Good job for first ever grow. Yep that loupe will pay for itself for judging ripeness.

whoops was re reading something and i realized i never finished this off int my second grow already(temps alt lower so growth is alot slower decided against a grow log)
anyways dried/cured final harvest 76G



i actually think i harvested a little early next run i have ordered a loupe and will beable to get a better idea on trichomes

Week17, week 7 of flower: Flower stage doesn’t seem very exciting not much going on buds are fattening up now but other then that nothing to report

[c0ryp1]

Week13: 4 of flower.
Last Sunday hit plant with a vigorous defoliation any fan leaves that I could take out with out disturbing the bud sites were removed water and it took until Tuesday to feel slightly damp watered and she is drinking again back to the 1gallon every other day so excited to see the buds fatten up... stressed her a bit so no photo from today looks much the same altho sugar leaves are slightly bigger now.

Week 12: week 3 flower Man this is a thirsty plant! Still doing gallon every other day.... I really can’t believe I went from all thoes bad weeks in the begging and thinking I was killing them to this! I read a few Swazzing guilds and decided to defoil last wensday right after posting this


any more experienced folks wanna guess yield longest branches are 2 ft got 4 of thoes and then the smaller buddy Center (prob gonna defoil once more this weekend) has maby 8-10 smaller branches around 12 ish inches and this is how she looks today

Week 11:Week 2 of flower suspected male is for sure a male now and has been moved outside to finish will end up running through bubble bags after harvest.... female is drinking a crap ton of water 1gallon every other day now and has stretched double its size! I will be researching defoliation Soon and decide if I want to do it I want to get the most out of this plant that I can

[c0ryp1]

Week 10: plants have grown a lot while I was away for 4 days swapped them to flower yesterday... male is still uncertain keeping an eye on it but it has grown pretty lanky

[c0ryp1]

Week 9: I have decided I’m going to switch to flower after next week plants growing well...

unfortunately I think I have a male....

can anyone confirm?
but I also think I have a female...

[c0ryp1]

Week 8: plants grew a little more and the branches were long enough to do some LST this week...depending how fast they grow hoping to swap to flower in 2 weeks

[c0ryp1]

Week 7 now not much to report messed up the fim for sure as it started to grow another set of nodes....so I decided too then top it. Side shoot are really growing now... other then that enjoy the picture wall

[c0ryp1]

Yea no it’s was 12 seeds for 40 there was actually 14 in little baggy... thanks for the info I’ll definitely do that for the next set..for now I’ll just keep putting girls into the universe and it will reward me🤣... I think one is female but it’s only one tiny preflower hair that I can see right now

Damn but thought you had feminized seed.. anyhows maybe able to still influence them but think it’s to late but next time you get some reg seeds there is a trick oldjarhead100 told me about so I’ll pass it along.
Trick to Get More Females than male plant....

First:
-When your girls have there second set of true leaves you increase N (I mix up 5 gallons of water with N in it ) decrease light to 14 hours, increase humidity and reduce the temp if you do these things from the time they have there 2nd set of true leaves until there 4th is in they will grow more females than males
Second:
- if you go online type in Raw nutrients they have a package of nitrogen and follow the directions ,to increase humidity I put a plastic tote over them one time ,then this year I had to many plants to go under the tote so I closed them in with a humidifier it raised it over 50 % and to lower the temp I blew cooler air into the tent tent was 70 degrees cellar 60 so as you can see it wasn't drastic changes but just a little . its kind of hard to lower the temp and raise the humidity so I'm not sure if that helped but the N and lights at 14 hours gave me 48 females out of 51 seeds. This information comes from J Cervantes bible page 21

There ya go buddy all’s looking good mine still are not showing sex either thats okay cause I want them to keep growing more I’m about to do my second set of toppings. Also trick to FIM is let the node start to sprout and the new top get enough out to cut a solid 80% leave about a 1/8 inch of the new shout get it before the top opens up idea is to not cut to far down so where the fan leaves where gonna open up and where the node branches would normally come sprout is still there and able to grow. Than when you see 2 new sprouts coming out pull the two longer nodes growing over so the 2 in the middle can get light or else the 2 longer ones will block the light. Just remember use sterile clippers always when pruning and give time for the plant to get healthy and growing before u top again when u top it’s considered a High Stress Training because ur cutting it also when u top the node u top at do not cut the big fan leaves at the same time cause they soak up the light an provide chlorophyll to the plant to help it grow make sure to always top and prune before u feed them and give them nutrients to help them repair faster and help with stress!! Keep at it my first topping I killed the plant lol than my first FIM I cut to small and I had 5 new tops but 3 never grew right. Keep at it your learning and I’d advise if u wanna FIM do that first than just top the 4 new tops u get but max 2 tops after FIM so a total of 3 tops remember u can top your nodes also if plants strong enough but topping always slows plants down so that’s just longer u gotta keep it in veg phase!! Good Job keep at it, it’s a learning process and u get better every time!!

Is that a cereal bowl? May need a different container.

Not much of an update this week didnt like how much light was being lost with the plate being in the corner so I built a ghetto fabulous tent out of a emergency blanket found at the dollar store. plants are growing quickly when not sure I FIMed them correctly I got half the top node and parts of the other side branches...plants seem to be still growing vertically altho side shoots are about an inch now...time will tell also no signs of sex yet

I have one of Thoes small 8” fans mounted to the roof for air circulation and then the fan that turns on and off to keep the basement cool/drier I’m not actually sure why it was in there when I bought the house usually it only turns on when I’m doing laundry but I have noticed it on randomly as well and it’s more frequently on now that the plants are going but it’s still not on100% of the time I think it turns on at 50% humidity tho... My temps and humidity have been pretty stable at 24.5 and 45% night time lows of 23 and 42% on my temp display thingy max has been 26.5 and 65% mostlikely when my drier was running
