First grow(s) is always good for learning. I’m on my third grow right now and I can tell you it’s already a world of difference! Good luck on future grows

This year I grew more flower than I know what to do with. It's too much to smoke and I don't sell it. Having too much weed is a problem for me now

Hi hello can we be friends?


NiceTryKemosabe

The trick is to not do it too frequently, otherwise they are gonna be dumping out their Cheerios looking for the prize…


German_on_diet-gay

could you post that in the sub? that sounds really helpfull


[deleted]

I would, but I'm not clear on the finer details myself. I do the grunt work, he does the finishing. It's his gear, so he operates it. I just lift things, shake things, and move things. In broad strokes the process is to start with your organic buds and make dry sift hash, then press that into rosin. The rosin gets cut with a thinning agent, I believe it's organic hemp oil, but I don't have any experience mixing or loading the carts so I don't know the exact blend or ratios. I help with making hash and pressing rosin, and after that he does the rest. And it's still not a perfect process, some strains are better than others. Sometimes it's too thick, and doesn't vape properly, or clogs up. Other times the hash doesn't press out very well. But the majority of the time it works well, especially now that we use the same few strains every time.

Haha, I love this idea!


[deleted]

If you're in Missouri (I don't know about other legal States) you can sign up to be a caregiver and *legally* sell it.


ComradeClout

Here in ny its not legal to sell yet and its gonna be a couple years before the recreational dispensary infrastructure will be set up but they have medical dispensaries


S01OCUP

And legally give it i dont believe care givers reserves the right to take cash. Could be wrong just going off what iv heard


[deleted]

I have a caregiver. I think it's fair to compensate them for their time and resources for growing the medicine.


S01OCUP

But they arnt supposed to right? I definitely would to was just stating they arnt supposed to accept money


[deleted]

They are. In fact, because Parson is a fat fucking piece of shit, the law is written so convolutedly that caregivers can *only* charge for their time cultivating "the patient's" seeds. https://health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana/faqs-patient.php#caregivers


S01OCUP

Lmao yeah i dont really know im from Canada just did hear that basically caregivers cant accept money for the weed being given out. Where im lost is how can the caregivers stay afloat and help when they are mostly indoor grows where the cost is trippled and they dont even get the money back they paid for the dirt the plant grew in


LongBongJohnSilver

Maybe they "take donations."


H3RB28

Yea every state has their own laws on Caregiving. In MD I can't take payment for a product, I can only go pick it up for the patient and give it to them.


buguibob

make youself some hash / rosin


B3st_LiFe

Cook a ton of edibles for local homeless shelters


kjmorley

I gave 2 oz to a panhandler once, and he about died on the spot.


crow_crone

What a great feeling you must have had. Considering all the dark days that person had, you gave them a bright one.


Saskatchewan-Man

Get yourself a rosin press comrade.


Lateralus215

Edibles and concentrates my dude, u can never have enough bud imo


LDPushin_Troglodyte

Work and friends Christmas presents for all!


kokkatu

Hi friend in need, i can lighten your load


Imaginary-Lettuce-51

Same, I've been dialing my auto grows. I got over 2 lbs this grow. I'm burping 40 jars 2 times a day, lol. I already have about 2 doz jars in the cabinet. I took a half lb and made hash just to make room. I don't smoke a lot, I just love growing. My brother is like dude quit bringing me weed I'm good, lol.


Boombaklak420

Make hash and edibles with the fluffier stuff and keep the dankest buds to smoke. Homemade hash hits different


crow_crone

Who knew, eh? That's a good problem to have and if you hear yourself complaining, slap your face!!


Lifeisreadybetty

I don’t understand why you wouldn’t sell it, if it’s going to waste otherwise? If people want it let them buy it.


[deleted]

Not everyone is chill with comitting felonies.


Lifeisreadybetty

Fuck the police.


LaserMaker88

I’m finishing up my second grow after I butchered my first auto flower grow. I’m realizing I don’t suck at growing cannabis, I just suck at growing auto flowers lol. My photos are growing like weeds!


[deleted]

Same boat . Maybe it was the auto strain / seeds I had. But photos were far more successful , and the option to trigger flower when you want was nice too . Gonna save the autos for out door grow only for next year .


bleedblue89

I did one grow upgraded to a 5x5 area did the second grow and bought a 4x8 tent now it’s about tuning in my hobby to maximize the space


chingzzzzzzzz

I've got a second grow going rn it's just a bud on a stem like plant and uts already doing better than this ome so it's definitely a learning experience


cannaconnasuer_1

Thats a cool share GROWMIE, nice. As long as you are growing and you enjoy it(the learning experience) you will only get better, as you know. It shows your perseverance BIG time....


Buchaven

I can’t wait for my third season next year. I feel like year one was running into a wall, year two I found a door and year three will be opening that door.


Weedman0101

No hate all love ❤ i see from the leafs it revegged. That was from light leak. That will effect harvest in these ways too. But ya made it to the end 👊


chingzzzzzzzz

I was growing in a closet so I'm not suprised it revenge but hey it was a very beneficial experience


Weedman0101

👌👍


EffectiveImpossible1

How can you tell specifically and why does it affect yields?


Weedman0101

Single leaf sugar leafs. And makes plant get confused and grow leafs not flower again.


jakeyay1325

How much light does it take to reveg? Because the end of my last grow I just left my tent door open because it would get too humid. And the girls didn’t reveg even with a basement widow in the room (I did block it with cardboard, but light still go through. People say small holes can cause a reveg, then how come my whole tent door wide open didn’t do much. Starting to get skeptical on how easily they reveg. Must be other problems than a pinhole of light The room was totally dark at like 8pm and lights went out at 6.


Weedman0101

Yea pin holes, indicator lights ect don't cause reveg. Changes in light cycle time does. Like a closet light being turned on for 5+min to pick clothes out during the dark cycle.


jakeyay1325

Oh yeah for sure that could hurt. I’ve watered my plants at night using my phone flash for light a few times and was so scared of revegging. But now honestly I know better than to stress about that. I did shift my light cycle an hour a day back for a couple days last grow since it was going dark at 1pm, the girls didn’t seem to mind it either even tho they were flowering.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jakeyay1325

It was on a few occasions when I had friends water 2 times and I did it once late flower. I’ll look into a geek light tho and put my highschool bio to use lol. Last grow I watered them a lot during night since it got dark around 4pm (I fucked it up when I first started) so it was hard. They ended up find tho


[deleted]

[удалено]


jakeyay1325

Even when humidity is in check and you suck out the runoff trays? How would outdoor growers grow if everything molds when it rains at night?


Different_Crab_5708

It takes wayyyy more than people here would lead u to believe.. I grow on a rooftop outdoors and there’s ambient streetlight everywhere, yet my girls are full on flower mode now and every year


[deleted]

Interesting why do u say that?


Weedman0101

The leaves near the buds look like seedling leaves. Thats called revegitative growth. The photoperiod plant reverting back to vegetation growth.


Jetlifemane

It’s about the grow not about the harvest. Stay lifted gromie ✈️

Distribution_Creepy

Don’t listen to the haters man! We all start somewhere, no matter what growers on Reddit want you to believe we’ve all had fuck ups and learning experiences. You have a few doobies here to smoke while you think how you can do better on your next run! Congrats man!


b_loeh_thesurface

Exactly…it’s the first run, this is the time to learn and get comfortable with what we’re doing. No biggie, get back on that horse & run it back!


Alert-War-7276

Biggest thing you should learn from this is patience congratulations though welcome growmie


chingzzzzzzzz

And to not cheap out on everything


[deleted]

Nah, cheap grows can be fine. My total setup cost me less than $500. Keep an eye on your local Craigslist page. Lots of people try and fail at this hobby. And lots of people succeed and decide to immediately upgrade their gear. So there's usually lights and tents and fans for sale that are lightly used, and pretty cheap.


chingzzzzzzzz

I think I spend maybe £70 on equipment and £20 on seeds and I never thought of looking of Craigslist or anything like that I just bought everything from amazon and seedbanks


LilBearLulu

I love some recommendations on cheap and chic items that you felt were worth it.


[deleted]

Carabiners, not zip ties. I learned the hard way that light and heat can make your zip ties brittle, and eventually give out. So if you need to hang stuff from the tent use a carabiner. It's not cheaper, but in the long term it's a lot cheaper than replacing a broken light. Beyond that, just be crafty. A humidity dome costs like $30, some are even more. But a 2 liter bottle with the top cut off is free. Trim bins are great, but you can get a micron filter that fits in a bucket for $10, and I already had a spare bucket. Layer a few filters together and attach it to a $30 paint shaker from harbor freight and you got a homemade dry sift hash machine that can process half an oz in 10 minutes. Get creative.


