This week I've chopped my first grow and gotta say am quite disappointed with the yield. I wasn't looking for huge amounts since my grow area is small but I thought it would be better than this. I have trimmed and have the buds drying in paper bags and hope soon I'll be able to sample them. For the two Bubbelicious (2) I got 160g, the Skywalker 30g, Heisenberg Special (3) 144g. All of these were so sticky that my fingers were stuck together and around stems! The aroma was just heavenly! I did scrape the resin off the scissors and burned it, very potent. I did notice a couple things about this grow that I will try to correct on the next one. The root ball on all these plants were small and not dense so I'm guessing the soil was not as rich as it should've been. I used Kind Soil and Roots Organics in a 50/50 mix, Kind Soil on the bottom. Also, the plants reached their final height after about 4 weeks and all flowered around that same time. I don't want this to sound like I'm complaining, I'm not, just had hopes of things having more yield. I do want to thank people that have helped me along the way, @hippy71 @Nabzter @Ripper @Waira @massgrass @Slater @derek420colorado @mephisto and everybody else that has contributed to my experience, very much appreciated! I'm not discouraged and will try for better next time, late July to start. With all the Mephisto gear I have now, I should have plenty opportunity to get better! Cheers!:pass:

Next grow try some air pots and add some Michorizae to the mix or add it to any pot for that matter and you should get a huge root ball and thus a much better yield.
 
First grow is something we all just have to get out of the way mate. Your quality and quantity will increase exponentially now.

TBH I think you've done pretty darn well for your first grow anyway dude! :worship: :vibe:

I second the airpots comment. Love em.

Thanks mate, I have purchased some Airpots but I got them through Root Trapper but they are the same thing I believe. They came flat and need to have the bottoms put in place and secure with a plug in clamp to keep them together. They are about 2 gallon so 6 will fill my space. Will try 3 Mephisto strains, 2 of each strain - one with Biotabs and one with Mephisto Super Soil additive. Going to try Biobizz light mix and Roots Organics Original for medium.
 
Props for completing your first grow, brother.[emoji106]

I'm learning every day too. Jah Bless AFN!

I am happy I could help you. Feels good to give a little back to the Community. Thanks for asking.

If I can be of service in the future, don't hesitate to hit me up. [emoji295]

My second "grow" of my perpetual harvest has quietly begun......
Changing up dirt, running out my gbd SS mix w/ Roots Organics, then transitioning to full BioTabs program with BioBizz Light Mix.

Thats them mate. Remember to put the two rows with no holes at the top to stop water pouring out when you feed. And put the base up a few rows to let lots of air circulate under the roots, they will love it :thumbsup:

Congratulate on the harvest dude thats worth a slap...:slap:

Yields will get better dude... time to work it out and tweak the grow, what size pot did you go with ?... bigger the pot bigger the plant in soil, I got near on 7oz off a plant in a standard 25ltr pot. I'm averaging about 3-4oz dry in my 10ltr air pots with soil... now I've go coco that should be way larger.
