First Run

Hey Thanks for the comments. To clarify on the light, it was included in a kit from Amazon - it was advertised at 600w but I think the actual power is 220w or something like that. I have a MarsHydro TS1000 (2022 Update) on order which I will probably change to once delivered. I'm still trying to get my head around all this..

good luck! My tent set up is the same as yours, so you should be in for a good grow! Great little light :)

Good luck with your grow mate!💪💪

Only the cotyledon leaves seem damaged! I wouldn't worry too much - it will be fine :D One thing is, perhaps, to raise the light by 5-10cm, as the curls are either from something with the pH or it being too moist at the roots or - more likely - the light is a little intense and the air humidity a bit low. It'll also help it to stretch out a bit, as the first growth is quite low (unless that's what you're going for) This lowness seems a trait from the ruderalis that makes the auto. Every plant is different - even within the same strain - same as every living thing. It won't hurt the other one you have going to raise the light a little! :D Good luck! Stay positive and the plant will pick up on this and also stay positive - they're very sensitive to these things..! :D

looking at your diary, Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1. This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. Good luck my friend!

hey there, hope i answered your question, anything else you need just let me know 👊

The best for the futur 💪🤛🌱

It looks like a very professional setup you have there, my dude! You're really going to town with the technical side of things, huh? I'm sure you have everything you need to cope with every eventuality, and that the crop you bring in will most definitely offset the cost of this startup after only these two here..! :D // woah..! 600w..! In my country, that would cost for 20hrs ... hmmm 20*60=12,000 so 12Kw/h for one cycle, [6*25=150]+[6*12=72]= 2.22 in USD = 3 a day..! So for 60 days, that's gonna cost 180 for the light to run..! The materials like soil and stuff, call that 30, the pots and tent, maybe 200, the seeds maybe 20 = 250 setup + 180 light running + 20 additional = 450 for 2 plants, so 225 each. In my country, that 225 is what only 1 oz of weed costs, thereabouts - so as long as you harvest 1 oz of bud from each plant - you are doing good! hahah :D Then everything after that is gravy! :D

Best of luck in your grow and what a beautifull dog you have 🙏💪

Looking good . Good luck with your grow. 🌱

Happy Growing, Buddy! 🌱🌱🌱

Harvest too early.

One of my fav strains! I’ve grown two plants in the same run Gelato#33. Best wishes bro

Hey bro. Nice grow. Just a tip. I just got sponsored by mars and have been checking out their lights They really work better when closer during pre flowering/flowering period as a higher ppfd makes for denser and better bud quality move to 30cm away. It's a bit late now for there to be a massive dif but if when you grow again grow at 30cm away during pre flower and you'll see a big dif in bud quality. Good luck.

Very nice 1st grow. Just a tip. Try dry your bud whole, it makes for more tasiter more defined terpine profile. Good luck

We have very similar grows, my first run too. Best of luck to you!
