Quick One First Grow

Harvest. End of week 11. Reporting on the night of the Winter Solstice. All the best for the coming year! Fritz Says "Ah the beauty of canaabis", Yuletide greetings to you all. Ended up with a fair bit of bud that will keep me and some friends happy all through the bleak midwinter. Would have waited a week more but I had the landlords people coming into the apartment checking the heating, so had to stop. Harvest was quite aromatic, :-), I had a fan going in the room and was burning toast in the rest of the flat in case any neighbors came to the door. I had some nice ambient music going and was munching on some fan leaves just to keep me sweet and cool. 131, 156, 220g wet from each of the plants respectively, plus a mound of trimming and popcorn for making bubble hash. Drying took about six days, Hanging in the grow tent in the dark with only the carbon filter/extractor, and passive intake. I had plastic coat hangers and pegs off garden wire. Dry weight a lot less because I removed virtually all the stems. 30, 42, 47g . Although more than I deserve considering the mistakes made. Now I've had about 10 days cure. Burping 1 or 2 times a day. In Ikea glass jars with boveda 62% sachets, I'll be just in time for Christmas, Ho Ho Ho. A few test vapes have shown that this is a strong heady high with a nice flavour although not too intense. Good Yule everybody. Looking forward to starting another grow in the spring. Thanks for all the help and moral support from Growdiaries members which made all the difference. Especially here where I'm stealth growing. Really. Thank You. My tips for newbies... >It costs more than you expect. From water and power to wire, bungees and all the rest it all adds up. Time. >You need (!) a pH pen and a ppm pen. Get the water right! >Don't use ordinary plastic pots, it makes recovery from flushing too slow and humid. Use cloth or "Airopots". Humidity control can be a problem in small tents. >Even if the strain is described as low smell you will need a carbon filter during flowering if you are running a stealth grow. >Air movement and quality is important. >nutrients are not as critical as you fear. Water and air quality is more important than you realize. >Get all the light you can >I made errors resulting in delays, 2-3 weeks longer than the seedbank said it would take. Try to keep that in your calculations. I ran out of time through my own mistakes/unrealistic expectations. >I still ended up with a heap of organic cannabis better than any street stuff where I am and I know what's in it. Win! >If I can do it, so can you. Stay chilled and enjoy the ride. >Campaign for legalization. If you haven't won that battle already. I'm going to. >I love you, send me a message. I'll do an update for my bubble hash.
