Okay, gotta be honest here even though I'm pretty mortified by what I'm about to write, I started with 20 feminised white dwarf big buddha seeds, had a massive party for the US elections on Nov 4th so harvested 6 of the plants about a week before they were ready and got an average of 12.2g of nice nice smoke per plant.
Then disaster, I kept putting off harvesting the plants for various unavoidable reasons, parental visits ect, I noticed a few of the plants weren't doing to well, yellow leaves and they looked dry, which I thought was due to being too close to the heat or too much light so i turned both of these down and waited for my first chance to harvest. I wasn't keeping a close eye on my plants and when it came time to harvest I had a major infestation of what I know believe to be thribs (little fuckers with wings who lay tiny black eggs all over the underside of the leaves and on the buds). I paniced and harvested the last 14 plants, 10 of which had eggs on them, I figured my best chance to get rid of the little cunts was when they were dry and I could just scrape them off. I dried the 4 uninfested plants seperate and they seem okay, if a little sour. From the 10 "knackered" ones once dry I set about knocking/scraping all of the little black eggs off the dried plants with a siv and a toothbrush. The weed is now in jars and doesn't smell right, I assume it's fucked and I should bin it and start again.
Penny for anyone's thoughts. 1st grow, learning curve, still feel like an utter utter twat.
Cheers.
