1st Grow... thanks GWE!

[DaveB9678]

First ever real grow, gambled on a Nightmare OG bag seed. This little lady threw me nothing but curve balls since I switched to 12/12 on September 12th. Started to herm about 3 weeks into flower, nute burn followed that, now leaves starting to yellow. Thanks to you guys I’ve been able to pull it out of the flames every time. Hoping she can make it about 3-4 more weeks until harvest.

Only question I have is the yellowing leaves. Is that part of the normal life cycle, or do I have some kind of deficiency?

thanks again for the wealth of knowledge on GWE. would have never gotten this far without it.

good job keeping things going. Nice looking buds. Especially for 1st grow.
Don't worry about lower fan leaves turning yellow slowly as flowering nears its end. that's normal.

Normal yellowing great recovery you did.

 

[DaveB9678]

Thanks John. I definitely learned a lot, made a few rookie mistakes but she always bounced back. Looking forward to getting her in jars, and starting the next grow.

Great job B9678, nice plant.
The growing is the easy part, be sure to read Nebs tutorials on drying an curing,

[DaveB9678]

I’ve read through them, and am sure I’ll have to again. Don’t want to mess up the most important part of the process.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

DaveB9678 I'm sure your gonna do fine, just don't overdry , an you should be just right.
Your doing great!!

Looks like she still has a good month to go so keep her on schedule. Great job! Those already fat colas haven’t stopped growing 👍🏻

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

That's what I would guess too, about a month, those flowers will be way bigger, an denser by then, an alot heavier.
That's the best first grow I've seen in awhile, sometimes them bagseeds do great.

My first couple grows were under T5’s because I thought that’s all you needed but wondered why my buds were all stringy and didn’t look anything like what I could buy or see in high times. Then I bought a SunScape combo that used 2 150w HPS bulbs and 4 T5’s plus it came with 2 sets of bulbs in 3000k and 6500k. Wow what a difference that light made lol the Internet has definitely shortened that learning curve

 

[DaveB9678]

I’m amazed at what this little light is capable of. For 90 bucks it’s definitely worth a look, for a small setup.

 

[DaveB9678]

Finally busted out my "real" camera, and got some macro shots..

Nice work Dave, you flipped 7 days after me and your buds look hearty!

 

[DaveB9678]

Thanks Cheeba, they’re getting super dense. Starting to get a little impatient, can’t wait to try her out.

 

[Cheeba]

DaveB9678 it’s taking forever, right? Trying to wait until day 63 before I check trichs every day.

 

[DaveB9678]

It’s like having a present that you can’t open for 2 months.

 

[DaveB9678]

Day 52 of flower, thinking another 2 weeks until harvest? Leaves are starting to yellow up a lot more now, and lost a bunch over the last week. I can't really tell if the trichomes are turning white yet. Most of the hairs are turning a nice light orange though... What do you guys think?

 

[growell]

looking nice mate top job for first grow just keep an eye on tricomes mate
