Hello everybody I am new to the site. This is my first post and just wanted a moment of everyone's time that has one to spare. I made the mistake of being a noob and not fully researching on how to grow before I started, so I know that my plant isn't ideal, so be nice. I made all the classic mistakes at first, I started it in a window that didn't get enough sun light, over nuted it, got fungus gnats for a couple days, and maybe even more that I cannot recall at the moment. For the most part I just want everyone's opinion on if I am started off on the right path or not. Not looking for hardcore nitpicking. Just for reference it is right at 2 ft tall and about the same wide atm, I grew it in veg for about 2 months and it has been in 12 12 lighting for about 10 days, also for the cherry on top it is a random bag seed :)

Yeah, that looks awesome for a first timer that did little research. Congrats on getting a female on your first time with bagseeds. I had my first 7 bag seeds turn male, after that never used bag seed again but thats another story.

How many watts of CFLs are you using? I use CFLs and it can be done.

Heres a pic of my first outdoor grow. Started indoors then soon as warm enough weather hit bout may put em outside. Anybody have any idea how much they might yeild. They have started showing hairs. Jus as far as telling its female though. No bud hairs yet. Live in maine so maybe like end of oct early early nov at latest. Got seeds from some dispensery stuff. Alwaya been females when ive used seeds frm finding in my medical shit frm dispens. Only thing is not sure what strains there are. I dnt find seeds very often and had like 3 this time growing. Did find a skywalker kush seed the other nite though that I did save and label for next year ;0)

Awesome, glad to hear it. I am growing with about 11500 lumens of cfl across 7 different bulbs atm (not sure on watt, lumens is what I usually pay attention to). The lights are a work in progress. I have spent about 150-175$ on everything so far, slowly getting better everything. I originally had a few more going but this one was the best and healthiest, I didn't have lights to keep the other ones alive(I have since nearly tripled my lumen output), I didn't want to stretch or stress multiple ones out. I hate to ask about this also, but with the current trends should I expect like at least a solid Oz harvest? Or is it too early to judge.

I will do the watt math tomorrow, ill have to look at all the bulbs when she is not asleep. I seriously think a pound is out of the question lol, im thinking like 1-3 Oz's but hey I am the noob here.

Yeah sorry, i know the lumens are whats important, but i did the exact opposite of you. I did not keep track of the lumens and instead looked at my wattage. So thats the only way i can give you advice and help you with the CFLs. I run about 650w of CFLs and get pretty decent buds with nice yields, it can be done.

wat type of nutes and soil you using?
Click to expand...
I am using a random organic soil, a couple different MG products. 1 of them is a foam, the other is liquafeed. I have used a very small amount of Epsom salt and a tum tablet (ones you use for heartburn) a couple times for the calcium carbonate. Sounds crazy but didn't seem to do harm and I needed to supply the calcium, also I mixed each one with a good amount of water when applied. I do not like using MG and other low grade nute methods but I've got to walk before I run. Like I said earlier I am getting better supplies and methods as I go along.
