Oh what a week! But I am not giving up! I don't believe in abandoning the grow...just keep trying until I get it right. There's always positives and negatives, but wow did i make a catastrophic mistake this week. Maybe 8 hours after my last update I basically burned the hell out of one of my plants and slightly on the tips of the other plant. I thought they might be at a bit too low of a temp so I set a small space heater in their room and apparently it was blowing much to close and much too hot. I'm fortunate that I didn't kill both....just one. I gave her some recovery time to see if she could heal but the damage got worse by the hours. The surviving plant is going well though and I transplanted her into a 1 gallon Smart Pot last night with a teaspoon of mycorrhizal fungi granules. I am hopeful she will succeed. I also germinated 2 more seeds and they let out their tap root within about 36 hours. They've been planted into small cups of Fox Farms Happy Frog soil. They sprouted within about 48 more hours and they're now about 1.5 inches tall and doing great! Yay! I'll have to take good care of them because I'm getting very tired of dying plants around the house. It really is true that when you're doing well your garden usually reflects that. If you're in a hurry, impatient, sick, or just too busy....the garden will also reflect that and suffer. Happy January everyone much love.✌️

Hey everyone.... So i sort of snapped a main stem, The Main Stem. Yikes it was awful. Any tips on attempting to piece plant parts back together? Miracle juices or anything like aloe vera? Any advice helps thank you all.

When it happens to me I support the stem with a stick and if it's not enough I use tape to keep the stem straight during recovery. If the stem is really almost broken then use both tape and sticks or cut it once and for all to make An auto clone but it is more funny than useful. Concerning what you can give to her I think aloe Vera can be a good stuff as it contain a lot of trace elements and even more , I use it on my skin injury to recover faster so maybe it works the same on ganja πŸ€”

This is my first indoor grow, is there anything different i should be doing at harvest, other than just chopping it down like with outdoor? What's with the putting plants in the dark for 24+ hours before chopping?

I should really change the title of this grow to the cursed grow, or the disastrous auto flower experiment, or just don't be an idiot grow.😊

@zack1, so true, i was cursing the fact that its an auto and wouldn't just grow more foliage. Lol

@Experimentgreen, it's not that difficult. like you said, you waited to long to tie her down. it's all about the right amount of tension. you should practice on a regular or feminized one. when you mess up (in veg) you can just let it grow back. if i ever do an autoflower i will only top it once right before it go's to flower. and maybe scrog, that's it. try to keep it simple in the beginning. peace!

@zack1, so true. I learn way more from my disasters. I'm so wary of even trying to tie down my others now. I'll get the swing of it eventually.

Hi i really dont know if there is apositive effect of putting the plant on a "darkcycle" i tried it one time , and the oly thing i had was mold after 24 hours

@Experimentgreen, @budrick - thank god someone else feels my pain - I miss the outdoor season like crazy! Couldn’t help but notice the thread re: reduced light cycle - I tried this a couple years ago and the only discernible difference I found was a lower yield. If ur just straight experimenting cool, but I wouldn’t expect a grow revelation if u know what I mean. Just an FYI cuz I don’t wanna see either of you burn a bean unnecessarily. Good luck either wayπŸ‘Š

You're doing well. First grows are tough. Don't worry about the top breaking off, my first grow I got bud rot in the tent (power kept cutting out and humidity/temp spiked). I had to cut the tops off over 1/2 my plant and I even cut cola's in 1/2. They are strong plants, she put that extra energy into the remaining cola's and those swelled more. Relax you're doing great.

@NomNom, pssshh honey i need all the support and encouragement I can get. None of those things matter...some of the truly badass growers I've met here don't worry one second over trophies and what not. I'm glad I'm not alone. Plus most of those likes were from growing big outside plants that took 28 weeks...anyone can collect over that many weeks. I'm cool being a newbie.😊

@Experimentgreen,Sorry I'm such a retard. I was just going looking through the "Diaries" page and saw your post as "1st indoor" and the picture. I read through the diary and thought I'd say some nice encouraging words of support because I thought you were a newbie. I was having issues a few months ago and I thought I'd let you know you're not alone with the issues. I didn't look at your profile so I didn't realize you have a million likes and a bunch of trophies. Now I feel like a goof 😜

