The buds are growing bigger still and the tent is really starting to smell, the stems have turned red from being close to the grow lights and my center buds have foxtailed, i now know for future runs to stay more on top of training so the plant cant grow as tall. pistils are starting to turn, If i had to guess I would say 11 weeks seems like an accurate flowering time I have also let them get dry a few times.

During a beautiful spring evening somewhere in May, the idea came to me to choose for a new hobby. And because I enjoy gardening very much and also like to smoke a joint, I decided that night to try to grow my own weed. And I also wanted to challenge myself to grow the best weed I possibly can. That's when I started to read up on all the facets of growing cannabis. From materials to technique, from strains to the anatomy of the plant, I prepared myself for at least 2 months before even one seed went into the soil. And partly because of this thorough preparation, I can now say to myself afterwards that this is the maximum I managed to get out of it. And the great thing about all this is that after these past 4 months I have learned so much more! Therefore I already know for sure that my next grow will be even better. Below some tips for my fellow newbies, they might help you during your own grow... Material In addition to the lamp, the tent and the right nutrients, which I commented on above, I have benefited a lot from a humidifier and dehumidifier over the past 4 months. Especially in the first weeks of growth, a humidifier is very useful so that you can keep the humidity around 60% (or what the VPD chart tells you depending on the temperature). During the flowering phase it is very useful to use a dehumidifier so that the humidity remains below 50% and at the end of the growth even close to 40%. That way you also exclude the risk of mold and bud rot. It is also useful to use these devices during the drying process so that you can keep the humidity around 60% and dry your weed slowly (at a temperature of around 15.5 Celsius, drying takes about 14 days). Drying slowly and coolly definitely benefits the smell and taste! What's also really a must are an EC and pH meter, without these 2 instruments it is actually not possible to realize a perfect grow. Make sure you use a reputable brand like Apera, they are a bit more expensive but always deliver spot on. In total I invested about 1500 euros in material on my first grow. This is also because I wanted to do it perfectly and therefore only went for quality products. But all in all I think I earn back my investment within 2 runs, taking into account that both my friends and I will never run out of a joint 😊 Seeds Good genes are important to ultimately achieve a good end result. Therefore, do not save on the seeds and buy them from a reputable breeder. That way you can be sure that you will grow strong and healthy plants that can withstand pests and other negative influences. Well begun is half done and this is especially true when growing cannabis. Technique Of all the training techniques I have used, I would like to specifically mention one that surprised me the most: Supercropping! Because I did this grow using the ScrOG method, I wanted to create as even a canopy as possible. The type of lamp I use is also most suitable for this method. But no matter how well you train your plants, they will eventually stretch unevenly during the first weeks of flower. I therefore snapped about 8 stems using Supercropping, which made my canopy nice and even again in a way that each branch gets the same amount of light. And the colas on those branches turned out SUPER nice! Also the nuggets beneath were growing bigger because they too got more light. I will certainly use this technique even more in my next grow! Will I will definitely use a diary again I will definitely use VPD charts again I will definitely use a feeding schedule again I will definitely turn my light on during the day and off during nighttime again I will definitely use the ScrOG method again I will definitely choose a feminized American strain again I will definitely use a webcam again (Wyze Cam) I will definitely defoliate even more during the 4th week of flowering I will definitely go higher on lollypopping I will definitely Supercrop more I will definitely dry my plants slowly and cool again (15 days at 60% RH and 15,5 C) I will definitely continue to learn more and prepare myself even better for my next grow again 👊 Won't I will certainly not water my seedlings too much again 😅 I will certainly not go for 3 plants again, but instead for 4 plants per m2 I will certainly not hesitate to ask experienced growmies for help again 🙏 (next week I'll comment on the bud dry weight and give my final smoke experience)

Poor Skunk Apple really is the runt of the litter. I think we can blame my rookie mistake of giving it a gallon of water that was way too strong. It's been struggling to recover ever since. Hopefully this little guy will catch up eventually, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet! I can't believe how much my plants have grown during this stretch! It's like they've been on some serious plant steroids. They've all at least doubled in size, some of them even more. I have a hard time with overwatering, especially now that it's harder to let them dry out. I just don't know if I'm damaging the roots with all this growth.

Hoy quiero compartir mis pensamientos sobre el estado de mis plantas. Sinceramente, quería creer que no habían sufrido mucho por el frío, pero desafortunadamente la realidad resultó ser diferente. Algunas de ellas parecen un poco deprimidas y su crecimiento se ha ralentizado. Pero no me doy por vencido y sigo esforzándome por su recuperación. Además, no me gusta el régimen de luz que se ha utilizado desde el inicio de la siembra de las semillas, 12/12. La próxima vez utilizaré 18/6. Espero que esto ayude a estimular su crecimiento y desarrollo. Ayer empecé a darles a las plantas PK13/14 en una dosis de 1 ml/l y Diamond Nectar en una dosis de 2 ml/l. Espero que estos aditivos les ayuden a obtener los nutrientes necesarios y a estimular el proceso de floración y crecimiento. A pesar de algunas dificultades, no me doy por vencido y sigo cuidando de mis plantas. Creo que con el cuidado adecuado y las condiciones apropiadas, podrán superar las dificultades y crecer saludables y fuertes. Sigo siendo optimista y seguiré creciendo junto con ellas.

