My journey so far...

Hey Mr. Grow it and community! I'm a brand spanking new at this and I'd like to share my journey so far. If anyone has any tips for me, I'd be very grateful. I'm hoping to take this run to completion but I'm worried about the flowering stage and adding nutrients.

Veg - day 17

I'm on day 17 since sprout. I've only added tap water so far. The two on the top are Blueberry and the two on the bottom are Purple Kush. Both are autoflower fem. They seem a little bit on the "light green" side but seem healthy so far.

Medium: I'm using this organic potting mix. I read after I started this to "never use miracle grow". But it was too late and I'm trying to still bring these girls to completion anyway.

My setup is Mars Hydro 5x5x6.5 / Spider Farmer SF4000 / 5 gal tall pots.

So far they look good. But I'm not sure when, or even if I should add Nutrence to the soil. What I've heard is to wail until 30 - 40 days before feeding anything in organic soil. Would that apply to this organic potting mix?

I'm going with Dyna-gro Foilage pro,Dyna-gro Bloom and Botanicare CalMag.

Any advice would be awesome!

Thanks so much, and happy growing!

THE YIELD...

Hey Fam! it's been a month since the last update and they are all cut/dried and in the process of curing.

Dry Weight (no trim)

PK1 = 118g

PK2 = 119g

BB1 = 83g

BB2 = 123g

Total = 443g

PK = PurpleKush

BB = Blueberry

* bought these online and don't know the breeder. It was my first time getting seeds. I've learned a lot more since then and will get seeds from a trusted breeder next time.

Both were feminized autos.

Conclusions:

I'm extremely happy with the yield.
Flavor needs help. They all seemed to turn to a grassy-hay smell as soon as they started to dry. In reflection, I may have chased the amber tricombs too long and they went over by a couple of weeks. (but not sure, it may just be the phenos I got). We'll see if that flavour comes back at all after curing.
The high is great on all 4 plants. I'm turning most of it into rosin or edibles so that's perfect.
Had a ton of fun with the entire process and will start another one soon.

Thanks to everyone who followed along!

Cheers!

Replying to

@Creager You can make them right away. When you make edibles, the trichomes are being separated from the plant material so you're not waiting for chlorophyll breakdown like you are when you cure flower.
