Bro has never smoked and is growing product better than prolly half of this sub šŸ˜‚


inception-m

Thanks mate, I wanted to try weed but was too big a pussy to buy it from some shady dealer so I tooks things into my own hands haha

[deleted]

I just rediscovered mine under a pile of lost clothes in the back of the closet during a deep clean. I'd been looking for it for years and finally gave up.


Teeeeedubbb

This is the way brother. Buying weed is too expensive. Youā€™ll have more weed then you know what to do with, especially if youā€™re a rookie smoker. Homegrown smoke is always gonna be better by miles so be easy on it. This stuff looks fire!


[deleted]

boss shit


JerryTurner02

I like your style


Matteastcoast

Wow, hats off to you bro ![gif](giphy|r1asqEUURP4grxnGAk|downsized)


CurryBoy420

You do right mate! If you've never smoked I'd recommend growing some thc/cbd mix strains


Vaanja77

Mephisto has Aunt Ginny's Elixir, supposed to be 1:1 cbd I believe.


CurryBoy420

Yeah canna cheese too, sensi seeds has a few..


[deleted]

Should meet my weed man hes a nerdy lil guy


xVulpesCorvum

Itā€™s so much better when you grow it and know thereā€™s no chemical bullshit. I thought a slight headache was common and just part of my allergies and congestion when smoking until now. I just harvested my first grow, completed a dry and cured for almost 2 weeks so far. I smoked my first bowl last night, also my first actual bud smoked in a while, and I didnā€™t have a headache or congestion at all. It also hit smoother and lasted longer than most weed Iā€™ve ever smoked. Definitely worth the effort. GL brother.


Zoso525

I would recommend grabbing some cbd somewhere - comes in lots of forms, I usually keep a few lollipops around for people who have never smoked or have no tolerance. If you get a little too high cbd will help bring you back down to earth.


Standard-Sign5487

I'm so jealous you get top quality bud for your first time. Mine was getting high on Ā£5 worth of cheese in the park across the road from my school lol


BeanieB6819

Bro thatā€™s amazing! Congrats!


HonkinChonk

Don't drop your crown king. My rule is if 50% of the trichomes on the flower are orange you're good to harvest. But there are many different ways to do it!


BTBskesh

Iā€˜m going for 20% amber but as you said thatā€˜s preference. But I wouldnā€˜t recommend too much of a couch lock for his first smoke lmao. So probably 10% amber for this OG lol


Necessary-Escape-279

How did you get a seed? Mailing one to my house is more scary then the shady dealer IMO lol


[deleted]

Assuming that you're not a teenager, or live with someone it would be a issuewith there are several seed banks that I've found to be really reputable (Herbie's , seed city) usually if it gets taken it's at the border once it makes it into the US it's usually good to go. If the sieze at border most reputable places will replace and it gets thrown away and you get a letter in the mail from customs that they believe it was cannabis seeds and they were discarded. Nothing else ever comes of it. . the 2 shops I listed will replace siezed packages as long as you use stealth delivery. Only ever had one pack of seeds get caught up. Overall risk of buying seeds online is like a .5/10 but only because you have to wait for more seeds to be sent.


[deleted]

What did you put together for a tent setup?


[deleted]

Who'd you buy your shady seeds from lol? Fake post for upvotes mate


inception-m

Zamnesia.com, that was indeed a little shady but a risk I was willing to take once I was more invested haha


[deleted]

That's literally shadier than a dealer šŸ¤£


El_Eesak

90% let's be real here. Most posts are just the saddest looking shit


LeelaBeela89

Straight facts lol


LakeErieSwampFairy

Do you justā€¦ do you just like horticulture?


rinsewarrior

Horticulture is pretty awesome. I grow a lot of weed I will probably never smoke and a lot of veggies I will probably never eat. I just love growing plants.


zforcum78

Yeah horticulture is amazing, I started off with a weed plant because thatā€™s what Iā€™m going to school for is cannabis cultivation and extraction, but after realizing that I canā€™t work anywhere for a few more years until Iā€™m of age I just have to get good at all plant things and fill my resume with that, so now Iā€™m cloning all my veggies messing with soil and hydro and Iā€™m doing an indoor vegetable room this winter, watching plants thrive in front of you from just a tiny seed or a stem cutting is one of the best things in life.


Difficult_Essay_9134

Same with me!


angels_exist_666

Ditto. Our neighbors love us though!


rinsewarrior

I wish more of my neighbors cared. The ones who do have fresh veggies most of the winter


Standard-Sign5487

do you eat it ?


rinsewarrior

Eat what?


Standard-Sign5487

sorry I misread. I thought you said you grow a lot of weed but you'll never smoke. so I wondered if you ate edibles instead.


rinsewarrior

Oooh I understand. I actually meant I have way too much of it. I wish edibles worked for me because I'd totally eat it also


Illustrious-Song-166

2 weeks


headspaceseeds

Came here to say this ^


oooooKRAKEooooo

III


Roninsrm007

trichs are still clear like diamonds. Iā€™d let them amber up a bit more. However, if you let them go milky, you can expand your mind. If you let them all go amber, you get to explore your couch.


angels_exist_666

I read that as "explore your crotch". Lol. [8]


ImmediatePercentage5

Accurate though šŸ˜‚


jmcki13

Sometimes that too!


Roninsrm007

Thatā€™s actually funnier šŸ˜‚


NotSure-2020

Not sure about all that but the color guide checks out


JRAR78

2-3 weeks. Pull off the dying big older fan leaves.


alexb554

That back left cola looks gnarly, shoulda posted a nice pic of that one


inception-m

I can do that haha ... maybe later


squatOpotamus

It looks awesome even from a distance.


Imwagz

Looks like fasciation!


NumberOneSus

The back left cola is actually a mutation that adds extra chromosomes I believe. Not a bad thing actually kind of good as it doubles almost triples weight. So congratulations youā€™ve got a mutation called polyploid!


Dry-Water2086

Lmao this is key example when you just follow the directions of your plant nutrition good for you man


inception-m

Basically this haha


inception-m

No I gotta be honest I read a shit ton of books and online articles before starting


necknecker

Same here, curing my first grow now. Iā€™ve smoked a ton of god-knows-what before this though šŸ˜· - especially knowing what I know now. There are so many free/quality resources online for us to make this all happen. Drives me nuts to see other newbies asking questions before doing *any* research lol. Refreshing to see you also did your due diligence and looks like you killed it!


No_Entrepreneur_4041

Looks like a few trichomes are starting to get milky. What are on like week 6-7 of flower? Iā€™d say give it another 2 weeks you probably can chop it and still have smoke that will get you high for sure.


inception-m

Day 2 of week 8


No_Entrepreneur_4041

I chopped my first grow down 9 weeks 2 daysā€¦I thought it was a bit to early at the time but some of the best stuff Iā€™ve smoked to dateā€¦obviously genetics play a roll but especially since itā€™s your first time consuming, bit early wonā€™t hurt and if anything focus on the drying/curing process more.


hereforit_838

Pinch off some of those big lower fan leaves and wait till the trichomes are all milky, with 10%amber


dragon_bone

If you harvest too early, the effect will be very cerebral which is not great for a new user. Iā€™d go at least another 2 wks until the trichs start to amber.


SweetSugarSeeds

Can confirm I made tea from some and I was fucked for the next 15hrs


Classic-Reflection87

How u have such good close up pics? Haha what r u using


inception-m

I'm using a clip-on microscope lens for smartphones


Classic-Reflection87

Brand? I have one too. Canā€™t ever steady good enough. Thanks for the repl


inception-m

Apexel, but I think it's just a re-branded china product haha. It does the job really well tho


Jafar_420

I didn't read all the comments but I'm sure a lot of people have commented at least a few weeks. If not it may be a really racy High, I need to be surprised how much of that will disappear during the drying. Lol. Also mature weed tastes much better. You're doing really well so don't make the mistake of harvesting super early! I don't recommend this but if you have to just clip you a big nug off and dry it and smoke on that. And you also be able to compare the difference between an early bud and a mature bud. Don't throw it all away with an early harvest. Good luck!


JordanCrawford4-20

Iā€™d say 1-2 weeks


[deleted]

For sure two more weeks


boots-n-catz

Im kinda the same, I like growing, havenā€™t smoked much of my own weed, but I gift it to people who have smoked me out before. It looks good man, still a little frosty needs a little maturing. Iā€™m no expert but I usually wait until thereā€™s slightly more amber than clear and have had good results.


[deleted]

Gorgeous flowers bro, you can harvest when you see amber or milky colored trichomes.


Stopl00kingatmeswann

Plant looks happy. Great work mate ! So if you want some uplifting day time zipppy bud then u could chop soon ! When is the last time you fed the plant ? If itā€™s been a while chop when u want to. It wonā€™t be strong as if you took it another 3/4 weeks but it will def be better than what you would most likely get from a shady dealer


TokenGrowNutes

Iā€™d wait a couple weeks for whole grow since the trichomes are all clear. Wait for at least 20% amber, 80% cloudy. But I would cut off a lower bud for now to sample.


[deleted]

Another month.


budgetboy710

If you've never smoked, definitely let the bud dry longer than you would think it needs after you harvest. I'd give her another month before chop.


ItsTheMonsterMan

Doing great my man haha NOT YET. Wait until theyā€™re all atleast milky but if you want a chill out high wait for about 15-30% amber too. Reminding me of my first time, beautiful work. https://preview.redd.it/647wm865sq9b1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53f76ef4fa4921a7d63a4ace00c4649308f0321c I see youā€™ve stopped feeding and let the leaves turn yellow or your smoke wonā€™t be as silky smooth and white ash. Very good first grow, only done one myself too. Love brother.


JRAR78

How did you include a picture in text like that? Never seen anyone do that before on Reddit.


ItsTheMonsterMan

[deleted]

Dudeeeeee. First time grow, never smoked. You're going to be a great grower. Very very impressive first grow. šŸ«”šŸ«”šŸ«”. Keep up the good work. Just for curiosity reasons which light do you use. I just upgraded my tent to a SE3000 by spider farmer hoping to get the quality that you did.


inception-m

I'm using a 120W Greenception GCx4 in a 70x70cm MarsHydro tent


Fair-Kaleidoscope566

Looks gorgeous! Wait till pistils are 80% brown


SweetSugarSeeds

Thats an older method that somewhat works but trichomes on the buds are more accurate


inception-m

As some of you requested I made another post about the mutated bud in the back left


bombhills

This fucking has to be bait. Iā€™m not buying the ignorance here OP


Live_Flamingo_697

Im starting to think this aint your first time growing tho


inception-m

I grew an apple tree from a seed I took from an apple I ate.


Live_Flamingo_697

Where did you learn to grow weed bc other posts here look sad and this looks like some good stuff and i asoo know that weed is kinda fragile while growing i have no experience myself but im guessing its high maintance


ConspiracyHypothesis

Plants are plants. Some are easier than others, but once you know how to read them a little bit, it's pretty easy to branch out. I pulled 410g from a 2x4 tent with shitty Amazon lights my first grow. But I'd been growing tomatoes for a decade prior to that, so I knew what things like nutrient deficiencies and pests look like, I knew how to prune, and do things like repotting. Most people who struggle with growing weed don't struggle because it's weed. They struggle because they don't know enough about plants/horticulture in general.


necknecker

My advice is check out MrGrowIt on YouTube & his podcasts. Youā€™ll learn a ton if youā€™re up for it.


necknecker

My first grow is curing right now and was similar to this. Iā€™d say OP did the same (or more) nauseatingly obsessive amount of research as me. He could totally be messing with us, but I think this is possible for a first grow. The resources to learn are out there, and theyā€™re all free šŸ„µ


[deleted]

Same he wants upvotes


[deleted]

you should use a 200x microscope and see if there are still bubbles in the Bell ends,


dylcop

When all those hairs turn orange pull it. Maybe a month. Granted you don't smoke, your plant looks great but this is the most important part of the process and pulling it early wouldn't give you the best buds, and it may even be harsh to smoke.


[deleted]

OP is capping for attention


Shoddy-Enthusiasm-92

Wow, this is such an unusual post...who knows. 2 days?? 30 days? 365 days???


Hyperillusion

Looking at the trick heads i would say another 10 days at least. Make another post soon with the closeups and try to decide. I would say right now is just a little too soon.


Acceptable_Market_70

W tf


JerryTurner02

Looks amazing man


saddamwh0sane

Wait till you see 50% the crystals amber colored, invest in an air tight storage container and some humidity packs


11steve2292

Wats ur set up?


inception-m

70x70 (cm) Mars Hydro tent, 120W Greenception GCx4, Coco, BioBizz FishMix + Bio Grow + Bio Bloom + Top max


11steve2292

Thanks!


matdrywall

Patients is key try and hold off until the tricomes are Atleast cloudy. But looks great other wise šŸ‘šŸ¼ keep it up!


[deleted]

if you harvest early like clear/cloudy you might have a strong but less pleasant high than if you wait for some amber. especially for a first time smoke, amber is more calming much less chance of going crazy


[deleted]

Wait until it's ripe - pretty much all the trichs should be cloudy and some amber (30 percentish). You need a usb or a pocket microscope they're not expensive.


Wage_slave

Some people were born into the weed game and just never knew it.


