Hi Guys this is my first ever grow and really appreciate any help advice along the way. Week one. Planted 3 Bubble Bomb and 1 Grand Daddy Purple. Lost one Bubble bomb as sprouted with seed case still on. Attempt to save it but was too late. Had a few heat issue and then I over over watered them, caused curling of the leaves as you can see in some pics. Humidifier and new fan purchased issue went away. Re potted into final 45loter pot when I over watered, I know I should of let the roots ball for longer in the smaller pots. Grand Daddy Purple is the smaller of the 3

Week 2 still not feed anything as the medium provides 2 weeks of nutrients. Since the humidifier and new fan I’ve had no heat issue and no more curling of the leaves. In the last few pics I have topped the 3 plants. Will start nutrients from Monday. Coca a and b.

So week 3..... I decided I want to attempt to mainline my plants into either 4 or 8 colas. Obviously since I had no idea what I was doing apart from a YouTube video I SNAPPED my Granddaddy Purple plant 😩 I was absolutely gutted but.... she seems to be pulling through.

Week 6. Bubble Bombs are looking great tied them down again this week so within a few weeks I’ll add the tomato cage for them to grow around. Grand Daddy Purple has recovered for the snap, the half of the plant that was snapped is smaller then ther left half of the plant but I’m sure that’s just down to shock.

Well a tough week this week. Everything started ok but I increased the nutrients (A&B) the next thing I knew the plants went limp! After 24 hours of panicking thinking they were gonners it turns out they were under watered? I don’t understand how it happened all of a sudden? Obviously a complete Noob mistake 😩😳 Everyone made it through and there all happy again! Last few bits of trimming and lst done before the final 2 weeks or do of Veg.

Bad week this week! One of the bubble bomb Hermied. It literally happend overnight or I missed them but I check everyday! I killed the hermi straight away. I’m hoping I wasn’t too late but since I have found a bannan on the GDP and just one seed on its own on a lower branch. That was 5 days ago and there’s no other signs? Could they still be ok? Any advice welcome. Apart from that they look amazing and smell insane!

So unfortunately things look bad. Already found about 5 large seeds growing in the Bubble Bomb but nothing on the GDP yet but I’d imagine it will also be seedy bud. It’s my first grow so I am going to see it out till the end even if I get seedy bud some of the est buds I’ve smoked have had seeds in the bags so here’s hoping lol Any advice is welcome guys ....

But if a slow week tbh.... but within the last 24 hours the buds have got fatter and taller. Had a magnesium def but added a little cal mag and seems to have done the trick. The smell is amazing but starting to be a bit on top 😂. Anyone’s advice on how long they think the plants have left as I want to give them a 2 week flush

So I started noticing a lot of yellowing leaves early last week. After a lot of panic I flushed them as the soil ph was up to over 9? It’s always been fine? Just seemed to happen over night. All has been good since the flush! Actually think the growth has increased since the flush!
