Hi all - Just about to start indoor grow in a very sunny room - just gonna start with one plant. I've opted for 2 gallon felt pot and BioBizz light mix as some blogs suggest Allmix a bit too nute rich at the start. Any advice gratefully received. Do I need a light source or will sunlight do the trick? Plant is gonna be in a south facing window with direct sunlight all day - nervous about using light in case the neighbours spot the colour of it... All thoughts / guidance would be really appreciated. Thursday 4th = DAY 0 - Seed planted! think I might have screwed up already though as might be too deep .... will wait a few days and see what happens, got two more seeds if I need to try again 😂 Now onto buying a light....

You can obviously grow cannabis in natural sunlight.. but to optimize yields you want as much control over the environment as possible, air flow, light cycles, humidity, etc. I’m assuming you’re growing inside because it’s too cold to grow outside, which likely also mean you have limited daylight hours. If you were to run an auto on a 12 hr light cycle you’d get dramatically lower yields than 16/8. If it’s warm enough and the sun is up enough hours of the day, the best place to grow would be outside. The humidity in your house is also likely lower than optimal 30-40% rather than ~60% so you’ll get less vigorous vegetative growth.

I had to start again as heating broke down during first germination attempt! So this is day 5 from planting the seed! Now turned on the light, but wondering how often I should water and how much to add....

hey there, i have to disagree with everyone here. you dont need more than 50ml twice a day or once a day sometimes. right now the seedling doesnt have big roots so anyway if you water the pot it doesnt touch the plant. just slowly water. Spray up to six times a day with plain water to keep up the humidity ... at this stage it should be close to 70% . Anyway after the seedling stage you adjust your watering, keep spraying until the fourth set of leafs. It's all about getting the right Vapour pressure deficit and following a strict wet dry cycle. Hope this helps ! 🚀

So this is 8 days after sprouting - now 3” tall and the second pair of proper leaves is starting to develop - still just misting it regularly and watering it lightly (100ml) every 48 hours. Looked a bit droopy in these pics but has perked up nicely this aft.... .... thoughts now turning to when to start nutes and how long before starting LST....??? Look

Don't compare your grow to anybody elses, ever! There are too many factors involved with growing that can influence growth rates, and the genetics of YOUR seed, in YOUR set up and with YOUR techniques will always be different to every other single Quick One ever grown or will be grown. Each and every seed is an unique individual organic being and no two "Quick Ones" will ever be identical. Besides, is week 2 eight days or 14 days?? Watering every day is not necessary, water only once the top inch or so is dry, too much water at an early age can cause a soggy substrate that then prevents good oxygen exchange between the limited roots and the air, which can slow growth. Hope this helps,......... Organoman.

As it’s first grow and I gave up on LST, no idea how this is going to pan out - watering 1.5l every 2 or 3 days. Now getting small white bumps/hairs on some fan leaves - no idea if that’s an issue or not??

Hi mate, Nothing to worry about there, just some trichomes coming to say hello. They will appear all over the plant in full flower. You can make cannabutter, hash or resin from the trim so every bit counts. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing.

Hey all, first grow seems to be going ok, despite me being clueless! Now at 8 weeks and 2 days and wondering how long I’ve got left? RQS say 9-10 weeks total. Still a bit to go - only a few hairs turning brown but would really value input on when to stop nutes? Thanks

A while yet matey I would say about 4 weeks by my eye but maybe anohter grower can give you a better time frame but too me she seems like she has a fair way to go yet. Sorry probably not the answer you wanted. Though I will say shes looking very healthy your doing a great job. Keep up the awesome work. the best tool us growers have always has been and always will be Patience :)

Sugar leaves on main cola look to be browsing dying at tips as well. Been feeding just water for last 3 weeks or so… Any ideas??? Any ideas folks

Hi mate, not entirely sure but this really looks like a nutrient lockout. Mostly old growth has gone and new growth is starting. That is probably the reason she is not maturing. Although, you don't mention the kind of light you are using so you may need a more powerful light to get the results you want. I would check your pH and EC levels of the soil and adjust as needed. I hope this hekos, good luck and happy growing

Now dried and curing, can’t wait to smoke some of it. Wasn’t too precise on trimming as I intend to make edibles with most of it. Got about 35g of bud and 15g of dried trim for making edibles too just hope it makes for a good stone … was a big learning curve as first grow but I enjoyed it.