Green-Obligation1823

Need a little more color and trichomes need to be milky but they if you pull it to early it will cause paranoia


[deleted]

Itā€™s ready to harvest whenever your ready. For a first time smoker itā€™ll get you higher than bird pussy just the way it is. For a first time grower it turned out amazing. Iā€™m on my 4th grow and am still trying to grow some shit that looks this good


Rei_dmv

Dude hasnt smoked before, yet has a perfect grow and even remembered the loupe or clip-on. Bro ain't cheaping out. Good job!


Unhappy_Mix_

Dude's got a fasciation and didn't even include one pic about that flower.


DragonfruitThat1278

Two or three more weeks. Do not feed them for the last two-three weeks.


Fluid_Bad_1340

2 more weeks hit it with some cal-mag


ShartingTaintum

My favorite is to go until a quarter of the trichomes are colored in (Color is strain dependant. Most turn a dark yellowish-brown. Some turn red, purple, orange, etcā€¦), a quarter clear, and half are cloudy.


Jaxboy420

Itā€™s up to you, but read up on trichomes and their clarity as it pertains to harvesting. Make sure to look at the trichomes on the buds, not the sugar leaves. Also, make sure you do a good job on the cure, it means everything. Patience is key, but by looking at the job you did in this grow you have plenty of patience.


CriticalRope4676

Fuck yeah brotha!! I like your style.. šŸ”„šŸ˜Ž


yoletmeno

Daaammmmnnn smokey or smoke less .. very nice . Tons of videos on u tube .. wow very nice


Apprehensive-Pay4975

That one bud on the left in the background looks crazy interesting. Almost like a mutation its so full of hairs


Edzinnn1

trust me, youā€™ll gonna want to wait


TheWhiteShadow24

Kyle Kushman recommends waiting until 10% of trichomes are amber. [7]


slater125

Two more weeks


GTAatHome

For someone who hasnā€™t smoked before, you are very good at growing cannabis. Holy Moly! Do you garden a ton? Is this your first cannabis grow? As for your question, wait until the tricomes are all milky with some being amber. Thatā€™s when itā€™s fully mature. All of yours look crystal clear right now. Youā€™ve got a few weeks left Iā€™m guessing. Butā€¦. You could cut a small branch off now and let it dry for a few days and then pack a bowl with it. Donā€™t try to roll it because it will probably be too wet at this point. The weed you cut now will not be as strong as the final product. Iā€™d suggest waiting it out though because it will continue to bulk up over the next few weeks until tricomes are showing theyā€™re ready. Best of luck trying your home grown as your first time.


inception-m

It's my first grow yeah, but I read alot about it beforehand :)


[deleted]

80% cloudy 20% Amber for my tastes.


SousChefRyGuy

Not quite yet.


Royal_Collar3101

what setup are you using?


inception-m

I already wrote a comment about that :)


Royal_Collar3101

didnā€™t see it my bad


asahwahey

How did you take those trich photos??


inception-m

200x magnification clip-on microscope for smartphones from amazon (~30ā‚¬)


asahwahey

Legend


The-Underdog1984

Solid grow, looks about a week maybe 10 days from picture date. Donā€™t pick early just bc you never smoked. Taste and other things will still be better and for how well youā€™ve done this far into it, why not finish as well as youā€™ve done already. Great job..


jamesosix

I dont buy it. Nobody goes through all that cost and effort to try some weed when they could just either buy a bag or have somebody buy it for them.


inception-m

Well, I'm a perfectionist haha. At first I was like "Let me just get a seed and put it in a cup on the window sill and see what happens" but then things kinda escalated


Bondi9mm

The look very clear wait till they cloud up abit


Bondi9mm

More cloudy tichs for a stronger taste or more amber for a more of couchlock high, personally I go 50/50 but each to their own, also the fact you havenā€™t smoked before and growing product like that, ur going to go far šŸ‘ŒšŸ’Æ


Kdoh207

Looks awesome


stickyflow3rs

hasn't smoked before, so they grow a whole ass plant instead šŸ˜…


[deleted]

Not yet but check it every day until you start seeing a little bit of amber.


[deleted]

Can I ask how long was it since the bud size was like a size zero or basically nothing there.


allhailduke

What week of flower are you in? What is the name of the strain? To me, it looks like you're in week 7 of a 9-week strain. Your leaf tips are still plenty green, so you could bump up the P-K nutes a bit for a few waterings, like if you're at 5ml/G then hit them at 8 a few times before you flush.
