This is my first time growing and its not going to bad.
To make sure the water drains and ventilation i poked some holes at the bottom and sides of the cup
I put the seed in compost in the cup and left the cup by the window.
Day 9 - Sooooo today i repoted the plant into its final pot of rest. It could have gone a little better. I cut the red cup of the plant and tried to place it in slowly but half of the soil broke off and fell in the pot, this worried me a little because there were roots all the way down to the bottom of the red cup.
I put it as well i could covered it all up and majority of the stem i let about 3 inches stick out and burried the rest. I also gave it some roots to help it grow since i accidentally hurt some roots.
Day 10 - Since this is my first grow my friends have been nice enough to give me some equipment a while i buy some along the way. So my friend gave me the light for it, but i had no way of hanging it so i had to prop it up on a silcon gun. It works thats the main thing!
Day14 - I ordered smart plug and a garden pole to hang the lights it got delivered today and i set that up nicely so it will be on a auto light cylce from today and i will change the timing as j go along.
Day 17 - I started to feed everything from the dutchpro chart which as someone on here pointed put may not have been a good thing to do since my soil already had nutrients.
Day 18 - The plant leaf looked like it curled backwards so i posted a question to find out what i was doing wrong. There could be a few different reason for it; but one i thought made a difference was the nutrients because the soil i got is high in nutriets for seedlings and after 1 week i started to add nutrients.
Day 19 - I been a little worried that my plant is not growing it, so i will be measuring it every 3 or so days.
Day 20 - The light that i had was a full spectrum led and now i changed it to a normal 60w led bulb i hope this helps the growth.
Day 21 - I Changed the lights back to the blue ones as it was advised better.
On day 18 of grow i noticed that my leaves are starting to bend backwards, im new to growing so im not sure if im doing somthing wrong. I belive all info is on my diary
Please let me know if im doing somthing wrong. Im also colour deficient so if you notice anything let me know.
doesn't look bad... if it continues to curl down could be a bit too much light -- use internode length to help confirm such things. (distance developing between growth nodes = internode). Over fertilization can cause clawing of leaves, but seedlings should be relatively flat as opposed to praying.
might be a bit hot with soil/fertiizer.. seeds don't need much for roughly 2 weeks. it can handle some unnecessary fertilization, but not excess amounts with such a small root system and limited foliage.
you are in soil and i see you are fertilizing after 1 week if not mistaken... i'd slow down a bit if that was the case. this is like riding a bike.. .you'll learn to ramp up concnentration of your feed as the plant matures and your soil is depleted of whatever nutes that came with it... you paid for it, so use it up before adding a bunch more through fertilization. seedlings don't need anything for 14 days or more.. can watch cotyledons for hints of paling to cue the start of your ramp up of fertilization.
every other irrigation? every third? doesn't matter too much... it wil impact the concentration you give, of course. the more ondemand it is, the more effective it will be, but sometimes convenience is a big part of the choice too.... regardless, you'll have to slowly give more as teh soil's nutrients are depleted.
always ensure entire pot gets wet... you don't need the 10-15% runoff a soilless grower wants, but you want "some" runoff to be sure there are no dry pockets. re-occurrring dry pockets have potential to cause buildup of salts... what dries up is left behind as a solid, which plant cannot use, but you add more water with more ferts in it, and the solids then dissolve increasing concentration in that area of substrate... rinse and repeat a few times and it can get unhealthy for a plant.
multiple factors constantly changing and relative to each other... its a fucking mess to figure out... the more systematic you are learning to start, the faster you progress on the curve.
I belive i had a full spectrum led light but i was informed that a normal house led bulb might be better suited for the plant right now. What should i do change it back or keep it on the 60w bulb?
Are you in uk ?
And your lights are both not good enough for grow your own im afraid
Yiu need at least 100w per plant and that's pull watts not led watts happy growing but you won't get any decent buds from them lights sorry for saying
Day 22 - There is a little small fee leaves coming from the middle of the plant itvis growing but slowly.
Day 23 - The middle sprout is really starting to push through. I will get 100w lights and i will also make a organic carbondioxid dispenser
Day 24 - There is no change
Day 25 - The plant size is still same size but the middle sprout is growing.
Day 26 - There isnt much change on the plant, but i have seen a yellow tinge again but i cant see it without taking a picture (no flash). I cants see anything with naked eye but im colourblind.
Day 27 - I changed the lights to an apparent 1200w led light it is considerably brighter and slighlty more heat. I hope this helps plant grow.
Day 28 - no change at all. But iv started to construct my room so i can monitor everything.
Day 29 - Still change.
Day 30 - same thing still iv nearly finished setting up the room for the grow.
Day 31 - Iv finished the room and now can monitor and manage more about environment.
Day 32 - There is more leaves and plant looks healthier. Lets hope its shoots up!
Day 33 - still growing
Day 34 - everyone keeps telling me to cut it down and start again.
Day 35 - im gonna flush the plant out and give it fresh nutrients.
Day 36 - the plant does look thicker but after 5 weeks not exactly what i was expecting but i think for first grow i didnt kill the plant yet so im happy.
Day 37 - looks thicker and wider but definitely not taller.
