First Grow(virgin here)...thoughts?

[Bruja64]

Sort of embarassed here. This is my first grow, all CFL's. I know it's not as awesome as most I see here, but I did learn alot along the way.
Thank you to everyone for the input in the past. Feel free to comment(but don't be mean ). Am one of those 'ultra-sensitive' women that gets hurt easily.
All plants are God Bud.
One other thing...what do you think caused the leaves to curl under? I was thinking perhaps I have to much heat(from lights) on them, and not enough humidity?
They are not harvested yet. How many more weeks do YOU ALL think???
THANK YOU!!!

Looks more like a bit of over-fertilization (specifically too much Nitrogen)......that deep dark green is usually a sign of too much Nitrogen.....heat-stress would usually bleach the leaves and leave yellowish-white patches with some brown crinkly edges....

Nice job though!!!!!! It's trial-and-error until you get all the variables just right....

kind regards from guineapig

lay off the N after the first few weeks of flower.
my first grow looked way worse, not too shabby K+

 

[crownedsparrow]

yeah my first grow also looked way worse. good job. I would suggest that it is not too far away from being done. The only way to tell for sure is to go to radioshack and buy a 60-100x magnifying lens and look at the color of the trichs. http://forum.grasscity.com/photopost/data/500/Trichome_chart1.jpg

Thank you all! I wondered about the nute thing. But was to lazy to check the ph and all. I will start flushing them. I had flushed and stopped ferts about 2 weeks ago, and then read ---I don't know where---that I should keep ferts through the flower phase. Live and learn.

So, plan is: 1) flush the plants
2) wait a couple more weeks and then harvest?
3) Buy hand held magnifier at Radioshack.
Thank you for being gentle with the comments/suggestions. :wink:

i would switch number 1 with number 3! the magnifier first to check the trichomes. then start flushing when you feel they are at the right maturity. then harvest after a nice flush

Looks great, keep it up!

 

[Bruja64]

Will do Blaze! Thanks for the help.

Exciting news! My buds have grown in the last 24 hours! I am shocked. For awhile they were growing pretty slow, now all of a sudden they are back on the move. I am delighted but since this is a first for me I am wondering if this is normal? Or usual?

 

[Space Ghost]

the last few weeks of flowering, the buds usually blow up, so it's very normal.

Might want to give one hit of high P-K ferts before you start to flush, lookin good though.

 

[Bruja64]

Thank you SpaceGhost! Woohoo! I done good for a virgin.

Well just don't get frustrated, I can still fook up a plant even after 10 or so years. I think you did great with the same ol problems we all still have from time to time. The key is persistence and to enjoy it.

Take Care

Mo,

Hi Again!
Ok, these are better pics than the last. I did what you guys suggested---flushed, and bought a microscope from Radioshack.
Still think I have about 2-3 for these babies.

Thanks again for all the advice.
Peace
love & good medicine to all~

 

[green_grow]

ah, the first grow ! mine was only a couple of years ago, so i remember it well.
yours is looking fine .

 

[GET MO]

definitly better than my first grow, lookin good! Mind if I ask wut God bud you got (wut seed company)?

 

[Bruja64]

Thanks you all. Did you notice the brown tips? That was accidental---I misted while the lights were on & way to close. Dumb of me.
Um, I think it was (believe it or not) Kindseeds. Now I find out they have a not so great rep, but I didn't know that when I ordered.

Hi BigH~
Several others have commented on this little puppers. I have no clue what he/she is? Maybe a cattledog mix?

Thanks for stopping by.

nothing to be embrassed about bro everyone here has had a frist grow...... I can remember I was the frist of a few of my best friends to start and all of us sitting there smoking my skunk #1 was great. Dont ever get discourgaed there will be many more batches and every now and then a few mistakes just keep learning and moving forward congrats

 

[Cannabeard]

Hello and good day,
I would say you done well girl......I would like to see some updates, as long as you haven't smoked it all up by now.....lol

I always wanted to try that godbud....if it is all gone would you have a smoke report on it?

looks good for a first timer, keep up the great work and the plants will love you back forever... Keep it green (but not to green as you have just learned......)

Take care and stay safe.....

Thanks Cannabeard~
You can look at my recent photos and see what I got right before drying.
Think I posted in the forum Flower Pix. Or just look up my posts.

This strain is wonderful medicine for migraines and for treating body pain.
As I stated before it doesn't take much for me, however my friend(good OLD hippie boys) said they felt like kids again and were doing some funky 'Jungle Boogie' for me.

I say give it a try & make sure you get the Jordon of the Isle(original).

love,
Bruja p.s. Hope this makes sense, as I am not quite awake yet!
