Newbie CFL Grow..Could use advice and criticism

[jakezking]

killa12345, I am sorry to read about your recent run of bad luck, but as beautiful a specimen as Thing 1 is, maybe you could use him to pollinate part of 1 of your new beans which results in a nice female? At least you have that option, what with 1 hanging out in your flower bed.

You certainly have the talent at growing. And, with all of the well wishes you are receiving from the grand members of this board, surely some good luck is headed in your direction! Hopefully all of your critically smashed will be females, your new beans and tent will arrive, and at the end of the day, you will have an amazing grow set up with a couple of moms spinning off clones and some sweet crossed beans - or whatever you version of utopia may be.

I wish you all the luck in the world, bro! May you have much success with Critically Smashed! Keep on rockin' in the free world!

Killa its looking nice ... pass some of the bud

Anyways, the male i killed was not femmed...

I have a femmed one going and have alot on the way, you can see the picture in my log.

Im seriously considering making a mother of one of my WW seeds as it could be funny, im growing indoor CFL soil though, im not gonna go into hydro till i know what im doing then ill try it out, probably next grow i will...

what im also considering though is starting and trying on one of my free BB seeds for the fun any suggestions ?

jakezking.....honestly you made my day....thanks for all the kind words.....i really dont know how to grow mj, but im learning.....this last run showed me that im not a total nongreenthumb.......i found CFL's, Tapwater, and tons of nutes to be the answer to my failures.....I really took everyone words in the beginning like a bible, but now i realize i have to find my own way, which just happen to work this way....

I think my success should be half dedicated to Hempy, and his buckets....this is by far the simplist method of growing....a tad bit expensive because of the nute waste, but that the reason we have outdoor plants, right? I really urge people to try this method of growing passive hydro.....the medium is uber cheap, and the buckets.....no pumps, no ppm meters, just ph and away.

killa12345, I'm glad I could lift you up a bit. As the song goes - we get by with a little help from our friends. And, we all need a bit of help from time to time - of that there is no doubt!

I sort of feel your pain, because if something wrong can happen, it normally happens to me. My luck has caused me to be a natural pessimist, but being a pessimist isn't all that bad, because when something good finally does happen it is a welcome surprise - all the bad helps all the good seem even better!

Also, I've learned in life that when you win, there really isn't much of a lesson to be learned from it - except that winning is good and fun! When you lose/fail, you remember why you lost/failed, so you try to keep it from happening again - the lessons of history. So, even though you believe you have failed (I think many members here would disagree with you on that point, as you have had a fine grow this past go 'round), I bet you have learned some invaluable lessons, which you will not soon forget. And, you have the Critically Smashed, new beans, and new tent still to look forward to! ROCK ON!

Finally, I am going to have to do some homework on the Hempy buckets. I have seen them mentioned here and there on this board, but have not really known what they were, sort of like reading a book and glossing over a word I don't know the definition of, instead of looking the word up. Well, I'm going to look up Hempy buckets, as your description has really piqued my interest! Thanks, my friend!

Hey killa are all of the plants in pictures on this thread grown fully by cfls?
Good looking plants, stick to that feeding schedule and they'll do so well.
