First Grow

JimmyRustles420 17/02/2025 transferred seeds into 1 litre fabric pots. Probably should have filled the fabric pots with another inch of coco, but it was fine.

JimmyRustles420 Veg.

JimmyRustles420 05/03/2025 transferred to 23l fabric pots.

JimmyRustles420 11/03/2025 start basic lst.

JimmyRustles420 22/03/2025 gentle defoliation of lower portion to increase ease of watering. 23/03/2025 a little more lst.

JimmyRustles420 29/03 flipped to 12/12 lighting.

JimmyRustles420 Entering the second week of 12/12. They got pretty big, and are pretty much at the limit of height for the tent. Probably could have flipped a week earlier honestly. Will just gently bend some of the taller branches down a little to try and keep them in check. The larger plant on the left has apparently begun to show pistils, which I'm taking as a good sign to just keep doing what I'm doing.

JimmyRustles420 It's probably time for a big defoliation.

JimmyRustles420 Had to do some supercropping and tie down some more branches to keep them under the lights. Have been keeping them trimmed too. Happy 4/20.

JimmyRustles420 Very hairy, and starting to get nice and frosty too. It's getting real exciting.

JimmyRustles420 Completely forgot to update this with the final results. Harvested on 21/06/2025. Total yield - 686.82 grams (24.2oz/1.5lb) (not pictured: 1oz bagged separately, 3.5g bagged separately, 20g that was forgotten in a drawer for a couple of months, and 14g that unfortunately became contaminated with mold. Overall, very happy with the results. That's a lot of weed, and it's been very effective. Not the highest quality, but better than a lot that I've had. It was such a surprisingly large amount of weed that there wasn't even close to enough room in the drying net and the rest had to be laid out on a desk to dry. It was all dried for just over 5 weeks, and then squeezed into a pair of half-pound Grove Bags for a few more weeks while existing supply was used up. Most of it is still in the grove bags. Towards the end, needing to host a guest unexpectedly caused a reduction in care to the plants, causing them to die off after going a few days without feeding. Personally I was hoping to give them another week or so to really fill out, but I'm not going to complain about the yield or the quality. During the grow there were a lot of climate issues in the tent that stressed the plants. Both plants herm'd and produced seeds, which probably hurt the overall quality and yield, but clearly not by too much. High temperatures and humidity were the main issues. Both plants produced very similar yields by weight, though one produced very nice dense buds while the other was a little more larfy. Honestly, they should have been flipped from veg to flower at least two weeks earlier. They became gigantic and a nightmare to deal with. No amount of defoliation and supercropping made them fit nicely in the tent, and the climate probably would have been easier to deal with as well. At current consumption rates, this should last around four years. So it might be a while before another grow happens. Though I am looking forward to it. And whenever it happens, the plants will be kept considerably smaller and easier to deal with. The aim would be for around half the yield of this grow. Trying a recirculating deep water culture system sounds interesting, as does mainlining the plants.
