Journal: Poor College Student Cultivates in Closet

I came back from my trip yesterday. The plants are still alive and doing really good. They doubled in size in the last 6 days and the stems are huge. When I got back the pump wasn't working. And I dont' know how long it wasn't working but there was only about an inch of water left in the top res. That scared the shit outta me.

I need some serious advice though. I commited the ultimate sin of growing while being gone. My digital camera with all these pics on it is missing. I lost it at a campground and I think a park maintenance guy picked it up. But maybe not I really don't know who might have it. I left a friends phone number at the parks office and gave them just my first name. I don't know what i should do if a police station calls and says they have my camera. I had about 700 pics on my camera and all the pics of my setup were in the middle soo hopefully whoever has it doesn't look though all of them, but I bet they do. IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADIVICE ON WHAT I SHOULD DO PLZ TELL ME. This has been driving me crazy. I have pictures of my house and of my car (license plate) on the camera aswell.

I don't think that this is enough evidence to come and bust down my door but I really dont know. I have been contemplating shutting the whole thing down. I did lose it out of state which I feel a little bit better about then if I lost it in state but regardless I'm scurred. I really wish I could show you all my beautiful plants but I can't. I'm a dumbass. PLZ HELP

I also don't have much time. I'm moving out by July. But I think I'll be alright. This is my official first grow. I'll be using an ebb and flow system that I bought off ebay for 75 big ones. It came equipped with grow media, pots, water pump, nutrients, 2 reservoirs, and a whole lota love. The system can grow 9 small plants. For lighting I have a 95watt 6100K cfl and a 30watt wide spectrum cfl. When I get Rating: 5

Damn......thats incriminating. Hope it got ran over by 6 dump trucks and its laying in pieces someplace. I am probably one of the least paranoid people that visits here, but my nuts would be shrivled up if I lost a camera with all the info on you did. For that very reason, I never take pics or post pics of my grows. Who wants to see tomato's, peppers, and basil anyways ?

At minimum I'd move my grow. Nothing may ever come of it. But an ounce of prevention is worth a kilo of cure.......I aint been in jail for over 22 years, but I bet it still blows.

Well - they are probably not gonna look through 700 pics. They probably wont look through the pics at all. Sucks that you lost your camera though. Sorry bout that. Did you get it back yet?

Don't wait move them now to another place before they get bigger. Do a search on my name and see my story. Better safe than sorry. It's called a knock and talk and if they say they can smell anything it's all over. do it now.

My plants are pretty much dead now. I cut the males out and tried to get all the roots out but they were so damn tangled with all the others that I couldn't. I had to leave the next day for the weekend and when I came back one plant was dead and the others were in bad shape. The bottom resivour had some f'd up water in it. It was brown and had a skin layer on top. There was also a huge foam thing in it too. I'm figuring that it was caused by me leaving some of the dead roots in the system but I can't be positive because the day before I added molases to the mix for the first time. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the subject.

I had 6 out of 9 plants become female, but two of them died after the incident. One other one has started to look really bad. The leaves are getting very droopy and there are brown spots all over all of the leaves. The other 3 plants are still recovering a week later. I had to cut off all the old growth because it was dead. The new leaves are looking pretty good except for the middle leaf in almost all the plants has turned brown at the very tip.

For some good news 2 of the plants have actually started growing hairs. It really is the most beautiful thing I've seen, even after I f'd it all up.

Sorry I quit posting on here, but when I lost my camera I kinda gave up with this. I really wish I had it know though to show you what happened to my girls. If I can bring them back to life I will be very proud of myself but It really sucks that I'm gonna take a huge loss of the yield amount.

If Anyone is still reading this thread... I recovered and have 3 plants 2 of which are doing good. I think I'll start harvesting in about 2 weeks and I'm looking at about an ounce. Not very impressive but the shit is all crystally and has a sweet skunk smell. I put about 250 dollars into this and will be getting about 400 dollars worth of chronic out of it. So for my first attempt its a success in my book.

P.S. I've only been using 187 watts total for my operation and its on only half the day. Which is pretty damn good.
