420Captain first grow. How are they doing ?

trygrowup · Apr 19, 2026

That's a bit early for me to say but looks like 3 more than 2 weeks.
But the more weeks the more weight.
They put on some weight last in flower, it just slow but steady and not easy to see.

I feel it time to choose some leafs to dump. You could start with the ugliest and the deform ones first and see how it looks.
You also making us nervous with that humidity talk so dumping some leafs could help with that.
And i call 600g+ if you let some more light hit the inside.

420Captain · Apr 19, 2026

Yeah, i feel the same, maybe the queen is a few days faster then the widow's.

You talking about tent 1 to cut more leaf ? I would love to, is it smart to cut some more ?
I'm nervous to! Running the dehumidifier, cheaper then budrot
Really 600+? Just for the 1 tent ? I would guess between 400/450.

Because the end is in sight, starting to think about drying and trimming.
I've seen people dry the whole plant by hanging it upsidedown. But i only have a 80x80 drying tent. So would be smarter to wet trim and dry in these nets? :

Well i'm not the biggest defoiler but i'm guessing that now that you have feed your plants so well, you hardly lost any leafs.
What i normally do if i got too many leafs blocking i remove them through the grow.
The thing is the lower buds don't get as much direct light. But indirect light is not to be underestimated.
So even if you remove a leaf under the bud it will provide more light to the bud.
And i think it's safe to say that your grow is more dense than average.
My last grow also had 3 dense plants and i was a bit too late removing leafs.
I only got popcorn on one of them but still i would have had bigger secondary buds if i had removed some leafs a little earlier.

About the 600g. Don't get too hang up on what some random dude on the internet tells you.
He might even be a bot

Edit: oh yeah you gotta look forward to trimming. Absolutely the best part of growing.

420Captain · Apr 19, 2026

Yeah i should have kept up with the trimming. But lessens learned for next round.
You say it was to late for you to remove leafs, but i'm i on time for a leaf removal?
i'm also ready for a good amount of popcorn....

Dude, if it's less then 600gr, you should send me the difference!!
Everybody loves random dudes on the internet, right ?

I was thinking that but for your first grow this time it is going so well and you got a hold on a lot of things. So no need to over do it from start.

It's never too late but i should have done it earlier but it was a little messy grow.

Edit: Oh yeah i talked to the bank about refunding you. They said you only have to deposit 1000 euro that you will get back same day i pay you. That's how it works they say.

420Captain · Apr 19, 2026

Okay cool, i'll do some leaf removal tomorrow. I would feel a bit better when i have the feeling there is some good airflow.
Thank you sir!

Edit : Okay cool, that's easy! how can i send the money ?

trygrowup · Apr 19, 2026

Tent 2.

How's the calcium and magnesium levels? She might like a taste of that.

I don't know
On what tent you think they need some ?

ChairmanFester · Apr 20, 2026

The girls forming flower. It's the number one "did you remember to check..." usually.

420Captain · Apr 20, 2026

I'm new, remember . But tell me ? How and why ?
I'm just following nutrient schedule.

Widows! Widows! Widows!

JIMKSI64 · Apr 20, 2026

I have 2 areas set up in one tent but ya can't split humidity to much extent. The mainlines and widows are at 1.2 VPD which is just over 60% during the day but I train for airflow and we'll the mainlines are just now getting some vegetation.
At night though when the lights turn off I make sure the tent humidity entering is below 48%. Whether this means closed door with one dehuey or open with both. The transition is where a lot of depositing can happen as the tent goes down. I raise the duct one step and based on weather, temp and the darn watering status on 5 plants get the settings done. It would cost a lot of money to automate this function.

ChairmanFester · Apr 20, 2026

You can sort of get targeted dehumidification with oven dried out Epsom salts.

420Captain · Apr 21, 2026

Another question,

We talked about harvest date, and that the white widows probably need about another 3 weeks, but i feel like the Sherbert is maybe done a bit faster.
The schedule asks for 1 week water only, But how do i know when it's the last week ? The pistils are slowly getting different color.

ChairmanFester · Apr 21, 2026

Well take a picture but don't be a slave to a chart.

420Captain · Apr 21, 2026

I'll take some close ups tonight when light on.

I understand, but they still need a week just water ?
