First week and information overload! Lots of learning! A friend gave me a branch off of his Canuk Cheese Mother so I cut myself a batch of clones! He also lent me his turboKloner! So nice! Took a little over a week and then they started showing lots of roots! Learning so much patients with my new hobby
Lots of learning curves! Started using a king led only to find out it didn’t cover all the plants, leaving just the mother growing in the middle! On with the hps!
Problems. Learning. Problems. And solutions.
So much stuff going on! First off my led wasn’t covering all the plants do only the middle mother was growing!
So I turned on the hps and turned it down to 600w and the room was running at 30c!! So hot! Had to build an exhaust for my window, no big deal and problem solved.
Aphids!! I got aphids!!! Wtf!!!! Tried picking them off and soap and water for a few days and seemed to work! Go to change my water on Sunday and boom! My system if full of soap bubbles!!! All the liquid I sprayed leaked down into the water! What a mess! Three water changes later!
A few days go buy and the aphids are still here! Fml!!
Well, earth dust did the trick thank god!
Finally seem to have everything on track! Between light issue, aphid issues, and getting used to PPM. I think we’re getting this whole growing thing figured out!
First week of flower is going great so far! Started to grow pistols by the second day!! I’m so excited for my first harvest!
I trained these plants to be bushy and boy are they! Having to take more then a handful of leafs off of each plant almost every day!
I think my girls have a drinking problem. About 2 gallons a week!
Hello and damn. First grow is going really well man. Looks like you have the 'touch'
I asked this question very recently myself, as I didn't do much pruning or defo in my first grow. I was worried about stress in flower and didn't want to push her. Recently, however, I've been told to forget most of what I was told and by someone that way knew way more then the others.
Long story short, go for it, but don't go hog wild. Trimming and defo is stress and too much stress can have consequences. But taking small amounts here and there , including small flowers in later bloom, that you know you won't want (LARF) is just fine. It is heavily suggested that you plan the defo/trimming directly before or after a feed. This way she will recover much faster with the nutrients needed to do so. Cutting during a dry out is not really recommended...just a heads up👍. Anywho, I wouldn't suggest any of this if you were growing with mystery bag seed, but you're not and have solid genetics here. Strong genetics means the girls can take more stress and bounce back faster. Weak genetics, under stress, have the propensity to be problematic and even hermie in certain stressful conditions. Lastly, choose wisely😉. Your fan leaves are still very purposeful, so anything you don't need to take, don't👍. Try to only take what impedes the growth of other shoots and to increase canopy light penetration.
Good luck with whatever course of action you choose! They look stellar and there are good things on the horizon! Drop me a PM if there's anything else, my grow friend. I'll be kicking around. Cheers😉👍
Getting bushier and bigger by the day! Im trimming everyday and it still seems to not be enough!! Starting to have a slight skunky smell up close. Little hairs have shown on all of them. More and more hairs every day!!
Half way through the week and I’ve put in the second trellis netting!
Ok so I cut it out to defoliate...
I am so nervous! I just did a major defoliation because I’m pretty sure I made the plants to be bushes and that’s why there weren’t getting taller! Ughh. I only did a light defoliation to the one and going to see what happens.
Yes this is all a learning experience. But I just want good quality bud! Very nervous to know if you’re be done the right thing
Week 3 and my girls still haven’t grown much in height. The 3 I lollipoped recovered nicely!
So comparing pics from the last week of veg to the end of the third week, they have Deff grown a ton! I guess o don’t notice when I’m around everyday. I think next time I will veg longer.
End of week three and I left on lolipopped girl as is. Then defoliate the other 3!
Start of week four and things are looking great! Girls recovered from day 21 defoliation. I’m pretty sure I did mess up and didn’t leave enough nodes, but only time will tell!
Buds look delicious but not much of a smell yet
My scrog is full full full! I’ve never seen so many buds!!
Everything is going great sstill! Extremely sticky. Buds fattening up. Trichomes everywhere!
I love learning and watching!
My first ever harvest went great! I trimmed 3 different ways as well as flushed for different amounts of time.
24hr flush and wet trim with bowl trimmer, dried on dry rack. Aprox 4 ounces as i was smoking it soon as it dried, small buds first. 🤷♂️🏻
3 day flush. Wet trimmed by hand. Hung to dry. 119 grams
Last two ladies were the bushy ones. I let them flush for a full week and then hung to dry. We hand trimmed them both(not as close of trim) to make edibles and oils with. 412 grams!
I think I did pretty well on my harvest. I have over a pound of bud! I’m all smiles!
