first grow, first journal

i started this grow in october.. and i was still learning and adding things as i went.

here is a pic when all i had was 3 cfls and 2- 4 foot t-8s and growing with miracle grow.


and here is a picture of it the next day when i transplanted it into fox farms ocean forest... (my turning point to growing decent bud)



and the next 4 pics are of its vigourous vegetative growth over 2-3 weeks after the transplant...








next pictures are of the flowering plant which took 13 days to show. as of today i am 33 days into flowering. i added a 70 watt home depot HPS light in as well, and took out the 4 foot tubes... kept the CFL's. also, i had a seed my friend got from a bag of unknown chron... and i dont have ne pics of it in veg state... but a few of it flowering. i tried flowering it early and is doing good... the leaves coming out of the buds are very crystally... and i am noticing it turning a bit orange.





and the next 2 pictures are of my chronic plant.







all these pics are taken with my camera phone. so sorry for the quality.

i want to cut some fan leaves off because theyre blocking alot of light to the buds down the stalk... so any tips on that will be useful. also give me some info on nutes to be giving/molassas. i havnt given any nutes throughout the grow besides whats in the soil.

and most of all...id like to hear some applause as well.

Your plants look good, good luck on getting ladies.

thanks rocky... anybody else out there with tips/ advice?

bump.. day 35 of flowering... this thing is gettin sticky!!

and here is a pic of my smaller plant.

42 days flower.. started feeding beastie bloomz.. 23 inches tall

looks good man. What strain you growing?

that one i just posted is an unknown bag seed from some real good midgrades. the smaller one is an unknown chron bag seed... the chron is very very sticky.

Looks like there's tons of stretching, how far do you have your hps light away from the tops of your plants?

its inbetween the plants. one is probably 4 inches away and off to the side.. and the smaller plant is resting ontop of stuff so that it can be closer as well, but it is still about 8-10 inches away... there is great air circulation as well and the light doesnt get too hot... so maybe i should move some things around.

Have You Thought About Adding Co2 To Your Plants? It'll Help Give You A Bigger Yeild.

i have it written down (how to make c02) just havnt done it yet.

day 50 of flowering

i cut down my small chron plant at day 47 because the seeds were overtaking the plant... it turned hermie. the nug i had left was weighed at 14.9 grams. i let it dry for a few days and sit in a jar for a few days... its pretty dry though... the stem snaps and it feels dry. i just smoked a bowl pack of a little bit and it is an awesome high.

cut down.. 43.2 grams wet.
