Welcome to my first grow! This is something I’ve wanted to do since I was a teenager. I waited 20 years for this day. Wish me luck! I’m starting with Blackberry Auto by FastBuds. 100% organic. KindSoil + Coco Loco + carbon filtered tap water. Absolutely no synthetic fertilizers or chemicals! As for training, I will top her in week 3 and start LST shortly after. I’ll keep her nice and tidy with occasional defoliation. My setup consists of: β€’ Spider Farmer 3x3x6 tent β€’ Spider Farmer SF-4000 LED β€’ AC Infinity S4 Inline Fan β€’ AC Infinity 4” Carbon Filter β€’ AC Infinity S9 Airplate (suspended above drivers) β€’ Genesis 6” Clip Fan (x2) β€’ SensorPush Wireless Hygrometer Growing medium: β€’ 5 gallon fabric smart pot β€’ 5lbs of KindSoil in bottom of pot β€’ Topped off with FoxFarm Coco Loco on top Day 1: Welcome to the world! πŸ€— She finally broke through the surface overnight and almost dried up. 😧 Luckily, the plastic cup was over her and still had a tiny bit of moisture left by the time I woke up. That was a close call! I gave her a nice big drink of room temperature carbon filtered tap water. Day 2: I gave her two small drinks today. I’m trying to keep her roots consistently damp during these early days without overwatering. She seems to be doing perfectly fine with her 2nd set of true leaves already starting to develop! Day 3: The end of day three and she’s happy as can be! 😊 I lightly watered twice again today. Her leaves are already filling up with trichomes! 🀩 After researching, I believe they are specifically β€œbulbous” trichomes. I’ll get a microscope soon to confirm this. Enlarge today’s photo to see them! Day 4: Lost power at the end of the day while she was in her normal dark period, but the light would have normally turned back on by now so hopefully the power is back soon! πŸ™ Day 5: The power has been out for more than 24 hours now. Her normal 6 hour dark period turned into 11 hours of darkness before I hung a small LED flashlight over her. The flashlight was on her for another 9 hours, and then I was able to move her outside. Definitely not ideal, but she is loving the sunshine. β˜€οΈ She’ll have to stay outdoors for now. Day 6: She started day 6 outside and was moved back into the tent after the power finally came back on. I’ll get her back into her normal 18/6 light schedule. She’s been getting one drink per day. Day 7: Very pleased with the progress at the end of week one. She is looking great. The 2nd set of fan leaves are developing nicely and the 3rd node is already starting to show! The ride got a little bumpy because of the power outage, but that didn’t seem to faze her. Looking forward to week #2. Thank you for following along on my first grow!

@Doktorholland, I hope so! Monster is what I’m aiming for haha. 🐲

@Automaniac,this plant be a monster
Automaniac
Automaniac
@Doktorholland, yes, for now. This way I don’t have to worry about upgrading my light when I decide to grow more plants at a time or when I get a larger tent. In the meantime, I could always dim it if needed. 😎

That's a huge amount of light for one plant, are you sure it's not the sf1000? Would be the reason why she's not stretching...
Automaniac
Automaniac
@Fruitgrower, we’ll see how it turns out in the end. πŸ˜‰ She seems very healthy. And very good progress compared to other diaries of this strain in soil.
Fruitgrower
Fruitgrower
@Automaniac, that's very excessive bro. As I said before this will be the reason she's droopy and not stretching how you'd like. πŸ‘Just an observation
Automaniac
Automaniac
@Fruitgrower, yes it’s the SF-4000. 😎 It’s pulling 454 watts from the wall. I have photos of the light and setup under Week 1.

Looking great! Humidity is low though, i'd bump it up to the higher 50s! My first girls were more droopy with 40% RH due to makeshift closet and once i got a proper setup and 50%+ they were mad perky n stoked! Otherwise making really great headway into the beautiful girls! πŸ‘½

@xbabybitchx, thanks! I recently started watering every 3rd day. At the 3rd day, the pot feels very light and the top inch or two is almost completely dry. 64 ounces of water at the 3rd day wets the soil thoroughly, but not so much where there is runoff. I think the watering is dialed in now. πŸ™‚ She is always droopy when the lights come on, but she eventually perks up very nicely about halfway into the day period and stays perky until the lights go out. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@Automaniac, OK so i'm still also a noobie, this is my 4th grow, But when I look back at your previous posts some things stand out. You are watering pretty frequently and your heat is high. Plants can get droopy n sad when over watered as well as underwatered. Sticky line to walk haha. I would try increasing your humidity as well as letting her dry out a bit more between watering just to see if there is any change. My first grow I thought iIwasn't watering enough and turns out I actually was drowning her. Good luck!!!! :)
Automaniac
Automaniac
@xbabybitchx, thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it. πŸ™‚ I thought about humidity too. The humidity inside the tent rises to 55% for 6 hours while the lights are off. However, the plant droops even more so during that time, so I thought maybe low humidity isn’t what is causing the drooping in my case. Thoughts?

Was the bud airy?? Did you bud wash or something to increase wet weight ? I’m just blown away by the 28 oz wet weight to 3.5 oz dry.. it lost 87.5% in dry and cure, damn. gorgeous buds tho! Congrats
Ezzjaybruh
Ezzjaybruh
@Automaniac, that makes sense.. I’ve learned the hard way and lost a few ounces to mold going in jars too quick, even with a huge boveda bag in there .. makes sense!! Amazing looking buds tho like I said!
Automaniac
Automaniac
@Ezzjaybruh, this was my first grow and I was so worried about the buds getting moldy that I erred on the side of caution and ended up drying the buds a tad bit longer than I should have. They have been curing for 2 months and still seem a bit too dry. The smoke is still a pleasure, but looking back the yield would have certainly been heavier if I popped them into the jars a day or two sooner.

I agree with GreenBean / be careful not to overwater. As I learnt from a pro on this community, if the leaves are drooping and look puffy between the veins you have almost certainly overwatered her.
Automaniac
Automaniac
@Tripledrop, it’s also worth mentioning that she starts drooping while in the dark period and then perks up again, every day, about 10-12 hours after the lights come back on. From what I’ve read, it’s not uncommon to have droopiness during lights out. Just not sure why it would take her 10-12 hours to perk back up after the lights come back on.
Automaniac
Automaniac
@Tripledrop, great tip on looking for puffiness between the veins. Thank you! 😎 She is really starting to grow very fast now. Looking at some LST soon.
