Hi everyone! This is my first time growing. I planted two seeds of Red Critical (BSF) and two seeds of American Pie (Pyramid) in four different pods. I put the seeds in water for 2 or 3 hours and then directly into the soil. Around the 3rd or 4th day, all of the plants had already germinated.

All the plants started growing faster this week. I had to move the light a few centimeters up because the tip of two leaves from one of my American Pie started to get yellow, I think it burned a little bit. But after that, everything has gone better.

This week everything was going fine until... Today I noticed some little white-yellow spots on one of the leaves in one of my American Pie. I've been trying to do some research but I'm not sure yet what it might be. I hope to get an answer today and do something about it this afternoon. What would you recomend? ---- Update: The plants are ok now, the one with the problem in it's leave continued growing ok and the spots didn't expand. I'm optimistic. The growth has been very fast this past two days. I also started LST on day 19.

Today I woke up to a terrible news. One of the leaves of one of my American Pie has small whithe-yellow dots. I can't see any eggs and there are no holes yet. I've been doing some research but I haven't found answers yet. What may it be? What can I do to prevent a bigger problem?

Did you check the undersides of the leaves for spidermites? You'll need a magnifying glass to see them. If you do, mix a little dawn soap and water and spray the undersides and top of leaves. Wont hurt anything. Cheers

Last week of Veg. The plants are getting bigger and stronger each day. I adjusted the stems with LST two times this week. I didn't had any problem with the leaves like last week. I'm happy to see them grow well, what do you think about them?

The flowers are finally getting bigger! Now I'm anxious to be able to taste them. The smell of the indoor is incredible and the two strains have very different scents.

I'm starting to lower the fertilization of the plants because I will clean the roots in two more weeks. The flowers are getting very sticky and the smell is even more intense.

I started this week with the last fertilization because on day 63 I cleaned the roots. I just used 11 lt of tap water and gently watered the plants one by one. The Red Critical smells very sweet, kind of like gum. The American Pie smells like fresh lemon. the flowers look really nice.

The flowers were very nice and smelly. Every time I gave some to my friend they were very impressed about the quality of my buds. I'm happy with the result.

This was my first harvest so I knew I was on a learning path and my result wasn't going to be perfect. However, I really hopped that Red Critical flowers would get red or purple like the packaging said but that didn't happen. The flowers were good, though. The high I got from this weed was very strong, narcotic and fun. I would recommend this strain.

The hight that this flowers gave me was super fun. It made me laugh and very energetic. I didn't expect this flower to be my favorite one in this harvest and it was. The only bad thing was that it gave me a very small amount of weed, but I think that it was my fault. I would recommend the strain.

This plants were smaller that expected and the buds were small too. However, the high the flowers gave me was top quality. I would give this strain another shot to see if I'm able to do it better next time.
