Was gifted some plants to see what I can do.

[Joshx]

As the title. Just after about of info or people first insight as to what stage the plants are at. And relative information!

I’m new to growing but I’ve taking in a lot of information. I just don’t know the start lift of these guys. I got them given at an early veg stage but with been autos(I have 2 name tags. No idea which is which) anyway here they are!

Blackberry Gum and Banana purple punch (both auto from my research)

I’ve got progression photos of my set up from the makeshift cool box on day when when the plants got dropped on me last minute. Had abit of torture environment due to house move etc! So they arnt looking terrible (obv that little guy is special in his own way! We won’t judge him here) but yeh I’m new to growing. No prior knowledge but learnt a lot since early September when I got the 2 plants
The 3rd on is my first seed but again conditions have effected growth I think but from the other day it’s getting its self better since I got its environment sorted.
Few more days hopefully life is back on full swing!

i dont think this is gonna work buy some seeds and start with that

 

[Jamdown]

Have those plants rooted ?
Autos?

Autos?

Yeah rooted (well big one is the other isn’t stable but was used for experience and was a way to pull my finger out and get set up going! Haha)

I’ve got seeds and just starting them now I have the set up sorted and moved etc

 

[Joshx]

When I first got them in early September. I had no notice so had to Work with what I had and then upgrade expand as I’ve

I recommend you use photo seeds instead of autos, if you are new to growing cannabis. Autos aren't forgiving. They leave zero room for error. Learning the basic needs of the true plant will help you grow autos down the road if you want.

These plants, regardless of how tiny, are already in the flowering stage.

I understand these plants were giving to you. Just don't base your ability to grow this plant on autos. Not how it works.

Maybe not. But it’s my way to learn from what I have while I’ve been researching and getting the correct set up.

Am I expecting yieldsv?No just Knowledge and experience to help further my future grow.
I’ve got white widow XXL photo seeds currently germinating (3 just to give me a chance to get through a full grow of I’m to run into issues )

Just wanted abit of help with the harvest for what it’s worth. I prefer to atleast trial run with a real plant when I don’t care about the outcome. All fun!

Appreciate your inputs I got them early veg check photos above
Due l to environmental changes for the plant with moving a lot with set up upgrades etc It obv stunted the growth haha. But yeah I got them early veg and yes flowering smell great and have took good shape since I got the home sorted for them consistently

Even photos growth would be affected by you switching the environment & lighting. Autos you won't stand a chance with, as you can see by the status of your plants.

There are a few auto growers on here. I suggest you check out their grow diaries, so you can see what their plants look like.

Not trying to be negative Nelly either. Just the reality of the plant. I agree with someone else about starting over.

Jesus... I know you dont care about them as you said but for me is sad to look at them, put them out of their missery and dont waste more time with them, smoke the buds if you want but yes, listen to the people, those plants are a waste of your time when you could be growing photos from seed. I dont know what you or your friend did to those plants but sweet mother of Jesus... Is the 1 bud plant a culting from an auto?

If you can take anything from this is dont feed small plants too much, theyre completely obliterated by nute toxicity. When the tips start to yellow and its not only on the top part of the plant it means you gave them a bit too much food, if they crisp it means you kept doing it and it will keep expanding for as long as you over feed them. Thats to identify P toxicity, for K toxicity you will see yellowing on the edges of the leaves and eventually the whole leaf. For nitrogen toxicity the leaves will deform and curl and claw. You have 2 out of 3 and I dont know if you have potassium toxicity aswell because theyre in too bad shape to tell honestly. I dont mean to offend you by any means I know youre a new grower and is not your fault, that was never gonna end well, but yes, besides buying seeds watch out with the nutes, the doses that come in the bottle are usually for big plants, you should follow a feeding chart but then again it wouldnt have worked with those plants because they didnt have time to grow properly.

No offence taken! It’s a learning curve im
Well aware that usually there is the uphill climb before success haha. But yeah the start over has started! Blackwiddow xxl photo seeds currently germinating.

As for ending there life I move house in 2 weeks so they will be harvested then if possible, if not I’ll do it before.
I’ve considered all factors and strictly told myself no expectation just see if I can uphold there life and ive noted all my needed information to take forward with feeds etc! I think ive underwatered often due to not understanding the cocoperlite utilisation of been wet isn’t like soil wet so to speak.

Hopefully when these seeds germinate I can keep ontop of the correct dose of nutes
Thanks for taking the time to help

Cheers mate. I understand totally that these plants are just what they are.
black widow xxl photo seeds currently germinating as I type. Couple days I can update if people can help as problems present it would be great!. Limited to what seeds I have available atm though

 

[Organic13]

Sure, man.

When those new seeds get germinated, start a new thread under "Grow diaries."

I'm on here often, but I'm not an expert. Feel like ones needs years of growing under their belt before given that title.

I'm glad you understand not much can be done with your current plants.

Yeah I will do that. Be easier to keep a log when I’ve got just 2-3 of the same strain and plant age . Not a guess mark of what things are when I didn’t know the basic information to start with

I’ve enjoyed making it apart of my daily route and if I’m honest it given me a good boost in life for my own growth also!

I recommend keeping a paper journal. I thought my grow diary here would be that, but information gets lost in the convo. I wouldn't start a grow without a paper journal now. From start to finish, when fed, watered, how much of each, all the way down to how much you were able to harvest from each plant. It can also help you see what works best for the plants.

I put a few plants in different soil to see which did best. Because I kept a journal, I now know which soil and amendments will work best.

This forum is excellent for problem solving and getting others input especially if new to growing.

Welcome to the farm, Josh.

Ive got exactly that! Ppm/ph/temp used each feed. All temps monitors. Light umpol and automatic air system with weekly numbers taken. I’ve went very over the top for how crap these are but I do thing correct and throughly. But I’ve got paper journel, grow Jane app just because I like to keep a look see on my phone haha.

I’ll definitely be using this when I run into any sign of issue! It’s already proving a great community!. Will most likely see my posts daily
