So what was your process's? How long did you veg? What do you have for a growing environment? They look super nice. You have done a great job. I hope My buds look that nice in February when they are done..

I really appreciate this dude because I've been shitting bricks for the past 16 and a half weeks imagining that I did something wrong along the way, so thank you!

This is my very first grow, I have 6 of these beauties. They vegged for 9-10 weeks. I grow in my basement in a self-built set up (I didn't build it, I'm not that handy) in a townhouse . This in itself has proven to be wayyyy more difficult than I could ever imagine but I made it work. I'm using 1000w cool tubes. I honestly don't know what I'm doing. I worked in a warehouse and helped another grower for the last 11 months and soaked up as much info as humanly possible.

Hi all! I've been lurking this site for a few weeks now, figured I'd join. I'm pretty new to this whole "grow your own" thing, only about 10 months with my foot in the door. I'm at the tail end of my first legal grow, cropping out in exactly 7 days. First grow has been nerve racking, exciting and everything in between.

This is just me saying hey

You know what you're doing.

So what are you growing? What strain in what medium under what lighting using what for nutrients?

Looking at your pic, she actually might need a bit longer than a week. Her hairs are still a bit long, which tells me she hasn't swelled yet.

Growing a few dif strains, mostly bubba kush, 20 gal pots under 1000w cool tubes.

Am I doing this right!? While I worked with a grower, I never really picked up on the lingo so excuse me if you ask me something twice because I failed to answer the first time.

You're doing very well. It's just going to need a bit more time. If you wanted the same result for less wattage and minus heat, you should check out COBs.

I know even less about leds but I do know they're more expensive and I'm just a po girl ballin' on a budget.

 

[throwdo]

Not if you DIY. You would be spending more a month using a 1kW bulb. Citizens are especially affordable and effective.

@CobKits @Rahz

You do the explaining.

My electric bill is disgusting.

 

[Olive Drab Green]

My electric bill is disgusting.

I pay $80-100 every 5-month cycle. Maybe. Expecting to yield 10-12 ounces for 241w of light. That's for two plants. Definitely worth the investment.

 

[Antgotaclue]

I'm dreading mine just gone from cfl to hps

 

[Antgotaclue]

Although I'm spending about 80 pounds on it a week. And my last electric bill was 170 pound

That's horrifying, bruv.

 

[Antgotaclue]

What is ha ha what I'm spending a week or the bill

 

[Olive Drab Green]

What is ha ha what I'm spending a week or the bill

That's a lot of money to be spending each week on electricity. You don't see an issue spending 400 quid a month?

It's rougly $50 per light a month. It's rough as hell.

 

[Antgotaclue]

No sorry lol ment my last grow cost 170

 

[Olive Drab Green]

241w of COB puts out the same PPFD as 600w of HPS. That's $18 a month in veg and $8 a month in flower.
