Some Lessons Learned that could apply to other growers:
1. Determine max seeds to germinate based on square footage available and seed/plant death
There is only space for 7 veg plants, humidifier and a heater in the 3.25’ x 3.25’ tent. Start sowing 9 seeds to have 7 plants.

Not all seeds germinate and not all plants that germinate will survive.
In flowering, I can also fit 7 3 gallow flowering pots but you risk mold issues with 8 flowering plants unless a dehumidifier is used.

LED light max height = 4’10”/148 cm/ 58 inches
Min. distance from Light to top of plant in flowering= 15 in
Max plant height flowering before chop= 58-15= 43 in= 3’7’
Max plant height end of veg = 43/2= 21.5 in - 31 in =2’1” - 2’8”
Min. distance from Light to top of plant in flowering= 15 in
Max plant height flowering before chop= 58-15= 43 in= 3’7’
Max plant height end of veg = 43/2= 21.5 in - 31 in =2’1” - 2’8”
Flipped on July 4,2020(86 days since clone cut)
Max Plant height = 2 ‘6”=29.5 in
86 days since clone cut
12.2 weeks since sis
lights at 4 ft, 10 in =58 in, tallest plant height = 3 ft ,5 in= 41 in
58-41=17 in (canopy to light distance)

Should have flipped here
Could have flipped 86 days - 93 days after clone cut
12.2-13.28 weeks since sis
Rule 1: flip when average plant height = 2’1”-2’8”=30-31 in. Hopefully, this results in max flowering height = 3’7”/43 in
Rule 2: Flip @ 86-93 days since cutting from clone

3. Raise plant above runoff in Saucer to prevent salt build up over long grow cycle (i.e. 183 days). If done, determine water evacuation solution (shopvac) or only start using liquid nutrients in week 2 of flowering.
4. Get higher quality genetics from the beginning to save time. Grow cycles cost a lot of time. Hard to know which breeder to trust for quality genetics. Ask your network.
5. Start flushing in week 6/day 42 of flowering
5. Start flushing in week 6/day 42 of flowering
6. Maintain distance between light and top colas to prevent evaporation of terpenes.
7. Max number of drying days= 9 days
8. Use tester buds in jars to determine end of drying period per plant.
9. Prevent bud rot by bringing plants in during a rainstorm

10. Only use organic store bought potted soil having nutrients as medium in order to prevent salt buildup in pots having no water evacuation system. “My soil” is a good brand for west coast growers.
12. Grow as many plants as legally possible outside as many of them will succumb to bud rot or pest issues
13. Only grow auto flowering plants outdoors. When is the best time to germinate autos in vancouver for outdoor growing if the plan is to chop plants before Oct. 1, 2020?

14. Started growing on 7/12/2019. Grow costs since day 1 = 4596$. Growing costs a lot of money, time and effort. Ensure that it's worth it.
I'd love to hear your lessons learned. @LaurenceJeuness @SC06233868 @luckylepreshahn @cannalukey @TempleGrower @indicapable @ThehereticOne @donfazool @eaoliver @putrid_fragrant @Grow_Supplies @grower_urban @JonatanSmallMt @RosieQParker, @qnp @JATSlaughter @WhatsMyPot @xBeast1Modex
