Was your first grow successful?

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.

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.
