This is my first time at growing. I have seen a couple of my friends try it, some succeeded with substantial results and others wound up with weed I wouldn't sell to someone I HATE... I started these late in the season i think, sometime in early oct late sept. They were all started outside in pots shown in photos, all from a dub sack of decent smoke. I started with about 8 good seedlings, gave some to my boss and kept these 4 for myself...

The oldest is about 6-7 weeks and seems pretty decent i guess, i trimmed off 4 total leaves so far along the way to allow for the little ones underneath to get some light. I am in the southeast so the days are getting shorter and i think she is beginning to flower???yes???

1 took a turn for the worst and i think committed suicide, the other 2 are shown here too. I moved them indoors due to the light being at short duration right now in the "sunshine" state. I have seen several pics of people using flouresant bulbs for growing indoors, and am wondering if there are any comments on using the bulb pictured for now, adding more later, and finally getting one of those HPS bulbs for the flowering to commence later some time... I know I could go buy a whole setup and everything, but I have lots of hobbies and make decent money, so this is more of "on the side" thing that I don't want to invest too much in, otherwise I could just keep buying it like I have for 10+ years... basically, just let me know what you all think of the plants, setup, and any criticism is appreciated...thanks!

also, would it be bad to move the oldest indoors if i don't yet have a HPS to put her under??? will she still reach potential being grown completely outdoors this late in the season???? -peace

im only on my first grow as well but i dont see a problem with bringing it in doors as long as it's not in to flowering it should be ok under cfl's for now but thats my opinion i would honestly wait till some one with more knowledge comes along. were they both out doors to start with or was one in and one out coz if thats the case they would probably have to be kept apart due to insects and disease's that might be on the out door one but again im a newbie at this so its up to you mate. i hope every thing goes ok for you take care and happy tokeing:rasta:

i put a plastic seperator between them about 1/4" below the soil...keeps them from fighting when dad's not around..lol
-other then that, they all started outside, but these two were far behind the big girl. anyone have any ideas as to what kind she is??? seems to have clusters, but seems kinda thin compared to some of the pics i've seen...thanks again VG21, peace

thats all right man i try to help. but as for what strain it is i aint got a clue in a week or so u can check out my thread coz i have like 9 different strains on the go so u can take your pic from that to see if it matches any of yours lol my thread is (let's start from the begining) as in the title u can tell my last grow did'nt go so well my ex smashed all my plants and my set up to pieces so u no why she is my ex now lol. but im still here fighting the cause lol. any way as for the two in the same pot other people might have the same thought as me i think u should seperate the two just to be on the safe side anouther pot is only a couple of pence where i am dunno bout where u are but still should be quite cheap hope it all goes ok mate take care

if either of you haven't listened to the grow report it is a must. There is no need to buy a book on pot after you listen through all of them. Really a lot of info.
