Day 58 - First Grow. First plant. 272.16 Grams I dinged her up pretty good around days 35-40 or so, which were pretty crucial days in a 55-60 day plant, but it seems like the damage was primarily cosmetic as she came through with what seems to me like a whole lot of bud, that looks pretty good up close. Most of the damage seemed to have been to her fan leaves*, and all of those were still supple and looked good on the bottoms, so there was still some good action happening inside her. Her wet weight (With stems) is 272.16 Grams. I don't know how much they weigh, but my hope is to get 1.5 ounces out of her. I'm fairly certain that I'll get more than 1oz. For a plant with a claimed harvest of 30-60 grams, I am a happy camper for a first timer. I'll do better next time! This gal is about a week older than her sisters in the grow, and most of the worst mistakes I have made have been with her, so onward and upward! She's drying now, with most of her sugar leaves attached and a tiny bit of fan leaves hanging off of her to slow her dry. Our RH is in the 20s and 30s right now and it's hard to keep up so slowing down her dry is critical. She's in an 18x18x24 inch moving box. Some holes poked into the sides, hanging from some paracord. (She was so heavy I wanted 550lb test line har har etc.) So now we wait and watch her dry out. Will read more about drying and make sure her conditions are as optimal as they can be. So basically I'M IN. This is a thing I can do and not get bored. Every step is interesting and I'm constantly trying to figure ways out to make thing easier and better. I'm an obsessive tinkerer and optimizer and this is one more thing that has nearly endless putzing around potential. My goal, after this full grow is harvested, is to go through my whole process (Was well documented) and cut out every dead end and mistake, and creating as simple a grow plan as possible. Things like learning that nutrients are an endless rabbit hole for salespeople to send a newbie down, how not to panic and make big, drastic moves. How to wait a couple days and see before acting. It's a good general patience training exercise. I've come out of the first grow having learned about 30 things to never do again, and still managed to come out with what looks like a damned decent crop, so yay me, and yay people here on Growdiaries, /r/autoflowers /r/mephheads and /r/microgrowery who were instrumental getting me through this with some dignity. :-D I'll update the harvest when she's dry and I've tasted a lil' sump'n. After giving her the pre-cut haircut we were kind of amazed at how healthy she looked underneath her beat up top layer of foliage!

@Hexus, I feel your pain. Planted 5 for my 3x3 tent directly in soil. Over a week later nothing. Germ 6 new ones in a paper towel (5+1 extra incase one doesnt work.) Put a heater in there because I thing initial issue was low temps. 2 days after germ all 5 originals pop. All 6 germ. Now sitting with 11 seedlings. Bought a second tent to accommodate my mistake lol.

@Budcoin, Nice! Everything is going smoothly but I jumped right in with a ridiculous NINE plants. Was supposed to be one, but then my light supported at least a 2x2 space, so I planted a second, but it didn't appear to sprout, so I germed a third and while it was germing the second one sprouted and hey, three plants is great but four makes a 2x2 square so it seemed to be logical to, you know, do four. :-D Of course I bought a tent, a 32x48 incher, because the shower stall was now a bit crowded, and now I had half of a tent filled and that just wasn't going to cut it so EIGHT, but fool that I am, one of them didn't and then DID germ on me so NINE IT IS SAH. Somewhere in there I got a triple Cree Cob setup at 190w, to, you know, supplement the blurple. *Twitch* Gonna have a whole bunch of cannananananananabis, apparently.

Damn you sure made some bushes out of them! Those will look great once covered in buds. And such a beautiful cat🀩 probably loves being around the plants. My mainecoons will try to get in my tent any way they can. Trashed the whole tent including plants my last grow. Such a pain, but you gotta love em :)

@ArucambaAutoflowers297, Thanks! Yeah we're gonna have to move the grow to elsewhere to account for Cat-Ass-Trophies being awarded. I've got a plan, so you know everything will be fine. O_O

Hey man how often are you watering?
Hexus
Hexus
@Bicboi, Right now it's been maybe every three days. I've got one of those $10 stick it into the dirt meters with a 1-4 on it and I put water in when it's in the 1 zone at a depth equal to the height of the top of the plant. Seems to be working great because I haven't over watered them yet. Would probably be less often were it not for the tent being 84f or so because of the lights. Temp outside is a toasty 20f right now but the three COBs and the blurple togather keep it very very warm.

Looks great. On your next grows you can try removing a few fan leaves to allow a bit more light to the lower parts of the buds.

@EelGrows, Far more than I expected! Was doing it on a single plant to say that I had had the experience, and the next day there was twice as much plant... So... LST it is. Relaxing now that I'm doing it, as well.
