Okay well I recently got my Medical marijuana card. I'm allowed six plants in flowering but I don't smoke to often. For that reason I'm starting with one. Also this is my first attempt at growing so I didn't want to invest in a huge grow ops til I have some experience. Okay well let's see what I got.
1- pitbull clone (Stoney girl gardens) so Before you bash me for falling into they're outrageous claims of 36% THC or 45 days to flower. I just got so damn excited that I went to the dispensary the first day I got my card and sadly this was the only clone available in my area.
2- grow cab ( to lazy to measure homemade)
3- 13 cfl 26 watts (2700k)
4- 2 6in intake/ outtake
5- 2 air circulation fans inside grow cab
6- all lights are on timers (12/12)
7- Mylar

Soil grow, miracle slow release mixed with perlite, vermiculite, and peat moss ( I realize now that was the wrong choice of soil.) 5 gallon bucket. I vegged the plant for a month and topped/ LST. I've also fought off spider mites twice now. I killed them with a mix of 4:1 water to rubbing alcohol. It worked well, with no harmful effects. I'm 12 days into flowering. I'll keep you posted. feedback please.image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

I plan on getting a 600 watt hps light soon. But it's a total of like 18000 lumens right now+ I try to keep them close . That's not enough for frosty nugs ?

I like to run 10 to 15000 lumens per square ft. Im not saying you wont get hood nug. Just of you did get a 600 hps you would yield 10 x as much at least. A 600 is 90k to 98k lumens. I think my tent right now is running about 20k per sq foot haha

So it's almost payday! Idk if I can get the light just yet because I need to build a separate grow room in my garage to Better suit 6 plants flowering. I also need a separate room for veg! It's all so expensive to start off but it will be worth it. I might go through this whole grow with the cfls if money becomes an issue. Damn okay. I will get more lights when I can. Also I know that lumens decrease over time. These cfls have probably lost lumens huh?

Cfls dont degrade that quickly. And you dont need a separate veg and flowering room. That is a luxury, but definitely not necessary.

image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Today is 2 weeks into flower so here are some pics. Also today I noticed a smell! The grow box is in a room that is completely light sealed with ac vents. So I usually leave my door open a little bit because my grow box is light proof. The room is just a precaution. Anyways I was gonna say I left the door closed last night and when I opened the door I got a good whiff of skunk. I also confirmed with my brother and he said that it's getting noticeable. So pretty stoked about that!

Here's an update on my grow. So it's day 19 of flowering. On day 17 I found gnats and mites and I tried to kill them with 1:4 water to rubbing alcohol with 2 drops of soap. This morning those suckers were still there so I went down to my hardware store and bought some insecticide. image.jpg image.jpg I sprayed this over my whole plant and soil this morning I sprayed here at 7:30 AM 30 min before wake up. She was dry by the time lights switched on. I checked and took these pics. image.jpg image.jpgI also picked up a bigger cfl. image.jpg image.jpgSo that raises my lumens to 20,000. Okay I'll post better pics tomorrow.

Pics like promised. image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg It's really day 20 I just messed up. Also id say 4 buds have hairs that are turning a little amber. Is that okay? Why would this be happening? I also just treated the whole plant and soil with the insecticide. image.jpg image.jpg that's as close as my phone could get I hope you can see the amber tips. Is it going to be okay?

Looks pretty. Keep the close updates, for seem reason people skip the days 10-20 a lot, most of bud spots become apparent then. Nice job so far.
