Some upgrades this week. Last week I replaced the 2x2x4 tent with a 2x4x5. This week I upgraded my optic 1 54w in the veg/flower tent to a 100w optic 1 XL and added a humidifier. The humidifier is cheap but nice. It did leak one night but I think that was my fault. The plant was in a plastic pot saucer so it didn't get wet. I ran the exhaust fan hose into the tent and it runs on the timer with the lights. It helps drop the temp about 5-10 degrees on low. No filter is attached.

Looking good for first grow. I named her Mary Jane. :-) I think I have been giving her too much water. (At once, not too often) It's been about 4 days and the top is just now almost all dry. Today (8/30) I rearranged the tent. I moved the plant and light to the other side and put my two AK-27s in the veg tent. The Amnesia is about 26" and the others are about 30". I am using an Optic 1 XL 100w in the veg tent. (Optic 1 54w in the seedling tent) Running the humidifier at all times. (about 60-65 RH) Temp hovers around 78-81. Started LST! Took it VERY well! Loving it. I gave her another watering too. About 1/4 the "recommended" amount. Next watering will most likely be ph only. Maybe slight cal-mag.

I think my light might have been a little low for this grow. Next grow, I am going to try and get some more stretch on the plant.

I am thinking she has about 2 more weeks before I start the final flush/harvest. *Just a guess. It's my first grow.* I can barely believe how much she changes every day. I am very anxious about the harvest/cure. I don't want to mess up the final part. I received my 8 bag bubble hash system in the mail a couple days ago. ;-) Looks beautiful! I can't express how exciting this is. I should have started this many years ago!!

10/27 D78 - Moved 2 more plants and a 54w Cob over. More heat! Working on lowering it back. *Keeping Mary Jane under the 100w
10/29 AM D80 - 1 Gal Flush @ pH 6.1 *Read about giving molasses through flush. Pretty mixed reviews but decided to stop during flush.
10/30 PM D81 - 1 Gal Flush @ 6.1
11/02 AM D84 - I lied! BUT for good reason. I decided after 4 days of no nutrients (flushing) to keep the plant going a while longer. I did this mostly because I was looking at sugar leaves instead of calyx leaves when identifying trichomes. I have found that the best way BY FAR is to take a small cutting of the leaf and use the Carson 60x-120x microscope. It worked PERFECT! I found most the trichomes on the calyx were still pretty clear. No amber yet!

11/15 AM - Finished Harvest! Smaller nugs in brown bag. Larger stems hanging in small tent. temp around 72 (bottle ice in bucket to keep low as possible) Humidity around 50-60
11/16 AM - 1 jar, 14 oz of first trimmed/hung. Curing. /
It's finished! 👊 My very first plant has been harvested! She is soooo beautiful! 😍 I got a very good yield. (I think) The nugs look gorgeous! The smell is rather grassy BUT I believe that to be because it hasn't been cured yet AND I was unable to keep my grow tent temps low. I tried hard for low 70s but sometimes it got up near 80!! I wasn't thrilled about it but I tried. I harvested at mostly cloudy trichomes, with more on the clear side than amber. I was looking to keep the sativa high as much as I could. I did succeed in that! After smoking, I feel more like working on something then sitting and relaxing! Exactly what I was going for. A very active high. 😁 💪
Wow! This was a fun experience. I enjoyed watching my plant grow and develop. Because it was my first harvest, I was nervous about a lot of the timing. I'm still unsure if I harvested exactly when I should have. I was trying for a speedy high rather than a couchlock high. I think I achieved that. I am waiting to see if the smell develops a little better over the cure. It's pretty grassy smelling right now and the smoke is a little harsh. I think that will change with the cure process. I was also unable to maintain low temps during the dry process too. That might be part of the smell/taste as well. I will update on that after a couple weeks of cure.
