MadMama's First grow

Stealth is everything. Small text 2X2X3. 18/6 done 6/2 for stealth. Using 200w Vero COBS.

This baby girl is growing thick and hard. Leaves Praising. Started LST, but was too scared to FIM on my first plant.

First grow and journal. You can tell. It appears things are just going so well. Plant now has about 8 or 9 pre flower sites. Grew so fast in 3 day, the top was hitting light fixture and is just a little crispy. Trying water Monday and Thursdays. Because this is my first grow, I have to fight constantly to not "love them to death." I close the tent and become a voyeur with my security cam in the tent. Just doing Kind plus Roots Organic and distilled water.

Took more pictures this week. This project is severely addictive. My plants get no peace from me. My leetle tent now has an old phone doing time lapse photography . I love the jury-rigging that we have to do. You see the leaf discoloration in some pictures. I am cognizant but not overly concerned. This monster child has stalks so thick and healthy. Using LST Trainer to ratchet down the big trunk stems. I have no true comparison as this my first grow, but aside from the discoloration, I appear to have a winning combo with a Kind, Roots, and Vero COBs. Very open to suggestions as I am/ was not even sure that I was in true flower. Did snip some hairs at the end of the pre buds for back building. This is too much fun. Still doing 6/2 for stealth. I get faint whiffs of plant material.

Man, your emotions change by the minute when doing stealth. I watched as much video I could tolerate on HST, LST, and defoliation. So I did some. Could not idly ignore my little darling needed more than breast milk(distilled water). Started a regimen of Skunkwerkz All In One. Do you sense a theme yet? Got a degree in science, no need to try to impress anyone, with my non brilliance. These set of photos made me swoon, can't lie. Hey community, my ego on pause, if you see something, say something. You know I am fighting height and heat now, tell the truth. But did you see her babies?

Over growing my leetle tent and pretending to be mad. This plant is just so hardy. Remember waaaay back when,say 3 weeks ago and I was scared of all forms of manipulation. Time brings about a change. Included a knuckle shot. Every little doo dad I order, they offer free gloves. Now I know why. My fingers stuck together and I put them undet my nose,, I woke up on the floor. The smell of intense grape bubblegum. Still being paranoid about smell. Yes, you get the whiff of vegetation occasionally in that room but nothing else. Could someone help me age my plant. I dropped bean on 11/13 straight to 3 gal pot. Not trying to rush it but planning strategically for visitors.

Let me fake complain. Plant too unwieldy to take out of tent. I have been growing a plant now for 7or 8 weeks, yesterday I looked at that same plant and remembered what it was for. Can't believe I am going to be my own best friend. A friend with weed is a friend indeed. As we get close to crop, I am tallying my newbie mistakes.

This grow just went so well for my first. The rusty leaves never abated. Did not have that overwhelming need to run to harvest. In fact, I was worried about guests during drying. Did need to get her out of tent as #1 new grower error. Too many plants for tent, didn't read the specs on plants. Only chose based on little to no aroma. Scored in that area. As you can see, plants was a fatty. Then you see them buds. Amateur. Thin and airy. Smell like heaven, taste like ice cream in heaven. My first plant. This plant paid for light. 200w Vero COBs. The next harvest pays for everything else in real dollars. Now the enjoyment of going seed to harvest is priceless. Airy buds come from high heat. Turned lights down to 25.5. Would not change a thing. Did series of 6/2, 2X2X3 tent, and lots of LST, HST, and defoliation. Since I had to manipulate, got to learn that plants respond with absolute vigor. Grateful to you all.
