Northern Hemisphere Duckies

This was my first grow and its been a learning experience. Even tho i didn't get my wanted yield It was totally worth it. Things I learned MEDIUM - My medium on inspection after harvest was so compacted and thick, with rotting compost at the bottom. The plants roots only took up 1/3rd of the pots. Next time, I will create a much lighter airier medium. LST- when I started LST the plants were quite small. Another week and they would have been tall enough. Also spent the first 3 weeks of lst changing the orientation of branches, to the point I had branches wrapping around the main stem. Next time, I will let them get bigger before LST, and be more exacting in my application SUNLIGHT - I started my plants too late for my climate. If I had started them even a month sooner, I would have had unfettered sunshine for all of vegetation and warm sunny days for all of flowering. Temps have been so low that my plants just stopped growing entirely at the start of october. Next year, I will start plants in April-May-June. WATERING- I started watering to runoff wayyy too soon - Leaving my plants unhappy and pots soaked for weeks. I think this has had an impact on the plants in Veg and subsequently low yield. Next time I will cut back on watering!! So there it is. I'm sad that I don't have my girls to look after any more. But this Coconut oil is brilliant so even a failure can be made useful. Thanks to everyone who viewed, liked and commented. See you all next spring!
