First Grow, First post!

This is my first grow! I have put my babies into flower this week! There are only two, out of the 6 I started with! Two were only Females! The seeds came from my father, who grew because of cancer! I grow for fun and pleasure! He got seeds from net! I have seen his finished harvest! These were nice dense, PURPLE buds about the size of banana's! I could only hope! I am using CFL. My father used 400 watt HPS! Father grew Hydroponics! I am using soil! Please, all I am looking for at this point, is opinion of how it looks! If you guys need more pics, let me know! Thanks in advance! Thanks for opportunity to use forum as well!

Better pics, I guess!

plants are looking pretty good..what kinda soil are you using?did you add anything to your soil?also what kinda nutes are you using?

is that 2 plants in one pot?

Well, funny story! I did not plan this grow, just happened! I started some seedlings, and could NOT get any thing to grow! I did this about 3 times! I finally gave up and told my girlfriend to empty the pots for a bowl for dog water! She did alright! Right in front of my storage shed! Needless to say, a month later I was cutting the grass, and seen 6 of these plants growing, and was about to run them over till I saw the leaves! SCORE!!! So I dug them up, re potted them in Miracal Grow Garden soil(All I had on hand)! As for nutes! I am using this Mix that has 24%(nitrogen), 8%(Phosphorus), 16%(Potash) when I water! Only add nutes every other water tho! I forgot to add, I started to flower after the nodes started to stagger! This was also when the hight reached about 15 inches for one, and 18 on the other! If I produce smokable smoke, I will be satisfied! Yield isn't really an issue! This is just a grow for learning and getting familiar with the process! Once comfortable! I will really apply myself in it, and hopefully have something to brag about!

WAS 2 plants in one pot! I have since re potted in thier own 5 gallon buckets!

mg is pretty hot to start out with,,,at whatstrength are you feeding the nutes?looks like you could back down a little..also you want to try to find a flowering nute with not so much n in it..

Thank you! I will!

For a first grow and using cfl's they look good. Keep it up. May want to consult your local hydro store about some different neuts. The one your using has way too much nitrogen. Again looking good though:rasta:
