First time grow. From winter prep to first season harvest

[dman049162]

I just started growing last year and I am totally addicted to it last year was out door did very good for the first time but lost a few to bud rot
This year I'm going all in on build a soil and got a tent setup in the basement much more controlled also eight brothers are sending me seeds so I want to record everything

You've got a forest there! Love it!

I’m pretty sure all your photos will be ripe pretty much all together, maybe spaced by a week or two. Autos I have no idea, never grew any. All seeds have some kind of approximate flowering time, it don’t mean anything. Weather and disease will dictate picking time. If I remember you are upstate in Plattsburgh, that’s just outside the attic circle!

Been a bit since ive updated but the two girls ive got going are starting to spread their wings and seemingly are doing well. Not sure of their size compared to others the same age however. I think im a week into seedling stage(could be off on age) pictures are with this post.

How do yall think they look?

Kinda shooting from the hip so I have hopefully enough to get me through my spring summer outdoor grow and harvest.

Look OK! Try and take your pictures under a different light or maybe even a flash! So we get a better idea of what they actually look like color wise! Purple screws that up! Could move them out under natural light long enough to take a picture till they get bigger!

Havent posted in a bit. Got me a vivosun smart humidifier the other day and immediately put it to use. Im able to track temp, humidity(kicks on and off as needed) and vpd. Im beyond excited to make this so.much simple. Especially for the minimal cost difference compared to a more basic humidifier in store near me.


I think these two girls are looking good...what do yall think?

Yep! The shape looks OK!

Check in the girls have seemed to adapted to their final pot well. They havent died yet. Lol. I did my absolute best to not disturb the roots(theyre both autos) by carefully cutting the compost pots in 4 spots on the sides and one on the bottoms. Then gently placed the pots in the middle and built up around it. Hows everyone think they're look...im trying to get better pictures but lack of adequate lighting in my basement is making it difficult. Ill have to locate a flashlight to help.

Look OK! You’ve got about 35 days, maybe more maybe less, till they flip! You better kick them in the ass! Tick,tick,tick!

 

[dman049162]

Finally remembered to grab a flashlight when i went down to check on my girls and all the equipment. Now that there is supplemental lighting to better show them off whats everyone think?

Also parameter swings from opening a tent...I dont think it will but will it play a factor? Im only opening the tent enough to allow myself to reach in, see and do what i need at the moment.

Thanks all!

So I got a new light today, dual switch 415w. Now that the lighting is better what does everyone think? I feel like theyre small. Autoflowers. Cherry pie from rq and pineapple og from humbolt.

Nope! The color is still way off! Makes it hard to see what’s going on other than the size and shape! You just can’t take pictures under certain lights! You may have to grab them carry them upstairs out onto the patio set them on a table and take pictures of them! It won’t hurt them! This is more along the lines of what a picture should look like! Thank you, Canna, for your generous donation! Whether you know it or not! Lol!

 

[Oldchucky]

And I agree with you! For a 21 day old auto, they are small! So you may want to get ready to pop a few more and get them going! But you’re gonna have to do something different because that isn’t working! But hang in there! Eventually, it will be like childplay, but you have to pay your dues! Right now you are out 20 bucks for seed and three weeks! That ain’t shit! Do your best to encourage them along and see what you get, but I would get a Plan B started!

 

[dman049162]

Check in day.

My brother thinks im doing just fine and stated to me that i am right on par with a decent grow. He's grown more than me...not a guru by any means but has more knowledge than me and assured me im doing everything correct. Might not be the biggest or best but that im not wasting my time.

On a huge plus side, he gave me a shit load of seeds from a few plants hes grown and harvested. Feminized amnesia haze seeds! Told me to use them to experiment and learn with. He most definitely gave me more than 20 seeds(im thinking somewhere around 30+).

Over all im happy to finally see consistent positive movement even though theyre not getting much taller but getting bushier. Knowing autos dont always get tall im trying to think positively. Having ptsd from being in a terrible state agency i tend to think negatively...which im trying to change...hence my want to grow. Form of both medicine and therapy.

 

[dman049162]

Not much change. Today was just a physical check in on them and to photograph their day to day growth. It's keeping me from getting too nervous. I keep worrying about their height but I gotta remember that being autos and indoor they wont get that tall

Should be seeing some action in the next few weeks! Hang, tough! Maybe they’ll put on a spurt! At worst, you are getting an education!
