Big Bud x Northern Lights First Grow

emiller51890 The tent was a little cold at first, so I used a ceramic heat lamp without a light. After seeds germinated, I started a 20 - 4 light schedule that I kept until flower.

emiller51890 We just flipped to flower a few days ago. Today we are 7 weeks and 1 day from seed. This is my first grow ever and we've definitely made some mistakes, but are learning to listen to the plant. We started low stress training a couple weeks ago, although I think a bit too late. We tried the scrog net early on, but it was too early, so took it off. This week we just put it back up and took off twist ties from stems (LST). I did accidentally snap my main stem on one of the plants. I thought it was going to die after that, but I taped it and its continuing to grow! We've corrected nutrient deficiency and then overcompensate and got nutrient burn. I never over watered, but did underwater one day, but it's been fine since. I now lift the pot to check. I also learned a valuable lesson if you water the leaves, you will get light burn and kill them. Another thing I've learned is skip the manual PH color tester and go straight for the digital! I also plan to start my next grow with much more soil, as it has compacted down to about 2/3 of the pot. Overall, I feel like we are in track to a great harvest soon!!!
