First grow--starting from clones- CFL lights

[BigLeagueJew]

those are some gnarly lookin plants man

[DOUGAL25]

how long you planning on flowering for?.....im curious as to what your yield will be:stoned:

[filo6942]

Flower till the trichs are cloudy, no other choice right??????


UPDATE both plants have a nice smell to them, not strong at all, but healthy green smell when you get close to them. If the CHEESE (sativa) continues to grow taller I will have to tie her down!!!

This grow really shows the sharp contrast in size of sativa vs indica! Look at that CHEESE overshadow the Purple KUSH!!! :stoned:


NOTE: This is a BAREBONES grow setup. NO fan, no CO2, no "vents" in the sleeping cab. Just some CFLs and dirt.

ALSO I did a nice upgrade from the little 23 watt CFLS to the HUGE 43 watters (close to 5000 lumens EACH!!) :rastasmoke:

how many days before you started flowering? @ 20 days they looked pretty good! yeah, yield will be small, but you seem to be dialing in your setup nicely.

March 17th the lights were turned to 12-12-- you can see on the post date of march 12 the plants were so tiny hehe.

damn, they took off! how/what nutes did you use and when?

[RamblerGambler]

What kind of drainage do those pots have? I notice they've got a water trap or whatever you call that bowl underneath it.

I used nutes EVERY TIME I WATERED. Which was about 3 times a week. I also used a STRONG nute solution and had no problems with nute burn. How odd. I used Schultz plant grow 10-15-10. I used TWICE the recommended dosage and the results are great for my growing conditions.

The drainage on the pots consisted of just 1 simple 1" hole in the bottom of the pot. The dark pot has a built in or "molded" on saucer. The tan pot had a saucer it sat on.

I think these plants are a lot more resilient than most people here treat them as.

how do you figure that you don't have nute burn? check out the tips of your leaves....on both plants.

not to mention check out the leaves on bottom of the kush.

your grow is ok, but there is a LOT more that goes into this.

congrats on your grow.

damn right they're resilient. it is a weed, after all. but please do not forget to thank your lucky stars that the mistakes you made didn't hurt you... this time. if you establish your current watering and nute technique as a habit, it can and will cripple a future grow.

all that said, very nice for a first time. i love surprises. :thumbsup:

*EDIT* yeah, what shake said
