So what did you learn, what mistakes did you make and learn from, and could you do better? What upgrades will help you? Lets see a bigger harvest on the next grow.

whats the weight??
Didnt do a wet weight. Its really dry in my area(not today though lol) so it shouldnt take to long to dry. Ill know in a few days.

So what did you learn, what mistakes did you make and learn from, and could you do better? What upgrades will help you? Lets see a bigger harvest on the next grow.
Germate a few seeds because no matter how good of a seed it is, not all will germ maybe 90% and not all germed seeds sprout.
I didnt pack the grow bags big enough because I was trying to fit them in smaller areas so when I went to move them around it created voids in the bags.
I didnt light proof the flowering room good enough in the begining of the flowering so I had balls that formed and actually pollenated a few buds. I have only found 4 seeds in the whole plant bu once I start smokin them Im sure Ill find a few more.
Of course the classic trying buds before they are ready and harvesting just a little to soon.

The one I just chopped was only 9" when I put it into flowering so Im going to vegg a bit longer on the good seeds. I let the last one I put in get to about 12" before flowering

I still have a lot to learn, Ive had some issues with my clones and with random "hot spots" in my soil.
I learned a lot about the nutes, PH and LSTing and my tap water is crap lol. I will give way more nutes from now on. Im going to lst all my plants to maximize the light that I have. As well as getting another emergecy blanket because that makes my room really bright.
Trim the tiny branches that dont get tall enough to get any light since they wont really bud. Try to keep the canopy somewhat even.
Ive learned a lot more then just this also. I wouldnt say I have a green thumb so this is kinda a task for me where as it was a peice of cake for my mother who has always had many house plants around

And mainly. Dont sweat the small stuff! I think they can sense the stress LOL


I still need to buy a really good fan for my reflector before spring comes around and the place heats up. I bought a cool mist humidifier, it helps with the temps in my flowering room. I think if I upgrade its going to be a complete tent set up so I can use the reflector and ballast I have for a MH bulb and use the tent for flowering.
I need to get a few more onces before I can justify spending another $400-500 on a tent set up to the misses.

I have had 100% germ on fem seeds, but not all were fem. Could have been genetics, could have been stress, always plant a few extra just incase!

At least you have more seeds?

Longer Veg time, larger harvest. Just need more light.

I still have a lot to learn, Ive had some issues with my clones and with random "hot spots" in my soil.

I have had good soil turn shitty (Happy Frog) and so have others. I am done with soil!Don't get me wrong, have had great results with soil. Just need to flush once a month in my opionon and check run off PH to make sure it does not get out of control.

I learned a lot about the nutes, PH and LSTing and my tap water is crap lol. I will give way more nutes from now on. Im going to lst all my plants to maximize the light that I have. As well as getting another emergecy blanket because that makes my room really bright.

Brighter the better!

Trim the tiny branches that dont get tall enough to get any light since they wont really bud. Try to keep the canopy somewhat even.

This will focus more of the growth on the top of the plant where its needed....Good!

Upgrades in Ventalation and Lights will help triple your harvest for sure!
Keep it up, continues to learn and updgrade your setup, and in no time will you have High Quality smoke for your self, and don't have to buy shitty weed. You grow it, you smoke it, and you know its good!

All great advise. Your the man, thanks for helping me bro

I added some CFL's to my flowering room to help with the lighting

My soil got frozen.. I had to thaw it out before I could plant my seeds. I think that screwed it up.
At the moment I cant seem to get the gigabud seed to germ. I thought it had cracked but it was I was wrong. I gave it a light sqeeze to see if it was water rot and it seemed ok so I put it in a fresh paper towel and Im still tryin.

The rhino didnt sprout yet after 2 and a half days.. Kinda disturbing but I gently moved the dirt away to see how it was doin and the root hasnt really grown much lol. The root still looks good but it shouldnt take this long, something is wrong.
I had no trouble with my bagseed so this is kinda lame

Im sure it will be ok though. Some of my bagseed took a long time to germ and some took up to a week to sprout so Ill just try not to worry about it.


