Same here. Pretty green, had a runt grow after decades of not doin it. Got a thread up on the current ~3w auto, it's doing twice the growth. I have a 100w rectangle led that works nice but it and the filter and vent fan all came in the tent kit.

The yellowing is normal…plant looks good…apply those tips you got for next time, bigger pot, light, LST (low stress training), and you’re on your way!

Man let me say, even if the first run was a runt, the difference in training vs not is HUGE. Guide those branches, it's something other forum people told me, I used, and it is a great tool.

Part of the reason my first one was small was leaf crowding too. I didn't manage foliage cover well. Rotation was with growth not just by timing which I'm sure was counter to the plant getting a good full blast of light everywhere. But also the light was WAY too high for a lot of it's life. Just so many mistakes lol.

Hi just after a opinion on my plant.
Do you think she's ready to harvest?
Most hairs have gone brown.

Try to get a pic of the trichomes…I can usually get a decent pic if I zoom in to take the pic, then zoom in again to look at the photo….hairs don’t really tell you if it’s ready, but ithey’ll tell you you’re close…general rule is you want them (trichs) to be mostly milky with a few ambers, heavier stone if you wait till mostly amber…just don’t want them clear.

I think it’s close…I don’t see any specs of amber, I think you should give it a couple days and check again and you wanna look more at the bud than the leaves. They do look pretty milky from what I can tell.

When they amber... yeah I think it's worth a little time.14 days in the jar instead of 10 too.
I can also report my 18 shelf commercial dehydrator on "fan only" does a superb even dry but you're gonna have a little smell there lol.

You def want a slow dry if possible over the course of about a week…lots of guys here use hygrometers to measure humidity in their drying space to control how fast it dries…but you just want a dark cool environment and airflow/ventilation…in my experience, and with a small amount, on a hanger in your closet will work just fine…you might search up that topic here for some threads on drying and curing as they go hand in hand.

I've seen plenty of people use the grow tent. I did, 14 days hanging and checked for feel then into a sealed glass jar for 14 days. Ain't it a bitch that it's not harvest to joint? Someone has to work on that.

Curing cannabis properly can exponentially increase the quality and desirability of your harvest. The key word to remember is "slow".

In two seconds I read about brown bagging during harvest, all new, now factored in. This is Disco.
