Hey all. Over the weekend I started my first real grow. The beans sprouted on Saturday (10/7/2006). I am growing a single lowryder plant right now. In a few weeks I will add another couple plants into the mix, but for right now, it's just the single plant.

Here's my set up:

It's in my closet. Well, part of it I guess. The space is about 3FTx1.5FT and maybe 3FT tall. I'm using CFLs. Right now I have one 42W and four 26W bulbs. Once I start the other two plants, I will be increasing it to atleast four 42W and six 26W.

The plants are in Fox Farm Ocean Forest organic soil. I will eventually be using Fox Farm Big Bloom for ferts, and possibly some more bat guano and some other organic micronutrients or something.

I didn't want to line my walls in mylar, so I simply cut out cardboard pieces and put mylar on those and have those up against the walls.

Before I started this grow, I did a little experimenting with growing some bagseed. They were just in some regular potting soil inside those red beer cups. Both of those are now on the verge of dying because I am concentrating all my lights on my new little guy. The two plants that are still alive are about 8-10 inches tall and are around 3 weeks old. Does anyone know if they would have any THC in them at all to make cannabutter or anything? Or should I just get rid of them?

I will be posting pictures quite often in this thread to document the growth, but I won't post any for a few more days until it starts growing more.

Let me know if any of you have any tips or anything along the way. Like I said, this is my first real grow. I've been reading this forum a lot for the past few weeks, and I think I've got a little grasp on what to be doing. But if at any time it looks like I'm messing up or you think I could do something better/different, let me know. This is also an all organic grow as well, so if you have any tips for that, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for reading this thread, and I hope you all continue to follow the growth of my little lowryder. (I'm growing lowryders because of the small space I have. Also, this is completely for my own use, and whatever it yields will be fine. I'm going to eventually have probably 4 plants going at once, but all staggered so that I harvest approximately every 2 weeks or so.)
