So now I know 12" is too close. Burnt the plants and started some foxtailing but I've raised the light and I'm probably going to chop on Friday...if I can wait that long. Mistakes were definitely made this grow but, I still think it came out pretty well. For my next grow I'll have some different equipment. I've ordered a Cloudline T9 which will help me automate humidity and temperature. I have my soil mixed cooking and it's been about a month since it started decomposing so, the seedlings should be fine to be planted into the medium. Next grow I'll be introducing myco fungi and we'll see how that improves the root system. I'll also be using 3 gallon pots (plastic) and 5 gal. (fabric)pots to see the difference. If my thoughts are correct the 3 gal. pots are better for autos than the 5gal.
Update:
I just remembered... I didn't adjust the light for the growth of the plants. When I remeasured they were about 10" from the light smh. Noob move. Now I think I'll harvest on Wednesday night because the plants is stunted and probably in survival mode.*I just turned the lights off* let's just stop wasting energy LOL give it a day of darkness and clean out the tent for next grow ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ฟ
@Philindicus, thanks for all the info bro, the boveda packs just came in the mail and I have I light meter...that I tooooootally forgot about LOL thanks for the reminder ๐๐
You got some descent looking buds. The little ones can still pack a punch. You can try to re-hydrate your buds with some orange peels to get the humidity back up to 62-65% (The magic #) using a digital humidity gauge in each jar. Then remove the peels and add a 62% boveda humidity pack. Then let it cure for three+ weeks should improve the smell and taste. Sample it along the way and compare.At 6- 8 weeks of curing it everything seems to get that much better. Also try to give the buds a tighter trim to remove overly leafy parts which have the most chlorophyll. It's worth a try.
@CeeJah,Fore Sure he is #1!! i live together with 3 Olde English Bulldogges... and its always good to have that "Familymembers" They are always around, and Looove my outdoor Grows^^ You can see them in my Diarys Outdoor Giants and Medical Hempgarden
Hey bro,
I am not sure but to me the plants don't look quite right. Buds far too small.. I would guess overwatering or something like that. Myself I top/fim always 2-3 days before switching to flower, never had no issues.
Have a good smoke and enjoy the improvements you will make

@@Spaceman,
Thanks for the feedback bro๐ don't we all wish we could have bigger buds? The middle one is as big as a water bottle and the others are essentially a large bouncy ball or small golf ball size BUT, they are airy. I think I just harvested a little too soon. Impatience will be the death of my plants LOL
It will start stretching sometime in week 5 and continue into week 6. Try to catch it in that time frame.May be easier to do some LST work on it then. Work from the stiffer lower portions first while they are still some what flexible.
you will be ok on your broken stem if you tape it, how do you like your light?. i have a 600 and a 300.
And they will bloom on their own, use both lights on 20hrs on 4hrs off, keep min 14". Also be careful with trimming and topping with autos don't want to overstress them. Maybe also try to raise the humidity a bit. I did my 1st grow ever with white widow autos using coco.
@CeeJah, you topped and fimmed a bit late that's why bro, i think i have some sucker punch in the fridge, so i'm looking forward to your smoke report ๐
