Alright, thank to both of you for putting my mind at ease. I'll switch it back and just leave it. I appreciate the help!

I'd rather not have them in bloom yet though - they're only a week or so old. Will they just go into bloom when they want to? I realize that they're autos, but I'd rather not have finished plants that are tiny.

With the light I have you hit both switches to turn on bloom. I had both switches on.

Hey all, So I just realized that I've had my light on bloom for the last week over my autos, which I only just transplanted from seedling. The top few leaves are growing pistils. How badly have I messed up this grow? Can I just turn the light on to veg and hope for the best?

These are exactly what I used! I picked up a pair from my local grow shop when I was picking up everything I needed for the harvest. They worked perfectly!

Smoke report - this shit smokes nice. Massive bong hits and smooth joints. No taste, but I expected that. I will definitely be doing larger water cures in the future. Makes me look forward to the dry cured shit even more. Edit: I feel like I just got hit by a tank, but in a good way, y’know? I...

The buds are in the stove right now, happily drying away. Gonna dry enough to twist one up, then I’m gonna take my dog for a walk and burn it.

Had a look at the water this morning and all the jars were fairly clear. After work it will be drying time, and I’ll be able to sample the first cured buds of my first harvest!

Fifth water change! Everything is beginning to look quite clear now - I'll probably dry everything tomorrow. I don't have a food dehydrator and I'm wary of leaving things to dry on paper towel or cardboard or anything else, so I'ma toss the lot in the oven for an hour or so at 175f/80c. It's...

And after about an hour or so of clipping buds from stems, we have a final tally! 4.2 ounces! I’m not sure how much I’ll get out of the water cure, but I’m guessing I’ll end up with a total of 5 ounces. I will admit that I was hoping for more, but i also didn’t put a massive amount of...

That’s some fish you got there, Soul. Alright, given that I have neither the ride to get to the local sewing shop nor the time to wait for Amazon, I’ma just use my shears to cut the buds from the stems. Thanks for the help!

So my initial dry is about finished and I’m ready to put everything into jars for the cure. What’s the best way to strip the buds from the stems? Should I leave the larger buds on the stem?
