First Grow Ever

The two seedlings are Sucker Punch autos from Auto Seeds and the larger ones are Trans Siberian from the same seedbank. Not too much to say because it's my first grow and I'm just getting the hang of it but, I'm starting to have issues with my Trans Siberians... Sulphur issue? I've applied 2 tablespoons of Epsom to the medium as well as a misting of Epsom too. Sucker Punch in wk. 2, Trans Siberian in wk. 3

Sooooo.... While I was "Low Stress Training"... I snapped the stem lol. This happened about 5mins ago but, I made a splint and it should be fine. No more LST for TS#3. I've noticed the Sucker Punch plants are as tall as the Trans Siberians but not as leafy. It'll be interesting to see how each forms. Suberians both look like they're going to be super bushy. I wasnt expecting the leaves to grow on the stem like this (first time Grower lol), I'm assuming it's due to the great light penetration from the Meizhi 900w. I feel like the big leaves on the Trans Siberian maybe be blocking light to the smaller leaves growing in but, I've learned my lesson and I'm going to just let it grow.

Everything is going well in the tent. I had a sulphur issue that was cleared up with a little Epsom. I'm currently just watching the stem that I broke, it looked as though it had kind of bulged so, I put duct tape around it. Both Trans Siberian plants were defoliated because they just looked short and bushy, now the newer leaves can actually get some more light as the large fan leaves we're literally easch covering about 2-4 new braches/growth sites. I'm almost positive both of the Siberians have stared to flower but, I'm confused because the plants are still very short. Maybe I shouldn't have switched on the bloom light. I was just under the impression that autoflowers started to flower automatically and the more light the better... Who knows, this might even be a good thing. There's still ample space in the tent so I'm hoping the defoliation didnt stunt the growth and they fill it out the tent a bit more Slightly confused as to why my Trans Siberian has started to flower without branches Topped SP2+TS3 with F. I. M method

The plants seem to be doing well. I used slightly different techniques on all of them and I'm starting to see the results. Topping seems to be a BIG no-no, however, F.I.M technique has worked really well for the 2 plants I did it to. The plant that has been left to grown naturally seems really dense so, next time I will F.I.M. to open up the canopy/branches instead of having the main cola will supporting branches/colas around it. As for the plant that was topped.... I have no idea what it going on. It's been stunted from the top and is now growing awkwardly and bushy. I'm weary to remove growth sites close to the main stem because of how far behind the plant is already. I guess I'll just ride out with this one and have it as my personal smoke, maybe make shatter out of it lol.

the week went well without any growing issues (except SP2,which was topped). I top dressed the Sucker Punch plants on 11/2 with a 50/50 blend of Gaia Greens All Purpose and Power Bloom. next run I plan on adding in fishbone meal as well as monthly work casting amendments. I'm really excited to see what TS#1 ends up looking like because it's starting to fatten up and put on a lot of frost. The other plants don't seem to be budding nearly as fast but, I guess only time will tell. Sucker Punch 3 seems to be seriously stunted. As of 17/2 it has essentially been growing abnormally slow for 21 days. It was topped 27/1 and really hasn't bounced back at all. It was an experiment so I'm not too disappointed.

Things are going as planned, hopefully these will be done by the end of March. The Sucker Punch is about 6 weeks in and the Trans Siberian is 7. Next run I'll put 5 plants in there, a bit of fiming in week 2 or 3 of veg and LST. DEFINITELY NO TOPPING. I want to rip the little plant out and put something else in but, I'll wait it out lol

I top dressed the Trans Siberians because they went into week 5 of flower, that'll be the last feeding. I changed the arrangement of the plants into a triangle type thingy because I given up on the little Sucker Punch, I'll still let I grow in the corner and see what happens. 25/2/19 I've noticed the leaves are thin and slightly curled at the edges... only now do I realize it's light stress. I didn't know because I didn't see any yellowing or anything. I'm going to try a Dutch-style light hang. Which is basically just pulling the light to the top of the tent (I think LOL). Harvest time soon. Some Amber head are coming in on the Trans Siberians. I'm stoked. I've posted a picture of the different setup. higher light (30inches from canopy, 40inches from ground), higher & angled fan, angled humidifier. It seems as though I've created a Vortex. This seems much better for the plants imo. I'm interested to see how the plants respond to the height of the light because they're growing well but, were super short (they have started to stretch a little, and definitely was experiencing a mild light burn. the light burn is clear on the TS1 leaf tips and on the edges of all the other plants.

Nothing much to say. In full cruise control mode. harvested TSN1, March 8th

I've made a couple. Mistakes on this grow but when this run is done I'll make sure to correct my errors for next time. I'm in full cruise control right now. I was going to harvest the TSN3 but, judging by the last plant I harvested I'll let it go on for a couple more days to a week. Patience seems to be key because I could've sworn the triches on the harvested plant were cloudy but on further inspection, most of them were clear... Still pack a punch tho. They've knocked me out each time so I can't wait for the "real" product 💪🏿 13/3 The Trans Siberian and Suck Punch seem to have slowed down and I know I'm not over watering so I've readjusted the light to 1ft(12inches) from 18"....hopefully that doesn't fry them overnight...I'll actually cry, I'm serious. I've given away a couple samples to people of the premature harvest and boy ... The reviews have been amazing. What's even better is that it had been growing completely organic from start. I've got some new soil cooking and I have high hopes for this next run. Just praying for 100% germination and for healthy plants

I might be tripping but it almost looks like the leaves are burning... But they aren't, they're kinda soft actually. I looked under the code and the triches are fine on the leaves so I guess I just watch it. I could harvest her now but I'll wait a week or two, hopefully it'll probably on some more weight.

16/3 Harvested the second plan today and.... BOY IT'S FUEGO!!! 254.3g on the scales wet and it's just hang drying right now. Unlike last time I've gotten the humidity right and I'm looking for a much longer dry time (5-8 days, with no mould). But man... I'm getting reviews already and the buds are been referred to as snowballs. I can't take credit tho, great genetics. Update- Ended up with 44.6g dry... I'm a little disappointed but, it's all good. I was hoping for 70gs at a rate of 70% weight loss...44 is way off lool, I'll chalk it up to inexperience. Next grow I'll actually fill the tent and train the plants more efficiently and see what I come out with. The buds are amazing quality and have a purple sugary look to them

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 🤷‍♂️🏿

I managed to carry out a much better dry on the Sucker Punch than the Trans Siberian. Im going to cure this bud and see how it is in about 2 weeks. Looks frosty and much more purple than thought after the final trim. Funny enough I didn't see any amber triches but, from what I've smoked so far it's a heavy hitter (mainly trim).
