FoxyLoxy I have 2 strains, 2 seeds a piece for this grow. I have the GG#4 from Expert Seeds, 2 Black Sugar seeds from Seedsman, all 4 have germinated, paper towel method, although I'm surprised how slow they took to pop. Any ideas why? Took about 3 days which forever in a sealed sandwich bag it takes maybe a full 24 hours. Anyway, not much going on here, I used peat pellets, they only today sprouted somewhat and shed the shells, well all but one did anyway. I'll make sure to post pictures as the weed progresses. I have two separate lights here, both LED, I have a 135w HLG Quantum Board, and a 1000w KIng Plus (although its certainly not giving off 1000 watts). I have some surrounding 100w CFLS that I was using prior to getting the Quantum Board, from time to time I'll use some of them if it appears the plants isn't being totally engulfed in lighting, but they do a pretty good job together, I do need to install the lights better though I have the king propped up on the side of the plants with the QB above. I have one other grow happening right now, but other than this I've never harvested before. This is going to be my second grow started, first official grow from strain banks. I did previously try to do a grow from a strain bank before, but all 5 died immediately after germinating. For this grow I'm using Fox Farm Ocean soil, although I'm using FF trio nutes for the other grow for this one I'll be using Advanced Nutrients, I got a sample pack that includes quite a few nutrients that I'll include in the weeks to come when I start them. Happy growing!!!

FoxyLoxy what..the..hell. what happened? i dont understand why this happened like this. it clearly was the gg#4 because it auto'd, again before i knew it since its my first run and with autos at that. so for a bit i didnt realize but im just totally at a loss. it smells great, actually losing a bit of its stickiness and smell. when should this harvest? why did this happen? i have so many questions im hoping someones had a similar experience. i think it also looks deficient although ive been told it looks very healthy. when should i clip it?

i honestly dont think this was because of the breeder or strain even though it was autoflower, this was purely me, id be more than glad to try this out again when im more experienced.

FoxyLoxy this went basically as bad as i couldve expected for a first harvest. i didnt flush, it obviously is very harsh, but actually not as bad as i expected. to yield a gram though, i mean i had some serious issues and inexperience. but i hope to try again with expert seeds down the line
