McToker's 1st Grow with CFL

Oh....... I almost forgot. Must be a senior moment. I found about a half dozen leaves that had apparently fallen off of the older female. I can't tell for sure but I'm guessing they were from low and inner branches. Doesn't look like they came from the canopy. The fallen leaves were still green.

I checked her with the moisture meter and she was dry. Somehow she must have missed the feeding yesterday. She took about 2 quarts before water started dribbling out the bottom.

HaHa. I'm hoping she was just 2 quarts low.:D

And before you ask; No, I'm not thaaaat old (senior moment comment). But the stuff they shoot me with for the big C sure makes me feel that way sometimes. Last shot in 2 months. WooHoo!!! At $3k a pop, I'll be glad when that's over.

Hey man, you two are doing a great job with the CFLs.
I'm lovin it. I started out with CFLs, had to talk my lady into letting me get a 400W HPS (which she did allow and I did get, lol) I DIY'd my own cool-tube, and so on & so forth. But I'm loving the story, and the plants looks great too.
Rock on :)

plants are looking good. hope they finish up well, can't wait to see the buds.

:jointsmile:

Thanks y'all. We can't wait to see the buds either. Been out since early July.

It has been one heck of a learning experience. It didn't realize that I actually new so little about the wonderful herb.

Hey, hope you're feeling well soon and we're glad you're enjoying your grow, we are. Thanks for sharing, McToke

Thanks Shovelhandle. We're having a blast with this. I'd been searching for a hobby I could do indoors for some time. Who knew?:D

Got to repot the smaller plant today. After that, we'll shoot some pics of the girls.

The wife is still trying to think of uses for the freak. Does seem like an awful lot of plant to just waste.

Hash.

Thought about it. Might consider one of the simple methods.

Is he frosty at all? If there's not a lot of THC trichomes on the leaves, you won't get much/very good hash...
Some males do exhibit lots of trichs later on in flower, if you let him be for a while and see what happens trichome-wise that might be your best bet.
Sounds to me like he'd be a good plant to cross a female with, see if you can harness some of that vigor in some of his offspring!
Collect some pollen :) :rastasmoke:

dooobster ~ We are hoping to get feminized seeds from the bloomin' hermie that is out in the yard.

Too late for genetic experiments. The males are already hanging in the shop to dry. There were quite a few trichs when veiwing through a jeweler's loupe. We may experiment with one of the simpler methods for making hash.

As for collecting pollen, I'm already paranoid about contaminating our remaining females. I feel like we need "Clean Suits" just to go near the grow tent.:D Might have to put in one of those outdoor showers to hose off after looking at the hermie before we come back in the house.:D
