Nice grow m8, yeah i know mine were small, it was my second grow, this picture was like 3 weeks prior to harvest and i went by breeder's instructions as they specified 70 days from seed to harvest, i just recently learned that its better to ignore those marketing strategies and just leave them for 8 to 10 weeks in flower. I will do it this upcoming grow, i even got 9x11liter pots to fit 9 plants and will do a SOG.
The canopy is not even but you got badass buds just as fat as big momma.
Happy harvests.

Your research was worthless.
As a n00b, you'll get 1oz or under from each plant.

My first 2 grows were autos. First was 11oz from 2. second was 17oz from 1 and I never counted 5oz of fluffy stuff for the official weigh in iether.
Autos aren't what you think they are bud and they're certainly not difficult to grow.
Just need a little of the right information and they can outyield photos no problem.
Not as strong obviously but definately better yield vs time.

Would disagree on two points.
1. No need to grow from seed on photos, clone.
2. Veg on the windowsill, the tent is for flowering.

My harvest cycle is just dependent on flowering time.
As for tent size, I can fit 2 photos max in a 2' x 4' tent.
I tend to run my tent open, so I can use light spill and the window to veg my clones outside the tent.

Yeah it sucks buying seeds all the time but just journal and you get them all free anyway lol.
I'm about to try my first perpetual photo grow with 3 grow spaces. Never been able to do it due to local law but got a med patient who'll be dead by the time he sees court if it doesn't work out so were going full tilt.
Starting with 20 and should be upto around 80 before long.
That'll kick auto yield all day long but for a 1 space grow I'd still always go auto if I didn't need the strength. Not a heavy stoner so I don't like the mad stuff anyway. Just need enough to stop the voices in my head lol.
I say lol but I'm being half serious haha

That was my second grow as well. You dont harvest based on a calendar, you harvest based on when they are ready.

Haven't paid for a bean since my first grow lol. I'm only 2 reviews away from a 1k limit on sponsors on another forum. Just can't be arsed cos they expect too much from you in return. Ruins the fun of helping people when you're doing it because you have to.
They snipered me and expected me to run 6 seperate journals simultaneously after telling me I could take multiple sponsors for a big grow battle but would only update one thread. Pissed me off no end.
Went to gc and that's full of ass holes.
Uk420 also full of ass holes.
Got banned from ic mag on my first post for asking where the sponsor section was as I owed 3 companies a grow. Admin thought I was on the scrounge but already had the seeds and just wanted somewhere to journal. Also ass holes.
Seems sweet here though. I'll just try and avoid the politics section and should be good haha.
Be getting a journal on shortly to blow some smoke in dutch passions direction so I hope they're on the list here :)

IC Mag banns anynone that says anything bad about the site and the scams they do with seeds. EVERYONE gets banned from there XD AFN is nice, but almost there. You can't fart at home without getting 24 hour bans and mod messages if you offend their friends. RIU is the best fourm. Full of people that don't know much, but as long as no racist/sexist/threats you can talk like grown ups and give someone the F off they need. It's double sided sword here, but wouldn't trade it for anything.

I've been doing it for a couple years, it's nice to get the genetics you want but it becomes a chore and kind of stressful sometimes. You want to make sure to make their product look good but sometimes a grow just goes bad. I've started reversing the genetics now of the strains I want to work with in the future so I wont have to worry about it. I'll only do it now if I see some new genetics that really excite me.

Yeah afn is the one I was sponsored by lol. They've got an army of mods that are all paid in sponsorships. Get anything you want for free. Entire hydro set ups, nutes, black dog leds, quantums, Rhino extraction, you name it they'll give you it. So they all take their jobs quite seriously. Sure I still officially have my position but I won't be back. Haven't been for a year or so. Still got my beans for the sponsors though so I'll fulfil my commitments for them eventually.
Definately a different vibe here from the rest of them though.
Allowed to talk about trips for a start. That's nice to be able to do without folk calling you a junkie bastard.
I like it so far man. Busiest site I've been on too and there's gotta be a good reason for that :)

Yeah definately not wrong there mate. Stressful being the key word. I come to these sites mostly to kill boredom and keep me off Facebook but also cos it's fun.
Once the fun turns to stress it definately loses its appeal.

Ah yeah I had a look there. One of the reps told me that one but I hated the set up. Too hard to use. This formats the winner though.
Think I'll fit in just fine here :).
Click to expand...
What do you mean the format is too hard to use?
You have a box for every piece of information so you can track and share your progress.
Its organized by weeks and sets the info in such a way that its easy to find what your looking for.
Looking for yield? Go to harvest week and in the weight you find the yield wet and dry.
Looking for height progression? Go thru the weeks and in "height" you can see the different height it had thrughout the grow.
Looking for strain? Its right there on the top of the diary.
Looking for ammount of water given? Nutes used? And in wich ammounts.. its all there. Even the light, the tent, everything. You can keep every information tracked precisely and easily, and you still have a box for text where you can type just as much as you would here.

I'm not going ham as if i don't like you because you don't like it, i honestly couldn't give 2 shits about it, i'm just pointing out that its pretty easy to use with a simple yet detailed interface.

Nah it just baffled me mate. Too well organised if that makes sense.
I like to talk a bit of nonsense in my journals and keep it fun.
Last propper one was about 90 pages lol.
All the important stuff goes on the first page then I do step by step as I'm going along.
I like to be able come and chat shit with folk like yourself too and it was just all a bit too regimented for me.
Keep it light and interesting and more people join in. I don't do fb, Twitter or anything like that so this is my social media too.
Ffs if you see me in the politics section tell me to go bed though haha.

If i for some reason even were to go to the politics section its because i had too much sativa, i would be lucky to even remeber who i am as far as i know.
But yeah i get your point, its like some people spend their day on facebook, other do so on tiktok, they are both social platforms so they are similar, but they end up being completely different, i for example only use fb and instagram and its already too much, but others can spend their day going thru all of the available social platforms.
