A Greenhorn's 1st Grow

[key2life]

Thanks, Doc!

It's so crowded in there, it's hard to get the pics I want. I'll do some proper portraits of the ladies when they're done, assuming I don't kill 'em before then.



Ellis - looking forward to your grow, friend!

Checking in @ 45 days into flower. I got all inspired today and took all 9 ladies out of the closet, trimmed and cleaned up the bottoms of all the plants, and tried to get them ready for the stretch run. My aim is to let all the energy of the plants go to the biggest buds, and let more air circulate around the closet at the same time.

Trying to keep a good record of everything, so if it's too many pictures - sorry!

[Dr. Green Fang]

Wow, looking so amazing key! I can only hope to have somewhere near your outcome with my grow!!

Can't wait to see what you yield and hear your thoughts of the entire process.

 

[key2life]

Thanks, Ellis D. - it's been, um, educational!

I know I've missed some opportunities and made some mistakes, but, for a first grow, I've been pretty lucky. Happy so far, for sure!

Well, the first plant is ready to come down. One of the 3 Fruity Chronic Juice ladies has gone amber, so she's been chopped and is drying on the rack as I type this. I had been concerned that I wouldn't be able to recognize when they're ready, but with my $12 Eyeclops it was a no-brainer.

This was the plant that was directly under the 600W HPS for the last couple of weeks, so I guess it makes sense that she finished up first. This was day 52 for her, right in line with the 50-55 day estimate from Delicious Seeds. I've now slid the Hex under the light, so she can have a couple of more weeks under there - as a Sativa dominant strain, she can use it, I'm sure.

I'm really happy to be learning something about harvesting, trimming, and curing now. This whole process is fascinating to me, and, if I were a young man, I'd move my @ss out west and find my place in this industry as it grows and starts to become legal - finally. I'm not done with this, my first, grow yet, but it has been a very fulfilling experience for me.

More later as things continue to finish up. Here are a couple of pics of my first Fruity Chronic Juice girl.

Peace and GREEN MOJO!

Thanks, Doc, TOA and Homie - I appreciate it!

Just checked all my indicas again, and they're all getting amber now.

I'll be busy tomorrow with 6 more to chop. The 2 sativas are still short.

Thanks again for the kind words!

[key2life]

Checking in again. 7 of 9 plants - all the indicas - have been chopped and are hanging in a darkened pantry with indirect air movement being provided by a small fan.

The trimming wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. Still, it's ticky-tacky work, and if I was doing this regularly I'd need to figure out a better ergonomic way to handle it. I enjoyed the actual trimming, though - kind of like pruning roses, which I also enjoy. Very zen-like.

Going to let the 2 sativa dominant strains go a while longer, though the AppleJack is showing some signs of going amber. It'll be 8 weeks day after tomorrow, and the AJ states 8-9 weeks. It'll probably come down soon. The Hex will probably need another week, I'm guessing.

Not much else to report.

Peace, :icon_smile: key :icon_smile:
