Yrteop, Poetry backwards - first grow

Yrteop · #1 03-12-2008, 11:50 PM

Hi, I'm a college student and this all started when after a party at my house i found, while cleaning up after, 8 ripe seeds on the kitchen table. Just for the sake of curiosity I tried to germinate them. I folded them in a wet paper towel and placed that in a bag. I left them out in the sun, and sure enough all of them sprouted. So I then I placed them in solo cups and let them outside. I did that till they were about an inch tall and now today i have made a small grow room for them. These pictures are their first day in the room. Its a small closet i guess, I put some mirrors up on two of the walls.
I also have two 13watt cfls and a blue light shinning on them. I use miracle grow house plant food every other feeding.... PLEASE this is my first grow. I would love any advice.

this is the second day that these babies have been under 24 light. so far soo good. its nt hot in their with the cfl's which is nice. If you look close enough you can see that the first set of leaves are separating....

Here are my baby's they are coming along nicely. I have added some more lights, replacing some of the incandecent bulbs i had before. While trying to change the lights i didnt move the plants and accidentally burnt some of the leaves

.

Im really proud of them and its such a joy to come home and see how they have grown that day.

My question - can anyone tell me how much dried nug i might expect out of 4 of these plants if i were to start the cycle now. and would i be able to harvest them by early may?

looking great you should feed your plants around once a week to two times a week.

hey bro, just stumbled across this thread. i think ill suscribe!
im not a very good guesser at dried bud, but i dont think you will be able to harvest by early may, even if you start now.
Cannibis usually takes 8-10 weeks to flower.
Btw, expect to need much more light.

Duece.

i am now doing the 12/12 cycle, i started on March 23...

i have 4 different 23 watt cfl's, 1 13watt cfl and a blue colored light bulb. Is this enough? I keep the lights very very close.

i have 6 lights for 8 plants, is that enough

here are pics after turning the lights off
