My first grow, bagseed from either mids, or reggie (shwag) whatever you wanna call it, i wanted to train myself the first grow season. I swear, buying seeds are soo much better, the seeds will grow better and you will have more of a chance of them surviving and growing into a good yield, i finally got 2 started, 1 got to a certain height, like 1 foot, and it stopped growing taller, then my successful one (reaching about 6-6 1/2 feet) had about a qp to half pound on her, So as you know any adolescent or teen growing up, has lots of friends in high school, you know they grow a plant for the first time and get excited about it, well i fucked up and told too many people, even showed a good amount of people where the plant was, problem is, this town has a stupid amount of fake or shady people, most of the people are good friends so they wernt tryna steal it from it, i was going to smoke a lot of it with them. but there was one dumbass kid, that had to take some, i topped my plant when it was around 3 feet, and it grew about another 3 feet wit the 2 colas in stead of 1, so the plants main stalks looked like a "Y" well his dumbass went back there a night, and obviously tryed to cut the thick branches with some cheap dull ass knife. and split the two colas right where it formed the "Y" so the main stalk was split down the middle. he ended up taking one of the topped colas, leaving me with one, took another branch under that, then another under that. about 1/3 or more of the plant. so i doctored it up and let it grow a week or 2 before cutting it down, fearing he would come back and take the rest of it, i planted in the beginning of june, and harvested like the second or third week of september. The buds didnt get to reach their full potential or get to fill out as much as they could of, or the finished buds would have broken down into more. I've learned a lot from my first season, it was fun,rough,and exciting. You'd be amazed at how many things you learn from it. There are some things i did wrong here and there, but as you go on, you can even more perfect how you do those kinds of things. With time,mistakes,and dicipline comes virtue and success in the end. Keep your friends by your side, But even closer..your foes. I slipped and left a witness. But ill be damned if i make that same mistake this year, more precautions are being taken and more plans are being made before i approach things. I still got some pictures of the plant, forget when i took them, but it was obviously before ol' dude took my shit.
I had some questions though, Living in the suburbs/outskirts of suburbs. What would be a safe number of plants to grow? i dont want to grow a plantation, but i do want more than just one this year. Also, last year i didnt really have a problem with bugs, you know, i'd see a white fly here and there, but i would just flick them off, after a while they went away and i didnt have any other bugs. if i grew more plants, say 5 or 7, how much harder or worse would the bugs be. im not planning on growing all in one spot, maybe throw 2 or 3 plants in one area, and plant 2 or 3 in another area, so if i do have some nosey person wanting free weed, they dont get all of it.
