First Timer, 3rd Week Flower, Leaf Prob

[teemstro]

People keep bitchin about how Issue 3 is a monopoly and Yada Yada but hell yeah I'm voting for it. Not like I got a couple mill for a grow site and I aint waiting for next year like we typically do in Cleveland lol.

Lights are on at night, yes. Luckily it hasn't been too too cold so I think she is gonna make it. Was hoping to harvest by Halloween but may give her another week after that

Today marks day 57 of flower... Gonna give it another week and chop her down. Exciting. As you can see, leaves still look like poop but oh well. Nugs look sweet. Nice and sugary, smelling great.

What is the feeding history of that girl...looks like salt build up...I'd flush that before cutting UNLESS you haven't been feeding her at all? Never saw a plant look quite like that... The buds should be fine though.

The only thing I fed her was Overdrive. But that was only once, the last time I watered. Other than that, whatever is in FFOF...my guess is that it ran out of the nutes that were in the soil and I should have added some bloom at the beginning of flower. Now the fans are totally necrotic on this top nug, but it's ok. Live and learn, this is my first grow.

Chopped her down today...was quite a sad experience. My hands smell scrumptious as I forgot to wear gloves. Probably going to be sticky for the next week. Hopefully my first trim job is OK.

Not that anyone cares at this point, but I can't help myself. Apparently having the type of leaf prob I did during flowering isn't the end of the world, because my first nugs came out delicious. I don't own a scale so I can't say what I came out with, but if I had to guess I'd say a paltry half ounce...definitely going to be topping and LST training much more on my next girl. Was too scared this go'round being my first time for some reason.

It's crazy how much they shrink after drying a few days. My top cola looked like it was going to be atleast a quarter alone when it was wet. Oh well, I am so glad with the outcome. I never thought I would grow my own cannabis, yet I did. Now I gotta wait a couple months, else veg a newborn for 6 months before the weather gets acceptable again to flower in the garage. Damn climate. [and/or wife that won't allow me to turn the basement into a farm]

Just began curing. Only hung dry for 5 days but they seemed to be getting harder on the outsides of the nugs. I just blazed a little nug tonight to test it out. It burned a little fast, but tasted fantastic. I was surprised because when opening the jars, they still have a bit of grassy smell so I was anticipating odd taste. The high is just like any other dank I've come by in my days. Love it. Can't believe I produced it.

How much did you get dry ? An well done

 

[polishpollack]

maybe it was the overdrive that caused the damage?

Thanks guys. Four months of having the patience of a saint but it paid off.

I don't have a scale so not sure exactly, but just eyeballing it I would say about a half ounce haha. Pretty shitty, but now I know the importance of training it during veg.

The Overdrive didn't come into play until about week 6 of flower, so it definitely wasn't that. My guess is that the nutes in the soil ran out and since I didn't bother adding any during flower, other than OD which was too late, the plant just started cannabalizing itself.

Good times though. Fun stuff. I just planted an OG kush seed so we shall see how that goes

usually leaves go yellow when the nutes run out. if your leaves when straight brown for the most part, it might be something else.

No way it was Overdrive. I use so much more then just overdrive on my plants. You needed more food if anything.
Nice grow man, I'm hoping to harvest mine (with overdrive being used) in a few weeks

Sucks it shrinks when drying eh? Meh, I like my smoke a lil wet anyways, not sure if its just me or what. To each their own.

the way your greener leaves are curling in the first set of pictures looks like its too low humidity, nugs came out nice

Merry Xmas -the nug fam
