This is her in the early stage of week one. She’s growing really well, during this week only watering her every couple of days - not adding any nutrient at this stage. She’s in a 20l fabric pot with Biobizz light mix- which seems to be working well

Since the start of week 2 using biogrow nutrient when watering her, approx 200ml every couple of days (with 1ml of biogrow in a 1litre solution). This is the first every grow so not too sure what to expect but she’s looking good.....hopefully.

This week she’s had a hugggeeee growth spurt. Due to the heat wave earlier this week she struggled with the heat, the humidity became an issue too (went up to 70ish)- got a cheap dehumidifier which has done the trick so back to in the 50s

Still feel like she may be a tad short considering what days she’s on. Any experienced growers weigh in on whether she’s doing alright or not (since completely new to this and winging it)? Watering her every 3 days approx 200ish ml

Hey there Thai, well you see growth rate is regulated by the Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) and you're bang on the most optimal conditions + your lights are at the correct distance , this you can tell from the tight (and perfect !) Internode spacing of leafs' "levels" . These genetics' name is "dwarf" so you shouldn't expect massive vegetative growth, but if if I can I hope this puts your mind at ease. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Had a slight newbie error with estimating the sizing of the tent...didn’t take into consideration the pot PLUS plant size 😅. Light was too close to plant so botched jobbed the lighting system in the tent. Switched to 12hr light cycle for flowering period.

Upped the water amount this week and added extra amounts of nutes. Hopefully her buds keep on growing 🙌. Not going to lie, completely winging this grow......still!

Pretty much watching the buds grow the nutes make a big difference. Not quite sure how much longer the flowering period will go on for/when to harvest.

Day one of 9th week, sticking with same portions of nutes as previous week. Super strong, amazing smell! The pistils are continuing to go brown one more week with nutes then may start flushing - what do you guys think?

Feel like this is the final week letting it flower since most of the pistils are now brown. I have flushed for one week so far.

This is my first EVER grow: From the pictures above, do you think I have flushed too early (since I did a flush a few days ago) AND should I do another weeks worth of a flush to ensure all the nutes I’ve used is mostly out of its system? Any other other advice/tips are welcomed

Let me be honest with you , with that purple light it is pretty hard to see how the plants really looks like so if you can takes pictures under natural light or at least with the purple light of and a flash. That said concerning the flush it is unnecessary to do it more than a week when using organic nutrients as they are degrading fast by themselves , moreover the flush is more for the heavy feeders who want to wash the medium and the plant from the excess nutrients ( not excess but nutrients that are in the soil or the plant system ). I also remarked that you are talking about brown pistils like if you were waiting on the pistils to harvest ... which is a bad idea as they are not giving you a idea about the trichomes ( trichines are responsible for the effect , when they are clear you have an energetic high , when they are brown you have a stone a d when they are 50/50 it is a mixee effect but I recommend you to make some search about the tooic
