Hey guys just going to start my first grow journal here today, been a member here now for 5 - 6 years it's been in soil for 4 days now starting to look pretty good but it's stretchy so today I will be doing a transplant in some peat shrimp compost now. I'll do more explaining about the set up after The transplant but like the title says it's going To be mostly a cfl grow

Ok so I have decided to wait a week more or two before I transplant so I don't break the root ball but here's a small update this is after one week since germination, I feel like she's doing pretty good for a little cfl grow! I'm pretty proud

So my transplant has been done now for about 6 days now we are going just under 3 weeks,
She's looking great still have her on 24-0 but will be changing to 20-4 this week I'm adding photos to this post so any comments are welcome, I also wanted to know if anyone can recommend nutrients for the rest of the grow, I haven't started any yet.

Hey guys,
Small picture update, got about 3-4 weeks left she's doing great. I just put a vanilla kush in paper towel going to start that this week so she will be 3-4 weeks old when Aj is finished. I'm looking for the best curing ideas though anyone have any suggestions or links? I've read most of the main ones.

Nice and frosty flowers you have my man !
Thanks dluck, I'm just trying to figure out when she's ready don't have a magnifying glass yet, she's getting her two last shot of nutes before going to the all water diet for the last like 5 days, you have any tips on harvesting and curing?

Looks good Phd! Sounds like you've read the basics on H&C already. Just stick with the basics: hang-dry, jar 'em, burp often at first, then less often. My tip would be to use a cvault, and humidity/temp meter, but the meter isn't necessary. Just keep up with the burping. Then add a Bov Humidity pouch to the container after 2-3 weeks.

I'm joining in (fashionably late :cool:). I'm curious how it turns out :D how many watts of cfl do you have?
Hahaha better late than never! To be honest I've lost track of my wattage it's a wide array of 2700k and 6500k going right now, there are 9 cfls ranging from 13watts 23 watts and 43 watts I'd say rounded up around 300 watts total been doing the trick so far: )I'm using pro mix potting soil and miracle grow nutrients which I have been told was a bad choice but she's been growing great to be honest I have had 2 problems with heat during the really hot summer months but other than that going great, I have over 40 bud sites from popcorn to reasonable size. Glad that you guys have been following and giving tips and encouragement! And thanks afgo I was figuring I would be going down that path of jars and burping: p here's a picture from about 5 minutes ago. Happy thanksgiving everyone
