Some time it's worth to pay small lump of sum especially when these are 400w the 1000w is better lol but out of my price rangeMmm. Sounds good! It looks good too!

Here's the pics of the box the led rails came in. Doubt they will be much help.

No item number. That's all the markings on the box. I don't think the lights themselves have anything either but I'll check.

So, I will be at 60 days tomorrow is is the earliest I could harvest for an auto. The pic below is of the top cola. I did some research and I'm going to to a staggered harvest. I'll just cut the top cola, possibly over the weekend between 65-70 days. Then I'll let the rest of the buds fatten up for another week or so. I researched doing this with autos and it seems common. I have a question about flushing using this approach. I'm wondering if I need to flush before I cut the top cola or not. I'm using organic nutes (BioBizz). My run off is pretty clear on just water days so my instinct is to not flush. I'd like to cut the top cola and give another round of nutes for the rest of the plant to use to help fatten up. Thoughts?

I made my own dry box over the weekend. I posted about it in the harvesting section. Seemed like the most applicable place. Here's the link.

Alright, I'm at 61 days for my good plant and really close to harvest. The second plant, the one that broke earlier is starting to catch up too. I'm thinking probably next weekend I'll harvest the top cola. That would be 70 days total. Right now I'd say about 20% of the hairs are brown and curled. Even with my 40x magnifier, it's hard to really see the trichs. I may look at getting a better quality one.
Also, looking to probably put in another order of beans with nirvana. Probably gonna get 2 more autos. Thinking short rider and jock horror for the next round.

So, I am getting pretty close to harvesting the top cola at least. I think the yield is going to be terrible. Maybe half an ounce or less. Plus my second plant, is just not doing much of anything, will probably just harvest what's there soon and start the next. My next grow is going to be so much better. Here is a list of things I've learned and plan on doing differently next round:
Seeds: Not getting auto's, got 2 feminized strains, bubbleicious and AK48 -- Also, won't have to be so careful with nutes and can follow the BioBiz schedule.
Lighting: Getting some strong magnetic hooks and some flexible wire. Going to use that to hang the LED right rails directly over the plants, especially in veg.
Flower Pots: Had circular ones at 1 gallon this round, but even then the soil dropped down so much after a week or two of watering cause I didn't pack it well enough. Found some square pots that hold 1.3 gallons, should be a lot better especially if I fill them right this time before planting.
Nutes: Adding BioBizz Root Juice, BioBizz Heaven, and Top Max. May also get the Ala-g-mic also. Also getting some better droppers to more accurately measure nutes.
Training: Going to actually LST from the beginning and do it right, hopefully, using the screw and tie method. I've been doing a lot of research about it, so I think I have a process that will work well. I may also top the plants, depending how much yield I get from this first grow.
Number of plants: Would still like to grow two at a time, but may end up doing one. Most likely try two though.

If anyone is still watching this thread, I'm harvesting tomorrow. My good plant is pretty much ready. I think I could let it go for a few more days or a week but I'm ready to get to the next grow, plus it's gonna be easier to harvest and setup the next grow on the weekend. My little runt plant hasn't really done anything in two weeks so I think it's done. The flowers are super tiny and haven't really chaned in a long time. The sugars leaves are quite big and covered in trichs tough. I'm not expecting much at a, maybe a quarter ounce total, but we'll see.

Alright so here it is. As I said before it's not that great but I guess it will do. The little runt plant didn't yield really anything. My main plant, trimmed with stems came it at 1.3 ounces. Here are a few photos. They are drying in my custom dry box now. Got my new seeds germinating too.

Hey there Triplec, I've been in lurk mode, following your progress. I'm also doing my first ever grow in the same mrgrowpro pc you have. This really is a learning experience. I started my grow about the end of April. Got 2 feminized white widows in organic soil. I've also made my share of mistakes and my plants are not that big at this writing, as it looks like I've stunted them. Not sure what kind of yield I'll get; if I'm lucky I may get 1/2. White widows are supposed to flower for about 65 - 70 days; mine have been flowering since 5th June so they are supposed to be ready around 15th August. We'll see. Going overseas early Sept. so even if they are not quite ready, I'll have to chop them and start a new grow when I get back.
I think you've done well all things considered. Your next grow will def be better. Good luck!

Thanks man! Yea, you gotta few weeks left, I'm sure your flowers will swell up quite a bit by then. Take note of the list of improvements I made in a previous post. I think those changes will make a huge difference for my next grow which I've already started.
I have to attest that my buds have shurnken quite significantly since last night. I'm expecting about a half total. I think some of the small/medium bugs will be dry to put in my jar in the morning possibly. Could have a non-cure smoke test tomorrow!

So it's pretty much dry. I put them in a jar to cure with my curing cap. I weighed prior to that and it came at 14 grams or around .5 of an ounce. Lol.
