Ok, I already had one grow. My plant was pretty fuckin healthy and growing fast by the end. That's because I stopped watering it when it wasnt even really that dry, and it took off. Repotting helped too, there was another boost there earlier. My single plant was about 18" when I cut it because it was a male and well fuck that. 3 months (i think) and no bud. Oh well, it was a learning experience. I tried to make cannabutter out of it but it sucked. Ok, so now I have some seeds out of a pretty damn good bag for being regs/schwag/whatever. I germinated 4 seeds, they all germinated. For that I used the paper town + bowl method and closed it air tight with plastic wrap. Then planet them all when the root was pretty long, and the next day for 2, and 2 days for the others, they all sprouted. 2 of them the shell of the seed came off by itself, but for one I carefully took it off and its doing better now, and there's 1 more but i'm not gonna touch it and see what happens. Oh, btw, if I go on in my sentences for too long is because I left school sick becuase I almost threw up 1st hour because I was coughing so much (fucking cold) so I smoked a J and i fell better now. Alright where was I? oh yeah. Ok so I have them all under 1 26watt spiral CFL. I have another 26watt one, and then I have 2 15 watt tube flouros so eventually i'll have about 82watts on 4 plants. I plant on buying more lights. I'll have to hold off on some weed for a week or 2 and I'll buy a small HPS or MH lamp for flowering or even before that. http://www.insidesun.com looks pretty damn good I like their prices. Alright well once I get my digital camera back I'll take some picture and post them. Wish me bud
Hey thanks a lot Imperialgodfly. I just checked out your grow; it's fucking amazing! It actually made mad because I'm so jealous, lol. Oh yeah, does this look like a good deal to anyone? http://www.insidesun.com/index.php?action=item&id=749&prevaction=category&previd=2&prevstart=0 It's a 400watt HPS. Would it be enough for over 4 plants?
Ok I took out one of the seedlings. I have the best 3 remaining. I noticed I forgot to add the pictures to my last post. I wish I didnt let them stretch so much in the beginning, but oh well. Pictures:
whoa, that is fucking briliant with the soda cans for reflectors!!!, i would put your light closer with a fan.
Lol, thanks g4howie, but I got that idea on overgrow. I've been stupid as fuck and overwatering my plants. They are droopy as fuck and growth is a little bit slow. I'll correct that problem and hopefuly things will take off. I just got drunk and high at the same time, so I feel pretty damn good right now. I passed out on the couch and woke up feeling a little graugy, but I took a shower and put on some pink floyd. I feel so good Hope you all had a chance to blaze on this friday night
Bigger pots is a good idea. They are wide but not tall. Stem thickness is up a bit since i put on a fan.
Eh nevermind I just went in my room (i just woke up) and over night i guess the excess water dried up in the soil and everything is looking pretty damn good.
Ok, all but one plant was doing well so I threw all the rest out. I also bought 2 more 26watt CFLs. It's pretty damn bright in there now. So if I add my 2 15 watt tube fluoros I'll have 134watts on one plant. Last night I got some really really good weed, some of the best I've ever had (smoked half a bowl or less this morning and I've been high for a couple hours), but for some reason it had a small amount of seeds. I'm taking all 4 (there may be more i didnt break up all the bud yet) and germinating them. I'll take the best sprout and put it beside this plant. I also ordered some Ice and Early Misty seeds from Nirvana. The Early Misty will be for outdoors and one or two of the Ice will be for indoors, maybe more. Some seeds will be going to my friend who also grows. I still need to put reflectors on my new lights but all in all I think the plant will start growing a lot faster.