Day 38 - she is gettimg thicker for sure. There is not much height difference. And because the plant hasnt spread out the leaves are being squashed together.
Day 39 - I moved the plants around and i belive the plant likes it, it seemed to stand up a bit more or it could be just because im seeing from another angle.
Day 40 - So many days now and the height is really bothering me.
Day 41 - After a bunch of answers online about the light being to close, i decided to learn and raise the lights lets see what happens tomorrow.
Day 42 - So after raising the light the looks more spread out and looks like its fan out a bit more.
She had a hard first 2 weeks, it was not the optimal condition for anything. Is there anything i can do now to help the plant grow. I know it is going to flower soon and with current hight it is highly disappointing 😕 ,Ill be lucky if i get a bud.
@Double_AAs_Garden1 doesn't look too bad mate I'd raise the lights to prepare for the flowering stretch
one thing I see is that you have listed your soils ph being 6.8
now even tho your plants do look healthy 6.8 may be a little high during flowering
when plants stretch they need lots of available NPK plus cal and magnesium iron etc etc
those nutrients are more readily available at a ph of around 6.4-6.5 when growing in soil
just something for you to keep in mind
Day 43 - I have started LST as this plant i know won't grow much in height, im gonna use it to teach myself techniques/perfect a technique. I hope ive done a decent job of it. Excited to see what happens over next few days.
Day 44 - im very proud of my little plant. It looks so strong after the first day of LST. Definitely surprised with the results.
Day 45 - Plant seems to be adjusting just fine to LST i do keep checking it. There is a bit of leaves overcrowding to pne side. I will probably have to move if i can!
Day 46 - I'm thinking if i need to do more LST or just leave it now to grow.
Day 47 - the plant is really starting to woden out and stretch as well. I need to see when it will flower it looks like it might do soon.
Day 48 - The plant looks well. I believe she has started to flower so i really have to get my fan and filter asap.
Day 49 - She defo started flowing and i just bent ome stem to allow more space between each other ;But they looks really good. Also entering another competition can't win if you don't partake.
I know it's best to start doing this a lot sooner but since its my first grow i wanted to keep it simple but it wasnt growing so i decided to do this to help. Should i look out for anything over the next few days and is there anything i could of done better or different.
I like the way it looks, LST is fun and easy way to play aorund with the plant.
Here are some fun reads about LST and HST and how to.
growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plantsgrowdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-high-stress-training-hst-on-cannabis
I really like LST on autos and HST on photoperiods. most of the weed I grew this year I left au naturel not training but in doors when I grow out a big plant HST/LST is key.
Keep up the good work its looking great for your first attempt!
Happy Growing!

Day 50 - New week and the plant looks great.I have been thinking about cutting off stems and leaves to help the growth will check with community later.
Day 51 - The plant was watered today and i also defoliated the plant ( i think thats how you say it) so it can grow stronger and get bigger buds.
Day 52 - I tied the plant down again in a different position just to spread it out so everyone gets equal opportunity lighting. I checked the amount of water the plant uses and she is nearly dry again so tomorrow i have to water her again with bloom chemicals.
Day 53 - She looks fine today
Day 54 - The plant doesn't look well i don't know why, I've given it bloom nutrients today and i
hope it helps her to look better tomorrow.
Day 55 - The plant looks better today and she is drinking a lot of water as she seems a little dry.
Day 56 - The plant looks fine for now.
Day 57 - The plant looks great, healthy! The buds are looks great also.
Day 58 - The plant is looking great i just watered her today looks like she might have a bit of water shock. I gave the plant some PH controlled water but i didn't take into account the soil so the whole thing didn't make a difference.
Day 59 - The plant looks amazing. Defoliated her a little more today.I'm noticing the smell more prominently now as well; Also we done some seriouse decore change today so the whole place looks like a bud box we got the other plants from my diaries featuring in a the video.
Day 60 - She is well and growing.
Day 61 - Was to busy running around didnt take a pic its a shame but its okay.
Day 62 - The buds are forming nicely plant is stretching out for the last time. The plant is also dry and will need watering tomorrow. I raised the light today as she is very tall now and was nearly touching the light.
Day 63 - The plant got fed PH 5 water, so she looks a bit droopy from water shock but; she will spring back to life like she normally does. Looks like the plant is doing well though.
Day 64 - The plant looks great! She will need watering tomorrow.
Day 65 - Watered the plants with nutrients today the PH was at 6. The plant is very near harvest i don't wanna mest it up now.
Day 66 - The plant is great. I did take 1 stem off as it was very small, to be honest i should have chopped it off allot earlier, wasted nutrients.
Day 67 - We gave the plant PH 5.8 water, she looks great everyday. She also had a great growth so i raised the light just a touch.
Day 68 - The baby looks great. The buds are getting thicker.
Day 69 - Watered her again today just Ph 6 water, she nearly drank a whole litre before i saw any overflow. Buds are looking nice and healthy as well day by day.
Day 70 - The bud looks amazing i did move the lights closer and the plant loves it. I made the change today before lights turned on so notice difference. I love the growth its amazing.
