My First Marijuana Grow in Pictures - Seed to Harvest
by Bliss86

Total Yield:
120 grams, or about 4.25 ounces

Time: Exactly 14 weeks from seed to smoking
  • 4 weeks growth (vegetative stage)
  • 7 weeks budding (flowering stage)
  • 3 weeks drying/curing

Strain: White Widow

Started with 10 feminized White Widow seeds (they didn't all make it) purchased from a seed bank online.

Grow Tent Setup
  • 1.20m x 1.20m x 2m (4 feet x 4 feet x 6 feet) tent
  • 400W MH and HPS and a Cooltube to keep lights from getting too hot)
  • 400 cm³ Vent dimmed with 500 cm³ carbon filter (to pull out hot air and remove odors)

My marijuana babies are born via the Paper Towel Germination method
I'm pretty excited about the results and I didn't know anything about growing just a few months ago. A friend lent me his grow tent and I started reading a lot.
There were definitely a few points where I could have done better and I still have a lot of room for improvement. I'm in the process of planning my new grow in my own box and hope to make use of that experience to improve my growing skills even more.

I didn't trim or ScrOG, though these techniques are definitely something I will try the next time.

In hindsight, I can see that I wasted a lot of room in my tent and the temperatures were towards the upper limit.

Feedback from the buds has been pretty great, it's strong and potent, resulting in a great head high.

My next grow will be a 600W grow light for sure  ;)

These White Widow plants are showing some slight signs of trouble during the Vegetative Stage (they seem slightly droopy)
I lost about 30g due to rot/mold, sad but better to be safe than sorry.

This was an important learning experience about really paying attention to the buds all the way to the end.

At the beginning of drying I had them in cold wet air, and it apparently took me to long to bring them in a better climate.

Q: Did you do anything in particular to keep your plants short?

A: No, nothing. I only invested in a cooltube, that let me hang the light much closer without adding any heat to the top of the plants.

I actually wanted to have them larger; they were short of 1m the last I checked. I had 2m of total height in the tent, so a bit was wasted.

These White Widow plants are staying short and bushy considering they didn't receive any traditional growth control techniques
Q: Knowing what you know after completing this, what would you change if you were to start again, if anything?

A: I need to use my space more efficiently, in this tent 4 additional plants would have found space.

So I would either add more plants, than can grow higher, or I would start using a net to scrog.

Also my nutrients added to the water were eye-balled, and I'm certain they could have grown a bit better.

Then my tent was located outside, and I had many problems with temperature in the summer, and only relocated it inside while drying, too late to prevent the rot in some of the buds due the colder temperatures in the last few weeks.

I'm currently in the process of building my own cabinet that is a bit bigger, and eventually I will be adding a 600W light.

I didn't do any trimming, cutting and all the advanced techniques and will educate myself in the following weeks.

First result was 730g when webt This is half the final yield (after removing all the moldy buds)
Q: Humidity was probably an issue, considering you were growing outside in a tent. What was your RH (relative humidity) during flower?

A: I don't think the RH during flower (between 30% and 55%) was the problem, as the light warmed them during the night and the days were generally warm.

The problem was while drying, there was no warmth during the night, dropping many times below 10°, resulting in 60-70% RH. After I transferred them inside, the RH dropped to 50% constantly.
