hey there. So befor I found this site i thought it would be an awesome idea to buy Miracle Grow, then I stumbled onto this site and heard that MG was the worst pretty much. I said fuck it Im not going to get any other soil untill I see how this ends up.

My set up
3 4ft Warm White tubes
5 Cool White CFL's
1 Fan running 24-7

NO NUTES, JUST WATER,
I water it every 5 to 7 days.

Not sure what strain it is but I know it is some dank for sure. I remember the bud I found the seed out of. The bud was bright green and coverd with crystals the buds would stick to your finger..ummm so sticky and awesome. So Im hoping I will get the same result

Started with 6 seeds and only one made it female.

I think that is about it, feel free to ask questions or leave comments I will take more pics along the way, Im due for some new ones tonight

Thanx RIU for all the help.

Your plant is looking nice. Too bad you only got 1 female out of 6 seeds. How tall is it and when do you plan on putting it to flower ?

Btw, Im on my first grow as well, and I´m also using miracle grow soil for the same reasons that you are. Anyway 2 of my plants are 1 month into flowering and Miracle grow seems to be working fine so far...

Yeah.. I was going to ask you if you could get a closeup of that plant so we can see some pistils.

Btw, since you only got 1 female plant, have you considered taking cuttings out of it and making more plants for your grow ?

Here is a closer look , she is lookin really nice now, Im not going to take any cuttings yet Im still reading up on that, I just wanna do a grow from start to finish

Yeah she is looking nice, you can see the pistils coming out nicely.
I looked again at your ealier pictures and saw that you have her propped up with some sticks. How far away are your bulbs from the plant ?
I am also using CFL only in my grow and one of the good things about cfl and othe flourescents is that you can get them really close to the plant (2-3 inches away), and that can help make it stronger. Also ... how many watts are your bulbs ?

i use MG, you can get good buds by just watering, im now adding some advanced nutrients at 1/4 strength , in flowering, but its been in the soil for 2+ months already and MG advertises up to 3 months, working great so far

Bud formation seems to be coming along very well. Those are really nice looking plants I´m not sure about the flushing just yet, still have a lot of fattening up to do...

Good job man.

she is starting to get thicker and she smells so awesome, its got a sort of sweet smell to it. I remember the bud that I got the seed from it had that same smell, a couple of people that smoked with me said the same thing about the smell....its differnt. and so good. HOW MUCH LONGER TILL I CAN CUT HER AND SMOKE HER:bigjoint:. Im thinking about 15 days till harvest. 5 days until I start flushing.
