Peace fam. Wrapping up my first grow and harvest, and ngl I’m kinda surprised at the smell and it’s not quite what I was expecting.

I thought I did a solid job on my first chop (Deja Blue from Night Owl), but did a little partial harvest partly because I was impatient, it stunted, but also wanted to experiment with a quick cycle vs the craft cycle..

After The quick cycle the buds feel fine, but don’t smell like I would want in the slightest… is this expected?? Do I still need to cure more in some jars to get the smell and taste I was going for?? Or did I just F up my grow and it wasn’t as good as I thought??

The first legit chop is Mephisto’s Grape Crush, it’s now been in the VCure (craft cycle) for about 4 days.. I looked up info on the bean and it does say the growth odor is low, so maybe I just don’t have a stinky plant on this run?

What are your experiences so far? Do you guys still jar up after the VCure? After watching some YouTube videos, some people atleast act like they are ready to smoke next to peak product fresh out the quick cycle, which would NOT be the case for me..

Any of your experiences with the smells and taste after the vcure, and if you keep curing afterwards for peak trees would be greatly appreciated..

Pics added of the grape crush during harvest to show that I thought I at least did okay on this run.

The pic of the buds in the storage container is the Deja blue after the quick cycle with the still fresh green smell.

For any noob growers, I highly recommend running Mephisto’s Grape Crush. This was my first grow, and she did me right.

Mild smell when the tent is open, but straight grape candy terps coming strong after getting a closer smell with my fingers. Excited to see what smells are like after the craft cycle and a little more time in a jar.

Will be remember this one for sure.

I had my struggles on this first grow.. stunted it early on but didn’t wanna start fresh so I could learn from my mistakes.. I think I’ll have a bit less than an ounce of buds that aren’t complete larf after dry &cure but learned a ton and I’m hyped for my next run.

Appreciate the help and guidance over this one growmies!🖖🏾

Makin’ progress

Almost to my first chop 🥹

I’m shooting for 10-15% Amber on chop day, but I’m only on day 65.

Only using my phone and zooming in for pics. Mephisto’s Grape Crush if it helps.

Am I not reading this correctly, or are these ready to come down?

Don’t know what I’m doing. Growing autos only on day 65 and feeling like there’s already as much Amber as I feel like I would want to see at this point.. I don’t have anything legit for scoping this, just using my phone and zooming in on pics.

Am I crazy or are these at 10-15% Amber and ready to chop?

All pics are different bud sites.. Mephisto’s grape crush is the bean if it helps.

Any help is appreciated on if I should chop.. if it’s not time, and guesstimating on when it might be ready is also appreciated 🙏🏾

On my first grow and she is easily the champion of my tent

On my first grow and this plant has fought back from all my bullshit. Looking forward to seeing how this one finishes out

New to this, and this is the plant in my tent that really loved me back. Any thoughts on how much you think I’ll be able to pull? I know I’m nowhere close to chop, just curious with this being my first Mephisto run.

Happy Birthday big dog 🎉🎂

Growmies i cannot even explain to you how much nonsense this plant has been through, and here on day 40, she still got life and not even hatin it.

I’ve killed 2 plants and lost another, with one hanging on for dear life, and I haven’t even made it to my first harvest.

This plant should be dead like the others and has become the only plant left that gives me any hope 🙏🏾

If you’re a noobie, I highly recommend

Peace fam, hoping to get some constructive advice on my first run. I’m really just trying to learn and get by, so I can improve next time.. I started with very little knowledge and so my expectations aren’t high.

My known f ups that I learned right out the gate was that I went way too light on the soil. I had the light intensity off (raised plant looking sad in comparison)

The others don’t seem to be doing too bad, but also are light on soil and stuff.. I feel like they went into flower in an okay state, but my humidity and environment been inconsistent while trying to dial in.. currently at 73ish degrees and 60 humidity. Got a dehumidifier on the way to try and bring the RH down a bit..

Any advice for me? Any encouragement for me? I Appreciate all the help from the community helping to get me goin 🙏🏾

Back left is banana isle from night owl (day 30). Top right is grape crush from Mephisto (day 35).

Front left and raised is Deja blue from night owl (day 35 and missing half the plant cause I snapped the stem trying to LST 😭. Cut it off to try and let the rest keep going and I think it did?).

The baby is sugar cane auto from ethos… already killed a 3 piña autos from ethos on my first try in the first 2 weeks and had to restart 🥹

Shouts to Night Owl from a first time grower.. i tried to buy seeds from a few top genetics companies thru recommendations, and this was my NO return after buying 3 packs of seeds (only 1 bogo). Holy Shit.

Also, today I learned about this black light situation, because I got a pack like this in another order from the seeds locker, but thought they just ran outta ink or somethin😂

I’m hyped to start my next grow and just wanted to share how Night Own hooked it up. I’ve never gotten an order like this with all this extra stuff I didnt ask or pay for.

Appreciate you Night Owl fam 🖖🏾

I also got this piece of paper in the order and donno what it means.. does anyone know?

Leaves started curling upwards yesterday on this one specific plant. 3 others seem to be doing fine right next to this one.

They all have gotten the same medium/nutrient set to get started. I assumed this was overwatering on my part, but it’s also still drinking from this self watering base at the same rate as the others. It hasn’t grown at all in a few days.

This is Deja Blue Auto from Night Owl

Any advice?

I started this journey with zero knowledge and haven’t popped a seed since 3rd grade in a class experiment using a cut 7up bottle.

I fumbled through my set up, and made tons of mistakes, (including what should be the easiest of using the right amount of soil 😭😂) but I now feel I’m in a position to continue to learn, grow, and support my habits.

My first run has Mephisto’s Grape Crush Auto (Mephisto), Banana Isle & Deja Blue Autos (Night Owl), and Piña Auto (Ethos).

I chose autos for my first grow because large plants scare me. Hoping to get more comfortable before leveling up to photos.

Grape Crush and Deja Blue are currently on Day 12

Banana Isle is day 7

Piña Auto is day 6

*Hygrometer is not accurate
*Pics taken right before watering on day 11

Thanks again for the help and shouts to the best sub on reddit 🖖🏾
