Hello all,
Great forums here, I've been reading over the past few weeks and have picked up a lot of good information.
(before reading on these forums I was a total newbie on growing so that may explain my sub par tech)
I few months ago I planted a few seeds that a friend had laying around. I put them in soil by the window sill and after a couple days they were seedlings!
I put my 26W 6500K Sunblaster CFL on them for 12 on and 12 off. They stretched quite a bit (oops) and after a few weeks I had a skinny female. (I used the males as house plants until they died, lasted a few weeks)
Fast forward to last week and I added a 13W 3000K CFL to help with the flowering (1 month too late). Still on a 12 on 12 off.
Not bad for doing everything wrong huh?
This is just a little hobby for me so yield isn't important and it only used about 10 dollars in electricity. So why not right? Let's call it a minimalist's grow.
Anyways that's my story.
Here are the pics!
PS Any advice on when to harvest my crop?![Cool 8-) 8-)](/styles/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

- I added maybe 2 tablespoons of some 3-1-4 liquid fertilizer while watering.
- I created a stealth cardboard box with thermo glow (totally not stealth and smells up my spare room a bit).
- The plant's top is bent because it outgrew it's first box.
- I pointed a fan at it maybe 10 times.