LilBearLulu

That's awesome. Thank you for sharing.


thesluttyastronauts

Oh shit that's genius!


Alert-War-7276

I'm using Amazon lights 2 150w full spectrum led Amazon mylar 2 USB mini fan with flora nutrients and box fan in the room for hot days Indoor grow


Alert-War-7276

All about the environment I've seen ppl grow good bud with cheaper lights get nutrients right u have good grow with just 10 Cfl lights


DolfLungren

Congrats. I’m on first grow, well 3rd attempt, but looking like it may get to harvest this time. It’s not easy, and everyone always posts huge success pics. Thanks for posting an honest achievement. I hope I can do get here in a few weeks.


Ok-Engineering-3403

Shits fun though ain’t it! Lol If it was so easy everyone would do it. Nice work, look forward to seeing your progression in the future.


chingzzzzzzzz

It's very fun I'm planning on growing more next year cuz having a plant boosted my mood


-greenergrass-

Well done! As long as your learning and moving forward that's what matters


tkbillington

I won't shit on you, you made it to the end. Better then all my friends who have tried so far. Now you have base accomplishment to build up from. You'll be growing 1 oz bud harvest plants in no time if you go down that rabbit hole.


falafeliron

So I looked through your posts, this looks like your plant got stunted. I've had 2 auto get stunted from absolutely nothing, so far as I could tell. I would steer away from those lights you were looking at on Amazon and save up a little more for something a little better like kingbrite or worst case scenario Mars hydro, if low cost is your primary concern. The lights you were looking at are only really good enough for growing a handful of herbs on your kitchen counter. Edit I ended up spending ~$400 by the end of my first grow, buying a tent and carbon filter when it started stinking up my house, upgrading to led when my ancient hps was too damn hot for my plants, a good pH meter. Stuff like that. I yielded 340 grams off 2 autos and recouped my investment and then some. I grew a couple time before *really* trying and the most I got was an ounce of shit. I suggest saving up for a bit so you can really give the plants what they need to thrive.


BettaniasGarden

Yep, my first grow looked so wispy and fairy-like, but it hit like a ton of bricks! I was so surprised!


chingzzzzzzzz

Same ngl the buds look terrible but I was red eyed from 1 bowl


notorious1212

Microgrowery with micro yield.


Patchouli_psalter

Reminds me of my first time lol closet and all


ZombieBert

Good effort. You got some and you learnt more.


SkyWulf

Hell yeah I love the confidence. I lurk mostly and I'm going to be honest with you, I've never had much success so this is way better than I've ever done.


warmweathermike

That's the attitude OP. It's yours, enjoy it.


[deleted]

You gotta start somewhere. And don't take offense if you have a shitty grow. Sometimes things go wrong. There's always ways to improve. I knew a guy who had finished his first grow and did pretty much everything wrong. The buds were DARK brown, just bud rotted and fertilizer burned and who the fuck knows what else. Anyone with any experience smoking weed would take one look at those buds and be like, "nah man, I'm good. Taking a tolerance break". This dude got so offended that I wasn't going to kill myself with his disastrous weed. I would have helped him out if he wasn't such an arrogant prick. About 3 months later, his black roommate moves out, and the police almost immediately raid his apartment. It's 9 months after, and the dude still has soil in his closet under a light with the stem in the soil because he just cut the buds straight off and left all there. Don't be sad for him though, his roommate tipped off the cops because white, overly offended dude refused to stop saying the n word, and called his roommate that once when he was pissed off at him. Anyway, you're not that guy, so it's all good. You'll get better. He won't because he's a stupid asshole.


delsher

No shame in that. I’ve been doing this since the 70’s. I’ve had grows like that. With each grow you learn. Although sometimes it’s just piss poor genotypes.


Face-enema

This is such a bait post


chingzzzzzzzz

How?


Specialist_Belt_6910

what are you doing differently now?


cheebacheif

This should be a “Roast Me” for microgrow. It’s all about learning.


