I have been growing for a couple years. I am not on the level of most of the people in this group. But I am able to grow some good smoke. I use what I grow for smoking and cooking. This will be my first grow that I am posting. I have a run that has maybe 2 weeks to go, I tried to do too much and they are going to finish ugly. But I dialed it back and have the next run already in veg. The next run I have some Runtz, Diamond Cookies, and Frozen Custard all from Green point Seeds. I am already planning the next run which will be my first run of Autos

Pot size 3 gallon and 5 gallon
Tent Size** : 5x5

Environment Indoor

Got the tent cleared out and moved the next run in, I still need to move half the plants to the bigger grow pots. then I will let them veg another week or so before I flip them. The ones I did move are in 5 gallon pots some of the others will go in 3 gallon pots. Trying Dr Earths Gold this run. We will see how it goes so far they seem to like it. Has anyone else use this before? Trying to get them to spread out so I can fill this 5x5 I always feel like I have dead space.
Couldn’t sleep so I gave the girls a good drink of some clean artisan well water. They have several of them in this area so I fill up bottles of it.
And then I cleaned up the trellis, they got a way to go before they get to it, but I have no doubt they will make it.
I need to go out and grab a few things before I can repot the other I think 7 plants.
And I could not stop myself I Popped 2 of JPs do me fast autos lmao. I am going to have little lights strung up like it’s Christmas…. I have a T5 from HydroFarm that plants in veg seem to
Love. So I will use that for a bit then I will squeeze them In this tent it’s just 2 more.
Got up got my coffee and got to work. I have finally finished transplanting the last 7 ladies. They went into 3 gallon fabric pots to make room for all of them, and I still have room to spread them out if I need to.
I popped 2 of the Do Me Fast autos from JP, and they are already peaking out. I will give them another day in the dark, then I will get them all snuggled up in their new homes.
Some runs definitely look different than others. Add with all the feedback I get from you all, I already see a difference in how my plants look.
I had popped 2 do me fast I got from JP, both popped almost immediately. I fat fingered one going to put it in the dirt, and broke the tap root.
The other one went in the dirt, and has already popped up and looks strong. And since I broke the other seeds root, I decided to just pop one right in the dirt. Let’s see what happens.
I have about another 10 soaking waiting to see what gets planted next.
As for the frozen custard, diamond cookies, and runts. They all adjusted nicely after going into the bigger pots. They went through a little growth spurt. So I gave them a little gentle spreading before the weekend. They will be ready for a watering soon. Temps and humidity are never a problem so I don’t say too much about
Things are shaping up nicely, I had to bend a few branches to slow them down a little. But I am happy with the way the canopy is looking I will be flipping the lights soon, thinking maybe another week.
Got to work early today, got the ladies watered, fed and spread. Gave them some Dr Earth gold 4-4-4 and a good soaking of some nice clean well water. I also rotated them so some of the smaller ones can get better light exposure. And moved all the tall plants to the outside.
Also did a little defoliation on a couple of the Frozen custard. I was going to flip them this weekend, but after today’s training I think I am going to give them another week. If they bounce back from this spreading.
I have the luxury of working from home, so I sit next to my tent all day M-F. My girls keep me company when the house is empty lol.
I love when you get a positive response from the plants. It’s like that thumbs up for providing what they needed.
I gave them a feeding and a good watering. And today they are looking happy. I have learned so much over the last month, it has really made a difference in how my girls look.
I have gotten better at training them after some great tips from the OG, and it has filled this 5x5. As much as I want to let them keep going, I will have no choice but to flip them because I will run out of space.
The days seem to fly, I don’t know where this week went. But here we are and it’s time to clean the old girls up.
They are eating a lot so I had to feed them mid week so no food today. I did give a small amount of cal mag I noticed some leaves starting to turn yellow along the edges.
I have a lot I want to run, so I will be flipping this 5x5 today.
For the next run I have a few clippings of the diamond cookies and frozen custard that I got to root, so they are coming along. And in about 4 weeks they should look a lot different.
Not much to report. I have had to bump up the water to twice a week as they were looking a little sad, a little over a week into flowering, and they are stretching and filling in. I have taken some of the bigger leaves off in order to let more light through. I gave them some flower booster and all are showing sex even the regs. So no pollen for me this time.
The clippings and seedlings are doing good, some show signs of growth some seem to be slow. I switched from 24 hours light to about 18 and I am noticing bigger changes in growth.
So they did not look good yesterday, I felt like I may have been over watering a little so I let them dry out real good, and they looked real lethargic. So I did some defoliation and a good watering, and today they are happy again.
And then the next group are doing good, trying to hold them back, once I put them into the bigger pots they will be ready to flip as soon as they adjust.
Trying to work on getting better about doing this part. Part of the reason I guess I don’t give more information is because I honestly don’t track it.
I have a 5x5 tent that is a work in progress, I am upgrading what I can when the budget permits.
I like to keep it simple. I have also learned less is more. It is easier to add what is required, than it is to take it away after let’s say an overdose, be it water or whatever.
At this point I just hit the 5th week of flowering. I am having to give them water about twice a week, and I am giving them flower fuel every other watering at this point. I give them either rain water or water that I go get from an artisan well.
I had to do another defoliation, and I could have done a better job of removing the lower growth but ultimately It will just into the trim. Every grow is a new lesson, I wonder if that ever changes?
