Was your first grow successful?

Was your first grow successful? If so, wat strain, how many plants and how much did u get off each plant?

yes, it was a cross breed with northern lights and something else.
there were 4 plants originally. i had to kill off 3 because it was outdoor and i didnt want it to attract too much attention. i got at least 3 ounces off it.

My first grow outdoors was 3 salmon creek big buds, 1 each of super skunk, banana, and trainwreck. Yielded about 1.5 pounds manicured.

First indoor was purple kush. Flowered at 12 inches. Got about an ounce per plant.

Yes, it was successful in that I had some bud after the grow. I grew 3 powerstout (a hybrid of lowryder- autoflowering) and 2 Cindy 99 plants and found out it was a little too much for my little cabinet. Didn't yield that much, but not bad for a first grow.

29 g?

No they were founded. Both 4 feet tall huge bush. One I know was female other was just sexing. Then one day just never saw em again.

Successful as in yes, the plants did indeed survive to harvest. Barely, lol! They were lanky, yellow, and scraggly. A handful of brick bagseed grown under flouros and a 70w HPS security light in my attic. HEat problems and soil issues hounded me. Then I joined this site... lol... the rest is history!

I have yet to attempt my first grow. Lets just say the building I'm living in now has a long history with the police.

yes

Nope ,
It was 1985 w/2 - 175w mercuryvapor security lights in a closet . = Same probs. Stinky had n probably a few more I didn't know about . No luxury of the internet either back in the mid. 80's , atleast not at my house :) . Thank god for Ed. Notes M/J Growers Bible .
Peace

ALOT of research but it worked out. Northern Lights....10 seeds....7 sprouts.....5 females.......probably about 15 quart mason jars full. :D

I'd advise that strain to ANY first time grower.....it takes a licking and keeps on growing. :thumbsup:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Yes! Lowryder2. 4 seeds, 4 sprouts, 2 females. 1 harvested and one still budding. I got a little over 1 oz on the first one. Actually my first grow was in the 80's, in the garage, under floros. Still got some bud though. :) :hippy:

During the summer of 2005, I saw this complete growguide on a Dutch seed bank site. I spent all summer reading it, over and over. Once I could visualize each step, I began ordering the seeds and lights online. The other stuff I could get locally.

Come September 2005, I germinated 18 white widow/white rhino seeds and got 13 females. Wow...that's a lot of plants for one 400 HPS light and one closet....:wtf: ...I couldn't bring myself to throw any of them out, so I rotated half from a dark room to the light room every 12 hours for the next 60+ days....wheww..that's a lot of work; but it was worth it. Beginner's luck, no problems...:weedpoke:

Kept me supplied with smoke for two years....:thumbsup:

Our first grow was our best grow, things went downhill from there, yields got so low that cost of growing outweighed benefits so we gave up, just sold last of our growroom equipment last week, needless to say we lost a lot of money on that as well.
So it's back to buying what we need.

Yes and no..
I Grew 5 bubalicious plants, 4 of them didint bud properly cause of a light leek, so only managed to get about a qauter of proper bud.Used the rest to make some nice hash.
But the one that grew perfect got stolen from a ex friends house when it was drying, It was probly 3-4 ounces when dryed.. It was such nice weed aswell, light green and real stinky, caked in crystals.. Was soooooooo gutted, when it happend..
I think it was denanitly an inside job.. He got kicked straight to the kerb, fuckin theif!!


Ohh well shit happens, So going to find another place and start another grow some time in the future..And this one will be alot more succesful..:)

No. Landlord noticed the crawlspace was padlocked with an extension cord running into the space under the door while the tenant taking care of the ladies wasn't there. Tenant panicked hardCORE and cut down 9 primo bagseed beauties a few weeks into flower. I didn't hear from her for three weeks, thought she got pinched by the fuzz 'til she finally answered my calls. Was growing under 3 48" shoplights with 2 24"s as side lighting. Kids were 3 feet tall each. I miss them....current grow of 4 will be successful in that bud will be harvested (knock on wood), but it's been a real lesson in different stresses on cannabis plants, to say the least. Sativas ain't worth a damn indoors under fluoro tubes, but that's the luck of bagseed. I plan to rejuve the indica and indica heavy hybrid I've found and try them again in more optimum conditions.

I'd say so...:)

well, i had 1 seed...and it didnt germinate

my first grow was early pearl outdoors, it was a disaster i over done the nutes and fried it.

this is my single soul pic i have left of my second grow of the spring/winter of 2006-07 and smoke a lot of it in 07 and still have a half ounce of it,it yielded a qp and 1 ounce go figure for the rest of what a have left.

Seed was a very potent high mids and smokes dam well , although i recently well not quite but still... found a bud that was left in my shed 2 monthes after initial harvest-cure/dry stored, aways and well the stuff that was left out in the shed dryed ways better then the stuff i had alredy cure up and put away ,

Quality was better and it loolked more like real chronic that was sold on the street next time i have a much better idea as what to do although there is still room for improvements.

my first grow went great. it was back in 1999. and I learned a lot that year.

heres a pic of 1 of my buds just befor the cut down.:D

well my frist actual grow was me putting a couple seeds in small flower pots by the window. They grew bout 6 inches and never made it. They were swagger seeds. My first grow I actully tried to make work worked. I started off with 6 plants (also swag seeds)in half gallon pots hidden in my crawl space behind my dresser. I had a shit load of flouresent lights riged up in there it was ridiculous. I even did the baking soda and vineger drip to get that co2 LMAO. and way after about a lot of months Idk they got about 2 feet tall, well they ranged around 2 feet tall. I planted them out back in the woods behind my house they grew and 4 became males. The other 2 females grew really shitty obiously but produced some really small buds. I got really parinoid the fuckn neighbors would jack them or call the pigs so I yanked them. I didnt get any real good smoke outta them so I ground the plants up in a blender and cooked them in some vegtable oil. I got high a few times nothing super.

my first grow was a success.

out of 15 serious seeds white russian i got 8 females,grown in 3 424 nft tanks(2x3plants and 1x2 plant)lighting was 2x600w and 1x600w and got 32oz dry.

this was some of the best weed ive grown and ive been at it for 6 years now.

yes sir.
i was young, it was on my patio. i was paranoid as hell the neighbors would narc. my dad was pissed, but knew the benifits.
it was a necessity, money is tight and i dont like to spend it on earthly stuff i can grow for less.
i was successful. yeild was low. since then its been uphill all the way.

My first grow was not successful. Of the 10 seeds I germinated, all but 4 died young; and the ones that were left ended up being males which I just killed off.

For anyone looking for free advice, I think my problem was that I placed the germinated seeds immediately into fertilized soil. That stressed or killed most of the plants. Next time I'll place them into plain soil at first. Hopefully I'll have better luck next time because I have a killer outdoor grow spot in the middle of a swamp that is very hard to find and gets excellent sun.

If the plants would've turned out female I would've had a monster yield. By August the two Orange Bud plants were over 6 feet tall each and the Northern Lights plant was like 5 feet tall. Damn! I try not to think about it. ;-)

Kinda.. Everything worked out great until I had to dry and cure them.. One of my friends who I was growing with was suppose to dry them, but didn't dry them all the way and stuck them in jars to cure while semi dry. He always forgot to open the jars to give the bud air every single day so the jar had a lot of moisture inside and the bud smelt like shit and i think mold began to grow on it.

Not in the slightest, of course I didn't try to properly grow, only to see if I could get the plants germinated and growing at all.
