First Time Flowering.

[Deleted user 689045]

Hi All! When I wanted to get started growing indoors a few months ago, a friend gifted me a 32x32 tent he wasn't using, and a few clones of some bag weed he's been growing for years. I got a light and fans for the tent and got it setup. The poor clones were pretty sickly. They were set aside, and were going to get tossed, but my buddy thought it would be a good test run for me to get the tent environment sorted out. They struggled. I struggled. I did crazy amounts of trimming and training, mostly just to experiment to see what would happen. It's been a couple months, and here we are. They aren't looking too bad, and I've learned a lot. Didn't want them to get much bigger in Veg, and have a pile of Auto beans waiting, so I switched it to 12/12 light cycle. Now the fun begins, Lol.

You are doing a great job friend. Keep notes for the next one and good luck. Keep us posted.

Here they are this morning, right after the lights came on. They got a full week 5 dose of Fox Farm nutes a couple days ago and needed water. They suck those 1 gal pots dry pretty fast. I gave them some PH'd tap water, and removed the last few remaining plastic clippy things I used for training. Don't think I'll be using those again, Lol. Not looking terrible, but still think they could be happier. Now that they're awake and fed, I can go to bed so I can work tonight, Lol. I'll check back in on them when I get home tomorrow morning.

A few days later, and they're looking pretty good. Popping pistols everywhere, which I guess is a good thing, Lol.
By the way, the bud in my profile pic is from a clone of the same plant my clones are from. A friend of mine started some several months ago, and is just about to harvest that run.

Just put the girls to bed. Still doing decent I guess. I added a set o f Mars Hydro Deep Red30 Adlites to supplement the RP2000. I have all three Adlites in my other tent. No idea if they actually do anything beneficial, but they were on sale, Lol.

Just a little update. Girls seems to be doing well. I had to do some defoliation as they were getting pretty dense. Just opened them up a little for better light penetration and airflow. They are getting pretty frosty, and I was sticky up to my elbows, Lol. They are now 4 weeks into flower and are looking pretty good, but have a long way to go. We have no idea what strain these actually are, but they take a long time to mature.

Well, 7 weeks into flower, the girls aren't looking too terrible. I think I'm guilty of overfeeding and overwatering, but they seem to be hanging in there. Not seeing much, if any amber so they have some time to go yet. It's my first grow, so if nothing else, it's been a good learning experience.

Looking fine mate, personally I wouldn’t worry too much about the amber as that’s just the thc oxidising into cbn.. cloudy will be bursting with thc.
Either way it’s likely to be some good smoke
All the best

Thank you sir!
From what I've learned about trichome maturity, the cloudy ones are at their peak of potency and have more of a cerebral effect, and the amber ones are starting to deteriorate and turning into CBN and will have more of a sedative effect. The guy who gave me these clones has been growing it for years, and normally harvests before any turn amber, and it definitely has more of a psychoactive effect. I am looking for more of a sedative effect, so I'm going to try and let it mature a little longer to see the results.
This was kind of an experiment. We have 4 different people growing the same clones 4 different ways. Here in a few months, we're all going to get together and compare them.
My profile pic is actually a bud from one of those other grows.

Very nice
