My first grow -autoflower - indoor

I harvested halfway week 12. That's 76 days after putting the seed in a wet paper towel and 74 days after putting the seedling in soil. I cut away all leaves and branches, except for a few parts to hang them easier. That generated around 149 grams wet weight. Put all of them spread over 3 lines in the Mars Hydro tent with a fan in low setting aimed at the floor, and the carbon filter on the top, hoping this would generate some airflow, without blowing at the branches directly. I let them dry for 9 days and then removed some more parts of the branch that have no use. I kept the smaller sugar leaves since they had quite some trichomes on them as well. While harvesting, wearing plastic gloves helped me from getting my hands too sticky, smelly and dirty. I know because I forgot to do the same when going from drying to curing 😰 Overall I am very happy with the entire grow. It was easy, entertaining, and I learned a lot with a very easy plant in a decent but not too refined/high end setup. Main lessons learned for a next plant: -Fill the pot almost to the top -start LST sooner, getting tops at the same heigth/better light coverage -Less water, only when the soil is dry -Humidity evolves as the plant grows. -It will take a bit longer than the 9-10w advertised, but not a lot. One thing I noticed was a perception difference in weight Vs. volume. Of course I knew my 149 grams wet would end up somewhere around 30 grams dry. Eventually ending with 36 grams is the best possible outcome I would have hoped for. But putting it all on the scale, on sight, I would've expected this volume to be around 50 grams. The 9th and 10th picture of the 5 grams and 2.8 grams on the scale illustrates this. On sight I would guess this would be 8 and 4-5 grams but it's way less in reality. I'm not complaining, I guess drying, trimming, seed kind and other stuff affects the density. And maybe I should not compare my home grown plant to what I get from experienced growers. But it was something I wanted to point out for others who are just starting to grow. Now I will start the curing process. Hoping to file a good smoke report in a few weeks. I will probably grow a second plant, also with a Quick One seed, so very curious to see if it will perform similar. Thank you for reading my first journal. It was a lot of fun growing and writing about it. Growdiaries is a great place to document my growing project and it'll come to use later when comparing to newer grows. Also a big shoutout to everyone that has liked my posts and commented. Same for the people who were quick with advice when I needed it. I enjoyed sharing this and I hope this journal may be of use to others who are doing the same thing!
