so i started this grow early summer,(BTW my first grow).yup on a window sil. The seeds were from some hermy weed, i got lucky out of the five seeds i used three made it to plant life and turned out to be females, beginners luck. Any ways the bitches were on the sil for about a month then i decided to take them to flowering. I was using 3 42watt 2700k spiral cfls with reflectors. Every other day i would switch out the middle bulb with a 23 watt 6500k cfl, i no ishould have mixed more watts and spectrum in but it was my first grow and did it for kicks and giggles. I really just fucked up by using miracle grow as my medium it was one of those slow release formulas that lasts for three months, plus iwas adding nutes (fish fertilizer).I only mixed up a gallon of that stuff fed it to them about twice a week lasted about a month. Yes i used a closet as my grow space had 2 small fans running constantly, temps were easy to control cuz it wasnt hot yet but at times the central air did kick on. Btw these lil girls only took a lil over three months to grow. At the beginning of the 2nd month i decided to add bone meal on top of the medium and your only suppose to do that to outdoor plants indoor i was suppose to mix it in the water stupid me. Burned two of the bitches they stunted in growth didnt really have an odor.(also added molasses) Dried the bitches for alil over a week in box with a fan at the intake and one at the outtake. The other one was good smoked that up was only about an 8th. Taste and quality of the burnt bitches was horrible so i stuck'em in a blender with cold water and ice(threw some leafs and stems from trimming in there too) . strained that and let it sit for 12hours and had some good crystals it was really harsh but ontop of sum regs or mids got me high as fuck. Thats about it lemme know wat u guys think for a first timer. Next year iplan on startn sum inside early jan. and put them outside around late march and hope for a sring harvest leme know wat u guys think about that too.........peace, love, and weed is all we need.
keep that shit going...i would start again asap if you could since you have a closet. I just started my first grow. Its a perpetual closet grow. My first 4 plants are comin up on 2 weeks 12/12. I would suggest next time running as many 6500k cfls as you can for vegg then even more 2700k cfls for flowering. also cfls eluminate mostly horizontal, out of the sides of the bulbs. So you want them sideways or atleast at an angle. or use bowl reflectors. what was your total yield the first time? how many plant total did you harvest?
iused bowl reflectors from home depot. total yield was 10.5grams. 3plants. Only 3.5 grams was actually smokeable the other 7g suffered from nute burn, so iput it in the blender and it shat out sweet crystals .7g to be exact.
if you do it again post a journal when you start...there are a lot of people here that know what they are doing and are willing to help out with info. I bet the next indoor grow should get you a zip a plant if you let them grow out a little... and reproduce optimum growing conditions...lol thats the hard part, but this is a great place to read read read then ask questions. Check out my grow journal. Im doing a closet grow myself. I will be pissed if i get less then a QP from my 4 bitches. if they do only produce that much im going to have to pimp them hoes a little harder next time.
yea man look at peoples grow journals. there are people with incredible yields because they know so much about growing. definitely make a journal next time, im sure many growers would be glad to help
