I think this will become one of my favorite plants to grow.
I am a cactus/succulent growing before and they don't need much TLC but this THC plant needs a lot of it.
I started foliar feeding with molasses/seaweed and trace amounts of shilajit twice a day.
They look healthy but I still remain clueless about this plant.
They started flowering around 3-4 week in..They've been heavy feeders and very needy.
I topped the flowers and removed 2 leaves because.. well? I like to eat cannabis babies for breakfast.
Honestly, I don't know what the hell I am doing but that meal gave me a light buzz for an hour or so.
I read somewhere that topping off helps the plant grow much more evenly if done so.
But, I didn't do it properly for sure. I topped it while it was too short and I ripped out the other foliage leaves too quickly too.
One more thing, I found out today that we need a light schedule of 20-24 hours... I've been going for around 16-18 hours of light.
Looks like I have to really do some reading and research!
Still twice a day of molasses/seaweed and some shilajit here and there.
This is the big day..Week 5.. I'm sure many growers are laughing at me by now already.
A very delayed big day, they finally get bigger pots, better lights and classical music.
I hope I'm doing alright and recorrecting all my mistakes I've made thus far.
Healthy lush green leaves bursting with vitality and many colas coming up,
It looks like I can get a decent harvest perhaps. And a sidenote, I've been enjoying the leaves in my meals, it's a superfood after all y'know?
The Huachuma(san pedro) is a good companion plant.
I need a PH meter for my next grow, I am just eyeballing here...
The smell of the early miss is amazing, a mix between oranges, mandarin, grapefruit, vanilla and fruit stuff. I love it.
I can't identify the other 2 plants yet..They have a minty/spicy smell to it and flowers slower than the early miss.. Seeds also from CKS.
Well, they look healthy so far~! as I'm going 22/2 now and feeding them worm compost tea every day! 1/3-1/2 ratio for the tea.
I'm really thankful for all the leaves these 4 wonderful plants provide. My love for them gets returned. One reaps what they sow :)
I'm sure by now, Santa Maria and I are really bonding well despite my amateur mistakes.
She's providing me so much leaves to eat daily..yum..
I'm still doing the worm compost tea daily and topping off with gaiagreen power bloom 2-8-4 as top dressing here and there.
They've been drinking some herbal tea of mine too with combination of shilajit, cacao, ashwagandha, mucuna, shatavari, and chaga.
I'd say these are lucky plants. The grow room smells mildly sweet as long as the worm compost tea isn't sitting around.
I use 2 fans and one is a hepa filter fan.
It's going to be a good harvest! My short plants are going to give me a lot of flowers!
I've been plucking the fan leaves once a while if they were blocking primary colas. And of course, eating them. Nothing is wasted.
I would have to experiment in the future with no defoliating and no topping.
My primary mistake was topping and transplanting on the same day. The plant wasn't happy for a few days and took nearly a week to recover.
Hope you learn from my mistake! Otherwise, the plants have been quite tolerant with me and is now rewarding my hard work with many flower sites!
The Low Dwarf Flyer is almost ready for flush it seems. The Early Miss is slightly behind and the Jack Herer is last place but the biggest producer!
I started running into gnat problems but it was easily resolved using neem spray on top soil daily and using an aromatherapy with neem oil, lavender, rosemary, peppermint nearly 24/7. Of course, I let the soil dry out between waterings which was the main issue. One of the Early Miss is being put in the garage for cold shock and reduced lighting now. It shall be harvested soon. Just daily molasses and occasionally shilajit water
My first grow is still not complete but for some reason, I'm already excited for my second grow as I've gained so many lessons taking care of these ladies. I increased the lamp distance. I reduced feeding and sticking to rain water and molasses for these final few weeks. One plant, the Early Miss is almost about to be harvested. It is sitting in the garage at the moment. It seems to be behind schedule due to stunting the growth during week 3-5. That was where I made the biggest mistakes.
I harvested one plant out of the 4 already. Barely 1 Oz from it but it was very smooth and delicious.
This is a very satisfying first run. I didn't know that my lamp distance was too close, forcing 3 of the plants to become hermy-like plants. I saw some seed pods forming.
For a plant that grew to 9 inches high, 13.1 grams of dried bud seems pretty decent to me.
It's my first grow but I used my standard gardener's special love and care.
Early Miss could easily be my top favorite at the moment.
It puts me into a meditative state and I'll be doing yoga, meditating, drawing and writing in my journal for 3-5 hours.
It is my first grow, the first plant gave me 22,4g and second plant 23.5g dried and trimmed weight.

This is an interesting little story. Glad to see you got some buds, and you learned some good lessons along the way. Lots of us out there learning from our mistakes. Good luck!
Notice any stunted growth cutting off the foliage? Was going to do this with mine but from reading about it I'm a little hesitant with them being autos
@Northnut, I don't think removing the fan leaves and underside leaves stunted the growth. 3 things that stunted the growth for sure was re-potting too late or not using a larger pot in the beginning, messing up the light schedule and topping it off too soon. Now I have miniature plants but now that they're in full bloom, I'm getting lots and lots of buds.
How old is the San Pedro? Have you tried it?
Your crop would have been much larger I think if you started off with much larger pots. Say one or two liters. Transplant to largest pot week three. Good looking nugs for your first grow.
Curious to see your Jack looks like it was leaning very heavy to the Ruderalis. I have one that has a bunch of pretty buds, although it is smaller and pretty bushy. Got few other seeds to see how stable the genetics are.
First time growing, don't know what I'm doing really.
I used the paper towel germination method and got all 4 seeds 100% germinated.
I have 2 early miss seeds and 2 mix and match autoflower in there.
Most likely I messed up so I did zero research beforehand. I went 16/8-18/6 until week 4 and the buds came out around week 3? Super fast I thought then I found out I wasn't supposed to give them much darkness in the beginning. Amateur mistake, I'll learn.
