Hi all. For the past few weeks, I have been reading tons of grow journals, learned a lot in the process and finally decided to share my grow as well.![Big Joint :bigjoint: :bigjoint:](/styles/smilies/smoking.gif)
How my first grow came about :
I had a couple of bag seeds and decided what the heck, might as well put them in pots and let them grow, lol... I had no idea what kind of lighting the plants needed, I had them next to a window with a 150 watt incandescent bulb 24/7 on the bigger one lol... but i didnt care.
About 6 weeks ago, I decided to take it seriously and ordered some white widow seeds and opted to keep my 2 light-deprived, emaciated female bag seed plants and give them proper lighting, while my widow seeds germinated and vegged.
So... I arrived at this setup (I will be posting plenty of pics):
Veg closet: 6 x 26w CFL ... 6500k
Flower closet: 11 x 42w CFL ... 2700k, with an extra aquarium light on the side lol.
The closet is 3 foot wide by 6 foot long, but only about 6 to 9 (3x2 or 3x3) square feet will be used.
That gives me around 500 watts for 9 square feet max, and since those 500 watts are spread over more bulbs, I can get the light closer to the individual plants.
Current situation:
2 female bag seed plants that have been flowering since Feb 5, I will be posting pics of their progress from then til now. This to me is kind of interesting, cause most grows start with the right lighting. Here, I didnt know what would happen the 2 plants were about 17 inches tall when they went in... but they were just a stick and some leaves. Pics coming soon.
2 white widow, 1 mazar x afghan cross and 1 mystery seed. None of these seeds are feminized... so I´m really scared right now. If I get any combination of 2 females out of those I will be happy, but I really want at least 1 white widow so I can clone and keep this going.
The 2 white widow and mazar cross came out of the soil Feb 19, the mystery seed was born earlier on Feb 7.
Ok, too much bla bla...pics coming soon.
, If anybody has any comments or suggestions please feel free to post.
PS. Im new to posting in forumns... One of the grows I really enjoyed on this forum was Fyfe´s grow. Does anybody know Londoner and Mr West ? I spent so many hours reading that grow I feel like I know those guys.