Day 71 - I watered her with nutrients, PH was at 5.3. Plant looks very healthy. I think i need to get some stucks to support stem.
Day 72 - Checked in the morning properly, the plants looks fine checked for hermies couldn't see anything.
Day 73 - I checked her today again nothing that can ruin the whole crop. She was watered with nutrients today at PH 5.9. I got new lights today spider farmer sf2000, this looks amazing inside there. We have also done a bit of light Defoliating so the buds have more nutrients.
Day 74 - The plant is fine but the temperature is very high after getting new lights its on 34°c I've order a new fan so i can have inlet and outlet to try cool it down.
Day 75 - The plant looks a bit sore thats because i should have watered her earlier. I've given the plant 5.5PH water with nutrients.
Day 76 - So once again i didn't take a picture today. I was very busy and didn't have time. I checked the plants as soon as i woke up and they looked well and healthy.
Day 77 - Plants looks well would like it o look like its gonna give me a half decent yield but i don't know let's see how it goes. I also watered her today with nutrients and the water Ph was at 5.5.
Day 78 - The plants okay but not much weight gain going. I have also installed a inlet fan but which can't seem to keep the room cool, but i will keep tweaking it to see if it can work properly.
Day 79 - The plant has been watered with nutrients at 5.6 today is first day with bud candy and ron flower enhancer. The plant looks okay but i have seen a little curling on the top leaves of the plant, this is most likely because of heat or because I'm putting to much nutrients so I'm gonna keep an eye on it. I have raised the plant because of the possible heat stress, i haven't raised it by much but still have raised it.
Day 80 - The plant looks okay. The colour on the leaf looks like its getting better. I dont know if this is how it's ment to look but this looks a bit anorexic.
Day 81 - I watered her today at 5.8Ph with nutrients, i didn't put any Rox i will do that towards the end without putting to much, I'm also still including bud candy. The plant looks great better thicker by the looks of it.
Day 82 - The plant looks great the humidity is an issue but i will soon sort that out soon.
Day 83 - Watered the plant today ( she drank 2 full liters) which is amazing, with nutrients at 5.95PH. I also went ahead and bought a mini humidifier which auto shuts off at set humidity level.
Day 84 - Everything looks great. The buds are starting to put on weight or at least it looks like they are. I have been having trouble with the humidifier i bought, it keeps leaking from the bottom when tank is about half way down.
Day 85 - Looks great i checked if it needs water but it is pretty wet still so will check again tomorrow.
Day 86 - So i forgot to take pictures again today. I watered the plants and said when i come later to check it i will take pictures; but guess what i did, i forgot. I gave the plant nutrients at around 5.8Ph.
Day 87 - Not much change today plant looks great.
Day 88 - So i have checked her out properly, i took a bud of and cut the calyx i think there was seed inside but again not got experience enough to tell. I watered her today i gave her 2 liters and she drank it all will feed her 2 liters again and see how it goes. She was watered with nutrients at 6Ph.
Day 89 - The plant is coming along well. I need to buy a water filter for my humidifier.
Day 90 - She looks thicker not sure about how true this is. I water the plant with nutrients at 5.8Ph. She drank 2 liters next time I'm going to give her 3 liters.
Day 91 - I thought i took the pictures but i actually forgot again. Plants look fine.
Day 92 - Had a look today she looks normal.
Day 93 - She looks fine buds are definitely getting heavier because the stems are bending. I watered the plants with nutrients at 5.8PH. I also added PGR in there as well so let's see how the plant reacts.
Day 94 - The plant looks great i feel like the bud got bigger but I'm not too sure.
Day 95 - Everything looks good.
Day 96 - The plant looks fine still not sure how long.
Day 97 - I didn't take a picture again but the plants are healthy and okay. I watered the plant today with nutrients and PGR again. I also defoliated the plant took some bad leaves and a few buds i didn't thought wasn't worth it .
Day 98 - she looks great.
Day 99 - I watered the plant today with nutrients and PGR again today is last day so let's hope it was enough.
Day 100 - The plant has come along very well. Was not expecting it to turn out so big.
@ernest_twwg@DutchDoobie@Growladyeastmidlands@GrowingGrannie@m0use
Just wanted to say thank you to you all, you guys are always first to answer my questions with useful information and have helped alot to get it right basically.
Just defoliated the plant now and i hope ive done it as you all said
Practically spoon fed me 🤣 everything.
Hopefully the plant will be ready to satisfaction soon 🤞🏽 for you all to see.
Thanks everyone 🙏
@TeesTrees, the most important part about growing is to have fun! As long as your plants make you happy, be it growing them, harvesting, or smoking, nothing else matters.
Keep on growing, bruv!
@RomeoAlphaWhiskey, i have been wanting too but dont have the heart to since its first, wanna see what happens. To be honest i think i just got a sad seed.
Hi happy growing and I have sent you a inbox message get in touch if you want to ask anything else I feel that you have slow growing due to the light purple leds are no good and definitely useless for flowering take care and more info on the dairy on setup can help people see the environment to be able to answer questions easier for you
Nothing much you can do im afraid autos when stunted in beginning don't get massive and they flower when they want to so they never yeald great im afraid