Day 37 - Everything looks good.... they are drinking so much.... i built a bit more stable light setup, and i'll need to buy afew more plugs and stuff, to fill it out ...... i organised all the 2700k globes, ready to swap in..... still waiting on the exhaust fan, so i'll keep em in "grow" mode another week or 2 .... i'm vaping a leaf or 2, and drinking "green tea hot chocolates" .... it is so delicious in hot chocolate .... my health has picked up since starting the vape/drinks... the 21 thc/19 cbd is supa healthy ... Day 38 - Getting them ready for Flower, noticed they are lacking in nutrients, so i started em on the heavier dutch master gold flower nutrients. Day 40 - Added some pics. (they look droopy because they in night mode, just turned on lights for pic) - Started them on 12/12 flower, still working on getting all the lights, gear, and globes, for the right spectrum and amount of light.... atm got - 7x 2700k (click) , 2x 6400k (osram), + 60w light panel .... i'll go get some more gear today and hope to expand it to 10x 2700k , 2x 6400k ...... I put the exhaust filter fan on seperate power, so it doesn't go on/off with the timer, but stays on all the time.... it totally fixed up any odour problems, haha ....... Added some different pics for my light spectrum ... etc..... the outside winter temp is now at 40-60oF (5-15oC) so with the 12/12h, the temp inside the tent is dropping to 60-80oF (18-22oC), abit low, but flowering is supposed to be in winter, so idk, see how it goes..... I'm new to growing, so idk how this will work out....... just working it as i go.... i noticed afew spots on a leaf, so i upped the neuts abit more, they are still drinking like fish, huge amounts.... Day 40 late - new vids - Got the extra gear and installed it all... redesigned the initial setup, refined it with proper measurements, had to get my steel rule out, lol....... got the 12 leds in and running, 10x 2700k clicks, and 2x 6400k osrams, with the panel..... it's lookin beautiful and got the exhaust on 24 hrs now, all working perfect with 12/12 timer.... they are forming a few spots on leaves, so hammering the nute water into them now... they are drinkin 1-2 litre of nute water a day each.... (nute water = Dutch mater gold one grow/flower, 800-1000 ppm 6 PH) 😎 Some details about lights.... i did some maths on it, and included some handy pics..... because i'm using cheap leds, i'm keeping the distance at 25cm, they are leds so they won't burn, and it massively increases the lumens/lux/Par, and with my home built light setup, the leds are spread out enough to keep it lower.... worked out good..... something of note is that all the led globes are built/made in china... however different marketing/selling companies from around the world... and the german osrams are 1w leds ... by far the most superior, but anyone can design and send the requirements to china to build em, haha) it's not a contest, we all work together.... haha.... the person with the best led light globes gets my business, because i want the best for my babies.... :) (let me explain- 1w led vs 0.5 w led, the watt of the led projects the light, lumens, LX/PAR etc much further the higher the watt of the led....my 600w panel has 0.5w leds, the philips has 0.75, the osrams have 1w leds..... ) each globe philips (dutch)- 10.5w internal - 14 leds 0.75w 1055 lumens each globe osram (german)- 10.5w internal - 10 leds 1w 1080 lumens each globe click (cheap)- 9w internal - 16 leds 0.56w 800 lumens light panel - 70w - 600w 30 red - 8 red 12 blue - 8 white 7500k 1 ir - 1 uv = 20x blue 6400k - 38x red 2700k internal - 60 double leds - 120x0.5w 6000 lm

Was a lovely plant from start to finish. Very manageable and very much an Indica through and through. I'd probably defoliate and lollipop a little more if i was to grow this strain again.

Everything on the readings seem well. Plant two seems to be having some kinda nutrition issue. I'm not sure what it is on the first set it leaves. Plant one is seeming to be super strong, healthy, and green. Gonna just keep watching the water levels and ph and keep on trucking.

Finally chopped down and harvested. My best plant yet and that was all thanks to homegrown genetics for these killer genetics. If you haven't tried this guy yet, I absolutely beg you to. You will not be disappointed The Terps are straight Dank Ripe Black Cherry, that Superboof orange rind/hashy funkiness, and sum really nice earthy hash notes from the Pure Michigan. All comes together and almost reminds me of a really deep earthy cherry pie with a very slight Superboof orange influence. Very black cherry/Cherry Candy heavy. But not traditional "candy" you see now days. All around 10/10, I will be running Apple Junky and Garlic Applez next!

I love the sativa shaped nug-towers! When my plants grow big, I like to grow them until the very end of their cycle! That's why the extended flower period. Video of Measurement of yield: T=Tops(92grams), M=Mids(59.1 grams), L=Lowers(58.6grams) Total: 209.7 grams (1-2 grams worth, was taste-tested prior to scaling.)

Hola a todos! Espero que anden bien!!.. Les comento que hice esta semana, la he regado con agua un riego y el último hoy, con nutrientes en sus dosis indicadas más arriba. La planta ha crecido mucho esta semana 37cm en 7 días, ha pegado el estirón, y también han mostrado sus preflores. Esta semana he tenido una humedad alta 70% y no la he podido bajar,pero con humedad y una temperatura que ha rozado los 28 grados por momentos, he notado que las plantas les gusta ese ambiente, por eso el crecimiento que ha pegado. Hoy (17/09 ) ,dia 35, de la Auto Divine Rapier he quitado las hojas más grandes que tapaban las ramas bajas, espero que en este momento no estrese la planta. Bueno, no los aburro más, nos vemos la próxima semana!. Buenos humos!! Las imágenes corresponden al periodo del 10/09 hasta el 17/09 (dia 35) inclusive.
