First CFL Indoor Grow

[IntenseNewbee98]

So here's the picture, I kinda just wanna get straight to the point cuz I've typed 3 pages of details 2 times and everytime my server refreshes for no reason and gets rid of it, so here we go.

I'm an "18 year old" who loves :rastasmoke: I mean pftt who doesn't? Well anyway I found 2 waist size speakers around the house one and and built them together and created my own grow box. I then dangled 2 CFL lights 26W each, with 2 installed USB fans from stripping old computers running through a hub and into a USB to AC adapter to the wall. 1 fans' exhaust and the other intake. About 2 weeks into the grow one of the lights fell when I was away at my dad's. It pretty much took out the top half of my plant. I wasn't too worried, I mean its a weed it'll regenerate, so i topped the stem right under where it had snapped. Sooner or later it grew back new and improved haha :jointsmile:

^All of this happened during May and early June. I've been away since then, and its currently in 12/12, 8-8 big and beautiful! I haven't seen it since i last went home which was about 10 days ago. Last time i saw it, it has some nice lookin buds comin' in!! :rasta: its going on its 9th week of life on thursday, It's been flowering for about 7 weeks now, itll be about 9 or even 10 before i get back home to it so im not worried about waiting for it :p!

So there's my first indoor grow, tell me what you guys think!

I had 3 running in there for a week of the flowering, it got waay too hot in there, if I'm going to add more im gonna have to install wider fans.

you need to check the flowering a little more often, too get rid of the males, unless you already know , in which case. Excuse me.

Im sorry if you cant that sux

Nope its just one plant, and it is indeed female, a friend of mine (older and really experienced) said that it looks like a hermaphrodite, if so I'm gonna have seedy shit but hey weed's weed right? haha!

[coyg74]

man that sux weed is def not just weed

[natrensland]

I AGREE, if it is indeed a herm. your thc level is going next to nothing when its a herm. it puts most of the energy into making seeds not thc

Actualy hermies are super potent if harvested just right it needs experience alot to know what you are doing with hermie ... :) When flower starts to form seeds it protects them with coating of THC glands :D in theory atleast.

Some weed farmers that i know introduce male into their garden just before harvest for ultimate potency

I have tryed some hermie weed tought it had some seeds in it but man was i stoned coughlock tought...

I have bit heat issues too but around 90 when lights are on and down to 74-80 when theyre off.. Fans are blowing 24/7 on 200cfm

Haha yeah it was just a thought i had and so i tryed it. Well worth a try am i right? Haha but yeah you always need them fans running :D

Yes :D but far as im concerned outside tempatures are around 90F always and these puppies like to grow outside like any other weed :D

Plants will double or triple in size during flowering. Make sure you have enough room in there so they can stretch out a little bit.

2x 26 watt CFL's + what your doing = good job:thumbsup:

Keep it up man.. But do what im doing. If you have a couple bucks and don't need to buy weed. Throw in an extra light or somthing in there. :twocents:
