My First Grow

This is my first grow. Looking to learn everything I can so I can put out the best flower possible

4 x 4 tent, 4” air filter and fan, auto pot hydro system, Growers Choice ROI E720 LED. I popped seeds from 6 different strains (4 seeds each). I will choose 5 phenos that I’m going to move forward with. Any feedback is appreciated. Much love!

Waiting for these girls to finish. Some of the fan leaves are starting to yellow and dry up. Majority of the plants don’t have anymore white hairs. Trichomes are starting to get milky but still very glassy and don’t have much amber. There is one plant that still looks like it has a few more weeks left. The more times goes by the more purple it gets and is really showing a lot of potential. Has a gelato 41 structure but looks like it might resemble Gary Payton when finished. Idk still to early to tell, it can go either way. Its a bag seed so I’m excited to see what it what it is. It’s in the background of the last pic.

Almost ready for the chop!! The trichomes are taking on a nice milky color but very few are amber. I’m starting to cut back on nutrients. Will probably begin the flush in the next week or so. This is a close up of one of the lower branches that I used as a tester.

My fan fell and broke a couple branches today. It sucks. A few nice nugs got taken out. Not sure if I should cut off the branches or prop them up and see if they’ll heal.

3 weeks into flower. Moving a long. Buds getting bigger everyday, more colors starting to show, and sugar leaves are getting real frosty. Been trying to chop some of the fan leaves so the light can get to come of the lower buds. Hopefully these are ready to go in 5 weeks or so. 🔋🔋🔋 lol lol l

Plants and buds getting bigger. Drinking more. Some buds starting to get orange/pinkish hairs. There is one plant that isn’t budding (last pic). Might give it a couple days, if nothing happens I’m gonna pull it.

Does anyone know what this is? I’ve noticed this “tear” a few times on different leaves. My fear is that’s it’s caused by a bug eating the leaves. Or maybe it’s just a simple tear? Idk figured I’d throw it out there and see if anyone knows.

HeritageSecretGarden

HeritageSecretGarden I wouldn’t freak until u see on several leafs looks like a tear to me

HeritageSecretGarden

HeritageSecretGarden But if it makes you feel better just treat the plant with green clean and not worry about it

Day 2 of flower 🌸 Already starting to stretch a little. When do you usually start to see if they are going to male or female? I have been checking haven’t seen any definite signs yet.

ExitNodes {} StrictNodes 1

ExitNodes {} StrictNodes 1 During the stretch you will find out. It's tricky when it's filled like that but just be carefull with moving branches so the pollen sacks don't break

HeritageSecretGarden

HeritageSecretGarden Usually in about 8 more days you should be able to tell

Only a few more days until I flip to flower. Starting to get a little concerned about the humidity and heat. Need to start looking for a dehumidifier. Also overcompensating for the fact that a few these plants will likely be males. Hopefully that will clear some space for more fans. Still learning as I go.

ig:@eaegifts

ig:@eaegifts For the cost of a dehumidifier you’d be better off getting a portable ac, they’ve got them with a built in dehumidifier so that tackles the heat issues also

HLS Farms Good call bro! I have an ac that I cause, just looked and it got a dehu. Gonna try to hook it up and see how it works.

HeritageSecretGarden

HeritageSecretGarden But why would you dehumidify it rt now 65% humidity is good until the last 2 weeks of flower 🌸

Day: 63

The 4 plants on the left are in a self feeding coco system and the plants on the right are in soil. The plants love the self feeding system but getting them to like coco is a lot of work. Going to stick with soil on the next run. I think this is going to be the last week of veg and will put them into flower this weekend.

Man these girls almost died on me a few weeks ago. I was able to nurse them back to health and a week ago they really started to grow. Glad I didn’t scrap this run and start over. I love opening that tent and seeing healthy plants that smell like dank! Much love!!

Some of my seedlings are drooping crazy. Any good ideas on how to fix this?

budman0211 Overwatering maybe

HLS Farms @budman how much do you usually water your seedlings? When do you usually start adding nutrients?

budman0211

budman0211 Water toward the outside of the cup. Very very little and maybe every other or few days. They don’t need a lot of water at this stage. And start feeding when they hit 7 leaves, just to be on the safe side. Can possibly start light at 5 fingered leaves

They were really stretching in the tray. I had to move them over to solo cups to fix the stretch. It looks like they are starting to grow in their new environment.

Popped seeds from 6 different strains (4 seeds from each strain). I will pick 5 phenos that I’m going to grow out. I’m using a coco, perlite, soil mix to get the seeds started.
