Hello all,

Great forums here, I've been reading over the past few weeks and have picked up a lot of good information.

(before reading on these forums I was a total newbie on growing so that may explain my sub par tech)

I few months ago I planted a few seeds that a friend had laying around. I put them in soil by the window sill and after a couple days they were seedlings!

I put my 26W 6500K Sunblaster CFL on them for 12 on and 12 off. They stretched quite a bit (oops) and after a few weeks I had a skinny female. (I used the males as house plants until they died, lasted a few weeks)

Fast forward to last week and I added a 13W 3000K CFL to help with the flowering (1 month too late). Still on a 12 on 12 off.

• I added maybe 2 tablespoons of some 3-1-4 liquid fertilizer while watering.
• I created a stealth cardboard box with thermo glow (totally not stealth and smells up my spare room a bit).
• The plant's top is bent because it outgrew it's first box.
• I pointed a fan at it maybe 10 times.

Not bad for doing everything wrong huh?

This is just a little hobby for me so yield isn't important and it only used about 10 dollars in electricity. So why not right? Let's call it a minimalist's grow.

Anyways that's my story.
Here are the pics!

PS Any advice on when to harvest my crop?

go to radio shack and pick up a lil telescope 60x and check the trichomes, you want them to be mostly amber

Have you run that 12/12 light cycle from seedling?

Yup, in hind sight I could have run it longer for vegging.

Cool man, its lookin good, im working on me first indoor grow right now with cfls, i was gonna veg for a month or so But then i started seein threads about 12/12 all the way. I think ill veg mine till you or someone else harvests off that light cycle and then decide, im really interested in how much you will yeild. Also is it any particular strain?

I'm pretty sure it's Juicy Fruit (Sativa).
