In 7 days I got a totally different plant. Almost double in size, 2-3 times as much leaves, wonderful to see. But there are a few issues which I consider lessons learned for my next grow. -I noticed the bigger leaves started to show some curl (3rd photo). Not in a terrible way but I assume this is because I overwatered in the days before. Stopped watering for 2 days and no significant improvement, but not worse either. -Since we're in week 4 and the plant is over 15cm I wanted to try LST. Experienced growers will probably laugh at this but I quickly realized my pot isn't easy to poke a hole in, and because I didn't fill it up entirely with soil, the plant is still largely within the pot, making it hard to bend by tying it to one of the sides of the tent. Long story short: I did it, the plant bends a bit sideways now, but probably not as well as it should be. Lessons learned: fill up your pot high enough and think ahead about this. What did strike me was that the humidity has gotten slightly higher now that the plant is bigger. It was around 35% at the start, 40 when I put some water in the tent and now it's mostly around 50-54%. Unrelated to the growing process, but maybe interesting for some: I had to move my tent for a day. Someone who doesn't need to know about my little project was coming over and needed to be in the grow room. Luckily I realized this in time so I moved the entire installation to my bedroom on a different floor. Nothing too hard, but getting a 70cm wide tent up the stairs, even largely empty, is not something you wanna do every week. Because it was in the bedroom I turned off the carbon filter at night, resulting in a humidity level that went up to 80%. I did know that the filter would take some of the humidity out, but I didn't expect it to rise that hard. This was while I stopped watering for 2 days because of the curled leaves. Near the end of week 4 you could clearly smell the plant in the tent, but not as a typical weed smell, more like 'there's a (regular) plant growing in here'. Outside of the tent there's no smell at all at this time (with a carbon filter on 24/7, but only at 20% speed to have some airflow) My main concert for now is growth & density. Quick One is advertised as a plant that grows in 8-9 weeks and gets up to 100cm so I expert it to start flowering in 2 weeks. But currently its somewhere around 20cm in size. Similar diaries on here show taller plants. On the other side there are plenty of leaves popping up, which is nice but they also overlap a lot, so a taller plant might be bettter to give the leaves more room. This is just my own reasoning, feel free to let me know if I'm seeing this wrong. Happy to learn and happy to hear what other growers think of this first attempt!

Grow Questions

Katsunystarted grow question 2 years ago
Should I worry about the length of the plant at this time? I'm now halfway week 5 and it's about 25cm, but it's hard to believe this will still double in size in the next 2 weeks, assuming lenght growth will stop or slow once flowering starts.
Solved
Plant. Too short

First of all, if you're expecting to get a harvest in a month, you're going to be disappointed ... the plant would need to be in full flower right now to expect a harvest inside of four weeks. Second, don't believe the hype generated by seed sellers as to the time it takes to get a harvest - they want to sell seeds and advertising a fast harvest only serves that purpose.... most will tell you that their estimates are the BEST you can expect but that generally you'll need to be growing quite a bit longer. That being said, you've got a good looking plant here. I'm surprised she's not drinking more but she doesn't look like that's an issue... Once she goes into flower, she will start to stretch and she'll get a lot taller. Height is not an issue - I've grown plants that only got to be 21" and others that got close to 5-feet.. different strains, different conditions - it all makes a difference but genetics plays the biggest part here. Your lights seem to be much too far away - bring them down... no further away than 24" ... when she goes into flower, you're going to want them to sit about 18" above the canopy.... Good luck...

@GrowWithFlow, Thanks, I'm really curious how much yield I'll get out of this plant. Planning to harvest later this week and hopefully smoke it in a few weeks after drying and curing.

Hi when you say decent yeald next month do you mean your planning to flower ot next month ie 4 more weeks on veg ? As your Flowering time is probably 10 weeks and then 2 weeks stretch as well so your not going to have anything to yead intill Ruffly end April beginning on may buy if you want big yealds the veg time is a big factor on the yeald same as the environment but happy growing and good luck

@Katsuny, you do know that the Flowering time is just the Flowering time alone and not start to finish yes? If they been Flowering about 2 weeks then you will have about 7/8 weeks left to go yet they don't mean 10weeks from seeds to harvest happy growing

@Katsuny, you do know that the Flowering time is just the weeks to flower not that the whole thing is 10 weeks total yes ? 10weeks alone so around 8/9weeks to go the veg time has been quite quick but the grow time is always 8/12 weeks just to flower them and harvest is not brilliant for autos but goof luck

@Growladyeastmidlands,Thanks! Honestly I don't have a solid planning here. The seeds are advertised as 6 weeks to flowering and 9-10 weeks to harvest. I'm now near the end of week 6 and flowering has started. I'm keeping in mind this might take more then advertised, but since it's an autoflower I don't expect it to last it too much longer.

I'm super excited to see how my quick ones turn out after seeing your diary, great job mate! Saw you mentioned issues with the timer, I had similar problems with my mechanical timer. Bought a four pack of Tapo WiFi plugs from Amazon, smart plugs are well worth the investment for us indoor growers 😉 Good luck with your next grows!

@NoobBeNoobin, Yeah, it's definetly an issue, but I suspect it's never more than a few minutes and it hasn't affected the growth much. But if I ever do a non-autoflower I will try a different timer to avoid confusing the plant.

Thanks for the detailed report. I am shortly before harvesting and your report is helping me a lot.