@NomNom, serious, mine did that too. My 99.9% sunshine diary, i got 12 ounces out of with nonstop chaos which was cool...but it had an odd twang to it too. Maybe my drying and curing methods are off...or switching from fox farm to remo half way through. I'm going to try to keep its as chemical free as possible this year on the outdoor and see if there's a difference. I'd be content not dealing with the legal guys at all....unfortunately I don't see everything they're using and doing so I'm much happier to do home grown. Even if it's the schwaggiest stuff there ever were, i still get to take ownership over it.😊

That makes two of us who make catastrophic mistakes! There are so many factors inside you don't worry about outside, but also vice versa! You need to find your daily grind inside! But i'm sure you will man ;-)

@Experimentgreen, What i said earlier bro, autoflowers have a fixed cycle and retarding or stunning them causes a lot of problems. You are right about the learning curve, and also trough the eyes of the beholder of your diary, a diary where nothing goes wrong is nice but also not much to be learned! It's only trown away time if you trow in the towel. See you next week! πŸ‘Š

@TheBudWhisperer, i totally agree. I've git 2 sour stompers in 3 gal pots vs the 1 gal in this one. And they got put under the led earlier and they were much bigger and bushier...we'll see how they compare in the end.

@Experimentgreen, my problem is always with plant count - each one needs to make it for the sake of the stash inventory so when it comes to autos I keep it super simple with basic lst and defo. Some people do some pretty awesome things with autos but higher stress training is always gonna be a little risky with any plant on a genetic time limit. PersonaL opinion: mistakes happen, ditch the screen, go light on clipp’n the green and next one’ll be a monsterπŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸ‘Š

@TheBudWhisperer, Thanks doll you're sweet. She'd have been much sweeter if i hadn't have gone mad weed whacker and broker her top half off lol. I might have some 5/7/15 gallon pots waiting their turn.😊 But i need my design skills to get better, or figure out how to use a screen.

@CRiSPrGrow, @experimentgreen - so true Bulbi. I grew out a cheese auto last year with extreme lst and it was a disaster. Thought I was being cute/artistic and ended up burning an awesome bean on what yielded out to less than half an oz.... just cuz I didn’t let er grow.

Heey man looking good, i agree on leaving them alone when theyre this young. I just do a few mistings a day since i dont have a humidifier but thats pretty much it. I would reccomend using other cups that arent see through. Because of the contact of the light algue can appear in your soil and give ph fluctuations and root rot. You can always cover the cups with something like aluminium foil or something. Goodluck man!! I think im going with Fantasmo Express in the next run :D

@ArucambaAutoflowers297, so true! I started seeing a little tinge of green on some of the perilite! I need to transplant or maybe put a sock or something around the cup. I just never have solo red cups laying around so they never get used...i must need to keep a small stock

@OutForReal, I've heard my climate here in nevada is comparable to Afghanistan....odd but my brother and other military persons have all said that. I'm fairly high elevation...but very low moisture through the year. There's not much that grows wild here except sage brush, pine trees and a few other things that can survive on scorching summers dry air and pretty chilly winters. The new light will only help if i stop abusing my plants to the breaking point. (Literally....i snapped the bigger plants top clean off the other day! ) yikes. I'm glad your grandpa has at least you...if he didn't he might have no one, that'd be worse than bearing the burden alone. Old people are cool too..so enjoy his company however you can. Thanks for the GOTM congrats...I'm the 2nd loser. Lol I'm always stuck in 3rd it seems haha.😊

Do whatever works for you. I used to use root Riot cubes exclusively. Now I am back to the good old trusty paper towel in a plastic bag trick for germination lol. If you find a way that doesn't work that is a lesson just a valuable as finding a way that does work in the long run. πŸ‘

@Experimentgreen, Seeds went straight into the cubes. 60-90% success rate I would say which is fine with bag seed but when paying good money for seeds or you don't have many etc nothing less than 100% is what I want lol. 9 times out of 10 the cubes would successfully pop the seeds open but from there only 6-9 of 10 would make it to "seedling" stage

@Green_Friends_Inc, oh so true, I probably learned much more from my failures this summer than any stuff that went right lol. Did you put the seeds straight into the riots or did you germinate first ?
