First REAL grow, cfl's start to finish, bagseed

Santa I saw you are using an MG nute. Which one? reasone I ask is I have had bad experiances using MG nutes, good thing you used half strength. Try to get fox farm Tiger bloom or an African Violet nute, (Sounds weird but works very well) I have used Jacks African Violet 12-30-15 nute before with great results.

And then there was 4, 4 outta 6 female. Only wanted 3, but the more the merrier I always say. 24-8-16 general plant food. Good for all around growth.
The females are starting to show alittle something...all I have is time.

Just a small update, everything is running smootly. All 4 of my ladies are budding, but it seems one may be a HERMIE! I dont have my camera right now but when I get it back I will post some pics as I dont know what a hermie actually looks like. I would like to get it out of there if its not too late already, maybe ill just sacrifice it to the gods for the hell of it, more light for the other 3.

My experiance with a hermi was about half way down the main stalk at one of the intersecting nodes it started growing pollon sacs or balls instead of a flower, only at that site though.

Yeah I compared it to my other plants and this was the only one growing both male and female flowers. How easily can the pollen be spread? Say I took it out of the closet, but its still in the room, is that gonna be enough to get my little virgins pregnant?

im just getting startedin this indoor growth thing myself. im starting out with just some bag seed's i was wondering what you are using for light?

[SantaClawz]

Ok, just a bit of an update I havent had much time at all to do daily or even weekly updates. The girls are doing pretty well I suppose, I regret not transplanting them into something bigger. Atleast now I can learn from my mistakes that way my next grow can flurish. I was wondering...is there anyway to tell maturity for harvest time other than buying magnifier? Is it too early to start flushing? Can I flush with moloasses added, altho i havent used it throughout my grow? ANSWER ME cannabis gods! Ok, here Z pics.

Alright im closing in on harvest and I need a bit of help from the canncom gurus. Ive heard of someone turning out the light for 3 days for some reason after they were ready to harvest, why? Also what about the lower bud sites, it looks like they are like a week behind anything closer to the top. Do you have to chop the whole thing down or can you leave the others to mature alittle more? In doing that will it make much difference in potency for the lower buds?
