Very easy in veg. Got harder in flowering. Had mold issues. But the plants pulled thru mostly.

I overdried the weed in fear of mold. Which appeared none the less. Which confuses me a little. Not sure if it was there to start with or it appeared during the dry. Plas: 180g Pretty dense buds. First one to cut. Overdried so not as pungent smell like the rest. Primus: 172gr Quite bushy plant. More “indica”smell than the others. Found a tiny spot of mold in one of the colas. Jelly: 162g Bud rot appeared on all main colas that I dried. 6/8 that remained after the first appeareance of bud rot and chop. The most fruity smelling of the bunch. Plis: 221g The biggest of the bunch. Beautiful crown shape. Fruity and pine smell. No bud rot appeared on this one. But did “hermie” more than the rest. Creating a lot of “bananas” Overall pretty happy with the result for a first grow. Followed the mainline tutorials found online and got quite impressive results. I didn't find one for the flowering process, which I think I should have trimmed even more lower branches, stems,....to lollipop the plants even more. Went from a 2x2 to a 4x4. From a smaller 1000w COB (which felt like 150w) to 2 of them (which still wasn't enough for a 4x4) to a GeakBeast 600w (which I'm pretty happy with) I feel like the plants could have used a bit more space. Next time I might try and do 3 plants. To have a bit more control over the environment too. Also I don’t think I’ll be flowering in the peak of the summer anymore. Rookie move. 😅 Very good learning experience. Looking forward to the next. PD: As my weed overdried I laid it in a tray in my grow tent with humidity at 60/65%. Prob messed the curing process but it's a good moisture for smoking.

Tuclistarted grow question 5 years ago
How do I choose which plants to keep in the tent? I’d like to keep 2 of the 4. The other 2 will go outdoor in 20 days. So might top again 2 the right have been growing thicker. Bushier, a bit bigger fan leaves. But a bit slower. 2 on the left skinnier, longer braches. A bit quick

hi, i would choose depending on the strain.. i guess you're limited by height, so i would also suggest taking the ones that grow taller/are more on the sativa side (they usually grow taller) and move them outside. they will get stretchier anyways, and then you'll have more space (if vertical space is a limitation) else i'd also look whether all of your strains are meant for outdoors.. some don't really like that (with most it doesn't matter)

Im planning on giving 2 plants to a friend (exterior) and keeping 2. Currently they are on 18/6. I’ve read June is the best time to take them out. And that I should “sync” my lights with the exterior sunlight. Can I reduce to 16/8 and not have my plants start flowering?

Hello! Yes you can take them outside and you don't need to sync anything. The day you put them outside will just have a little bit longer day or night for one day and then its synced. When you do this just be sure not to give 12hrs or more of uninterrupted darknes 'cos that is when the plants start to flower. So for the other question: Yes they will continue their vegetation with 16/8 lights cos like I said the plant will start to flower only when there is 12hrs of complete darkness. I've read tho that some strains might flower with 14/10 but not sure about this

How much should I defoliate? I already removed the first node that grew after the last topping. But the second node is now very cramped in there. Should I just remove it and leave the 3rd, 4th and 5th node (growing now)

I wouldn't do any more toppings. What you want is to remove everything in the shade and under 3 nodes on each stem this will focus growth to the top 3or4 nodes of all your branches. And then in 3 weeks time make another assessment. 👍🌱

hey, defoliate leves only... prune underneath, maybe. probably don't want to "top" at this point at all unless you know you have enough time for it to grow back stronger.

I have found some mold in some main buds. (Too humid in my tent) I’ve cut them off. Anything else I can do to stop the spread? Apart from trying to get the humidity down?

Hello Your photos look great this week. You did good by pulling the buds out that have the mold so it won't further . Id go in and do a good defoliation, less leaves less transpiration, lowers humidity. Then increase the airflow all around the buds heavily, open any extra ports for fresh air. If you don't have an exhaust or intake i would get some usefu?

@Tucli,certamente :) ma ho assaggiato qualcosa che riesce ad arrivare qua in Italia e davvero siamo su due mondi differenti.Lo strain era Oz Kush .Penso l'erba più buona mai fumata in vita mia.E visto che te l'ho menzionata ti dico anche la banca semi:Dying Breed Seeds :) ovviamente regolari ovviamente introvabili :D
