420Captain first grow. How are they doing ?

[trygrowup]

45 days that's like 7 weeks.
I don't think it would hurt to get even more light to those buds in the shadow.
Your plants is well fed so they don't eat the leafs and gets more light.
What do you think?

And maybe it time to remove budsites in tent 2.
I think the general rule for natural grown shape is half way from the bottom to the top, but don't quote me on that and its just a point in the right direction.
As example, a 40cm plant half way up is maybe too much.
This one for example

It's 60 cm i think and look at the lowest buds i left. I should have taken them too but this plant is putting few budsites so i was too careful.
But i think it depends on lightning most and penetration. I got a sweet spot of 30 cm light where my buds gets best with my settings.

Edit:"half way from the bottom to the top," i think i wrote that wrong but you get it with the picture

 

[420Captain]

What do you think?

I really don't know sir, All i know is i'm afraid to fuck it up so late in the process..

For tent 2, i think it's okay like this ? Way more airy then tent 1, so it will be allright? Or is there a bennefit to remove the lower buds?

 

[trygrowup]

Yeah less popcorn and bigger tops they say

 

[420Captain]

That's what they call lollipopping ?
I'm not sure about that, let me sleep about it

 

[trygrowup]

I get it but your buds looks like they are ok big and i don't like those big fan leaf blocking the air form them.
Maybe it's just me being nervous? Maybe if your rh is good then you're good but still i think some buds need more light at least.

I think you're right, and now i got this song from Meat Loaf singing "Let me sleep on it" in my head
Thanks bro

 

[420Captain]

I'm doin my best to keep rh really low, for tent 1 45/55% And tent 2 i'm aiming for 50/55. Not always succesfull, but last night and today it was perfect.

You're welcome! Light one up and enjoy the song it's a good one

I must make you weep.
Running a crowd means rotation twice a day. I actually snipped some select fans the other day so more air and light got to more places.

Big girl lights on, lots of room in the bottom, the yellow is the light:

 

[420Captain]

I don't rotate daily, but all do my best to switch places sometimes. But i'm also afraid to break or destroy them in the process...
I would be happy if next round i don't have so much plants and more available space. And in the beginning i was afraid i was not gonna fill the tent

 

[ChairmanFester]

I bet he's already thinking about another tent.
They are very forgiving though, and hey if you get a cloning bucket some breaks are lucky.

 

[trygrowup]

But i'm also afraid to break or destroy them in the process..

I don't buy that one.

I bet he's already thinking about another tent.

Nah it too much work for the Captain. But then again with auto pots

 

[420Captain]

I bet he's already thinking about another tent.

Whaha i really was looking for a tent that better fits my room, and can hold 10 plants. But i got that song in my head from Queen, i'm just a poor boy...

I don't buy that one.

Oh you don't know me, i'm clumsy and sometimes just stupid Today i almost dropped my phone on the plants...

Exactly, Why should you be any different then anybody else?
And don't come running crying about all your popcorn after harvest with that attitude.

 

[420Captain]

Easy pooky, i haven't slept about it yet,

What if i tried on 2 or 3 plants first ?

 

[trygrowup]

I was just about to say that you might be right and just let them finish.
Then you will learn that bigger and fever buds = less trimming
That alone will make you more motivated for next grow.

But yes that's a good idea to try only some, to compare.

 

[420Captain]

Thank you sir, maybe i'll try that. That way i can also learn the difference.
I'll let them rest for today and do it tomorrow? I just gave them water 3 hours ago.

 

[trygrowup]

I got something to show you in some minutes.

 

[trygrowup]

Now imagine you're out of weed. Thats not gonna happen unless you get expensive habbits.
But lets say you like some extra one day.
Then your popcorn becomes like this maybe.

I just got a cheap hand shaker with 130 micron and that shit is clean. It from 9 gram trim with little sugar leaf. Not popcorn.
But only trim the leafs if you are up for it. That's important. I don't intend to put pressure but i kinda did sorry

 

[420Captain]

That's why i grow my own weed now, i am too often without weed.
Hopefully that's over now.

Oh yeah, that's perfect! I have a trim tray orderd with 150 micron screen. I can use that one ?
That is what they call kief ?

otherwise, where i live, i can sell even the popcorn buds
With my first grow i sold my popcorn buds real cheap to a local dealer, and they loved that shit

 

[trygrowup]

Yeah 150 is good. Mine only came in 130 but the cleanness also comes from how hard tand how long the shake is.
In some countries they only use one size and then it's first or some times second shake for best quality.
And i don't know about all the different names because some of them stems from a original process and i'm no expert.
I think it called shift normally.
