I've read a lot on it and decided not flush but I will take the drying and curing slowly. But to be honest I won't smoke it I will vape it and probably make edibles. I'm done with destroying my lungs.

This plant was very easy to grow and very forgiving. I started it in a space bucket and finished it in a small tent as it grew big quickly. Very tolerant of mistakes which I made a few as a first time grower. The smell was non existent until early stages of flower then when preflower started it was a subtle piney sort of smell. As soon as the buds started to grow it stank and I had to invest in a carbon filter. The end smell was a citrus piney smell with definite hints of a diesel aroma. She produced some pretty hefty buds too although I did mess up with my light distance and caused a bit of foxtailing and the buds weren't as tight as they could of been.

Well finally made it to harvest! Growing the blue mystic auto for a first grow seemed relatively easy. I made quite a few mistakes, used a soil tab causing nute burn early on. Tried to flush to early causing all sorts of leaf issues in the last part of the grow but all in all she did well.
I stuck to my plan and kept my journal updated everyday. I wanted to have a record so any other newbie could compare their grow to what it could look like each day. It all got a little tedious towards the end as very little changed but the stretch was exciting.
I pulled 11.6 oz wet from her so now it's all hung up drying and will soon update with a dry weight. Have sampled a little and although it was cured properly so not at it's full potential, it wasn't bad very citrus flavour with hints of a piney diesel flavour. The high was quite euphoric which I was hoping for, I didn't allow any amber Trichomes appear they were mostly cloudy with some clear left. Just finished drying maybe done a little quick but struggled a little to keep the conditions just right. It's weighing in at 2.35 oz after removing all the stems.

Beautiful buds. I agree with Jon though. They don't appear to be done. This is the hardest part about the grow in my opinion. Light, soil, water, and nutrients are fairly straightforward, but determining the optimum time to flush then harvest is difficult. I would hold off on flushing for at least this week.
When I think my plant is ready to harvest too early, you can remind me to wait!

@Quexos, Thanks my man it is really hard to judge without the experience under your belt. I think I will wait a week I really want them buds to fatten up.

I'm learning that Space Buckets have their limitations. I'm not at flowering stage, but I'm amazed you have that size plant in your tiny little space bucket. Are you going to finish it outside the space bucket? With all that said, you have one beautiful looking plant.

Great yield on the auto! Any updates on dried weight? I have a couple BMs that are around 65 days old and thought I would be able to harvest by the end of this week but not so sure after comparing their progress to yours. This should be a breat reference guide!

@ChopChopJam, thanks man, got a few more days of drying yet but will update as soon as they are ready. I was aiming for this to be a good reference guide, hence all the photos everyday even when it became tedious work.

Nice Grow! In all I would say that your first grow was a success! You had a few issues, but even experienced growers have some of the same issues in their grows. I would be proud.
I hope my girl turns out as nice!

@Quexos, Thanks man. Yeah I'm very proud of her, just hope it was due to extensive research and not beginners luck and hope my next grow is as successful. I'm pretty sure yours will turn out good.

Just about everyone wants to harvest early; in fact, several harvests deep I myself always think they're done before they really are.
Generally speaking, harvest by trichomes gives you the most potent bud and (often) longest grow time to have more bulking and resin waves. This is why a high powered magnifier is suggested.
However, even going by the pistils, you want them to really start dying and turning orange... like 75%-100% of them
I reckon you've got a few weeks yet; but that's actually good; it will only get bigger and frostier as time goes on!

@Jaindoh, cheers man, it's so hard to judge I want to give her enough of a flush but obviously don't want to starve her if I don't need to. Do you think I should cut the nutes yet or give a bit longer? Thanks for your help.

I can see the difference from last week! The pictures show fuller buds. You are going to do zero flushing? That means nutes until you chop? Not even fresh water? I bought Flawless Finish from Advanced Nutrients for my flush. Supposedly it flushes the plant without starving it. That's kinda scary in my opinion. I had a buddy who was doing hydro. He was a newb, like us. He didn't flush plants before chop and his bud lit up like fireworks!

Absolutely brilliant diary to follow buddy, just about to start my first grow of 3 or 4 of these in coco with a 600w LED in a 1x1x2m tent. Doing it in my garage so had to play about to get the temps right which I believe I now have so gonna get started in the coming days.
If I can get even close to what you got I'll be a happy grower!

@BillyBoy86, I grew a second one of these using canna coco a+b and canna PK 13/14 in a 8ltr fabric pot and got 3.66oz from it. So she can yield pretty good. Also the second plant had literally no smell whilst growing and gives a nice high.

I have read this diary start to finish like 3x now. I am a first time grower using these genetics also in a space bucket. I'm on day 33 and 22". Thank you for your detailed record. It is really helpful to have something for comparison.
