First Time Grower - First Time Journaling

[Lisa2265]

Today doesn’t look so bad but I’ll let your guys be the judge. No water today, it was still damp under the first 1inch or so of soil so I left it until tomorrow. She looks good , I think. Filling out nicely. I never thought I would see them plumping up but they are…
I do know that I now have to totally keep track of time. I kind of lost my way. I felt
Like she was stunted and never going to get anything worth my time and effort. I do have to say I feel differently about it all right now today. So thank you for
Your continued support and advice. If we all lived close, I’d have everyone over and cook a great meal for
Everyone… that’s how us Italians show our appreciation…

I’m learning that. Thank you

And I want say this. Don't worries about anything on plants. These are one of the hardest plants to grow. Not like u can stick it in ground and it do fine. It's all a learning curve once u find that curve becomes easy. We all been there. Trust me and if they say they haven't. They lieing . First time I grew them they died more than lived. Burnt up . Wilted over water bugs. U name it.. keep chinup hun. We will try to help best we can .
We love ya. Your doing fine. .

I know it’s not like yours, they are beautiful, but it’s the first one, I think I stunted it but I had some good recovery… now I learned a hell of a lot so the second round, I might actually have a full tent which is more than I bargained for and I may have to upgrade my air filter. I can smell it when I walk into my basement. So we will see
I
Might just upgrade it at the end of this grow so I am
Starting out with now smell.. but we will see..

Better get ready to start hanging

 

[Lisa2265]

Ok. I’m so ready..

 

[Lisa2265]

I know it’s not what it could have been but I’m ok with it.. I felt at such a disadvantage growing becasue it’s nothing like vegetable gardening. But the whole point is to learn and grow , so I think I learned a lot . I wish I would have found this community when I first started on Nov. I was on Another one and it was terrible. Not a community , not helpful, just weird and competitive and frankly disturbing. Thank you..

 

[7Dust2]

Ok. I’m so ready..

I'm sure you are me too but I'm no where near that. Got another month . Photo plants take up to 4 month to 6. But just hope I get this right make my own strain we going call it "smoke "

Morning!!

Good evening guys! I think I my first grow is coming to the end it’s growing season . I’m not sure how long I have but I am on say 78 of the whole thing. They germinated and were planted Nov 14 maybe? Kind of lost track there . A lot of things going wrong at the time. But here we are at the end of the growing season , at least I think. Disappointed at the size of the colas . But again my first time. If I have a week left, how much bigger will they actually get? Should I stop feeding? Or co to use for another week.? I have read that depending on how long you leave them to ripen you could get a couch lock effect. I am not going for that at all.
So if it’s now then, then I will begin by going into darkness for a couple days??
Not sure how to end it, but I know I didn’t have good advice when I started I just want to finish as strong as I can.

Looking great. I dont even check with the microscope till all of those white hairs turn color and curl back into the bud.

 

[Lisa2265]

Thank you T..I have read in a couple places that when you leave them too long then the effects are like a couch lock. Is that true.? I don’t want to do a couch lock .
