Grow journal Bag seeds

I suggest u don't go as hard on lol popping this time

Daddy's medicine grow adventure 1

 

Your buds dried in 2 days? I highly doubt they’re ready to start curing in 2 days...


First to third grow. From beginner to novice lol.

 

You’d be surprised how much moisture is still in those.

When you put them in the jars to start the cure they should be crispy on the outside.

Not saying they’re definitely not dry but use caution.

General rule of thumb for drying is 7-14 days in most cases.

However like you said those are some pretty small nugs...

First to third grow. From beginner to novice lol.

 

You will fare MUCH better with stronger lighting....LST and defoliation typically needs to be done by 2.5-3 weeks into flower....at 3 weeks they begin HARD FLOWERING and you want them pretty much the way you want them...plucking a leaf here and there is no big deal at any time during flower if its shading too much....same with a little LST during flower, only as needed and no MAJOR stressful outings....its nice to have it all taken care of by the time they have popcorn size buds..then you can sit back and watch the show....
I dry my plants whole...I dont cut off branches OR pre-trim....my house is climate control central air and by pretrimming and even hanging individual branches, they dry too quick....My R.H. is in the mid 40ies tops...many times I wont even put a fan blowing on my hanging plants the 1st 2 full days and then just a light breeze...Like clockwork, I start trimming on day 7 (ideal)....if they get dry under 4 days, many times they can get a hay smell or KEEP the Green taste....Shoot for a week to be trimming....when you get a bigger set up with a good light, you will be dealing with MUCH LARGER buds, which, of course will take longer to dry.....1st cpl crops is that learning curve....after that, its cakework....you got some nice frosty buds from a tiny micro grow with a cpl cfl bulbs....cant ask for more from that...
THAT GDP seedling is VERY happy looking....They only come in regular seeds, but if its a bag seed, its probably a nanna induced seed which would make it female....if someone gave the seed to you (from an order) its regular....

 

A 1000w will saturate that 4 by 4 tent NICELY during heavy flowering....a 1000w light produces some heat so make sure you vent accordingly...AND dont get over zealous with keeping the light too close....start on 50% intensity and work up to 1k only during flower up thru week 6 and then start toning back down....3ft over tbe plants is plenty with a 1k light in a 4 by 4 tent....YT.......EDIT...ppl may try to say to keep that 1k light closer, but it IS NOT necessary....during late flower it would do more harm than good....In fact I think I mentioned that the 1k will start to evaporate a LOT of trichs high on the top colas...2 weeks prior to harvest, go down to 75% and down to 50% till harvest....Your trichs will PUMP UP FAT!!!!....I spent MANY yrs watching the effects of 1000w HID lights during late flower.....Mimicking the fall time sun lower in the sky with far less intensity, has a significant impact on trich development....Thats one of those things that probably is not in a any of 'HOW TO' books, but 39 yrs of growing teaching you more than ANY book ever can...

 

Gdp off to a good start....looking forward to a smoke report on your sativa plant thats drying....Always fun to see someone get to smoke their 1st plants, and from the preharvest pics, its gonna rearrange some brain cells..LOL...YT

 

Your GDP is coming along far better than my lackluster handful of bagseed that began sprouting on the 25th. An additional batch have yet to break ground, and a group of four have started short hours.

Adjustments with Photoshop make this pic look a little foggy.
