First grow! (autos)

lowkey216 I believe things are going well so far!

lowkey216 Still looking good I believe! I realized I was counting the days incorrectly. I was counting from the day I planted the seed instead of the day the plant sprouted and/or showed its true leaves.

lowkey216 Week 3 went well. In hindsight, I wish I would have been a bit more aggressive with LST.

lowkey216 End of week 4 and it was a rough one... I overfed on 9/11. I then let them dry out a bit too much on 9/14. Willow has recovered the best but Buffy definitely took a hit. Live and learn. Last wattering was PH'd water only. I may do this for the first water of week 5 as well. Removed a couple lower leaves from Willow and 5-7 from Buffy.

lowkey216 I added a small video of the garden and will update this week further near day 35. 9/20 // The ladies rebounded nicely from the 9/11 overfeeding. Fed and watered them today. Willow at 1/4 nutes and Buffy at 1/8 nutes. 9/22 // Feeling good at the end of week 5. The ladies have responded well to the light feeding on 9/20, and I have started adding Big Bud to the mix.

lowkey216 Plants are looking good. I am hoping to make it through the home stretch without effing it up. I've moved back to feeding every other watering. (one a week)

lowkey216 And here we go... home stretch. Looking pretty good at the end of week 7. Buffy is showing hues of pink/purple. I'm guessing they are going to finish at different times, and am stressing out about the drying process. I was planning on using the tent that I am growing in for the dry but may need to rethink that.

lowkey216 10/8 - Gave Willow her last feeding. Flushing from here on out. 10/9 - began flushing Buffy. It is looking like Willow will go for at least a week longer than Buffy. I am scrambling to figure out an alternative drying space/option. 10/11 - began flushing Willow 10/13 - I am guessing Buffy will be harvested in the next couple days. Willow looks to need another 7-10 days.

lowkey216 I am so close to harvest, but days later and my estimate remains 7-10 days for Willow and 3(ish) days for Buffy. I am checking the trichomes on Buffy daily, but am not seeing amber yet. 10/14 - Gave the ladies a trim. 10/15 - Both plants were again flushed with PH'd water.

lowkey216 I made it! Yay! Now hopefully I won't screw them up during the drying/curing process. I am pretty happy with the results my first grow, and learned a ton. I am really looking forward to improving and dialing in my grows. The wet weight I listed is an estimate. I will follow up once the dry is complete with a final dry weight. Lessons learned: All plants are different even if they are the same strain/breeder. I need to monitor them individually and not as a whole. Do not get greedy and over feed. The plants can take the LST and defoliation like champs. Be more aggressive w/ this approach. 10/23 - The plants have been drying for 2 days. Current dry room conditions are 66 degrees Fahrenheit, with a relative humidity of 59%.
