heres a pic of my baby on day two. day 2.jpg
Slow starter.. It took three weeks to germinate... Dont know why i kept it after two but i had a feeling it would go finally and it did.
I also have a feeling that keeping this one alive might be a little on the tricky side.. but if Get to harvesting and its a female i believe it will be some of the best marijuana i ever smoke.. just a feeling i had:mrgreen:

Not sure yet but my mom found my little operation and wants me to throw my baby out. :neutral: Ya right!
I told her i grow her herbs with it and she still told me to get rid of it..
I'm going to keep it going as long as possible tho..
The herbs i really dont give a shit about so i set the lighting up so it adjusts according to the center plants needs (my baby) lol

So what i did was dug the little one up and placed it back into a germination set up type thing.. wet towels in a plastic bag..

Anyways, while its in the bag im working on a new light set up
here is a pic Set up.jpg

I have a total of eleven cfl's above the plant at all times and a 4ft. t8 flouro. behind the plant..
I will simply start with 11 23watt 6500k cfl's and the 4ft.
*(4ft. will have 6500k spec lights throughout entire grow)*
Throughout the plants life i will constantly be switching all 11 lights 1 by 1 between 65k and 30k ... when sex is determined if male will be thrown out. Female all 11 lights will be 42watt 2700k cfl's

I will be using: MG potting soil in a 3 gallon pot. Water is all natural spring water which seems to balance out ph perfectly.

I will be vegging untill the plant is either 1ft tall or 50days old. I will most likely not prune the plant unless taking a clone. I'm going to be very patient and very concentrated on this grow, even tho I am lacking good fertilizer what i have will do fine, it has in the past. Lights, I will be watching and trying to keep all 11 within 2-3 inches of the plant at all times throughout the grow..

ya i was thinking that too..thanks.
all the lights can be switched off manually and wont turn on when the ones on the timer do.. so i will just simply switch most of them off.. this whole easy on off thing is part of my strategy with cfl's you can arrange the lights in any patter simply by turning them on or off or raising them or changing the light bulb from a 6500k to a 2700k. if you do it right cfl's can give you amazingly dense bud and.
