So the long await was over, finally! Due to an abrupt end to the very minimal summer where I live, these ladies didn't produce what I imagine a standard yield would be from these great seeds. I also chose fairly small containers (although when tidying up I hadn't noticed any roots bound). They were attacked by fungus gnats a bit, with a little respite given using diatomaceous earth, however eventually they found their way back. Nevertheless this grow wasn't about yield, and more about growing from seed and exploring the plant itself - which this has been an excellent experiment for. I got a modest amount of flower from the harvest, which I trimmed and hung up in an airing cupboard to dry. After a few days they looked ready so I popped into a vintage copper lidded jar to cure. I don't have scales which read accurately enough to put how much there was, but it definitely weighed much less when trimmed and dried! It's an enjoyable smoke, not strong at all but gives a nice buzz which is what I wanted! I made cannabutter using the trim, which is quite potent! I glazed some home made donuts with it which tasted okay, but I think I'll save the rest for some gooey chocolate brownies. Overall I'm very pleased with my first grow, and would definitely look to grow again in a better climate with improved drainage, larger containers and more space! 😊

Hey Your ladies are looking good! Could you take a look at my week 3 dwarf diary? My girl is a little small for 20 days and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to boost her growth organically! Any feedback is appreciated!

@ladiesgardens, Thanks for the advice! We've been blessed with a day of sun today so they're currently drying out and getting some good rays!

@LawAbidingCitizen420, She's looking good at week 4 now, but maybe a little over watered? Maybe let them dry out a little, and more direct daylight if possible :-)

Looking nice.. what soil are you using? No stress summer wil begin shortly :) Your pots are a bit small for autoflowers, next time I would take some bigger ones (at least 15L) so they don’t get root bound and stay healthy till the very end. Good luck! 👍

@ladiesgardens, not sure if it’s smart to transplant, maybe it’s best you make a growingquestion, there are pros here that will answer that. All I know is that Autoflowers stop growing for up to a week and that’s far from good for a autoflower. They need a stressfree life.. I hope 8L will be big enough but just ask to be sure. And always remember, the more room foor roots the bigger the yield and plant.

@CoastGrower, just plain potting mix with veg nutrients included. Thanks for the tip! I wasn't sure how big to go on the pots - do you think I should move to a bigger pot? Or maybe remove the diatomaceous earth/add some more soil?

Don't feed bloom nutrients untill she at least shows sex. You'll know when that is because white hairs start forming on the nodes, but that won't be necessary for at least another week or two.

Looks great! I'm also doing my first autoflower grow but not doing so well. May I ask how much water you're giving each seedlings from week 1-4?

@knifepartie, Thanks!

@pillowz,Generally the first week just keep the soil damp, week 2-4 , water till 10% drains out bottom, re-water when the container "feels light" and at least the first 2 IN of soil is dry. It is better to underwater than over water. Over-watering is one of the biggest mistakes in growing. especially for beginners who, rightfully so, check and water there plants way to often. Depending on size, the first couple weeks might only need 2 watering a week, depends on soil type and drainage as well.
