New Grower Tips for first grow

That sucks dude, lucky you caught it though

Yeah definitely. TBH tho if @Eyeoftheworld hadnt suggested cutting a bit off to smoke I wouldn't have realised. So in fact @Eyeoftheworld caught it! I'll be having a smoke of it tonight and I'll let you all know how she's tasting

And thankfully I still got a super skunk and two fast and vast which will be ready soon. My amnesia haze and dark purple are looking good too. With a bit of luck they'll be down by the end of November

@Eyeoftheworld keeping her eye on things as usual good job!!
Honestly some of the best smoke I ever tasted was a herm it was clearly at the end of its life when it hermied, but I doubt yours should taste bad

I just wanted him to smoke some pot!

Haha don't we all! I've been so busy the last 24 hours I haven't had chance to have a smoke yet. Hopefully I can taste my fruits sometime this evening or maybe tomorrow

Also I'm uncertain to what has caused it hermie. She first started looking stringy just before I cut her fan leaves so I'm not 100% sure if the stress from that caused it. Do u think it could be from that then? Or maybe just a dodgy seed?

Hey Luke,i wouldnt worry about it to much..heres a few things to keep in mind for future grows ...there is a clear difference between plants that are hermie ,plants that shoot nanners,and true male plants,do a lil research so you know,itll improve your grow skills..That plant may have had to many Photo genes also..dont worry about the plants you have left( if they were pollinated) cause if it did happen,its too late,but there are signs that will show when a flower gets pollinated,the first being,the bud will stop growing cause the energy will be put into making a viable seed,do some research there also....each grow will make you better,and its only by having issues that you will truely become a great grower,if nothing went wrong you would never learn how to work thru issues,and this IS the key to unlocking your potential..bottom line,your hitting a home run..next is a grand slam!!! Peace bro...

That's true. Thank you so much for your kind words mate. It means a lot

I finally got around to having a smoke of it last night and I must say the smoke is pretty decent. It's no where near has harsh as I thought I would and it gives a really good buzz too. It is drying a lot quicker than expected mind

 

[Daipot]

The bud has dried peeps. It only took 4 days and weighed in at 60 grams. I've kept about 10 grams to smoke and the rest has gone in the freezer to make some hash. I'm still gutted it hermied but I suppose life goes on haha.

I'm debating on wether to start the flush on the other super skunk today. She hasn't grown any bigger in well over a week but her leaves are all still green. I'm thinking that she's been pollinated but I see no evidence of seeds. Maybe it's a matter of time before she starts creating them, I'm not sure. I'm also toying with the idea of given her a few days feed of overdrive just to see if I can bulk her up a little before the chop. What do u guys think? Flush and chop or try the overdrive first? Just to add, all her trichomes are milky but about 50% of her pistils are white.

On another note. My dark purple is ready to chop down. She's reached her peak and I started her flush yesterday. She hasn't got much on her, probably be around 8-10 grams dry. But every little helps haha.

Well, well, well. It's been a long journey and now I can say it's reached it end. Just cut down the remaining super skunk and the two fast and vast. I've pulled 739 grams wet weight off the two. I'm guessing I'll get around 7 ounces dry weight. If that's what I get I'll be really happy. I haven't included the dark purple in that number. She had hardly any weight on her so I haven't included it. Also, that 739 isn't including the 60 dry weight I got off the other super skunk.

I'd like to say a great big massive and thank you to the entire AFN community in helping me with this project. Especially the ones who've took the time and stood by me through my various threads. You guys know who you are .

I'll be updating this thread in few days to let you all know the dry weight. Hopefully I'll be having the smoke of the century by the weekend.

Just too add. I've got two fast and vast, two northern light x big bud, two moby dick xxl by dinafem and one critical mass-monster mass ready for my next grow.

So, here's me singing out! Peace out brothers and sister!!!!
