my next round I harvested 37.25 oz’s off of only 3 plants. The price of the LED’s is much higher, but I think the results speak for themselves as my energy costs are considerably less than using other types of 1000 watt lighting options as there is very minimal heat from the LED’s compared to other 1000 watt sources. I have friends that grow with HPS and the initial investment was significantly less, however, they are paying much more to operate as they need an AC unit to keep their room in an acceptable temperature range whereas I do not. If you can pony up the $ for a nice 1k LED, it will end up paying for itself relatively quickly... just my 2 cents...

@Larimar, haha yeah there not so dwarfy after all 😅

@ItsLegalInMyHouse, Help the Giant dwarfs are coming....nice ones

@RastaMouse,haha thanks man and I don’t know if you ever seen Rick and Morty but it’s a pickle rick pipe 😂

@Larimar, thank you! There looking better each day 😁

@ItsLegalInMyHouse, nice picture-üpdate. they are so gorgeous

@Larimar, yeah I’m really impressed with this strain, the bud sites are developing nicely and each have produced plenty of branches 😃 there growth rocketed from week 4 onwards! Learnt lots of great things from this plant, trial and error 😊 looking forward to harvest day!

@bobo420, thank you so much! This is just from 1 plant, my other 2 girls are still going strong 💪 I will post dry weight later today for this one 😁

@CRiSPrGrow, thank you! They have surprised me! 😂

@Mrs_Larimar,haha I know right 😂 I can’t complain though! The buds are looking really nice 😍

@UnkleSkunk, haha thanks! ;) she’s really beat my expectations, may not get the yield I wanted but there are some really nice dense nugs on her! Can’t wait to harvest her on Sunday! 👌🏻 I’m just twiddling my thumbs wondering what her dry weight will be, only time will tell 😂 got another 2 of these still growing, they look to be giving the same results as this one (if not better!) 😁

@UnkleSkunk, yeah this grow is going really well for me! I will keep an eye on the weight but I am impressed so far considering all 3 plants have been sharing a 300w LED and a small grow space! 😁 thanks for tuning in mate ✌️🏻😊

@Larimar,haha thanks man! To be honest these girls aren’t too big, my highest girl is actually 60cm (got measurement wrong on grow diary) and my shortest girl who has been topped and LST is 40cm 😊 they are definitely filling out the tent though! But I’m not complaining haha 😏

@dandaru,thank you :)

@BudStinkWeed, thank you!!! 😊