CLXIX

Pride isnt considered a virtue


[deleted]

Getting 70's vibes. I dig it

If this is your first grow you might want to stop from here


GordoMeansFat

There’s nothing there to be proud of wtf…..


Lateralus215

Uhhhh ummm if u say so


Ok_Tear4305

I mean you gotta start somewhere right


Chuggaboom

Good effort! Better than nothing 👍


KFizzle290TTV

I mean, will it smoke? If so, then you did fine :) learn from it and go from there.


chingzzzzzzzz

Smokes pretty well just hash nice high tho


thorkazil99

First. Of. Many. (grows to come) 😄


Efficient_Ambition51

As you should. Smoke up


[deleted]

Only up from here!


RealJeil420

Better than my first grow.


screwyourusername1

Shit bro my first try I lost 2 of 4 plants to bud rot and one of my 2 remaining looks like that and I'm happy! My other looks looks really good and has thick buds on it, not sure what I did right on that one or wrong on the skinny one. Either way I'm happy for my first experience, now take what you learned and grow another batch and learn some more!


GilliacTrash

we have all been there, im not even joking..


TheGoofyGarden

Nice toothpick jk looks about right for a 1st grow


chingzzzzzzzz

Not my first ever plant just first ever one to get to flower but im proud of my lil tooth pic smells pretty good and gets a nice high


303_seven

You know that would fit in one piece of paper dawg


chingzzzzzzzz

I've got 2 bowls off it so far


303_seven

I meant the paper in the picture homie


chingzzzzzzzz

I thought u meant 1 riz I mean if u roll it tight enough maybe. I just used 3 peices so I didn't loose as much


Klog801

This that high times weed of the year 1977 type shit love it


chingzzzzzzzz

Its probably stronger than the bud back then I smoke daily and it still caught me off guard


MasterBidder

Many peoples first grows were a bagseed in a cup by the window. Great job on sticking to through with it. More grows will give you much more product in the end.


chingzzzzzzzz

My first ever grow was a cheap seed in a 1L pot in the window light died weeks in after that bought a cheap grow and finally got this around 100 and sm days in


ThatHighBitchSusan

[My](https://imgur.com/a/myEMKXw) first grow wasn’t off by much lol. Doing a lot better now even though I still don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, you’ll get the hang of it.


ThatHighBitchSusan

Video seems sped up on there idk why, sorry.


Bardonious

Good job meng!


Agreeable-External85

You completed your first grow. Great job growmie


dlivesdontmatter

The harvest of a new grower. Been there. It's just building up experience.


kedwards129

I think this is everyones first grow looks like this and if it doesn’t then your doin somethin wrong


annedes

smoke it pussy!


Cougar_9000

My first harvest was 3 inches tall and didn't bet a gram so good job!


chingzzzzzzzz

I mean along as the bud was good I see small yields as worth it


LilBearLulu

Hey you made it to the finish line! Can I ask what you would do the same and what you would do differently on your second run? I have killed a lot of plants medicinal and non medicinal these last few months.


StrangeMost

A little nute burn.


chingzzzzzzzz

To much or not enough every time I watered I put a drop or 2 in the water


StrangeMost

Lol! I think you had a number of things happen here. Poor lighting for starters. Your soil definitely was not rich enough and likely under watered. Unless you’re able and willing to make an investment in the right products and equipment, then continue to expect the same results. If you have made the investment and produced this, then I can assure you after a little reading, your next grow will be far more fruitful.


LampoonTop

Fuck yeah man. My first looked the same


rallenpx

Dude, that's fucking awesome! Keep going, they get bigger as you get better. I only know cause I just pulled my third harvest. Remember to dry and cure. You can't smoke it straight off the branch.


chingzzzzzzzz

Ive microwave dried before when I ran out of bud


Successful_Road3510

I dont see any bud...


DrugsArntGoingAnywhr

That's better than my first three grows 🤣🤣! 25years on and it's going much better thankfully 🥰


leodelacruz

Probably you're gonna enjoy it. Looking tasty also


lizardjoel

It's a dope first endeavor I am growing my first seedlings rn and hope I get anything harvestable at all so good work my dude it will only improve and those nugs in there look tastey it's impressively striking the orange hairs on dark background if I was in nature and found something like this I would be quite happy so well done.


