Hi everybody .. new to the forum but have been reading through tons of stuff here in the last couple of months. The knowledge has been priceless. I have Almost complete my first grow . 1 girl scout cookies auto 1 ak auto and 1 purple envy normal photo feminised. It's been an emotional journey haha I strugggled with just about everything and these plants really went through some hard times as a result the 2 autos were dwarfs but the purple is doing ok. Today i hung my 2 auto's in a homemade dry box made from a chest of drawyer frame and carbboard as the purple still has a couple of weeks to go in my tent and i had no where else to hang em . I will post some pics from beginining to where they are now . Although small plants i was happy to get some bud from the 2 autos. Never growing them again and never buying a grow kit again . Most the stuff included is just cheap rubbish and i ended up buying a seperate stuff ontop like an air cooled hood as kit only had reflector . And i would vedge with 400 watt not the 600 watt in kit . Also a tweakable ballast ..not this big shitty building brick i got which vibrates the house down haha. Just some advice i would pass on to new growers. Take it easy !

Nice job. How many weeks did you run them? And what was the suggested time? They look great. Did you flush them at the end?

Hi thanks alot :) The 2 hanging autos would have been 12 weeks old this coming sunday and projected time 9 weeks . Drowned them in water and let them dry out 2 weeks ago then just water and mollasses for 1 week then just water this last week. Then 15 hours in dark then cut them today hanging the full plant without roots . All of which i learned in these forums and decided to go for . Fingers crossed they dry and cure ok :) thanks again

Thanks :) And for the record they have grew at totally inconsistent temps and humidity , been from a cupboard to a tent , some days 12 hours light some days 16 , tranpsplanted , damaged roots from me moving cloth pots around , ive stabbed a knife in cloth pots to improve drainage as pieces of roots splattered all over my bathroom like i was a plant serial killer from psycho movie and all sorts of other general stupidity and STILL got some buds

In your drying "area" make sure there's air circ /exchange as you don't want them getting moldy in the last stage, great first effort. You can as it seems your drying area is mostly enclosed check humidity with one of those small gauges.
As far as the bud you've got to harvest being ready your smoke test will tell the tail there, otherwise you'd need some method of viewing your buds (some type microscope or loop) to check trichomes.

Hi thanks alot ! And thanks for the advice .... it must be heart breaking to nurse them and occasionally abuse them ( in my case lol ) for so long and then lose them at the last minute , not something i wanna experience . How's this looking ? Thanks again

@Drowblock501 hey, plants are green, pointing in the right direction and don't seem to have obvious problems. Now the question is how many are females? After three months and not knowing anything about your ability, most would think the they're somewhat small & lanky, that might translate into some/a few being males.
PS. Post your own thread with those type questions and you'll have plenty of help.

It's been an emotional journey haha I strugggled with just about everything and these plants really went through some hard times as a result the 2 autos were dwarfs but the purple is doing ok.

I will post some pics from beginining to where they are now . Although small plants i was happy to get some bud from the 2 autos. Never growing them again and never buying a grow kit again . Most the stuff included is just cheap rubbish and i ended up buying a seperate stuff ontop like an air cooled hood as kit only had reflector . And i would vedge with 400 watt not the 600 watt in kit . Also a tweakable ballast ..not this big shitty building brick i got which vibrates the house down haha. Just some advice i would pass on to new growers. Take it easy !
