Hey RIU! Toking one up as I type this so forgive any errors 
lol. I'm a newb, yes I admit it but I am a very quick learner. I started off on the COMPLETE wrong path lol I was using some blue 'plant' light from lowes but from research on the forum found out that I wouldn't have made it past a month with the set up that I had. I am saying this so that you all know these plants, besides one, had a very rough start lol. Here is a link to a post donned the retarded plant which is me about a month or so ago https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/516782-newbie-here-first-cfl-grow.html
Yea I know horrible..well I grew up and decided to put into the project what I realistically expect to get out. No I cannot go MH or anything of the sort because I see the heat problems it causes and an apartment is not the place for that. Before you give me the don't grow in an apartment talk, I live in a very nice complex that gives you 10 days notice before entering under ANY circumstance unless you invite and supervise their visit. Also this is just for personal smoke and the experience of creating this magical bud yourself. Nothings like waking up in the middle of the night to the humm of and exhaust fan
My grow: 3 ft wide x 2 ft deep x 3 1/2 ft tall utility box from home depot. Has removable and adjustable shelves which are great for moving light height. 14 cfls....lol yea i know unnecessary to an extent but it only started off as 2. I just figured why not and with the low wattage used it only added about $4.50 to my energy bill including an increased a/c usage due to living in the south. I have an 8in oscillating fan inside the box and a 4in exhaust fan on the top back corner of the box. I chose not to get an intake fan because the door is usually open 97% of the time. Pots..don't know size. I was more worried about space on the floor of the cab vs trying to grow monster plants. It's all on a timer set for 12/12
Juicy info: My medium is some type of premium organic soil mixed with Perlite. Here is where you fuss at me..I've never checked Ph or humidity..never had a problem though. Nutes are MG all purpose until first pistols show. I purchased some Super Bloom this morning so we'll see how that works. All of the plants besides the one donned the retard, which now has 4 top colas
, have been on 12/12 since seed. All of the plants but the first have been topped and LSTed to an extent.
I have NO CLUE on the strain. My buddy has a surplus of top quality bud seeds (Not autos or store bought) and he gave me about 20 so any guesses on strain are greatly appreciated.
Just wanted to post this to show that research on RIU and some good smoke will bring ya a long way.
