My first complete grow, Emoji from Mass Medical Strains

[Landwolf]

Hi all, I'm new around here. I have grown in the past when I was young but my parents found them and I had to pull them out after only a few weeks. I grew these Emoji outside for 3 weeks then flipped them to 12/12 light and grew indoors after that. For a little over 8 weeks of flower. They grow really fast, the Mrs. was impressed and I was proud to grow something so vigorous.
I did a lot of website lurking and learned a lot before I planted. After years of wanting to grow some, here's my pics.

At 4 weeks the leaves were droopy. I learned they were cold at night so I added a heater and they were happy and perky after that.



Here about a week later I had tied them over to even out the bud height.



Week 6 notice the yellow leaves on the bottom

Here they are at week 7, I'm actually a bud farmer here for the first time. I never realized it was so important to me. Its a wonderful point in my life.



Week 7



Week 8, notice all the leaves are light green. I added flowering fertilizer. Then I realized the pots could be too small and sure enough, they were root bound so they went from 2 gallonish to 4 gallon pots.


Week 10 notice they are dark green now but missing some leaves. They hung in there through my learning curve.

thanks for sharing, they look good for your first grow of bud just a few more days to the finish, keep humidity low and a breeze of fresh air around those tight buds. fingers crossed
the experience you gain from this grow, will make your next one even better!
what variety do you wanna grow next?
what is that debris on the leaves at the second picture of your last post? somehow worried about the brown leaves around the bud on the bottom right of that picture too.

Thanks @aCBD , I have harvested since then and I'll post the pics later. But you've got good eyes, that little bud was dry and hard and it had bud rot. I just got a hygrometer the other day and it got up to %70 in the drying room and I had no fan, just a fan for evacuation with a filter on it. And the main cola of the other plant had bud rot too so I didn't keep that main bud, its crown and glory. Fuzzyness grew right where the main cola made a sharp turn to grow up so it must have been nice and moist in there. I didn't notice anything when I cut the leaves off for the branch to hang dry. But after 2.5 days, the bud had a small bud-cave with fuzzy fruiting bodies of whatever infected it. Then I broke it apart. It came apart very easy and was light brown near the center branch. There was a small cloud of spores at one point.
The debris is some vermiculite from a jar of predatory mites I sprinkled on there. Now I've got vermiculite in my buds...
But its a success overall, I have some for jar cure and some for cobs.
After I cut into my infected plant I cut into the rest of my good plant. I wish I had sterilized the cutting tool with a chlorine solution or something because I wonder if that stuff would grow inside the cob?
Next time I plan to grow Nepalese Mountain Ganja from the Real Seed Company indoors.

thanks for your detailed reply
really hope you can enjoy your harvest
smoke report when?
budrot is very nasty, had to make my experiences with it too. not a nice feeling to see a big bud but then have to cut it in half. that's one of the reasons i started to top my plants, to not have one big headbud and if budrot shows up, not much is lost. for sure a sign to step up the ventilation game when it happens, with a good exhaust fan and some ventilation your plants will thrive even more.
that nepalese mountain ganja sounds like it's going to be a wild one
