- Week 2, Seedlings: Once sprouted, I gently placed my seedlings in small pots. The LED light was set at 24 inches to start off gently. A little water went a long way.
Week 3-4: Watching Them Grow
- Week 3: It was amazing to see the rapid growth! I introduced a light nutrient mix, keeping a close eye on their development.
- Week 4: Leaves and branches began to take shape. I learned the importance of temperature and humidity control during this stage from GrowAutoFlowers.com's Veg Stage Tips.
Week 5-6: Prepping for Bloom
- Week 5: I started LST (Low-Stress Training) this week, which was crucial for maximizing light exposure.
- Week 6: I noticed the first signs of pre-flowers! A clear indication that flowering was on the horizon. It's time to switch to bloom nutrients.
Week 7-8: The Flowering Begins
- Week 7: Buds started to form! I increased my phosphorus and potassium intake as per the advice on GrowAutoFlowers.com's Flowering Nutrients.
- Week 8: I was in awe of the denser buds forming. The light was now 18 inches above the canopy.
Week 9-10: Peak Bloom
- Week 9: Trichome and resin production ramped up. I was vigilant for any nutrient deficiencies.
- Week 10: The buds really swelled up. I began flushing the plants with plain water, as GrowAutoFlowers.com's Flushing Guide recommended.
Week 11-12: The Grand Finale
- Week 11: I monitored trichome color closely for the perfect harvest time.
- Week 12: Harvest time! I followed the detailed steps on GrowAutoFlowers.com's Harvest Guide.
Harvesting Process
