Hello everyone. I've been an avid reader for about three weeks now but I haven't had the camera to do a proper journal. This is my first real grow in the sense that hopefully they don't turn out to be males, and its not just some seeds I stuck in a pot in the window.
To begin with...
I actually stumbled upon some plants when a friend had to give them up. Unfortunatly they were about a week into flowering and I really didn't have the nessessary equipment to grow a proper flowering plant.
But I did my best
Rounding up the lights in the house made me realize just how much I was laking. So to walmart in search of some grow lights. Two GE Ecolux T12 40 watt Wide Spectrum Bulbs with 1900 lumens and 4 CFL's 3 26w with 1700 lumens and a 42w at 2700 lumens.
thats a total of 11600 lumens
of course I know this isn't enough to flower 4 plants effectivly but I didn't have much cash, and I knew this would be enough for veg or clones.
I was hoping more time under the lights would be my biggest problem.
After about 2 1/2 months of 12/12 the 4 plants given to me were done and ready to harvest, but it was no sensi.
The seeds were beautiful and striped and just looked healthy and their mothers had a smoth smoke.
I ended up with about 3 ounces total and about 30 seeds
(I'm even making my own hemp rope with the stalks to make some jewlry)
I didn't know the strain and I dont even have enough knowledge with live plants to guess really.
From 10 seeds 7 sprouted, and from 7 sprouts came 5 plants
These are my current baby's

they have been going for 25 days on 24 hour light.
I'll be posting all the time and updating with as much information as I can gather for everyone.
Everyone here has already been a great help with setting up and keeping the controls set, so if its not to much to ask for more I wouldn't mind.
This is a wonderful passtime and one of the most enjoyable activitys except for perhaps smoking the final product.![Red Eye :eyesmoke: :eyesmoke:](/styles/smilies/redeyesmoke.gif)
All of these pics and some more can be found in my photo album too
