This would be my second grow. My first grow wasn't great, but wasn't a total waste either. The smoke from it was great and in the future I will be trying to purchase some seeds when I have better funds.
My first grow.
Gone Hermie.
There seems to be debate on whether or not the seeds from my first grow will be hermie or female so I germed three seeds. So we will see what happens. I have eliminated light leaks from my veg area/box and have improved my soil mixture. I think it went hermie because I transplanted it late and had numerous light leaks. The male flowers were only on the lower half and didnt start showing up until I transplanted it into a bigger pot for the 3rd time. I will wait till these show sex before transplanting.
Soil Mixture - 2 parts inexpensive top soil, 1 part vermiculite, 1 part perlite.
Fertilizer - right now I am using just a diluted mixture of Greenlight starter solution. 5-15-5, used at half strength. I will be upgrading to some better quality fertilizers later.
Yeast, sugar CO2 generator, via 2 liter bottle.
Lighting
1 - 17 watt fluorescent tube grow light - 4200k
2 - 26 watt cfl - 100 watt equivalent - 6500k
1 - 20 watt cfl - 75 watt equivalent - 2700k
I will redoing the ventilation because right now I just have a rigged fan. The fan is too strong/ big so I created a slotted box that is mounted to the top of my veg box to baffle the air and distribute the airflow evenly instead of just blasting across one plant.
I am thinking of using Uncle Bens topping technique, but I am open to other ideas is others think that something else would give me better results.
Seeds were germed in paper towel on xmas and transplanted in soil on 12-27-09.
The following pics are from today (01-03-10). The last 2 are from the mother/father, lol, a few weeks before I harvested it.
Comments, suggestions welcome. Help me out! Thanks

Subscribed. Curious to see how your hermied seeds will turn out! I've heard high hopes of females and threats of hermies. Good Luck! Best Wishes!!!
