    Default Swazi Pure Sativa Indoor Low wattage Cfl grow with desklamps .

    After seeing the site a few months ago decided to do a low watt cfl so that I`d have something to contribute for the winter . Started my plants with a 26 watt 4000k coolwhite cfl and then after two weeks added 36 watts of flurotube same spectrum until about 5 weeks . Then Started flowering added 3 more desklamps with white reflectors on them and replaced the 26 watt 4000k bulb . So now have four very low wattage cfls two 18 watt 2700 k lamps and two daylight or full spectrum 6500 k 23 watt lamps , so 82 watts of cfl not ideal spectrum to have for flowering and 36 watt of coolwhite tube fluro .

    In a two foot square cabniet . Staying in a small place so got the cabniet under a desk in a small cab with just a box fan pumping air in .

    Grew 3 Seedlings topped one at day 28 ,but it turned out male ,topped the other two at week 5 and both were female . Killed one when i dropped the t-8 or t-12 unit on it so was left with only one female under 118 watts of light .

    Haven`t got equipment to measure the humidity or soil PH or anything and only given the plant bonemeal ,some organic compost and some molasses in pre flowering. Any sugggestions on what could be sourced at a localnursery to feed this pure Sativa strain indoors , it`s similar to Thai .

    Got Some Indica Bagseed going atleast now aswell didn`t have these seeds at start of grow also I wanted to try the local strain indoors . But with my space it was dumb and was lazy with lst`ing as i didnt have any screws or clips . Now a 1,5 ft plant with most of it`s budsites tied down .
    Will get a Hps next winter but these cfl`s are great to learn with also what is anyone`s opinion one of these http://cfl-growlight.com/store/2000-...unit-p-19.html (Impressed with the 228 Us Dollar price It converts too about 2000 bucks for me ,the hps is 2599 bucks with ballast and reflector if I source it locally) also avalible in flowering spectrum and 4000 watt system vs a 1000 watt Hps with Digital ballast .

    First indoor grow pretty ghetto with desklamps and wrong strain for space (noob decision ) but keen on upgrading so it`ll do for now and where I`m staying on a plot with two other small houses on it moving soon though will be able to make a much larger cab and start growing outdoors again .

    Pics are from 12 days from seed seen with white plate those are the swazi`s then some pics at 28 days and then bud pics are around day 60 and day 70 the other seedlings are from other grower`s the one looks very indica so hopefully have better luck with it . Peace from South Africa Great SITE.

    Welome to RIU, we all had to start somewhere.See if you even like to grow before investing alot of money.Bunch dont and end up wasting there hard to earn money. Not hard to tell the Sativa from the Indica wish i had that thai strain.

    Thank you think Nirvana`s full moon is a type of Thai strain they developed should order some,Thai weed has same chemical structure as these Southern Africa Sativa`s . Definately want to continue growing it`s the best will eventually buy some quality beans from Nirvana or Attitude and get all the required ventilation ,some Hid lights , Carbon scrubber , hygrometer ,nutes , adequate space and all the other things required . Done two summers of outdoors with these pure Sativa`s so gunna order some quality Indica beans and crossbread them with the local strains and develop some very nice hybrids oneday .

    So this nice budding plant is the swazi? Always wanted to see what swazi looks like when its grown indoors! I have 1 growing indoors aswell now, about 45 days old and 50cm high, but growing under sunlight through a big window getting sun from sunrise to about 5 so its doing good!no idea when flowering will start with this tho?? I read it might start in september? Mine in my grow cab is "greenhouse", not exactly sure what that is but that's what they call it here, been getting that lately, havnt had swazi in months, that used to be the main strain we got here

    Ah nevermind, saw now what you said about the indica. My swazi looks very similar to yours, little smaller but then again yours is older so its should be bigger. 1 have 3 going in one big paint bucket, my FIRST ever grow before the 1 in my journal, even before reading any sites or anything haha

    What city you near by swazi is abundant . I just been getting skunk lately im in EL just been getting seeded skunk one or afghani so i`ve started it now 2 of them have hairs already to replace the swaz after it`s done . My weakest swaz plant survived and is in budding but it gunna taste nice starting to smell of pine and fruity . The one getting sunlight should just start flowering automatically since it`s getting less than 12 hours of light because we in winter now or you could be right and it`ll start flowering in september when it`s spring the start of the season and the sun starts rising earlier . You should update you`re grow journal with a pick of the windowsill plant .

    I'm near CPT, here swazi is sold for about R20 - R30 a bankie, greenhouse that I'm growing is solf for around R30 a bankie but its much smaller than the swaz bankie. In the swazi bankie you get a bunch of seeds so the smoke is shit, not very potent, this "greenhouse" is good, nice high, but changes to a stoned high after about 1-1.5 hours. If you are willing to spend some cash you can get cheese here for about R100 a half gram..damn they are scaley! But we buy from dealers in the coulered area..around here you don't really find legit growers so getting something like northern lights and so on is hard, but sometimes you get lucky.

    I'm hoping they will be done soon as I'm not sure if they are female, coz they get sunlight but my lights go on and off as I enter and exit my room so they might turn hermie right? I will add pics tomorrow, too high, too tired, too lazy right now haha
