Mhmmm how much did ur setup cost?
its kinda hard to remember but. $80 for the tent. $130 for 20 30w cfl and 10 reflectors. $150 for blower and duct work and parts for a homemade carbon filter. $40 on wood and hardware. Plus seeds and dirt and hydro so all told i'm over $400 in. where i am good weed is $200-250 an oz, so i get a oz dry of a plant by my third plant its all paid for :)

Day 28,
I trimmed my lower fan leaves to give the lower branches more light and it really filled out, also i gave it a full dose of nutes today hopefully she can handle it!!

I as well have to say your plant is a beauty. Nice simple and healthy... strong emphasis on the healthy. rep+subbed

Hey everyone,
I built a veg chamber out of the top half of an armoire and lined it with printer paper (it works pretty good and the price was right).
I've germed a G13 purple haze fem freebie i got from attitude.

With the addition of the purp haze and veg chamber i was thinking i should start a grow journal. I thought of a good title too "Beansfranklin's CFL Miracle Grow(ing)" because i use miracle grow

get a y splitter on that top light! it's not gonna do much that much further up than the rest of the lights. I'd suggest getting a 40+ watter in there if you're gonna leave it as is.

the printer paper setup is surprisingly legitimate though. +rep (if i could =/)

I have other ones, their just being used right now. I'm going to prop it up right underneath when its fully open. plus maybe get some socket extensions if i need them. Theres 6 26w 65k thats lots for 1 plant imo.

Well unfortunately this will technically be my 4th. First was two plants givin to me at the end of veg, all i had was two 24'' floros and i new nothing about growing. then i had a ice clone under my very first light rig with aluminum foil for reflectors (lol) i didn't get a big yield but it was really sticky and decent. Then my first WW a heat wave pushed my average temp up to 36c and i had almost no crystal formation and it was a very weak stone that only lasted about 15-20 mins.

So basically this is/will be my first successful grow (if nothing goes wrong), so if ur first grow is half as good, i'm jealous of you lol.

looking great man. i think id be happy if i found a single seed forming in bud like that... just means you can do it all over again.

I agree free seed without ruining the bud, sweet! But why did it form? is it common for a seed to form like that? and will the seed be viable or will it hermie?
