My First Grow... Outdoor on tight budget

So a few weeks back I trimmed the main kola and the lower buds leaving as many fan leaves and lower branch growth as I could. The smoke is sour fruity dry and light and gives me a cross eyed head high with a light body high.

sounds like some good smoke

more seeds cracked open... so i got 7 baby beans in dirt now

Cool, hopefully these will go better, what lights do you have going again for your indoor?

ive got 2 26W 2500K CFLs and 4 27W 5000K CFLs plugged in at the moment, but i have 4 more of the 26W 2500K CFLs im not using right now

oh aight, they should work just fine. That should be plenty, kinda weird your seedlings are still stretching.

I think they're done stretching because the node spacing on one of them seems pretty tight... I just really f'd up in the beginning and they stretched a ton then.

Yeah hopefully the new seeds will do better, i would just clear out the ones you have indoor, they're not gonna do much else. I would focus on the new additions.

I was thinking about transplanting the 3 that are f'd up and stretched a ton to a 3 gal pot and bury most of the stem and then toss them in the outdoor grow pin.

HAHAHA genius stoner moment... You can build a ghetto grow room out of those priority mail flat rate boxes if you use them like bricks. You would just need some tape and glue and a ton of those boxes.

i would just toss em, but thats me.

The one outside sure has taken off

hell ya, im a big fan of supercroping now... tieing down the top for a few weeks made it get really bushy, then i let it go for 2 weeks and grow up, but now im starting to supercrop again by tieing down the top again but ive added in some hemp screen training.

Dont forget its sharing half a pot of soil in a 5 gal pot with another plant... but im starting to think that 2 plants should have depleted all the nutrients out of 2.5 gal of miracle grow soil by now, but i did add a half of a fertilizer stick a month back.

5 are up out of the 7 I planted so far

Bro, I wouldn't start off in MG, for one it's crap, plus you can EASILY nutrient burn and stress the hell outta your seedling. Start with some basic potting soil that has the basic perlite and other shit, you can use sand, bedrock or some peat moss. I'd also get rid of the white seeds as they're immature and don't work out well. Anyhow, nice collection, good luck bro. I'll peek in here every once in a while.

Ah, that was a few months ago ha. Get those CFL's closer since they don't produce much heat from the light itself, you can keep them as close as 2-3" without harming your plant and having your lights suspend horizontally gives the most luminous output for your plant which they will love you for.

Ive switched from MG because I ran out... The 3 out side are in MG and are doing fine... I already sampled bud off one and the taste and high was good. MG didn't burn my plants. But anyway I use Kellogs potting soil now with bat guano and lots of other good stuff in it. I usually mix in about 1/3 perlite now to.

My CFLs are 2 to 3 inches away already... and have you ever tried to mount a serge protector? they dont usually have slots in the side to mount them with so I did mount a few on the side of the cab, and as for the one in the middle that forces the lights to hang down I got some Y splits to get them as horizontal as they are going to get.

SO... This grow was scraped by the fuzz. Neighbors called and cops came and took my plants. I didnt have a dr. rec so i spent the night in jail and was let go in the morning with no charges, and nothing on my record. Its been a few months and im starting over again in a different place. I have a dr. rec this time so im pretty sure they cant take my plants anymore.

So last week the cops break down my front door because the neighbors heard my girlfriend and I fighting... They saw all my plants(6), my baby clones(6), my 5 different nug jugs full of weed( less than 2oz total), my grow closet, and the bubble hash I had... but after they saw that both my g/f and I have dr. rec's they took pictures of everything and let us keep it all. No jail time, not even a ticket.

Im starting a new grow journal. When I get it made Ill post the link here.
