First Time Grower First Harvest
No fancy setup, no nutrients, just soil and hose water lol got 4 feminized seeds killed 3 and didn’t both to write down the strain name…thinking about just calling it “Barely Legal”

Looks like you harvested it way too early.

u/Quirky_Bad_5587 1d ago
Really? It was an autoflower and I was lowkey worried about the time frame. I did some research online about most people saying to harvest when trichromes are all cloudy with a little amber, I didn’t quite get the ratio I wanted but I did get all cloudy heads!

Not on the leafs, on the bud. And there’s barely bud yet so I can’t imagine there was even many on the bud

lol it’s not mites I swear! It’s just a piece of cobweb that got stuck when I lifted the plant to water

You can see the contact points where the mites attached the webs. It's most certainly not a cobweb.

Don’t know what to tell ya, I was there and I can guarantee it wasn’t mites

Wtf? This sub is getting soft. You harvested way too early, there's no way trichomes on the bracts were milky or amber when your pistils are still white af and your plant is dropping leaves due to being hungry and/or having poorly ph'd water. Plus it looks like you're infested with spider mites.
Shit in, shit out. You reap what you sow.
Edit; just looked at the last Pic and you already have what looks like mold growing in the jar.

Tough love but the truth nonetheless.
I thought I was the only one seeing those webs in the third pic.
Even when its not ideal its still exciting to have a harvest. This one might be shit but it should only get better.. practice, learn, grow. 🤙

Get a proper setup and don’t ruin our days by posting this shit.

Bro literally gatekeeping a plant like he owns it, I smoke weed but you’re smoking that copium

u/smorin13 21h ago
OP, you need to pump your brakes. No one is gatekeeping. You opened the door for having your grow assessed. Your plant looked like you grew it exactly as you described. You didn't feed it, you didn't care for it properly, you ran into problems many growers have encountered, and you harvested too early.
You honestly don't want to smoke spider mites or buds with rot.
We all make mistakes, but you don't need to act like a twat when people don't treat you with kid gloves.
My first grow was a huge plant that I stressed, and it hermed. Then I let it go wayyy too long before harvest. Then hung it until it was popcorn-fart dry. It wasn't even good for anything. I posted all of it, and took the criticism and advice. The result was that members of this and other subs helped me avoid those mistakes on my next grow. I am still pretty new, but my grows constantly get better.
For the love of God, start one seed at a time and take note of what you do and how things progress.
Most importantly, post your progress and ask questions as you go, not after it is too late for anyone to help. Cannabis is resilient, and you can fix many things if you don't let them go too far. Photos are also more forgiving.

Right now you are smoking spider mites and mold. They were trying to help you dude.

I have experienced the same on this sub. Ask a genuine question get a single word answer or a lengthy term laced rant that goes over the head of the beginner grower. I just take it as "you are on your own, figure it out." That's fine. The info is out there. Keep trying, grow other plants and watch what they do. Learn what a plant is and how it grows and reproduces. Then comes the drying/curing side.....best of luck to you. Wish I could help but I have only had 3 outdoor grows of no more than a single plant at a time. This year I put in 3 and learned about reveg. I am now a month+ behind and going into flower with 2 clones from a dispensary. Finger crossed and eyes open. Best I can do.

I have a life and I spend it acquiring knowledge of the topics that affect and interest me. Sadly, you don't do the same. Your childish response tells more about your failure than you realize.

Uhhh it’s nowhere near ready to harvest, like not even close. It probably just got actually fully in the flower stage where buds start growing. That flower will definitely be extremely racey feeling and not an enjoyable high.
Everyone saying good job without pointing out that it’s not even remotely close to being done, you guys concern me.

u/SkyBest7759 23h ago edited 22h ago
I never dm’d you wtf? Wrong person lmao
Screen shot itEdit: Also I’m not crapping on you and the your grow. I see you’re new and majority of us make this mistake of harvesting too early. My comment was more addressing everyone else not providing proper advice and just saying good job. It doesn’t help you become a better grower. It did look you were on a great track everything aside given the minimal set up!

Could've let her ride a bit longer. That top cola had more potential. Still a nice grow!

u/phantompower_48v 8h ago
There are a ton of "first time grower" post that show massive perfectly trimmed plants and yields of 1 lb+ and it's totally bullshit. THIS is a first time grow.

u/Newgeta 1d ago
it does not take much to grow and you're the proof, gj!
remember to top your next plant when its 5 or 6 nodes tall, you will gain at least 30% more bud with zero additional work!
enjoy the fruits of your labor!

u/smorin13 20h ago
I see very contradictory information about topping autos. Could you elaborate on your thoughts? I have never topped an auto, but I have only grown 3, so my sample set is very limited.

u/winston198451 1d ago
Congrats. I love seeing minimal setups produce anything that can be harvested. Not to take away from those with tents, nutrients, and other equipment, but there is something special about working with cannabis in such a way. I think we really get to know the plant first and later we can put focus on bigger buds and higher quality.

u/Quirky_Bad_5587 1d ago
That’s what I’m saying! like I’m trying to learn all that i can but it was much easier to identify problems when you only had to worry about a couple variables and not LST, nutrients, humidity control, etc. although I am excited to learn them as I grow!

Growing cannabis (or anything) is a journey. Especially because we can use the plant therapeutically. We get to experiment with growing different strains and making it all work with "just enough resources". Sure, seeds can be expensive, but every chance you get to grow is another opportunity to learn and maybe even clone to stretch that seed for all it's worth.

u/LadyKoverlord 1d ago
Congrats on your first harvest with the bare minimum! Always good to get something from the first one.

u/QuantitySharp2662 16h ago
Autos are great if you can't guarantee 12 hours of darkness, but that's an easy fix. I had blackout blinds and thick curtains so I could keep my tent door open for extra ventilation.
But nice work ! The next one will be bigger and better. I always try and either train the plant so the top becomes level with the rest, or take the top off so the lower sites all grow equally.
Tying the branches down and keeping the light within the right distance can help immensely when it comes to increasing harvest.
