Come Grow With Me: A Beginners Guide

Hi Marco. Thanks & Welcome to 420 Mag. Been a While since I did a Gorilla Glue or an Auto. My buddy just grew one for his 1st grow. He only got 1.5 oz. but it was pretty frosty & a good buzz so a good learning grow for him. Now he went nuts & bought 3 tents & has 25 plants flowering & can't keep up... lol. I warned him it would be a F.T. job.

The hardest part of a 1st grow is leaving your plants alone to do their thing. Even the 2nd & 3rd grow are that way. But over time you get use to things & just let them grow. In Veg I water every 3 days & LST once per week once the plants are big enough. The less you handle them, it seems the faster they grow. So just look & if nothing looks bad, leave them alone. No need to touch them unless doing LST, Defoliation or something is wrong.

Time to post some pics of the 5 x 5 tent.
 
Time for some 5 x 5 pics. Here's 2 group shots to get the ball rolling.

I had one of the best tutors around this site. Although she & I were members on another site back then. I see you have her watering tutorial in your signature. She's one of the very best growers on here IMO. Many years of experience!
Between Emilya, In The Shed, Farside 05 & Mr. Sauga's advice it's hard to go wrong. They all know their stuff & are my go to guys for help when needed.
 
No, didn't use the trim. Threw it out. Not sure what all you can make with it. Tried making butter once but I think I made it too strong & the cookies were terrible tasting. I think I used about 35 gr. trim to 2 sticks of butter. Figured it would take a lot more since it was trim.
But the Hash sounds like something I would be interested in. I'll have to see how to make it for the next trim. Thanks.
Thankfully a very simple and easy process to do and well worth the little effort too. I have a thread on ice hash and there are many here too. you would never waste another leaf once you smoke your own hash. .

By the way... I thought you said our old friend Weez from that site was headed over here. I have been looking for his hawaiian wisdom to show up here, but so far have not spotted him.
 
Jumping in to learn what I can! Playing catch up though. Currently on page 38 of 57...it may be a while before I'm completely caught up. Haaa haaaa.

From what I have seen so far looks amazing! I hope to get some pretty plants like that soon.

I did mention it to him & I thought he was coming but I guess not. He doesn't seem the same. He barely posts anything.
When we talked he pretty much said he just keeps to himself & does his own thing these days. Almost seems depressed.
 
Hi all ! A friend of mine called the other day & needed help at his print shop so I've been working 10 hour days. It's just temporary as he has someone out right now & I'm filling in. But I'll take any work I can get.
Anyway, I'll get a weight on the 1 Peyote this weekend. I put a Cherry on Top in the closet for a dark spell. Start harvesting in a day or two. I'll update everything over the weekend. I'll also start the new journal.
But can't afford to turn down work, so I'll update on my 1st day off.
 
OK, got 3 - 4 days before my friend will need help again so time to update.
So we'll start with the 5 x 5 Tent. This tent will be replaced soon as I have a new tent without 100 pin holes on the way.
Looking forward to that. I got the Mars Tent since it has the 1080 D fabric. Should last way longer then the piece of crap LA Garden tent.
So currently in the 5 x 5 are 2 - Peyote Wi Fi & 2 - Cherry on Top. I harvested one of the 3 Cherry on Top this morning so only the 2 remaining. Another one is getting harvested tomorrow.

These 2 will be the last to get harvested. The buds looked done on one side; but they were so close together the other side was pretty green still. As flimsy as these branches are I just untied them & let them hang down to get light on that side.

Anyway, I did cut the buds of the branches of the Peyote Wi Fi I harvested a week ago. Still need to weigh & jar it, so the results later today.
 
Now the 2 - Cherry on Top.

This has got to be one of my favorite strains. Good tasting, stinky, sticky, knock ur dick in the dirt weed ! I just love this stuff. I'm still smoking on the little 1.5 oz. I got off the small one a couple weeks ago. This trim I am learning to make Hash with. Too good to waste it.

I wish I could find more seeds (fems) for this strain. They are "Cannarado Genetics" which several seed banks carry. Just haven't found this strain yet. If anyone comes across it please let me know.
 
Peyote Wi Fi #1 Harvest Weight & Pics. I got 5.75 oz. of nice Buds & about .5 oz. of popcorn off this girl. Didn't weigh the popcorn; so just a guess on that. But 6.25 oz. isn't good; but it's not bad either. I can live with that.
So here's some pics. Some kind of dark. Sorry. This camera isn't all that great. Not all that good of lighting in the room either.
