My First Cfl Grow In The Process!

faderharley said:

Hey i<3, looks like your using 2700kelvin CFLs for vegetation stage, not 6500k? Have not seen that b4, I always use 6500k for veg and 2700k for flowering.....Also will that honey draw flies to catch on fly-strips? a new one for me as well, did you have flies in your soil?

yeah... i had flyes, but only in a batch of soil i prepared... cuz i prepared my soil like a week before starting to grow, and i guess they started to grow (it was in a pretty warm area) and tfor the 2700 K lights.. im just doing an experiment.... iv read somewhere(forgot where) that if you use both 2700k ad around 5000k throughout its lifetime it could grow faster... so im just testing out the theory... i have 2 23 wat 4100k cfls and 8 13watt 2700k. so im trying to see if it works.....
and iv notice that on graphs (in NM) theres chlorophyle A and B... so if i make the plant develope on both (if we can put it that way) it might help it grow faster.... but for now, im not that intressted in getting 3lbs of weed... it just a begining project... so if it works,m then ill clone it and continue that way.... and ill buy some more coolwhite/daylight CFLs to increase the lumens.... so thats pretty much it....

ok so i did some work in the growroom....changed the back panel to cardboard... (heavyduty) so its easyer to cut round holes for the fans, changed the fans place, and thats it for now....i also sprouted a dinafem blue widow....(the "empty pot") and made a carbon filter for later on so heres the pics

oh and the yellow leafs are because i accidentally burned them :S im so sorry !!! (talkin to plant)

How did you accidently burn it? Are you feeding it nutes already? I feed my plants with some Fox Farms: Grow Big for the 1st time. I used 1teaspoon for 1 gallon of H2O. The directions said 2-3 teaspoons per gallon but I wanted to be safe, so I used 1 teaspoon. After I watered them today I started to think that I should have used a half teaspoon. I really hope I didnt over feed it with nutes. I guess ill find out in the morning if I fed them good. I also LST again today. I stayed in my grow room for about 2 hours, cleaning and planning and LST. Ive got new pics up over at my grow page. Be seeing you there soon lol.

the one where the seed is barely out, its been 2 days total.... i put it in some paper towel at like 10 at night, sit showed its tap rooot the next day, and i put it in soil yesterday... so its day 3 (and the strain is blue widow from dinafem)
and the biger one (with leaves) is around 9-10 days..... i kind of stressed it with light/water too much so it stoped growing for about 2 days... but now its picking up.....

ohh and i forgot...... if i show off my plants, its for people to see AND ASK.... haha

that seedling looks abit like mine loool.. burned. as long as new growth is green n healthy itll live. do you check the pH of your water... cos that's fucking important. unless ur using Mountain spring water or rain water u gotta fix up ur pH otherwise it will kill your plants like a plague.

That Blue Widow is a kick-ass strain... Currently I have a re-grow w/Blue Widow and Landrace Colombian Gold
My Blue Widow smells like juicy fruit gum w/after taste of blueberries. Bushy plant that stretches like hell in flowering, but her nuggets are rock hard, I had to support the colas cuz they would fall down, once again an awesome smoke imo....

ha thanks for the info.. ill try not to fuck here up

ok. well things tonight went pretty rough... (not plant wise, but familly wise) well im 19, i live with my mom.... and 3 days ago, i learned my second stepdad (third marriage) mollested her daughter when she was 12... so my mom called the cops, made a declaration (because there already was a trial in place, but i didnt think he did it untill he told my mom. so a cop from the gov. of canada came over at arround 5 pm today to discuss the matter.... i almost shat in my pants due to my grow... and after staying here about 5 hours i decided to start asking about gov. laws here in quebec, about marijuana, growing, smoking possessing... and well he was worthy enough to trust... so my mom and i decided to tell him that we smoked weed together.... he wasnt really affected by it.... so i decided to trust him, and ask him a couple of questions such as if my second stepdad could use the fact that we smoke weed together against my moms declaration(she has two younger children (step brother and sister(for me)) the police officer said no. but he said , that if it takes long enough (the trial) he would have enough time to signal it to the DPJ (childrens protection)IDK how to call it in english, and that could start a "war" and they could take my step brother and step sister's guardianship which would forever ruin our lives. So after discussing that for an hour, i asked him what the options were (concerning the weed plants) and he said... i could either risk it.... or play it safe, and stop growing until he's proven guilty and is sent to jail.... so my mom and i decided we would play it safe for now....
but because im "a computer hacker" or at least a geek.... i could put a tracer on his (step dad) computer, to monitor everything he does from my computer... (like the gov can dooo )so i can for-see his every move...from emails to his lawyers, to the internet searches he does.... so i would be one step ahead of him....and when i notice suspicious activity (calling cops, DPJ) i could prepare for the worst.... but then again... i still have to think of consequences of all my actions.... so im still thinking of stoping the grow until things get normal again.... (the trial is in june of this year) but there loads of shit i need to think through... thats gonna ruin my sleep... cause i have insomnia cause i cant stop thinking... which is why i smoke weed...including depression, arthritis,almost being anorexic.... and chronic back pain..... (so ill think of getting a license but thats gonna take forever) if you guys have any suggestions please post... it will do a lot of help !!!
PS if you want more accurate info... PM me....
thanks in advance guys and gals.....
peace.....
what a fucking bastard.... his own fucking daughter !!!!!! she was fcking 12... its been 6 years already (shes 18 now) and theres still no movement (until NOW !!!) fucking bastard

WOW! That is some really fucked up stuff. I hate for ya man, I was really into your grow. Well I guess there will always be a next time. It would have been cool if we were buddies in real life and I could just take em off your hands LOL. They were right behind my plants in growth.

*bows head* "They were so young" *crying*

Totally Baked Right Now!!

im skipping posts and idk if its just your camera but the lights LOOK like they are 2700k.. i reccomend grabbin some 6500k for veg if possible, your plants will love it.if you already got em and the pics resolution is just off then im very sorry.. keep it up though looks good mang!

Why would the people at DPJ listen to the guy who engaged in incest with his daughter? You need to relax, even if he did report it they have no physical evidence. You just deny it entirly its a pedophiles word vs the "victims" (i.e. you). The police/court would most likely just assume it is your step-father trying to make lies and slander your mother to misdirect attention from him. Worst comes to worst you take the fall for it and your mother just plays dumb to the whole situation so only you get punished.

ok... i will talk about it to my mom, (ill take responsability if sumthin happens)and i will still send my "virus files" to monitor his moves...... and if someone asks about antivirus... i tested it on an other computer (mine) and the antivirus(norton) saw nothing.....its a win for me and a FAIL for him lol
but thanks for the idea....
