1st time grower... I've got a 120x120x200 grow tent, I have a 250w MH on my plants right now and a 600w HPS sitting there for later in the grow.... I have 7 seeds growing, 1 auto flower and 6 normal female plants, the reason for the high amount of plants, ((my 1st set of seeds I planed to grow "heavyweight - 2 fast 2 vast)) didn't sprout and died... so I planted all the seeds I had left into another attempt at a grow and they all made it!... (yeah am punching above my weight but hey 7 is better than none)
I'm mainly making this so I can keep track of my plant's my self and hopefully get advice and tips from people that have grown before or from 1st time growers like my self so that we can help each other out, and hopefully I succeed in making it to the end with a good yield and a good smoke๐ Fingers crossed....
Oh, I'm still waiting on my carbon filter ect... So yeah any advice is appreciated.
@WhiteWidow, I'm hoping to cure for around 14 days, and cure as I'm smoking as well , took some tips from above and got a humidity pack in there for some extra help, had a little j last night and she was a lovely smoke, not had the giggles in a long time lol! She's into cure now had her final trim, stems removed and weigh in, now she's off to cure! Yeah I'm hoping to take what I've done in this grow learn from it, better from it so next time will be even better :)
@JieGrow, well lets not make any conclusion. how long do you plan to cure it? i would smoke one piece now, in 5 days and in 10. just to be sure for the next time that you did a good job and you can spot the difference
@WhiteWidow, thanks, my tent and my drying method wasn't the best (plus this strain apparently drys fast) so after 3 days drying it's onto cure, as I feel any longer on the rack it will be to dry =( hope it's not affected it...
@DabCrab, bro I only got 337 gram under a 600w ๐ฎ I have 4 super skunk by sensi seeds that have just popped was ment to be 6 bit 2 haven't made it yet but it's only been 2 days ๐ there under a 250w HPS just now in 16 days time ill swap to the 600w HPS... I'm also getting another tent with in the next week or 2 so should have 2 grows running at the same time ๐
Nice bro a lot of weed! I have a similar rack to dry tough I figure it was better to hang the hole plant upside down pre trimmed for a slower dry, makes the smoke better to begin the curing process, after 3-5 days I put on a paper bag to finish and then jar with humidity pack(prefere the 55%)... cheers and congrats for the results! ๐๐ป
@CANNASIM, yeah I was coming and going with to either hang them or rack them , last time I racked them the buds took around 7 days to dry , so decided to try it again and for the next grow we will try the hanging the hole plant up , just to see the end result both ways and try and figure what would be best , I'll Defoe look into the humidity packs and try that for the cure , got a bit inpatient and quick dried a lower bud last night and it was some good weed haha, so dying to see the end result !
Thanks for the advice mate it's well appreciated
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, yeah I worked out what a third of it would been and trying to rough guess but no point until it's dry lol! Yeah I'm going to look into it and see what to do from there for the best result !
Very nice first grow +50gr/plant. But Dude, I know it's offtopic
but do I see dick picks on the lower-right side of the first picture.
The smartphone capture picture. Not Cool Man !
@goarilla, shit dude.... deleted and I apologise for that. Lesson learned for everyone.... don't let your girlfriend upload photos on your diary.... away to hide myself in my tent , if you don't laugh you'll cry.
Wow, we call it a big success to have such buds with so few odds for her to grow properly under the conditions you explain! Thanks for putting her under hard conditions so we can see how she still performs nicely! Gorilla Glue is a beast bro, congrats! Enjoy her! Thanks for sharing this diary!
@FAST_BUDS, thanks for the comment!
She done amazing through all my cock ups, I'm looking forward to growing her again this time with some new knowledge and hopefully I can see her at her full potiential, even though I thought she was amazing the now I can only imagine what she will be like! Thank you for providing such a great strain I look forward to trying more if your strains!
Excellent work for your first grow! I had some issues my first time too but you know what? You never forget those lessons! Good luck on your next grow man you will kill it.
@Grimbol, thanks bro ๐๐๐ผ I can't wait for my next grow I've still got 5 more plants from this grow so hopefully I can learn a little more before round 2 ๐๐
@54lvlO, Thanks ๐ this is mine and my partners 1st grow, we're absolutely hooked on growing now and recently planted 6 super skunk but only 4 have made it... We've still got alot to learn but
@AlaskanGrownCaliRaised, thanks bro , quiet chuffed with being a first grower and getting the result we where looking for , dying to see how she tastes!
@JieGrow, hehe that's true More light does a good job but in the other hand TaNg is a mith, grows with two 75w led and man, check his plants, Just insane!
@CANNASIM, I'm not fust but she is... finally someone that dose tap lol, yeah a see these people pulling 10oz of autos and then I check peoples grows with 1000w lights yeilding like 45 grams ๐๐๐๐ if a get less than a oz per plant this grow then I'm giving up lol
@JieGrow, Your call bro, some grower prefer PH ed, i go for tap. Hehe good to have an assistant! Agree, now is a hole science, with the info available there are some growers pulling a lot from a few plants! ๐
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, its ok I didn't trim gorilla glue auto because even the buds that are hidden from light are packing on good!... i trimmed the 5 critical kush plants as they where getting to bushy ๐ฑ I'm hoping this trim also helps with humidity.... today the temp was at 32 and humidity 54?... so I've opened one of the top big vents and also tryed to water with just the right amount of water to see if the conditions inside the tent improve..... just give me a couple years and maybe I'll be masters grower on hear ๐ Stoner dreams lol
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, lmao ๐ Serious daft question hear, Ano your not ment to trim autos, but my gorilla glue has some major big fan leafs covering the full plant and I'm sure he's only got a week maybe 2 to go should I trim him a bit?.... so you think it would help
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I can see what you mean looking at the photos , then I look at them in person and it looks completely different, the leaves seem to change every time I look at them and not sure what to look for , but the leaves don't look like this now lol.. with the MG deficiency how would I correct this? The light is also higher than what it is in these photos , i brought it up a few cm's yesterday , thanks bro!
