O.G. Kush and Purple Trainwreck. 1st grow! Bud pics...

This is my first indoor closet grow. I'm running 360+ watts of CFL lighting and I'm using the entire lineup of Fox Farm nutes with locally made organic soil. No PH meter so I'm kinda running on the safer side with nutes and doing a lot of flushing when the schedule requires. I have not had any nute burn or real infestations. I had some fungus gnats in my soil so I added the sand to remedy that.
With the Kush the buds just keep stacking up, getting huge at this point. 90% of the hairs are still white and trics are clear. The PTW seems much closer to being done. 5% of the hairs are white and the buds are quite swollen. About half of the trics are still clear and half cloudy.
I know my stems are a little purple in spots but I was seeing low temp in my room for a while but haven't been below 60F now consistently. Please let me know what you think of my first grow. I took leaves off, super cropped all through budding and didn't use a meter. I don't think these plants can die.
I do plan to fix all that by the next grow though.

5 weeks and 3 days into flower.

Purple Trainwreck...

Looking good! +1 rep

Great idea with sand, havnt seen that before. They look good bro.

Thanks guys. The sand stops the adults from getting into the soil (or from getting out if your fast with the sand HAHA) and completely disrupts their life cycle. I saw 2 gnats in my leaves later on in the day and haven't seen any since. 3 weeks without a gnat so I say it works fine. I just used sand from the park that I baked to sanitize it. I recommend buying sand as baking it takes forever and it fucking stinks! Ewww, like wet dogs.

Nice job! I really like the idea of the sand. +rep

I concur... This looks excellent.
