First time grow. Low budget

Update. She is 11 weeks old to this very day. I have noticed a lot of leaf tip curling over the past week and half and some discoloration. I'm thinking maybe that overfeeding of dry nutes about a month back is what is catching up? I've seen her fatten up quite a bit. The tiny popcorn nugs on the lower branches even seem ready. What do you guys think? Shes cloudy and clear and I saw some amber.

This is the strain details on the website. It says flowering time 55+ days and that's about where I'm at. Still going off trichomes. Wondering what any of your input would be. Could I chop the main cola leaving the surrounding stems to grow and thicken up or are they going to remain smaller in size?

Hard to tell without seeing the trichs up close and the flash washing out the pics a bit, but looks like you have a lot of very white hairs still. I'd say another week at least, maybe more. I'm sure you've heard it before but most plants don't finish in the breeders predicted time

Definitely heard it before. I've been so patient and being home from work for a week has made me think about this plant so much more than I intended haha. Going back to work tomorrow thankfully. I will post pics tomorrow without flash with my wife's phone. Better camera. And try and take trichome pics with the jeweler loupe as well. Thanks for the reply :)

Got the call that I am now getting paid to stay home :) so my plant gets to torture me with temptation a while longer. Time for new activities. Have a good day everyone. Will post pics soon.

This is bad. I noticed a fungus growing on top of my dirt right now. And I noticed some leaves on the bud that were black and dead. I separated the bud and looks like fungus growing in there :(. Does that mean the whole plant is gone? I'm taking this as a lesson and not going to cry.

There was some fungus or spiderweb type rot on the main cola. The other ones there is nothing I can see. Is this thing still worth it? Should I chop and still dry and cure?

I'm not blaming the wife but she told me she has been taking the fan out of the closet and using it while I'm at work :(. The bud really does look okay except for that part in the middle on the main cola. Should I trim that area out of there? Should I stop panicking? Should I force you guys to answer me quicker? Jk. I'm okay but not okay. But I'll be alright. Oh another question. Is this a plant that I could just end up using for edibles if it is a little bud rot?

Doing nothing to your plant can be the hardest thing to do sometimes.

Haha she's upset. But idk what to do. I have the fan blowing on it. I just ordered some fabric pots and fox farms soil and have a new seed germinating. I've seen other posts with bud rot and they're brown and nasty. Mine is all still 99% green. I'm torn

Watch out for mites. Look good they are small. Have a pic?
I can't get a good picture. But it looks like this photo from a pic I found online. Some of the leaves are like yellowish/dark and stringy. The website said it could be due to nutrient problems as well. The biggest thickest colas are usually the ones where it starts. With the weather here being wet and rainy and cool and warm and without my fan blowing on it for however long while I was at work. Seems it's an open and closed case. Good thing I used my FREE seed! Haha. Someone told me at the beginning of this thread to buy a dehumidifier. I wonder if that would have saved me? Who knows. But I'm buying extra fans for my next try at growing and a dehumidifier. And I'm divorcing my wife to take care of that problem as well. Jk I love her so much. This has been fun and a learning process and I'm excited to do it all over again.

So the wife and I got some magnifying glasses and high powered lights for inspection. It was covered in white furry mold and wet rot inside buds. No sign of mites. Just rot :(

This will be a good memory.

Very sad I wonder what went wrong? Couldn’t possibly be the fan being moved for 8hrs. What was the RH of the grow space during flowering? Lower is better during flowering to avoid this issue from everything I’ve read

It wasn't just 8 hrs. She had been moving it out and bringing it back in the closet on several days in a row. She didn't think it was a big deal. She stopped doing it just recently cause I've been home due to the virus going around. I'm not going to put the blame on her because I haven't been regulated the temps as well as I was in the beginning. Letting it get cold And then warm up and vice versa. I don't really know the exact cause. I read it could be nutrient issues that get it going also? I brought it outside for a sun light view very briefly a while back too. But that was like a 2 minute thing. It could be several things. I read somewhere you can spray your plants with something while it's vegging to prevent mold during flower, anyone aware of this prevention method?
