New Grower much wiser... I think.

Wish I had found this site before I started my first auto grow. I figured I would do what I did with my photo grows, that was my first mistake and it was the first of many unfortunately. Long and short of it I didn't know what the fack I was doing. These ladies don't have the time to recover from the mistakes a noob would make and I found that out in a hurry I look at the various pics with big lollipops and realize my grow is just shy of being a joke. I might be lucky if I get a half Oz a plant which is a great shame cos they look so nice but are just too damn short to give any weight to speak of. Moral of the story... read a lot before starting. If I had I would have maybe i would have gotten my 1/2 grm per watt like I told myself I would. Live and learn I suppose. Only 13" tall, smells yummy and covered in sugar but oh so tiny. My bad not the seed supplier ( Cropking) who have some nice seed and will give good yield. .. if you know what you're doing that is. Peace. Vic

Eh, little more information please. It looks like a great plant, only smaller. Better then nothing and making it through a complete cycle (looks like you have few weeks left yet) is a great accomplishment.

Cheers

I have four just like that one. Between 10 and 14" that look awesome except for their size. By my reconing I have about two more weeks to go, maybe three I'll keep an eye on them for the hairs to turn the right shade of amber. They smell so good too very sweet with a tiny hint of something I can't put my finger on. I think it's the nutes I feed them. Sampled some of the popcorn off the bottom and it's potent enough. Looking at this as part of my learning curve. Vic

Looks healthy ... we all stunted a few starting out ... couple more grows and you'll be growing bushes ...

I hope so I need meds for my wife. Hopefully it'll be enough till I'm more successful. It's definitely nothing like photo growing. Learned a lot though.

Feel free to read thru any of my grows ... the results are easy to duplicate ...

 

[Vic]

Thanks Chester I'll look for your stuff. Can you give me a link to what thread you think might help an auto noob like myself. Maybe a grow journal I might peruse. Thanks. Vic

Many growers here have links to their grows in their signatures ... my NLBB grow was a High Temperature grow and the SODK grow showcased 3 healthy Mephisto plants ...

This link is AFNs section for new growers tips ... https://www.autoflower.org/forums/new-growers-autoflower-academy.44/

#1 tips from me is use non pre fertilized soil ... #2 tip is use a big enough pot ... good luck w/ your grow ...

Many thanks. I'll check that link out. I'm using 3 gal pots and pro mix non fertilizer. Hybrid brand fertilizer from Megawatt hydroponic. Made a big difference once I changed from dutch nutes

You did not mess up that bad. The plant looks pretty good. Your yields will go up with time, good first auto grow.
