First time grow. Low budget

[NYFlowerpower631]

Yea she’s getting this is where having patience comes in cause she’s going to get more stinky and beautiful every day the closer she gets. Main things she’s going to pack on weight. So definitely in another week or so start checking the tricombs I personally start flushing once I see 90 or so percent cloudy and try for a nice flush like 10+ days and I usually at the right time it’s 10% amber and 90% cloudy and remember it’s going to also rippen while it drys so when I pull my plants down while at like 10-14 days ready for complete trim to jar but that’s my process but it’s looking good brother

Yeah I have plenty of patience. I was talking to someone else that grew a bubblegum auto from germ to harvest at only 9 weeks. But it was from a different seed vendor. I am aware that all plants are ready at diff times due to growing condition and personal preference. But I want to ride this out as long as I can to get the end of the end result when it comes to time to harvest. We'll seeee

Absolutely man I’m not a fan of Sativas myself. I do like the crosses with Sativa and Indica but definitely like more Indica dominant strains. But most of the time I grow Indicas. Idk my body doesn’t react well to straight Sativa strains definitely don’t like the way they make me feel. So when I grow Sativa dominant strains like 60% to 40% genes I let them go longer then usual to get more amber to create more of the Indica trait in it. My aunt has me grow a plant for her in her house and she likes the Sativa over Indica so I chop hers once plants are 90-100% cloudy and start flushing when she’s showing 85-90% cloudy

I'm like the complete opposite haha. I like more of a head high. Don't like feeling slow and lazy. I'm active and when I do smoke its usually a sativa. I like to be consumed by my thoughts and enjoy conversations without feeling like I'm gonna fall asleep haha. But I rarely smoke now. I sure do enjoy growing though

It’s starting to get nice and warm Spring just around the corner. Got a compost pile from grass clippings leaves soil and natural remedies to help break down into awesome top soil/plant soil. Another benefit to running a landscaping business I usually let the pile go mixing and aerating pile and had amazing mixes and made goooood money growing people new lawns and my ladies as well this pile is 3 years tm I usually let pile go for minimum 5 years. Good OG in the game helps me with mix lol sometimes I don’t even know the natural organic things he adds. He lives and is from Cali somewhere up in the Humbolt County area. He comes out here like every 2-3 months to see his son my best friend Nick and his family(kids and wife and grandchildren) so he always comes by and me and him shoot the shit smoke, I suck in all the years of exsperience and knowledge he’s got n telling me you know. But hope everyone is good and ladies doing amazing cheers stay medicated

This is the pile I made about 3500$ using this for a top soil to grow grass for a few front lawns. Made I nice amount of yards In top soil and it was awesome an organically great . I got picks of the new babies going 2 autos Norhern Lights and a Critical Orange Punch and then 3 photo periods White Widow,Wedding Cake And Gorilla Cookies there 9-10 days old lol maybe a day or so more lol baked. Probably gonna pop a Green Gelato. Start under my t12’s usuall t5’s buddy using it 6500k for a week from sprouts and then I put under the 600w led bloom/veg switch on and start at minimum 24” and either need to move up or down strains and pheno differ I have strain and certain pheno’s could take 18” like a champ. Anyway LED for another week or so then 600w mh for 2 weeks usually and then flip using 600w hps. I’ll go from rapid rooter to 4” to 1/2 gallon fabric and a week I to 2 gal fabric after transplant using mh then flip and I will be filling my 3x3 veeery niiiiice And I’ll be starting a 17” x 36” 36” tent with my t5’s for veg and clones. I have made my own light proof boxes for side bottom vents for air intake for the 3x3 flower(scrog) and both tents sit in the room im using now that’s insulated and panda film up.but I’ll get picks up later it’s cool to just keep like a journal through a thread with good people

Oh wow. Thats a lot of work over time. A lot of dedication. This is really the only form of knowledge I get from seasoned growers. I don't have anyone in personal life that has grown. I like this thread and all of the posters on here. Good luck with your new setup. That's a lot to take care of haha. I'm sticking with one at a time for a while.

Yes sir I like choice and different flavors. I got my card for chronic pain so different strains for different needs you know but these are the babies 2 biggest and in 3 gal fabric are the autos and other 3 in small cups with coco are the phots again 9 days from sprouts had to re plant into smaller cups started in 1 gal all I had and were way to big so it did more growing under the soil and not vertical growth they are now there all a nice color so they will burst with growth when she’s ready most likely soon

[DarkWeb]

You got time....

 

[Jman108227]

You got time....

When you said that I immediately thought of the movie "Fallen". Some people will get it haha

 

[NYFlowerpower631]

Yea she’s got time still why I said in another wk or so just start looking at Tricombs with scope but she’s going to fatten up a lot more and you will notice the difference between growing bud and swelling bud once she starts really swelling she’s usually getting.She will start getting cloudy and more cloudy lol

 

[Jman108227]

Anyone know what these things are? Should I be worried or is this normal.

After doing some digging I have come to the conclusion that these are swollen calyx of the female variety. Kinda when a woman gets excited? If anyone opposes, I'm all up for suggestion and opinion.

 

[NYFlowerpower631]

Was going to say there calyx your good

Update: Day 63.
Everything has been going well. My good friend who has grown before convinced me to drop my light basically right on top but not touching the main cola. Because the light isn't hot. I did it for 1 1/2 days and she got significant light burn. With brown crisp spots on some of the leaves and a lot of curled brown tips because of it. I moved the light back up even further than where it was previously to let her recover. She's still super green. I had to squeeze a nug to feel what it was like and its hard and extremely sticky like a glue stick. I love this thing. There's still a ton of white hairs. I would say 5% have turned orange. I checked the trichomes and they're really clear.
