Newbs 1st grow! Complete failure or a "by the skin of my teeth" documentary 🤔🫣

I'd still verify it. It only takes a moment to turn off the lights using your timer so it mimics lights off and then sit inside the tent with it completely zipped up. Have the bedroom lights on when you're doing that.

If it was related to company, they must have been looking inside the tent with the lights on. Good tents don't allow outside light in if you use them right.

That's a really good insight of my situation! I'm gonna try that!
 
Eagles? Damn, what r u like 60?! J/k I appreciate some Eagles and pretty much any rock. My musical interest led me into seeing Slipknot for the first time 6 yrs? ago. I got in a pit and had to leave early due to some broken ribs lol

Eagles is more 70's, 80's and so on. It's one of my favorite bands of all time! Since we're talking bands ... don't forget Steve Miller Band.

Edit: Yes, I am 60. Those were my bands from my years.

It gets easier. Find your style and get er dun.

So you will end up drying for somewhere around a week. Then move them to cure you got that figured out? I use 2.5 gallon anchor hocking glass jars with humidity packs. Mason jars also work well. Some folks use grove bags. There are other methods too but typically cure takes about a month to make the bud smoke smooth. That your plan to use this all as flower to smoke?

Make sure to set a little aside for your next harvest. An offering to the cannabis gods.

Mason jars w hygrometers is what I'm gonna do w boveda. Ended up using the drying basket in the new tent. My friend has a press? to hopefully make some oil of the shit I'm trimming. Just sucks that this plant turned out herming as well, I gotta figure that shit out on the next grow. I think if the clones come in healthy I'll get some mothers going and start trying a perpetual grow. This last grow has been nothing but showing balls... I fucked up somewhere I guess. The tops seem to be seedless, but fuck! it all should be w/out seeds!!

I got them from seedsupreme. 1 of the 5 was a straight up male! All of them were "feminized" I dunno if I somehow stressed them out(weekend of company occupying the bedroom) or it was bad genetics? Said company has good customer support and are sending seeds to replace em but I am really skeptical about planting them or the other 20 seeds I have from them
 
I dunno, maybe I didn't catch the male in time? Pretty sure I yanked it within a day of it showing. Another day of wet trimming ahead of me though :) Anyone want some seeds ?! lol

Never heard of that seed bank. Not suggesting it’s not reputable. Maybe someone else has experience with them.

That was my thought as well.
Can't really say but I still think herms are 90% if not more the gentics.
I have still yet to have one herm and I stress my plants on purpose.
Not improperly but too many don't clarify what stress.
To me light leaks would cause re veg not herming?
 
Yeah I'm hoping it was just genetics, otherwise I'll be in the front row for a shit show in a month lol

If you verified that your tent is free of unintended light sources, It has to be the genetics. Especially if you're actively managing the grow environment .

My thoughts too. Especially the reveg, but this was an auto so who knows. Autos are usually wonky anyway

I've grown 1 of theirs......I won some in a give away. White label would fit I think.
I remember the Afghan Kush auto was decent....and that's it. I can't remember what the others were.
I found them!...not sure what they are still though.

Salutations ya beautiful ppl! I was slacking and didn't get my tent in order b4 my clones arrived today. They appear healthy, but what would you all do in this situation? Just gut the remaining herm I'm assuming is the start? The remainder of said plant still has some balls, just was trying to maximize the output w a 2nd harvest, fuck that though, yes? Also, should I be wiping down the whole tent and system w an ISO/water solution? Thanks in advance for ur input!
 
Was the light still on when they arrived?

A spray bottle with 70% iso alcohol makes tent cleanup easy. Turn your lights off and spray the walls, ceiling, and floor. Wiping it down as you go. When you're done, you killed pollen and sanitized your tent.

It was! They seemed to be healthy when I opened the package! Gonna give the iso a try, it's 91% though so thought of diluting it
 
Salutations! I don't think I did well in the drying aspect as some stems just snapped off. The first harvest of the auto filled 8 1/2 quart jars(2 of which I'll probably have to do some sort of concentrate.) In the next day or 2, more wet trimming for the 2nd round which I'm guessing will fill the remaining 3 jars after drying and more trimming. Dunno what that'll equate to in finished bud, but I think it'll be decent for one mishandled plant?! Trimming sucks!!
 
I've heard things for and against Boveda... should I be using them in the jars? If so, the ones that do both hydration and dehydration?

That’s a desirable problem.
I both love and hate trim jail. But it all means good times to be had!

Enjoy!

My second go around w it I was procrastinating, till I started trimming, then it was on like donkey kong lol It's kind of therapeutic. Put on some good tunes and just trim. I've done a little dry trim, but IMO, wet trim is the way to go.

Even w this one getting a tiny bit hermed out, I'm thinking I'll get some decent bud and weight. Guess I'll find out in about 2 weeks after the first round goes in the pipe 🙃
