HELO GC!! This is am ongoin grow i coudnt wait to finish . Yes Go by the Title of the thread. Dont expect hifi gro shit in this journal. A poor stoners humble attempt (once again after so many failures) on growing our Favourite herb. No pH / ppm testers and all that shit..why??? firstly in my part of the world its hard to find these things or the nice grow utilities u guys have. secondly im a poor stoner badly tied up on the cash scene. yes no high res photos because my phone is all i got..... so .....BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH ..... ahem..... AIM: While u can see the countless reasons why this grow should fail , my aim remains to go for a micro stealth cfl grow. The concept of 12/12 from seed fantasized me fro a long time.but also the idea scares the shit outta me. So ill take somethings from both the sides . Ill veg them for 2-3 weeeks ...then flower. Another inspiration was Holefillers Micro grow(google it f u dnt knw) ..That guy proved that u can get close to yields of 1 gram per watt with cflsand a micro grow space.Its amazing . STRAIN : get ready for the disappointment ........Bagseed..good news is it comes from kiler buds a nice potent strain iv been smkin for say more than 4 years ..and as long as i have this shit i never get desperate for nething else...even hash..the high is n plain words awesome. GROW COMPARTMENT: A cardboard micro grow box as it was easy to maintain , modify and very light to move around to keep it private.Dimension 12X11X10 inches LIGHTING : 64 watts of CFL (teo 23 watters at 6500k one 18 watter at 2300 k)Lighting . 18 - 20 hrs of lighting per day during vegging. VENTING : 2 CPU Muffin fans ...one was added later for intake..i was initially ussing passive intake with only one fan for exaust. Later after the sedlings grew a bit i added another for intake. HUMIDITY : (NO IDEA )it was Humid enough for my hand for me to conclude that the plants wll be alright...If i guess it should be say 50 % approx again pH : No FUKIN Idea ! Dont laugh but i try smelling the soil . from my experience with overall garden growing , soil could smell acidic or sort of alkalik ..i MEDIUM : Organic Rocks !! A dumb ass gardening shop is my only hope here...i got a a nice potting mix (unbranded ..u dont get miracle gro , fxfarm n all that here)..it ws mostly perilite some coco coir (mashed up) kinda stuff. Now this soil had the advantage of being quite light ..yet retaining moisture....i learnt from my initial attempts the importance of watering and gettng a good soil mix accordingly Oh i also added some neem bark ot hte mix. and a small percentage of vermicompost to provide initial nutrition if needed. NUTRIENTS: I got Vermi Compost , bone meal and someting meant for roses for flowering not sure bout it yet TEMPERATURE : Not an issue til nw..its comfortable for my skin so should itbe for them babies.
a pic showing the germd seeds...the usual paper/cloth towel story..stored them at a warm location ...As far as my stonr brain can remember the pic is from the 22nd or 23rd of february .
well a few pics how it started...i kept modyfying the grow box gradually like a fkin rookie...neway a few shots on the box , the working lid i made , the lights and the fan (exhaust) ofcourse
A few shots from 25 th or 26 th feb..im sorry a bit messd up. One or two were growin pretty fast....lights were on 18 - 20 hours a day....they tok some time to poke their heads out
Looking good so far. Good luck IMHO if you are concerned about ph you should always opt for some type of filtered water. The closer you can get the water to 7 the closer you are to maintaining proper ph. Even if that means buying bottled, probably avoid minerals in the water though
a few of them are really nt growing..so iv placed them 2gether we'll see...afterall its bagseed ..right...not every seed will turn out healthy..neway here are the pics...and please if anyone has experience growing in this manner do stop by and give your feedback....its of utmost importance to me..

LOL when you click on your pics the host advertises "free porn" - why don't you just upload them directly.... or send pics to email, then download to comp then upload - suppose that's a lot of work
Hey buddy, you remind me of me kind of. I'm growing a chocolope cutting with 100w 6500k cfls in my closet. I also have a dank bagseed plant growing that's doing real real well. I can give ya a few hints. Keep a light breeze just above and around your plants. Have an intake and an exhaust for your stealth, that should get a breeze going. And NEVER use clear cups to start your plants. Put electrical or a few layers of duct tape around them. Light on the roots = bad. And use just distilled water. Not spring, or anything else. Distilled water is 99 cents a gallon or you can let your tap water (if it's not disgusting and doesn't smell like chlorine or florine or anything) sit for 48 hours with NO LID ON to let the chemicals in the water evaporate out of it. Then you can use it. I also add a couple drops of lemon juice to the tap water I use whenever I can't get to the store to get distilled. Check my grow out, might get an idea or another tip.
I am also working on a micro grow. 1st attempt, so I am not going to journal it, but I am interested in your progress so far. Subscribed!
Thanks for the interest Man..yes i have already taped the containers. i actually use two containers..the external one is tapes (so no light ) and holds water..i am using packaged drinking water to feed them... also spray the mister once every 2 or 3 days ..as it gets a bit dry...see ya...
thanks for the support man..do stick around..i do expect someting outta this...the plants are actually a bit big now..3-4 days into flowering...so lets see...thanks again..yes ill upload the rest of the pics in sometime.
