That's a great question, Ricky, and I do receive criticism often when I teach English, but I press on like the Johnny Appleseed of communication in spite of that. You are among the few who made your opinion known without injecting anger into your response, and that speaks to your maturity and self confidence.
Would you agree that pictures are best when they are in focus, well framed and lighted properly? If a picture isn't clear you may be able to figure out what's going on, but it's neither as easy or as impressive as a really good picture. Same with words. That's all I'm saying. Words are the way humans communicate. Let's keep getting better at it, not worse.

Final Yield of my tall big plant was around16 grams I smoked a few bowls... ouch doesn't seem like much but it's really quality shit, and id rather have quality over quantity. it's not about the yield for me personally it's about growing I'm guessing I'll grow 24gs total the other buds are smaller but a little heavier I'll post when I jar itimage.jpg image.jpg

Thanks for the imput brutal but true! I double wraped the mylar blankets in fear of being too thin. I've only spent like 60$ I'm total for this grow I know my lights are bad but I'm making due with what I have and I'm working on getting a dehumidifier and better lights ! Will see where this goes
just remember to treat it like a weed. u should see sum of the things i used to get my grows going lol, on a plus note tho most of the shit worked :).

I finally got around to finishing reading every post in your journal start to finish.
All I can say is good job man. Considering you've had very low wattage, bad ventilation, humidity and temp issues an ounce that cost you $60 ($100 tops if you include the tiny amount of electricity your small lights would have used) is still a bargain in my books. And that's not to mention all the experience you've gotten along the way.
Like I said before mistakes are just learning what NOT to do, they're a good thing as long as you learn from it.

I really hope you enjoy the modest harvest and use the money saved to clean out and set up that perfect grow space you've got in your basement.

You would be better off putting them back in 18/6 until you get lights or toss all but 1 and put all the lights on it in a smaller box lined with mylar.

image.jpg Thank you everyone for the positive feed back I really appreciate that. It's a little late to put them back under the light as they have been cut down, but I'm starting out a auto flower to see how quick I can grow some buds.

Eatspam I spent 120-140 total on everything that would have cost me 200-280 local and I know every last detail about the bud minus the strain, the worst part was how long it took 5 moths of champagne taste on a beer budget. I'm happy with the results pretty good bag seed! I have only meet one grower whose bud ive smoke besides myself (Colorado) and I have to say I'm proud of myself.

image.jpg image.jpg Things are going well I tried all perlite medium, and my plant seemed to not be thriving or growing much so I switched it to mostly perlite and a center dirt ball and it seemed to like that better. Day 8

image.jpg image.jpg Day11:Things are moving along slowly but surely the euro plants are strange. I can't wait to see how fast a low watt auto flower will grow.

I noticed a little yellow so I'm adding a little nutes nitrogen cal mag plus a little dyno grow because the soil is spent and it's mostly a perlite mix for both plants

image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg DAY 21 I switched my runt from mostly perlite to mostly soil I don't have a ph meter or ppm so it's all kinda guess work and the soil is more forgiving and let's the roots grow more easily I've already noticed an improvement in the plant. but the other is looking good and big. I went kinda gun hoe and planted all my seeds some auto some bag seed cheers

image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Day 22-23 I kinda cleaned up my electrical wires they were a mess and there a little neater now still kinda a mess but good for now. I added lights and a few extra sockets with a extension cord . Got some Chem dog that keeps me steady high and motivated it's nice bud smells better than it looks and doesn't get me stupid high like my home grown. But something's gotta hold me over till next yield