I noticed my clone had roots sticking out of the rapid rooters in a couple of different places so I put it in soil 2 days ago and when I checked on it the next day it wasnt lookin so hot. The brand new growth looks ok but some of the leafs look like they didnt like the move into the soil.

That clone has really taken off since that photo. I think it just got a little shocked from the transplant into soil. Its already shot up about an 1/2 inch.

I checked on the white rhino last night and it was rotted.... A real bummer, I told my mom I would trade her my clone for her white rhino seed so I can try again.. I suck lol
My big bang germed and 3 of my Power skunk so I stuck them in the dirt last night. I put 4 bag seeds in the dirt last night also just incase the good ones dont turn out so good.

Im really happy with the quality of the smoke I got. Its really stoney, been smokin to much of it but I havent had anything else so its kinda silly to deprive myself when there is good smoke right there.
The smaller buds are dry enough to rooll up so I put them in a jar. I put the bigger buds in a paper bag to dry a little longer before going into the jars. The bigger buds will smoke but Id like them just a little drier
I weighed everything and it weighed 29 grams. I will probably lose a little bit more after curing but they seemed as dry as the last smoke I bought lol

So I got about an once in all maybe a little more with the couple of buds I sampled along the way.
Im happy and I know Ill get at least an 1.5 onces off the next one that I cut.
Its been flowering for 24 days now.
It stopped stretching after 17 days so by the 40/60 theory I should start check trichs at about day 43 :grin:
Its nodes are tighter and I LSTed it to get more light to the side branches. I also cut any branches that didnt make it to the light and cut one fan leave that was blocking light. I was still didnt LST it as much as I should.
The one thats been in there 1 week I LSTed down far so some of the side branches are actually higher then the main cola right now. Im sure after its done stretching it will catch up.

I kept a male in veg so I could try toppin. I cut the top 3 days ago and there is more shoots coming off already. They are about 3/16 right now.

Feeling good and smokin good green. I am going to make sure all the big buds cure properly before I smoke them. I havent had cash to buy any decent smoke($350) but I might pick up a once of some brick weed for $50.

Smoke that green! I am totally out from my last harvest. Can't wait to replenish my jars! It going to be about 6 weeks till my Belladonna's are done. And about 8 weeks for white rhino and power skunk to finish. Still need to find out if my mums are male or female based on the clones....There taking longer then I thought to show sex.

Whats up buddy, yeah I havent been on that much these last few days. Been really busy. My company just had 4 jobs start at the same time. Its either feast or faman lol. Man I have been smokin the shit outta this stuff. My lady is finally excited about growing. Now that we just saved ourselfes a bunch of money for the month :hump:
So you lady is doing good. Nice to hear
When are you getting up some pics of that sexy bitch you got?

Hell yeah Im still growing. Im going to start another journal for this next grow but I still have 4 in flowering. Ill throw up a few pics


Oh yeah so my buds are smokin good. I let a few friends try them out and they said it was better then the shit thats going around right now. Smells good, taste good with only a week of curing and gets me Stoneddddd :grin:
Im going to cure some of it in a seperate jar for a few weeks though. See how good it can get



All flowering plants are the same bagseed I grew the first time
There is some nute burn in most of the pics. Since I failed to learn about nutes the first time Im having to do it now lol. I can expect a little bit of burn
The plant in the back right iwent into flowering on 12-21.
The one on in the back left went in on 12-28. I had some PH shock so I need to watch for any signs of going hermy.
The other 2 went in on 1-7
I was trying to spread them apart so I can always have smoke but it makes it really hard to feed them all different strength nutes at different times while steppin up to full strength. So from now on Im just going to grow a bunch at a time and make it easy on myself

Bud pics and before and after pictures of the clone from the plant in the back right
