New Grower First ever grow. Mephisto/RocBudInc

Thanks man! Starting out I was hoping to keep a plant alive at least long enough to get a bit of smoke. So I am ecstatic with my final results.

So many helpful folks here on AFN to help new growers. I am grateful for such an awesome resource!

My 2nd grow is just starting. It’ll get its own journal soon. Day 2 here:

great journal, what a fantastic result of that light! You’ve got a really nice sounding stash of flavours now, enjoy! I’ll follow the new one too...
 
Lightly trimmed Forum Stomper out of the HerbsNow after 90 hours. I am officially weighed in over 120g total yield with another bit still hang drying. I am expect that will come down Sunday. That’s counting everything that didn’t end up in the trim pile.

Hey all.

I planted a couple seeds last week and had germination success (mostly). I’ve managed to keep the oldest seedling alive for 7 days, so figured it was time to start an official journal of my first grow.

Set up:
2x2 tent
HLG 65 4000k for veg/HLG 100 3000k for flower
4” exhaust fan and carbon filter + hurricane clip-on fan
citric acid ph’d tap water. Shooting for around 6.5
Container: 2 in 5L fabric pots, 1 in 2.5L air pot.
Medium: 1/3 Kind Soil layered under 2/3 Roots Organic Original
Nutrients: none to start. I plan to top dress with Roots Organic Uprising Bloom in flower if/as needed. I will be starting a small weekly dose of Real Growers Recharge this weekend.

I planted 3 seeds directly to soil last week.

Rocbudinc’s Purple Scoops came up fast and is on Day 7 since sprout. Most vigorous grower of the 3 so far.

Mephisto Double Grape x 3 Bears OG came up next and is on Day 5. You can see the leaf tips are a bit twisted and they have been doing that since it sprouted. It has had better growth the past 2 days, so I hope it’s not too stunted.

My 3rd seed (meph northern cheese haze) never sprouted. I dug up a still ungerminated seed after a week and replanted with a Mephisto Forum Cookies. That has now sprouted and is on day 2 and looks good so far to my untrained eye.

I am still only watering with a spray bottle, but plan on doing a slightly more thorough watering with Recharge tomorrow.

Right now I am on 24/0 and not yet running exhaust fan as temperature and humidity seem to be mostly ideal with 75-80F and 65-75RH. I would say average has been 79F at 70RH. At what point should I consider switching to 20/4 and turning on the exhaust fan?

Edit: also, the powder in the pots is diatomaceous earth. Only applied as a preventative measure since I noticed a couple ants in the laundry room where the tent is located.
Happy Growing :) Bears OG perfect strain.

Those are some pretty nugs buddy. A good harvest.
 
Great job my friend. You are definitely cut out to grow autos! You pulled over a G a watt on your first grow. Outstanding! Post the link here when you start your other journal

Hey thanks! Will do!
 
OK. This one is in the books. Here is 140g dried and trimmed. Plus add 7 grams pressed into Rosin plus everything my wife and I puffed in the last week. 150-ish grams....something like that!! :pass:

Empty jar and hygrometer for the tare.
