New Grower 1st grow… Banner and Girl Scout Cookies

Day 77- Upped the Bloom dose to about 10-12mL per gallon on #2 and #3 and they are looking a bit better. Gonna keep going with that.
#1 is not showing much change in size despite starting the feeding again. the but the glands seem to be turning more. pretty much all of the fan leaves have died off and a lot of those in the buds have as well.

Sugar leaves have quite a bit of amber. Buds have some too, but not a ton. Most look cloudy to me. What do you all think, a few more days? A week or so? I know.. I’m impatient haha…

Still looks like a lot of clear to me :coffee:

Yeah, been reading a bit on these GSC. Seems these going 13-15 weeks is not uncommon. So yeah, Maybe I just need to learn what I’m looking at. Once I ”see it”, maybe I will be better educated next time. They certainly don’t seem to be overripe. I’ll continue to be patient and get started on my next grow.

This is one of my current girls, she's *almost* where I want her. I'm hoping to lean into her sativa side as I'm looking for my unicorn day time meds, so I want as much cloudy as possible with minimal clear and amber.

Happy NY everyone!

Day 84- Entering Week 13
Amber all over the sugar leaves on #1. Most all foliage has dropped off. I have to be close right?, maybe give it another week or so?

#2 and #3 still a little behind but seem to be catching up quickly. Despite a good dose of nutes every day they are starting to yellow and die off. Buds are starting to fatten up Good. Got some ambers on the leaves and some others are starting to cloud up.

Chopped #1 yesterday. Looks like it’s gonna be a pretty decent haul for one plant. After dry and final trim, hopefully 50-75g? Happy with it for my 1st harvest. some dense buds, some a little loose. But smells great.

Got it all brown bagged up for drying. room humidity is around 35% (quite dry right now here in Va) bags are reading anywhere between 75-80%. Is this too high? Or reasonable to start?

Humidity still seemed quite high after a couple days, so hung the bags and checked a day later.. and the outer shell/leaves felt really really dry!, Humidity was low low in the bags ..around 45%!

Safe to say.. I was wigging out a little bit... out of caution went ahead and jarred things up.. After 8-12 hours in the jar, hygrometer reading around 70%. So still have a way to go it seems.. so this is good I think… gonna give it a couple more days in the bag and back to the jar overnight to check again.

Had 7 quart jars loose at about 3/4 full, so just for shits and grins weighed the semi-dry bud and came in at just over 200g! I know that will still drop significantly but if I end up with half of that in weight and good quality.. I will be tickled..

Well, safe to to say I’m pretty happy with my first grow. Took a lot of time caring for these ladies and it paid off. I am a little stupified by the yield I got here. GSC#1 dried and at approx 62% gave me about 6.9oz, GSC#2 - 8.7oz. And the little Banner 4.35 oz for a total yield of approx. 20oz.

Give it, not a 100% accurate measurement as they could be trimmed a second time round and there is some stem in there too. But still.. very happy.. Properly manicured I would think at least 10-12oz. And it’s quality smoke too. Also have about 4oz of trimmings and larf along with a nice pile of keef vacuum sealed and in the freezer for some future hash/edibles.

Thanks too all that helped with this grow. Your expert advice was a huge help.

Just starting a mixed grow w/2 autos (Mokums Tulip and a Northern Lights) and 2 photos (a clone of Critical Mass and an Ayuasca Purple).

Space is a challenge so hopefully not biting of more than I can chew. I’m gonna shoot to veg the photos slowly on a 18/6 and after the autos are done give then give them all of the light on a 12/12. Hopefully my closet doesn’t turn into a jungle..
