1plant_closetgrow -First cannabis grow, experience with tomatoes and peppers in DWC
-Closet grow, no tent
-Roleadro LED, Galaxyhydro series
-Seems like a slow start, may have stunted
-First 3 days light was about 2" too far
-Having a hard time getting pH right, using General Hydro test kit and pH down- pH measuring high
-Got digital pH test kit, calibration off
-Humidity lower than it should be, not sure how to adjust
-Advanced Nutrients claim this organic nutrient doesn't smell or clog lines, had a mild fish smell the first 3 days and noticed residue in top feed line and bottom of grow basket
-Leaves look a nice green- lighter than darker, slight bumps/deformation on bottom of first set of leaves, second set of leaves pushing
-It's alive and growing so I'm happy, just have to get pH down

1plant_closetgrow -Was excited to see roots shoot out basket during the beginning of the week. Then some major root growth throughout the week.
-Noticed some brownish coloring on roots, thought root rot or nutrient sludge? Found out, through advanced nutrients, organic nutrients will leave a brown tinge.
-pH finally where it should be. Still using GH pH testing kit to measure so no exact number. Based on their chart, yellow 6.0
-Leaves look a lighter green then I'm thinking it should be. Will add a little more nutrients during next water change in couple days.
-Humidity still low! Running a temporary humidifier I already had outside closet door. Brought up humidity by 15%, but still only measuring 35% at it's highest.
-Started playing music for plant about 30min/day, also talk to it a few times a day. Anyone else do this?
-Disappointed in sludge build up, and mild/strong fish smell during first half of the week after water change as AN claims otherwise for this nutrient. Growth looks great besides that.
-Lots of growth this 2nd week, very exciting to see, both above and below deck.

1plant_closetgrow -Added half the amount of nutrients recommended, may add a little more than half recommended during next feeding in a couple days
-Newer leaves have a lighter brighter green, thinking more so than normal. Maybe not enough food?
-Started LST, maybe too early? Should have it grow more?
-Lots of growth this past week, preflowers showing!
-Decorated and added video for the "Xmas GROW *SPECIAL*" giveaway!!

1plant_closetgrow - Should I have started flowering nutrients? Started too late, wait couple days, or another...?
- Water/nutrient change in 2 days, (30th day from sprout.) Was planning to switch to flowering then.
- Had to add 2L of water to reservoir for the first time on day 28, added 5mL extra nutes with it as well
- Brown spots on a couple leaves. Not sure exactly why? Phosphorus deficiency from fluctuating pH, wind burn, or from root rot?
- Lite LST, extra lite defoliating, leaf tucking

1plant_closetgrow - Switched to bloom nutrients on day 30, 45mL/19L
- Iguana Juice Bloom barely has a smell compared to the nasty "organic smell" IJ Grow had. Made lots of unexpected bubbles in reservoir.
- One of airstones making noise, can't figure why. Underwater pump that runs top feed tube doesn't work. Thinking "organic sludge" messed/clogged up both.
- Ruling out root rot just based on the roots not having a foul odor at all.
- Different kind of brown spotting developed than the previous week, thinking calcium deficiency this time.
- Day 34, decided to rinse and refill to correct spotting and what may be nutrient burn on tips. Added 40mL/L of nutes instead of the 45mL from previous refill.
- Plant is small, but the bud sites look great. Leaves developing some frost.
- Hoping rinse and refill, with lower nutes, corrects deficiencies/spotting/discoloration

1plant_closetgrow - What a week!! Decided to move plant into soil. Determined that I DID have root rot! What a headache, I really wanted to just give up! Moved into soil on day 41
- Moved into Happy Frog Soil in 7 gallon pot,
4L of water no added nutes. Will add on next watering.
- Plant did great during transplant, no signs of shock to my knowledge. Had to strip roots of rot before putting into soil.
- Plant pushed out new roots when maxed out air pump in hydro setup, one of the main reasons I didn't give up. It's still alive, and it can still be saved!
- Was going to purchase Hydrogaurd to get rid of rot but talking to hydro store guys ultimately ended up going into soil.
- Will try hydro again, I do have good soil knowledge with regular fruits and veggies so very comfortable working with it.
- This plant is very tiny, so expecting a tiny harvest. Grow and learn.

1plant_closetgrow - Lots of guesswork this week. Wasn't sure how much water to give at first, 2L/watering seems right for now. Hard to diagnose yellow/lite green leaves. Nutrients? LED too close? Transplant shock?
- Plant looks great during the end of this week, after all it went through.
- Smell is picking up, hard to describe exactly. At first it seemed "gassy," but it's changed to fresh pine/lemon/lime. Smells fresh and dank for sure, bold heavier smell than lite sharp smell.

1plant_closetgrow - I can see the finish line!! Thinking a couple more weeks till harvest. Let me know if you think other wise. Planning to just give plain pH'd water from here on out.
- Decision based on most "hairs" being darkened. I have a jewelers magnifier, but can't really tell if trichomes are cloudy or not.
- Leaves got their green back, plant looks great overall. Really impressed with frost coverage, nice and shiny.
- Can't wait for the next run! Thinking I'll only get a quarter dry out of this mini plant, but it's something. Buds bulked up a bit
- Smell changing, not a "danky" wet smell, more earthy now, lite lemon

1plant_closetgrow - Started to flush this week, watered her twice this week, 3L each watering. Will continue flush next week.
- Should I flush until I see leaves changing color? Assuming I should wait till green leaves start getting a lighter green fade.
- Not seeing any amber trichs.
- Fun first grow, thinking I'll get a little over a quarter dry. Only a 4" mini plant, I know I'll get a bigger girl next run. Can't wait.
- Noticed lots of dust collecting in my LED light. Will have to open apart and clean, anyone have same problem?

1plant_closetgrow - Decided to chop down on day 69 based on trichs/ambering. Still hanging to dry
- Didn't really have the leaves changing/fade. Any input on that? Flushed for 2 weeks, maybe not enough flushing? Happy Frog Soil, Advanced Nutrients Organic line.
- Really small harvest, pretty comical 😂 will update under harvest with dry weight when ready
- Already got my 2nd grow under way, Alien vs Triangle F2. Germinated waiting to break soil, so look out for that!
My first grow so I can't compare to any other grow experience. So glad I have a couple more seeds of this strain to really get her to it's potential.
Really messed up trying to grow in DWC set up for my first grow with organic nutrients. I really thought I could pull it off but the organic nutrients made it difficult to keep things from clogging and cleaning.
Root rot got to it and decided to put into soil, the plant did really well going through this process, rating resistance strong.
Massive learning curve; from watering to nutrient dosage, light distance, humidity adjustments, knowing when to harvest, flushing, drying and curing. Learned so much from this. Def need to improve and learn more in all areas to get the yield and quality desired.
Cured for 2 weeks before trying. Was a harsh inhale. I don't think I flushed enough. Maybe even over dried, as well. Weak smell and not really sticky at all. Taste is hard to describe, just too harsh for my liking. Kind of disappointed, I only blame myself for not knowing how to properly do these things. Grow and learn
Got Boveda packs and will cure a couple more weeks and try again. Hoping the smell and taste will only get better.
Mephisto Genetics reposted one of my pics to their Instagram account!! A little instafame there, pretty cool being first grow.
UPDATE: 4 weeks of curing
Just an update, I did got to cure Tyrone a couple more weeks and what a difference!! Much much smoother, tastier and happier!! Curing and tasting at different stages is a great way to learn new things! Glad I saved some to cure out longer. Can't really pinpoint flavor profile, definitely tastes fresh!

1plant_closetgrow Will have to try to grow out this strain again, really see how well she can grow out to be. Lots of room for improvement, learning and crafting technique.
The smell, harshness and poor yield are all on me. I don't blame the genetics or nutrients. My lack of knowledge really set back this plant. But I had to start somewhere.
UPDATE!! Check update in the above section