Yeah the leaves started cupping about 2 weeks ago? , we went to our hydroponics guy and got some different Nutes and the problem had sorted itself out , no purple colours appearing on any of the plants however OG (smallest plant) had a lot of purple colours coming through some of stems , mostly at the bottom branches of the plant and his leaves looked like they where dying.. I didn't know what to do so basically super cropped him and the nutes have changed this and everything looks normal to the eye in person, he has came along great now and looks decent! He was the only plant to have purple stems , baring in mind he is a good 10cm plus smaller than the majority of the plants , I've got the light at 21cm away from the highest plant , this be alright? One of the plants are 10cm bigger than the others , I'm going to get better photos on Sunday when I'm updating the diary for the week, in person the leaves don't look like they are cupping :)
@JieGrow,on pictures 4 and 7 you can see the light intensity .
On picture 11 leaves are cupping, it's beginning of Mg deficiency due to too much light , check out the petiole (where the stem join the leave) if it start to get purpling on top of the stem (but not under).
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, ๐ Yeah ano you said bro am just saying that's my kinda luck lol to get low yeild lol..
๐ฑ That's a good way to explain it? Hmm.... I might try a lot of plants with a short veg next time,
@JieGrow,I already told you Yield is based on light , not plants counts bro
You can short Veg an army of small plants to fill up light coverage
or
you can Veg a few weeks longer less amounts of plants to fill up the same coverage
or
you can Veg just 4 plants for 15 weeks (starting from seeds) to fill up the coverage
Less plants means less work = longer Veg
More plants means more work = shorter Veg
At 30C you should be at 80% humidity
Or you should be at 26C maximum with 70% humidity
It is better to leave them alone and do not disturb them during night time !
Otherwise you're gonna "flash" them ...
You should put the "automatic" in a big pot , it is recommended to not to transplant "automatic" during his life
You shall do a Sea Of Green (SOG) with this amount off plants in that box
@JieGrow,It is probably Nutrients burns , if I understand well you are feeding your plants every 2-3 days ? You shouldn't trust in nutrients manufacturers, they just want you to use has more has possible ! You should fallow a Feed Water Water Water Feed Water Water Water Feed .... cycle, you'll see by yourself you'll be saving money on Nutrients !
If it's the Autoflowering whose got burns you should flush it has soon has possible, plants needs a lot of time to recovery from nutrients burns and use all nutrients in the media ... Autoflowering has a countdown cycle , try to keep in mind that you doesn't start at day 1 with Autoflowering but you start a countdown at DayWhatever depending on what Strain you are growing !
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, hey bud! I've been giving them 5ml of nutes per gallon of water , every 2-3 days if the top of soil looks dry inbetween just giving it a slight spray, been following the back of the bottle Instructions lol.. today noticed the end of one of my plants leaves going yellow? I'll upload photos to follow this comment if you could give me any info or anything regarding it? All the rest are cool except this one.. cheers bud!
@JieGrow,next step , not to kill your plants with the Nutrients :
Check YouTube link :
www.youtube.com/playlist
You'll learn how to use Nutrients weeks by weeks
The dark period before harvest is myth , you can buried a placenta under a full moon , it will be the same ๐
No one is smarter than Mother Nature ๐
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, well I got 54 gram off hur and she was under 12/12 most of hur life so I think that's amazing ๐ Just the smoke it takes a lot like some times a smoke bud from hur and don't even get a high ๐ญ "Ano that this is probably down to me and the way I grow hur with photos" but fuck me I've had people tell me it's worse than the worse weed they've ever smoked lol x
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, sorry for the shit updates and replays bro been really busy... I've just got a drying net decided to go with that... Update will be tonight at some point bro xx
Hey! Nice crop! I just bought the samr dehumidifier. Does it work well on you tent? You keep it on 24/7?? At night my UR hits 99% without dehumidifier and im at the mid of flower. Really afraid of mold.
@Uhuru, tbh because I've removed to plants weeks apart, and I've changed the amount of water I couldn't honestly tell... But when I've had t in and everything been normal for a week or more I can't say it made a difference I've only left it in running 24/7 because I'm scared to take it out ๐๐ sorry I can't be much help, I'm still trying get the hang of growing my self sorry bro x
@Bones, on a serious note a want 4/5 oz ๐ But realistically Ano 2 is probs the most I'll get...
I'm going to buy another 120x120x200 tent and for my next grow I'm going to grow 14 gorilla glue autos "7 in one tent and 7 in the other" ๐
They still have a couple more weeks to go and they keep filling up the space to where I need to trim them slightly, having a tiny problem fittting them all in ๐
@JieGrow, I def think youll hit it. What I've noticed is that I get larger yields when I use fewer plants in the same space, so long as I grow to fill the space.
Last grow I did 8 and this grow I'm doing 6 and then buds are much denser I think I'll get around 40-50% more, I am using clones though so they are all the same size.
It seems filling the light footprint is the target weather you sog or scrog
