Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted all of the previous weeks photos 😩
This was my first grow. Obviously, she’s a little stunted 😆
Here are some of my lessons learned:
- Transplanting: I started my growing journey from seeds and moved them into a jiffy, then into a solo cup, and finally transplanted them into a 5-gallon pot. Looking back, I think I might have overcomplicated things for my first grow, and it ended up affecting the root system.
- Feeding: Follow the manufacturers feeding schedule. I over-fertilized in the second week and I thought I was being conservative with what I added.
- Light Height: Follow the manufacturers light height hanging recommendations based on the stage of growth you are in.
Hey, just thought i would stop in and say nice work on your first grow. And your runt turned out a lot like mine. Dont be discouraged by its size. You will probably never grow another plant that small again. 😆
@MysteryInc, for my first time using it, I really liked it. I followed the manufacturer recommendations and dried the buds until the smaller branches snapped, and the larger branches were easily bent. After drying, I immediately put them in and grove bags to cure. Right out of the dryer, I did not notice any hay smell and after testing a bud-did not notice any harshness. I would definitely recommend the Herbs Now dryer.
I also opted for the charcoal filter, and if smell is a concern for you, I would highly recommend it. I did not notice any smell when it was running with the charcoal filter, but it was definitely loud when you took the lid and filter off to look at the bud
