first attempt by a newbie

I've been reading here for a while and just started my first attempt. I'm attaching some pics of her. Since this is my first attempt, I figure there is room for a lot of improvement. this is a learning experience, so I won't get my hopes up this time. But it's been fun to watch her grow.
Using a HPS throughout, just added the CFL's last week. figured more side light down low couldn't hurt

looking pretty good, how old?

Great first try. How close are you to harvest?

I attempted to germinated about 12 seeds, but after a week only one sprouted. Not sure of the seed type. I had to get them from a friend, because I haven't seen a seed in months. been getting some good NL & silver pearl
it started off slow, but really seemed to take off around thankgiving. I should probably veg a little longer, but I put her into flower 2 days ago. I need to have her down by Feb, otherwise I would've let her go longer.
I hope to learn a lot from this grow and make the next one better. I've also found a source for nl and purple haze clones. I'll try them next.
Rekap, I read your grow log earlier and your stuff turned out nice. can't believe that little seedling on your window sill produced those nice buds.
I'll add some new pics every few days.

thanks for checking my journal out, i was pretty suprised myself that she turned out the way she has...same thing happened to me when germinating also... i had about 6or7 and only one actually germinated and thanks the MJ GODS its was a girl :p ... what kind of nutes if any are you feeding?

Rekap_

it was 13-4-5. other than that, I've used nothing. was thinking I need to change to something high in P or K in a few weeks and reduce N. is that right?

Hello N :) What a shame about the other seeds not going, mind you that's better than my first attempt out of 15 seeds not one of then germinated :(

It's a nice looking healthy plant, I'll keep my fingers crossed it (she) is a girl :)


love mand xxx :)

thats a realy nice first go.

Mand, I too hope "she" is a she. I believe it is and should know in a few more days. Once confirmed female, she will known as "Seka".
Some of my other seeds did sprout when in the paper towel, but once put in soil, this was they only one to continue to grow. the others never broke the soil surface
