I’ve got my 3rd ever plant, pink runtz photo, in veg (first pic). I’m growing in a tent with 2-100w led VIVOSUN lights, 5 gal fabric pots, promix hp soil. I use jacks 321, no bloom or booster. Careful attention to environment conditions. I see pics of single plants going wild. I know that largely comes with time and experience, and I’m growing for personal use only so my objective isn’t to push hard and fast at any cost.
I just harvested my first plant in the tent in December (second plant ever). I got 2 oz from her (second and third pic - one post feed, the other post harvest). I topped her once and LST’d with clips. I have a net but haven’t used it as my plant didn’t really grow big enough or tall enough…
Being a new grower, my main focus is health of plant and harvesting whatever I can. But at the same time if I can implement things to boost yields, I would like to do so on these grows bc learning while going seems of value.
Any suggestions of methods or practices I could focus on as a new grower?
Longer veg time. Avoid stress or HST early in life, could stunt. I like to fill most of the lights footprint before flipping. Keep medium in check. Keep environment in check. Basically appropriate ppms, pH, temps, and humidity.
That’s a photo? Looks good, but also seems more like an auto.
Yes. Use better genetics, better quality seeds. Vegetative cycle is 12 hrs lights on, 5.5 off, 1 on, 5.5 off. Flowering, 8 hours on, 16 off. This will give the short-day plants the darkness they love, you get a healthier plant, bigger yield, better resin production. If you go with my first tip, and use regular seeds from a quality source, you’ll get to see that last bud swell that makes real good sinsemilla. Save money at the same time. Dont fall for the misinformation. Better to study horticulture and gardening because all the cannabis specific info is 98% bs marketing or superstitions passed on by imitation.
It is a photo, primarily I suppose. I ordered from Herbies. It’s a feminized fast photo. Originally planned on growing outdoors, but my first plant was at war with caterpillars. So, I bought a tent.
I scrutinize medium, and environment. I test my ph, ec/ppm for every feed. Just now learning about testing runoff.
If everything is on point and you were in veg for an appropriate amount of time, I’d say that the overall size is probably a genetic thing. Environment can make a difference in how a plant grows, primarily down to vigor.
Feminized seeds are weak, genetically. They will need more nutrients, more water, and they have lowered pest and plant pathogen resistance. If you can grow a tomato plant, you can grow marijuana. Dont make it more complicated than it is, or its going to cost you more and more.
OP. That is what you get for yield with a fast bud. They burn bright just not long. BTW you did outstanding.
Cram a bunch of autos in or a few photos and run them till they fill 1/2 the tent then flip.
Based on your final pics you need no help with lights or nutes or environment. Genetics determined this outcome.
The best cannabis I’ve ever grown/used came from feminized seeds.
Yes; regular seeds can produce higher numbers than feminized but all depends on genetics. (assuming ideal conditions) I regularly do at or near a pound of flower per plant with feminized seeds in an indoor environment.
I would follow the advice of experienced growers who have been around here awhile instead of someone who joined a few hours ago and has deficient ditch weed, but that’s my 2 cents. Happy growing!
