OG Kush - First Grow

And so it ends! My first ever grow. What a ride this has been! Especially with medical issues I’ve had recently, it feels like I really have gone through a journey with these plants. And my harvest also just happened to coincide with me finally getting better and out of the woods! I really didn’t expect much when I started out here - I just happened to browse across a special online for a full grow tent kit, that was basically all I needed to start growing, and I decided to just jump in right there without knowing much else. I did eventually try and learn as much as I could before the seeds arrived, but it was still pretty nerve racking! I think I eventually got a lot more comfortable with my plant, and decided to experiment with pretty much everything I could. So a bit of LST, topping, a lot of defoliation, and my first DIY scrog net. It was also a very short grow, so I never really got to try enough of each method to truly get the benefits, but I definitely reached my main goal of learning as much as I could! I think I have a fairly good idea of how my next grow timeline will go, and just knowing that makes me excited! My light was also not the greatest, but I’m actually very impressed with what I ended up with from a free 300w dual spectrum CFL. The OG Kush especially demonstrated the lack of penetration from the CFL - I’m definitely going with either an LED or Cob next grow. In fact, I’m so hooked, I’ve decided to rip out the entire cupboard my grow tent is housed in, and rebuild a multi chamber veg/clone/flower hybrid lighting system, so I can constantly rotate plants and get a few clones going. And more importantly, sort out my ventilation and current cramped conditions of the equipment. In the end, after learning as much as I could (even how to make some honeycomb bho :), I was left with 3 goals to reach that I added along the way. 1. Successfully reach the end of my first harvest - definitely got there :) 2. Fill up 3 of the little glass jars you see in my pics - they usually hold about 10g, so I was hoping for 30g basically. Ended up with 20g of OG kush and 9g of GDP, and I was also very liberal with what I called popcorn buds, so enough trim to get me 2g of honeycomb extract. And by shear volume, I could have filled up 4 jars, so another goal reached :) 3. And as a last, final, completely out there goal - grow some of, if not the best weed I’ve ever smoked. I specifically got these seeds based on the strains reputation and specifically the reviews for the Dinafem strain, and I’ve never smoked OG Kush before, so I had hope.. It’s still too soon to call, I’d need to give it a much longer cure, but if you read my strain review above, I think this could just be the one! So that’s it for now, might be a while till my next diary because I’m going a bit mad scientist with my grow space first. But I’ll definitely be back. Thank you to everyone who helped me and just gave me such great encouragement and support! Happy growing!
