Hello there fellow smokers,
im new to this community and thought I'd share my current grow and see if I cant learn some more. Im still relatively new to growing, only started 1 summer ago, with the same simple setup, on our balcony. Like in the title mentioned, right now they are receiving about 5 hrs sunlight. As the summer progresses, this will rise to about 6-7. I have heard that this should be enough and last year it certainly worked (4 fem. red horse, out of 6) but not with a very satisfying outcome i must say. I have attached some pics and as you can see, they grew quite high, but didnt yield a whole lot. I never managed to weigh them after drying but I would assume, it was about 100g-150g from 4 plants. They took about 14 weeks all in all i'd say.
Now this year, I planted 2 seeds of that red horse stuff (no idea why i bought it. the guy made it sound like it was particularly good for outdoors) and 2 seeds that I got from a friend. Sadly, I havent managed to ask him what kind they are but im sure ill know soon enough. These last 2 are looking very good so far so Im just gonna post pictures of these.
Also because of the not ideal lighting conditions I am thinking of perhaps throwing them under two little 17 watt cfls, 6500k, to help them grow a bit quicker. I have attached the setup as well. I know its very Mac Gyver style, im not much of a DIY person, hence the lack of proper light (for now I dont even know if this would improve anything) and equipment![Wink ;) ;)](/styles/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Do you guys think this will actually do anything at all? Maybe ill just put one plant under since there is barely any light. But I kinda think, the more help, the better, its not much but better than darkness?![Very Happy :D :D](/styles/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Anyway, enough ramblings, now to the pictures and in advance, thanks for any advice. Btw. I didnt use any nuts last year, this year, I havent decided yet.
