Thought I'd do a grow journal!

3/17: I’m all about the green today for St Pattys day! Lol
Plants are starting to smell pretty good! They are 30-33 days old today.





My short plant (and youngest) needs a little boost to get closer to the light

Looking great my man I’m starting my very first grow of auto’s check my post out. Question i was wanting to know is. Is it better to top auto’s or just let them go on there own ? I’m growing GDP’S

@bowking Everyone on here will more than likely tell you not to top an auto. I can tell you from personal experience that it is pretty risky and can stunt your plant. I had one that was stunted from topping that only produced a 1/3 oz of dried bud. I am still topping them but I have decided that I will remove a plant if it is showing any stunting issues like I faced before. So I think depending on what your risk appetite is with potentially stunting them will determine whether you should top or not.

Here’s a pic of 2 topped purple kush autos that i grew, 1 stunted and one not.

If i don’t top. how much yield can i expect from GDP’S? well you know what i mean approximate

No clue, all of that depends on the environment and what you do to the plant.

3/20: watering day! I think i need to do some defoiliating soon. Runtz is coming along much faster with flowering than the others but that was how my last runtz was that I grew.

3/24: I meant to take better pictures when I watered them yesterday but I was in a hurry. Everything seems pretty good with them. I defoliated some leaves on the bottom to make watering easier. They are starting to stretch!!

4/2: 7 weeks old! My husband is out getting me a new ac unit for the grow space, yesterday temps got up to 86 degrees. It cooled back down overnight but not for very long. I was pretty surprised they didnt seem too phased by the temps.

They are pretty bushy!


I added 2 bar supports for LSD

I got a new ac unit for my grow space, too! Im hoping it can keep up with the temps but if not, we are going to switch it and put it in our camper and then get a bigger one for my space.

4/11: Soooooo I just pulled up the details on my gorilla glue auto plant from Fastbuds (I’ve never grown them begore, only ilgm) and this strain is typically ready to chop in 7 to 10 weeks from seed. My GG is 55 days old from seed, or almost 8 weeks. I just got a new microscope and took so.e pics of the trichomes. Any thoughts?





This looks ready to me, well almost, I’d like more like 20% amber. Here are pics of the plant




Heres my new bong that is eager to smoke her!

Looks to me like it’s got some time to go still seeing some clear and not that many amber

Ok good, thats what I am hoping to hear! I want it to fatten up a bunch, too! Thanks

It looks like the slightly amber trichomes are on the sugar leaves wait until the amber trichomes start to form on the bud you will be happy you did.

I was panicking thinking this one was going to finish before she had time to bulk up! I’m still surprised how fast the trichs are coming along though.

4/17: I’m super bad lately with getting new pics. Plants are doing good at 9 weeks old!
