Hello my fellow MJ growers!
I'm new to this and here's my first grow. sorry for the quality, its from my phone and under a LED light.
Backstory:
I bought seeds online and grew them around March 2016 indoor. I dont know how many days it has been but so far so good. Initially, I started with 18 plants in a 3x3 tent thinking that would be sufficient. However, I later found out that I had grown too many plants! My thinking was that, maybe half of those might die or didn't grow at all during the seedling to vegetative state. As of now, I've removed 5 plants due to it growing too slow compared to the other plants - 2 removed after switching over to flowering since they never grew beyond their vegetative state (they were the weaklings of the bunch). 2 removed again, after putting on 12/12 for a few weeks. One didnt show any flowering while the remaining already started flowering. The other plant flowered, but was growing all messed up (the flowering and leaves were misshaped, showing very little budding progress). And finally, just couple of days ago, I removed another plant as it was flowering too slow(shown below in normal lighting).
Growing:
In terms of how i'm growing, I dont have a specific schedule or "scientific" method of growing them. I simply water with tap(my city has a decent water system <120PPM and average 8.0 - 9.0PH) and PH it down to ~6.5. I used flora micro/bloom/gro a few times, but was concerned about over nourishing the plant so I switched to just plain water using a 3x3 tent with a carbon filter and ventilator to absorb most of the stank in 3 gallon reusable pot. I'm also using 2 300W LED light, which I think is decent since they're growing healthy.
My Question to my fellow veterans is how I can make sure my plant will grow with decent amount of THC/CBD. Right now, 4 of the 13 plant show promising sign of decent yield and producing lots of tricomes. does this equate to higher THC content? The images I have upload are the "best" plants displaying thick budding and tricome except for the ones under normal lighting which is going to be trashed.
any advice or criticism would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading and Happy Growing!
