1st time grower... Please please please provide advise and follow me on this journey

Same happened to mine. Almost a new grower tradition lol. But shows you’re pushing them while also watching close enough to notice the difference. It’ll be just fine.

Even if you do, it’s very likely nothing we can’t help you fix! :v:

Don’t worry, if you’re anything like me, you’ll mess up plenty, but I learned a lot from each mistake, and all were able to be fixed pretty quickly thanks to this forum. A real mistake that a lot of new growers seem to make is not knowing when to ask for help. I threw all my pride out the window and asked for help for every little thing I perceived as a problem, probably been driving the guys watching my journal absolutely insane :rofl:. So just don’t be afraid to ask questions, the only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked.

Bought the same 3 pack as you. Seeds germinated and in jiffy pots at the moment. Hoping they’re not too wet, will go check in a few. This is my second attempt. First time got pretty buds that wouldn’t do diddly. I’m working out of a homemade set up. Cardboard, solar blankets and duct tape. Got infected first time around by some clones I bought in. Starting very clean this time. 2.5 x 4. Have Viparspectra PAR 450 with dimmable lights. Have two grow areas same size. Same lights. Time will tell.

1st Time Grower - near Chicago. Ordered my Super Sprouter with heat pad. Ordered FOXFARM OCEAN Forest FX14000 as my soil for seeding. Ordered Happy Frog Organic Potting Soil and 15 gallon bags for transplanting outside.
Need help buying seeds.
Plan to transplant outdoors in near full sun. Thinking I’d plant 2 different types… Thinking autoflowering, but also luv the idea of big yields…Ideas…Please help! Thx

@borntofarm I got the auto super mix pack from ILGM. It brings 3 different strains.

Make sure there is plenty of airflow around the area you intend to plant in. Mold, mildew and bud rot can be devastating at the end of a grow after all the work and love you put in.

Going for big yields?

Gold Leaf and Blue Dream are two contenders. Im not the biggest fan of autoflowers. Especially for beginners. Every mistake will be magnified.

Critical mass is so named for it’s potential big harvest.

That Gabapentin is no joke. My wife has degenerative discs and she took it for a second. She said it made her feel better but it also made her dizzy and drunk feeling. She did not care for it.

Day 12: last time i watered the ladies was 3 days ago and they seem to be doing fine. I have also switch to 18/6 and they are out of their plastic cup. Rt has been stable at 68 and rh 58-60. In a few weeks I need to start thinking if I want to top them or just do LST. What have been y’all experience topping autos? Here are some updates pictures of them.

Im a fan of all LST… well maybe one topping a bit later then most growers do. Then all lst.

Are they autos?

I don’t top my autos but I do FIM them.

Here’s a few I’ve got growing right now:




As you may see from the first pic it’s a bit of a gamble how many colas come off from the FIM. Photo 1 is a Blue Dream from ILGM, and she behaved more like I topped her than FIM’d her - so I did it twice to get the 7-ish colas I’ve got.

The other 3 all got FIM’d twice as well, and gave me between 8 and 10 colas.
