RQS Critical 1st Grow

A good first grow. Not because of the yield or quality of the buds, but for experience and lessons learned. I harvested the plant on 7th March, dried for 6 days and then trimmed. I ended up with an almost embarrassing 12g of bud and about the same in trim. Since harvesting, I wanted to wire up a potentiometer to my LED driver so I can use dimming on the next grow. In doing this, I noticed that the way I had my LED dimming wires connected meant that the driver was delivering only a small percentage of the max current. This means I was growing with far less than my expected 200W of lights all along. This explains why the buds weren't fattening and I had slow growth I guess! I've made mistakes during germination, veg (pH), flower (nutrients), and during the whole grow with the lights. The plant can only do as well as the conditions it is provided and so i've ended up with a disappointing yield, but I'm optimistic for the next one. The new grows (Vanilla Kush and 8 Ball Kush from Barney's Farm) are already off to a better start and already have more light (as seedlings) than this Critical did throughout its who life 😄
