    Hello To all!

    I am pretty new to the forums but I have read A LOT of forums on this website and decided to join.

    Now, this is my 1st grow. Quite excited. Also being very careful. Here's what I am using.

    Soil: Fox Farms.

    Water: Filtered, under 180 ppm.

    Seeds: White Widow (Feminized).

    Light: Natural direct sunlight.

    Fertilizer: Dyngro & Bloom.


    I am trying to make this a very organic grow. Right now they are growing in my window after a successful germination. One of the plants however ended up with a stuck shell. Had to help her out and she's fine. You can see how it slowed her growth a lil bit. After 2 weeks or so I'm planning on transplanting them into 3 gallon pots out in the balcony. It's a west window but gets a good 6 7 hours of hot floridian direct sunlight.

    What do you guys think about this grow? Tips? Ideas? Thoughts?

    There are some pics below
     
  2. How are they looking to you guys??

  3. Will they be outside or inside? If you keep em inside make sure there is a fan blowing on them
     
  4. Inside for about 2 weeks, then outside
     
  5. Looks good to me! Planning on transplanting to a bigger pot? 
     
  6. Thanks! What is your opinion on balcony grows? Waste of time? Bad yields? Yes I will, into a 3 gallon, maybe bigger.
     
  7. If you do things right, As long as your plants get adequate sunlight you can get a good yeild. Definitely look into LST and topping, increasing your yeild

    Excellent, thanks man! I'll definitely have to make them as small as I can, plus I think the bushes look nice lol
     
  9. Hmm, I just thought up a question. The plants are only receiving about 6 hours of light. Some of it indirect. Is this bad?!?! What problems will this cause?

    What can I say, the west window only gets light during 1-7pm roughly. Probably more light in the balcony but it's real hot out there and the sun would fry those sprouts in an hour or so.
     
  10. I did a balcony grow last year in about the same circumstances as you. About 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and all that stuff. While the bud turned out fantastic, it was super airy and I ended up just using it all to make hash with. It was an auto however so that might be different for you since yours will go a little longer. Either way I'm here for the ride, I'd love to see how it turns out!
     
  11. Ah, sweet!! Thanks for the information and for tagging along, it's nice to know someone had a successful window grow. I think these types of grows are less complex. Not worrying about fans, lights, temperatures, ect. Just let nature run its course eh
     
  12. Well while it wasn't my most rewarding grow, it was one of the most fun, so in a way perhaps it was the most rewarding so to speak. Something about the way the plant just glows in natural sunlight is beautiful.

    Exactly, and cannabis itself is such a beautiful plant. Do you have any pics of your grow?? Also, when do you think I should move the sprouts outside? It's 85-90 degrees out there with wind too

  18. You can also notice the left plants top leaf is mutated or deformed lol
     
  19. Also, the plant on the left has a pretty big stem at around 3 or 4 inches. What should I do?? Thanks
