GreenPower000's (1st ever Grow) 12/12 CFL From Seed journal

The vape is awesome and all.... but nothing beats a bowl or a blunt.

I get blunted everyday muh brutha! I hate resin/tar build up.totally effects taste.when my blunts resin up@end,i clip it off.i like glass pipes tho&bongs.im w/ya. Im am thinkin of buyin a vape today~

80 days from seed today.

80days from seed equals ,uummmm justa about four hundred twenty!

saw the brother - in - law this weekend : )

Picked up a little over a quarter ( a Q and an 1/8th) for $120 bucks...... finally got me some real weed he hooked me up with some bubba kush x trainwreck (his best friend is a grower)
I've been smoking this brick weed shit..... and ditch weed... blah ... harsh, nasty, adn just a bad feeling high....
I'm so glad to have some good smoke... now not to smoke it all at once ...lol
It was great, it was his b-day.... so we went to see him and drink and smoke a little. Well his best friend comes over and hooks us all up, then he proceeds to pull out a 4 ounce bag of the prettiest purple indica i have ever seen.... he rolled us all a big fat ass blunt with this beautiful weed... AND ..... he opened up his keif tray on his grinder (which was packed full) and dumped most of it in the blunt..... we were sooooooooooooo wasted...... at one point it wasn't fun.... lol... but it quickly faded....
Man... it took me all day Sunday to recoup from being sooooooo tired and staying up soooo late.

still waiting on everything to come in the mail..... will update when everything is in place.
I must have run everyone off..... lol... don't loose faith in me now guys.....lol.. this harvest will be small... but I will be growing some great weed with my new setup ......... once everything gets here.

Keep em' going strong guys.

A friend with weed is a friend indeed! Yuh didnt run me off! I know all about a sm. Harvest!! But remember,QUALITY NOT QAUNTITY! I read somewhere here- 1bud grown is worth 2 bought.

Ok.... I did the most noob thing one can do....
I over nuted my girls. They look sad.
I'm gonna flush this weekend.

What ya think guys? Will they bounce back?


So the grow box looks a little ghetto right now, and the plants look a bit fried... Is it past the point of no return?

definatly looks thirsty.budding nicley tho.thats nute burn? first glance i kinda thot thirsty and light burn.im sorry brother!they should bounce back right?

yea, they have been kept up with water..... they do look thirsty. a good flush will st8ten them out.... hopefully.. they should only have a week or two left any ways... these have been some of the slowest growing plants i have ever seen.

Aint nuthin like harvestin ur own! Figure cupl weeks till finish,time to slow the nutes anyways.

Did you give it to them full strength ? I'm afraid to use nutes , I think they will pop back.

nutes are good.start real small,like 1/4 teaspoon 1st time&gradually pick up.small amounts youll see when to back off.

Subscribed. I love CFL grows...can't wait to see how your buds turn out!

I hit 'em with a full strength dose once, and they loved it !!! so the next wattering I hit 'em with another full dose....... That fried them ... I did a lot of trimming and they look pretty sad... I flushed them last night.

I set up my new lights. I turned all the fans off and turned the lights on, I heard fans ... where is this buzzing coming from... The CFL's have fans build into the lights, right in the base of the bulb. So here are the pics.

4 x 100 Watts of CFL power @ 2700 K

Hey man, you and me both...I'm on my first grow and I've already had to battle with spider mites because the place I got em from decided to "upgrade" my clones apparently, lol. Got it under control now but shit, man...we all learn from others mistakes and by making them ourselves. I think for a noob you're doin excellent with almost nothing to speak of in the mistakes dept...you're gonna get some great product

I know I'm a bit late on the suggestion since you have chains now but I've got these things on my reflector: http://www.specialty-lights.com/710129.html

You adjust the tension with a wing nut and once the light hangs at equilibrium you just move it up and down by pulling up or down on the reflector...easy as hell to adjust. I got mine at a local hydro shop for about $15 buck but there are some on eBay for like $10.

thanks for the suggestion!!! I might pick a few of those up for later on.

Well, I have finally made it guys... I didn't Chop before i was supposed to.
Nancy (single cola all curved) - is getting chopped by the end of the week. Tric's are at about 20 % amber, I'm going to let it go a few more days.... figured i could get a little more couch lock outta her.
Gerimo (topped plant 2 colas) - is getting chopped some time next week, tric's just turned a little milky.
Then the little short bushy one with like 4 buds on it might just get chopped and used for hash or something. I has sprouted tric's, but I'm gettign impatient to start my next round and grow from seed to harvest with my new lights. Plus i will only yield literally a gram or so off of that plant..... just wasting space.

So.. I'm stoked about my next grow. I'm thinking about using food coloring in the water for my next grow. (See if i can turn leaves or buds colors)
Any ideas?


Keep 'em growing strong fellas !!!

ah, finally caught back up gp. i was only a few pages behind. good luck with the chopping this week! i'm sure you'll get some high quality dank from it. just passing along what i've learned... true "couch lock" comes from indica strains that are high in CBD. when you wait for a lot of amber trichs, that's the THC degrading into CBN, which is not the same as CBD and gives you more of a drousy high. so, just my two cents on that... i'll be here for the harvest!

Schweetness !!!! Thanks homer !!! I didn't realize that !!!

Yea, the plant is small....... all 3 plants have been abused, really abused.... they were subject to 45 degree temps with 24 hrs of darkness at like week 5 from seed. that deformed them a lttle.. but they grew threw it. i think thats why they quit veging really..... i honestly didn't have to LST them this time.. they grew right to teh lights ... and stopped... even after the LST.
Well.. heres to good growing and a harvest at the end of the week hopefully !

homer.. did I read your taking a break after your last grow?
That amnesia and blue cream are just soooooo tasty looking man !
