New Grower First grow ever

[CannabisMingus]

AK girl is always drooping a little at the end of the light cycle.

This is normal. Plants "know" when the dark cycle is about to start so they loose turgidity right before lights off.

in your opinion what strains are staying small enough to fit my 80x80x180 tent, apart from the dwarf one ?

At 180cm you should have enough height to run several cultivars. In terms of footprint, I would run one plant, maybe two with the right ones. One plant can fill an 80x80 tent (at least in hydro). I would concentrate on one or two plants until you are comfortable with what your tent can produce and have it dialed in.

In terms of cultivar recommendations, look at Night Owl Milk and Qookies and Mephisto Strawberry Nuggets (or crosses with that strain). IMHO, YMMV, etc.

This is awesome, thanks for the input ^^

Oh I have a question regarding my next grow : in your opinion what strains are staying small enough to fit my 80x80x180 tent, apart from the dwarf one ?
My criteria are high level of THC, fruity and citrus flavor, fast grow ^^

Thanks

Sorry, I don't have enough first hand experience to help. I suggest you start a separate thread with that question to see what suggestions peeps here might have for you.

Ok thanks, I will do that.
@CannabisMingus pointed me to some ideas already

there are tons of breeders but for faster finishing, high thc maybe look at fastbuds or Mephisto also seedstockers are another that I think may be of interest but It just depends on what you are after taste and strain wise I've ran tons from all of them lot

There is a trick that I want to post, a gimmick of some sort which helped me a lot with freaking fungus gnats...

It's a "mosquito racket" !
Very easy to catch the little bastards

I use this model, I even have one more in my office for mosquitos...

Here's link to amazon.fr, but I think it's available anywhere :

Fortunately I only had a few of these insects in my little tent, now their number is close to 0 haha !
(But I still don't understand how they entered in the first place : I have mosquito nets everywhere and my soil was brand new biobizz light mix).

Hope this helps !

Hi everyone,

Just a little update.
My royal dwarf is a special girl ! She has mainly 3-finger leaves, some 4 and 5-finger... is that a genetic flaw, or is it a particularity of this strain ?
Also, she seems to keep water much longer than the others, which is fine, only some more work lol

About my royal jack auto from RQS, they say that she should be ready to harvest around week 11-12, same as amnesia haze.
But the latter seems to be much more advanced in flowering than the royal jack, despite the fact that they sprouted at the same time.
So I think that at some point the jack must have been stunted, problem is I don't know really what went wrong...
Overall I can see that the plants are healthy, so I don't worry and I'm not in a hurry !).

About the royal jack, do you think I should remove the lower little buds and leaves and stems ?

Here's my little garden today... very busy place lol !
Lower left is royal jack auto - upper left is AK auto - upper right is amnesia haze auto and lastly is small small little royal dwarf ^^

Currently T° is 24C and RH is 52%
Does it seem correct regarding the stage of flowering ?

I wanted to thank everyone on AFN, I'm so happy to be here !
Such an incredible amount of knowledge and a very unique friendly feeling... you rock !

Happy growing !

Everything is looking well and your smashing your first grow ever, you will learn alot here and get even more hooked on learning about the plant we all love,

The 3 finger leaf girl could be overfed or light stressed, they grow 3 finger leafs when stressed ive learned,

Oh I see...
I give her 1/2 dose/5L as recommended by the breeder for auto, so maybe it could be about light stressed.
She's so small compared to the other 3, it's only a few days ago I thought about elevating her so she gets more light, also to even the canopy a bit.
Or maybe it's more ancient than that, as I struggled a little at the seedling stage (I planted them in a rather dry soil).
