Hey fellow CFLers,
Let's just get this out of the way:
I'm a dumbass. I made a lot of mistakes...OK. I really deserve what I get, which is some airy, thin buds--of course it is a Sativa dominant plant,
. I just fucked up in so many ways...so much, could have been preventive, but that's how I roll. Gotta move on to the next grow, which I am doing (quadruple thunder), 
Anyway...now that we've moved on. So, here's my story:
Finally convinced my wife to let me grow back in late Jan. Early Feb. I joined and made the decision to go CFL. Essentially, during veg a bunch of daylight bulbs and during flowering a bunch of softwhite (daylight = 6500k, softwhite = 2700). Shit, I even mixed some of the lights.
Then, as an uneducated grower, I ordered seeds from nirvana. 20 blackjack for some cheap price (gee, I wonder why--thanks brick top for educating me on seeds). I then decided to order some chrystal cuz when I was in Amsterdam that's what I smoked at the Blues Brother Cafe.
Anyway, the paper towel method worked great and I was off and running. I had nine plants: 5 bj, 4 chrystal. None of them feminized, so the sex was unknown.
Turns out, I had 6 females. Gave two blackjack to a good friend and member of this site.
Had four plants and then I killed one when a light fell on it. Then three and somehow I foobared another one and cut it down too early.
NOTE TO ALL NOOBS: DON'T CUT YOUR BUD BEFORE IT'S READY!!!!!!!
Moving on....
So, without further ado, my one chrystal and one blackjack that made the cut; however, my blackjack is still going, it's like a fucking Xmas tree. Almost 6 feet tall, so I've been picking buds. I've also, been trying to kill bugs (aphids and spider mites). Just used some neem oil.
The first set is the Chrystal and the second is the blackjack. I'll post pics of the other one I plucked too early.
Anyway, thanks everyone on this forum because it's from your knowledge that I got to experience this, which is awesome...even if I did fuck it up. Live and learn.
ciao...
