    My First Grow - Again.

    So how'd you do? It's been another month, they have to be mature by now or close to it.

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    Fuck! I had a nightmare about the cops being on to me and my arrest being imminent. Scared the ever-loving fuck out of me! I had to get up for a few hours to take my mind off it! I can't stand nightmares, but I very rarely get one that disturbs me to the point where I don't want to go right back...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    I don't think I'll be adding anymore pics until harvest time, because unfortunately I don't think my buds are gonna get a hell of a lot bigger. I harvested Luna, perhaps early, but almost all the hairs were brown, so it was probably about right. I didn't get a hell of a lot once I de-seeded...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    Well, the bitches hermied on me. 4 out of 5 definitely. The one where I didn't see any burst pollen sacs was my really skinny one, and that may be because there were so few nodes on that one. So that shoots my yield right to shit because I see tons of seeds forming on the lower bud sites. The...

    Damn, they hermied on me. Damage control?

    I've heard that both ways, though. I've heard so many people say hermies will produce feminized seeds. But I've heard just as many say that hermies make hermie seeds. But if it DOES give me feminized seeds, that would be a real silver lining! Because I think at my next place I'd be able to...

    Damn, they hermied on me. Damage control?

    I noticed this week that some of my lower buds were looking funny, and I saw a ton of seed pods. I figured they were just swollen calyxes, but I took a sample and found immature seed inside. So I took out each plant and inspected them closely. Four out the the five had some burst pollen sacs...

    Is it normal for a few fan leaves to fall off?

    No no no, every other WATERING. That's about once a week. Yeah, every other day would be a bit much. ^_^

    Is it normal for a few fan leaves to fall off?

    Every now and then I spot one that's fallen off, or still on the plant, but dried up and about to fall. Is that just a natural part of the plant's growth, or is there something wrong? I'm four weeks into my 12/12 cycle, I have five females in a grow closet. I had until today, 8 26w cfls, I...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    Okay, got some more lights today, so now I'm up to 12 26w CFLs for the five plants. I saw some other threads where they were getting good results from lighting that was near what I already had, but I figured four more lights was half-again better. More importantly, I'm up to 20,400 lumens in...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    The numbering of days got fudged at some point during all this. I think I might've put in a 9 where I meant put in a 0 once or something, and after that it was all thrown off. But I opened up the calender on my computer and did a count of the days. Now it's accurate. ^_^ But I have pictures...

    Three Weeks Flowering under CFL's

    That makes me feel a lot better about my own grow. I mean, it's been going well but I've been worried I didn't have enough. I have 8 23w for five plants. I vegged mine for about the same amount of time as you did, and I'm three weeks 2 days into flowering. It seems like a lot of people use way...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    Made some more brownies. This time I went for broke and threw in all the cannabutter I had left. That would've been *does arithmetic* about 1 1/3 cups. Double the amount of butter that the box called for. And I baked them at just under 325 this time. I had to eat almost the whole pan to get...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    Yeah, there's definitely something to be said for bag seed. A thought just came to me about it too: the reason might be because it's a strain that's easy for cultivators to grow and get sold. The profit margin of just about any large operation is astronomical, but any manufacturer in any...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    I thought I would put up a few photos today because the buds are starting to really grow. First, I have my less-cramped grow closet. Although there are three fewer plants, it still looks like a wall of green when I look in on them. But you can get a look at a lot of the tops too. Then I got...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    I can't take pics right now because my camera has a low battery. Just as well, no need to snap pictures so frequently. It's just hard to resist gushing about these plants right now. They've been on the 12/12 cycle for awhile, and at first it was a little hard, because they were growing quickly...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    Final count: 3 boys, 5 girls. So, I'll get myself a few more lights soon. Maybe four more and a couple y splitters because I'm out of spare extension cords.

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    Well, I pulled two more males today. But I have happy news as well. I've got some GIRLS! Joy! I have five plants left in the closet. Three are definitely female. One more is likely female, but I'm not yet certain. And one more hasn't shown sex yet. Also, among those three biggest, oldest...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    Well, with a heavy heart I removed my male and processed its carcuss so it can be dried and boiled into butter. And after just one more day of growth, it looked even more male than it did yesterday, way more pollen sacs. They aren't kidding when they talk about how quick those male flowers can...

    First time CFL closet grow on a budget.

    I have my first plant showing sex, and it's a male. Not shocking, since I read the males usually reveal themselves before the females do. Since I don't have the most experienced eye, I posted a thread in one of the other grow forums. They confirmed it's a boy. It's too late to get it out of...

    This looks male to me, but I want to be sure.

    Well, thanks for the help. I guess I'll get it out of there tomorrow. I'd do it now, but my plants went into their dark cycle about twenty minutes ago. I fear spotting the females is gonna be a BITCH, though. Spotting the pistils among new leaves may be tough for me. Of course, with girls I...
