First grow and need advice

[1stgrow01]

I committed a sin. Couldn't resist at least seeing the quality of my bud but couldn't bring myself to touch the big plant so I took a branch off the small. It's sticky, smells amazing when you break it up, and i know im biased and might be playing myself, but I do feel high. Didn't dry it jus simply because I am just testing the psychoactive effects not flavor or aroma. But honestly it doesn't taste too bad just hard to light. (Don't mind the paint on the table lol)

This looks insane? When will you harvest these babies?

 

[1stgrow01]

Should I harvest? Some of my bud leaves are turning brown. Today js day 49

Waaaay too early, your pistils are pretty white and without even seeing your trichomes I bet they are clear. You got a loupe or magnifying camera?

 

[1stgrow01]

They are milky and many of my pistils were orange just this shifty camera can't pick it up

 

[1stgrow01]

Hung them to dry

 

[1stgrow01]

It had a lot of orange pistils and some of the trichomes on the bud leaves were amber the rest were milky. That plus the leaves were dying so I decided to harvest

Way too soon my friend. If the leaves are dying sometimes is just normal, many strains during the final 2 weeks will start taking nutes from the leaves even if you feed them to really fatten the buds good, you skyped the fattening part, those buds are too small and will get even smaller after they lose half their water. It can still be a nice smoke and all, dont get me wrong, its just that you could have gotten way more production if you were more patient hehe.

Ok. I am trying to do it cheap but Ice mountain water from Walmart has a wonderful ph. I would not use potting soil. It’s too hot for the roots. Walmart has a soil called Mother Earth and it is awesome. Keep in mind I am a first time grower and just harvested my Gorilla Glue.lol
I am sharing what I have been told with you. Looking great and keep researching. Growing cannabis is a rabbit hole.lol
Good luck!

Learning to grow without getting too hung up in the science keeps you out of the rabbit hole

Okay just got the plants trimmed. Final weight of the big plant is 26 grams. Final weight of small pla t is 7 grams. Overall very happy how it turned out. Definitely passes smoke test!

They are a bit small but but bigger than I expected they would be, they look really good! Good colors, healthy ammount of trichomes, I bet its smelly. How does it taste?

They taste okay right now but I just trimmed them and put them in a jar to cure so hopefully they'll taste somewhat better in a few weeks!