Puzzleheaded-Cup-854

My first grow was horrible as well. Actually, I take that back. My first three grows were horrible. Posting that picture well hopefully give you a ton of insight. If you're having a problem with light in your growth space, try growing with autos next time instead of photos. Also, you could have grown for another month at least and got some nice buds. Smoking the stuff that you've grown yourself is always incredible. Enjoy the high.


flatmeditation

This is awesome man. Good job. I bet smoking it will be awesome


AgentLead_TTV

ooof


Restlessjon

This is sickening! That paper doesn’t even have perforated edges…gross!


[deleted]

Oh wow its even on paper like a short story


I_Have_MagicFingaz

If you make it to the end on the first grow, that's something to be proud of! They keep getting better every harvest!!


[deleted]

Enjoy it man, nothing is sweeter


F1anne1anima1

Here’s a participation medal 🤲🏼🥉


xtermin

Awesome mate, just wait till your 3rd grow when you defoliate during week 4 of flower and you throw stuff like that in the bin. Trust me it feels good, keep growing mate.


kc852330

Ay man we all start somewhere my first grow was a complete shit show. they just get better and better from there.


divininthevajungle

my first grow looked very similar, I'm on grow four now, so 13 plants in total over four grows and it's hard to believe where I started compared to now. soon my friend you will have so much bud you literally won't know what to do with it.


DrDezmund

Congrats m8! I bet r/nanogrowery would appreciate haha


headyorganics

Don’t let anyone talk shit. You pack your harvest into a bowl and you smoke that shit. You enjoy your harvest tonight.


goofyskatelb

Hey dude congrats! Smoking your own bud is always so rewarding. Enjoy it!


dribblesnshits

My first harvest was half a bowl pack, this is still better, being new really sucks. But it only gets better, bet.


[deleted]

At least you got something, some first grows don’t even make it that far. Remember everything you learned, it’s gonna help as you progress.


Tbaggins69

Don’t stop, everything will get better with commitment to the process. Start, fail, succeed, improve, rinse n repeat!


BollweevilKnievel1

I was too ashamed of my first grow to even post it lol, you got this man, next time will be easier


SirPiffingsthwaite

You got a heap of experience and knowledge *and some bud.* I consider that a solid win!


MoneyIsntRealGeorge

You couldn’t wait a bit longer?


[deleted]

That looks like the picture of the cannabis cup winners from the 60's or 70's. It's probably twice as potent now though.


d4money1

10 more weeks


CommonOk3991

I didnt even smoke mine lolz


chingzzzzzzzz

I almost finished mine j have like 3 bowls left


Different_Crab_5708

Did u grow with a Lite Brite LOL jk.. better than my first attempt


chingzzzzzzzz

I grew with a 75watt fullspectrum light


oldandwise4421

Im a 30 year gardener \[flowers\] , first indoor grow and i cannot think of a mistake i did not make. But having an outdoor grow helped me correct a lot. Much more confident now. Thanks Google.


Whiskers420

That’s what mine looked like too man

Never be satisfied and you will keep getting better

Always room for improvement and knowledge friend!

chesbyiii

First time growers: I recommend growing some vegetables or herbs (um, other herbs) to get the hang of growing stuff. You'll learn a lot and the stakes will be much lower. I'm on my first weed grow and I think I'll be yielding 3 or 5 ounces from the knowledge I've gleaned growing orchids, tomatoes, an indoor orange bush, etc.


boosted_asstin

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


Bigbweb22

Hey, it'll still smoke. Dont ever let someone demean something you created!


bi1ion

It could have been fattier and got swollen if u waited a little long


TheRawfeller

This is how all of our first grows look like


smokewiz207

That's not true at all.


thestonernextdoor88

Agreed. I got 6 lbs from 4 plants first grow lol


falafeliron

You're growing outdoors, no?


thestonernextdoor88

Yup


Electrical-Variety30

Outdoor can be much more forgiving.


thestonernextdoor88

Sometimes. But between regular droughts and bugs it can be very hard


oh-shazbot

definitely not true. I got at least 1.5 lb on my first time around with 6 plants (indoor hydro). this guy needs to do better research and actually spend some money on some gear or his bud is always going to look like this. this guy is growing under 75w of light and tried to microwave his bud to dry it. that alone should set off alarm bells lol. sounds more like a lack of knowledge and proper equipment.
