First-time grower here. I'm attempting to grow with minimal materials, without using a a grow box, inside my bathroom. The bathroom lacks a window, ensuring it remains 100% dark without lights, and it has a fan/ventilation system running 24/7. I've improvised a makeshift tent using a cardboard box. Eventually, I plan to remove the pot from the tent, leaving it in the bathroom by itself. My strategy involves maintaining a 12/12 light cycle as soon as the plant enters the vegetation mode. The goal is to have a small plant and harvest it as quickly as possible. I understand this may not be the most efficient use of resources, but I need to complete the harvest before the end of March, and a larger plant is not feasible. My soil is BioBizz - Dutch Origins - All Mix - World Wide Organics Fertiliser: Biotabs Organic Slow-Release (2 tablets) Day 1 - 09/01 - Germination on paper Day 3 - 11/01 - Transplanted seed to pot Started Light cycle 18/24 Watering 50 - 100ml per day Day 5 - 13/01 - Sprout Day 9 - 17/11 - Plant is 10 cm tall, but very thin Day 10 - 18/11 - I relocated the light from a 60cm distance to a 40cm distance from the plant. Despite no increase in height, the plant began developing a new set of leaves. I suspect that the previous lighting arrangement may not have been best for the plant's growth.

You should look at the breeder information on the flower time. If it says 65 days feel free to chop around that day. If you have a jewlers loop or micro scope if the tricombs are white with few amber that's when it's ready to harvest. But generally most indica's finish between 8 and 9 weeks. Don't forget to stop feeding 2 weeks prior to chop. If you are using bottled nutrients you'll want to do this. But if organic then there is no need. Good luck.

Hey there, You can checkout this info at the breeders website or even here on growdiaries when you klik on your strain in your diary For your ladies they recommend 60-65 day’s of flowering Now I count from the day I see my first buds,not from the flip to 12/12 Mostly this means around 14 day’s extra so let’s say around 74-79 days till harvest from flip so you still got 5-6 weeks to go at the minimum Hope this was helpful Happy growing 🌱✌️

Good start bro. The best way yo understand is look at trichomes, but you need a lens for that. At the end most of them shoulb looks milky.
