First Grow and Grow Journal - Attic Grow w/ T8's

oops....just realized i never posted the pics haha. damn stoners

your 44 days into flower already? im only like 18 days in and my top cola seems to have more bud on it than that, im confused... is it just because of the t8's or what? the seedlings look great though.

i don't really get it either. it was just normal bag seed nothing really special so i think thats could be why its a small producer. plus i haven't given any type of flowering nutes so that could also be why the bud is small. also the pest infestation a week and a half before flower. i think all of that together adds up to why she's a very low producer.

but for my first try, with only 1 plant that turned out to be female i'll take what bud i can get it. i touched the top cola last night and my fingers smelled skunky for like 45 minutes and they were sticking together.

yeah bagseed really shouldnt affect it to much... why havent you been giving it nutes? thatd probably be a factor, then the light would be a factor also... I dunno if touching the colas is a good idea, you want that resin to stay on there

yeah i thought that too about the cola haha but its really irresistable. i haven't had any money to but any nutes, i spent what i could on lights and basic shit ya know. i wish i could afford good nutes and a HPS like you.

yeah... you trying to sell what bud you get off her? then maybe on your next grow if your doing one you can get some upgrades.

well the plan as of right now is to harvest what bud i can off this girl. i really just want some good bud to smoke and finally grow my own. i will probably sell some to some friends and acquaintances, but its primarily for myself and close friends to blaze on. definitly want some good cured bud for 420 this year haha.


i have 4 more growing in the veg room as we speak. what i really want is to harvest this girl, take clones off the vegging plants and see if i have any girls. then hopefully keep the best mother to take clones from. then if we look a little further, when i receive my income tax return i'll use that money for some good seeds and nutes to really grow some mean bud.

nice little plan you got going there ... you should take a gander at my journal and tell me wat ya think

Not bad, have u considered adding some CFL bulbs for some side lighting? I think it will help a lot in you scenario, just a suggestions though. U can never have enough light!

Definitely a good idea if you got more room and outlets... cfls are cheap to... and will add quite a bit more light.

your right robbie...you can never have enough light. i wouldn't mind adding another 40w to the mix. then i would have 2 40w over the top and 2 23w on both sides of the plant.

and robbie, ru8fru is too good for us and the CFLs, he moved onto the HPS hahaha jk

haha... that reminds me... I got a buddy that wants to start... but the space he showed me looks a little to small for a hps... and I really dont know much about them so you guys should give me the rundown!!! ... I can take some pics of the area if you want

Hahaha I know right? trader....lol. JK ru8fru. So whats new did u add anything? Hows about an update?

hahaha... hey now... Im trying to learn about cfls cause my buddy wants to start a grow... so im going to have to chat with one of you to help me help him ... but king how they lookin? did you add some side lighting? hit us up!

well just a quick update...i added one more 42w so now total i have 4 23w and 2 42w around 1 lady. i have the 40 watters over top while the 4 23w are down a little lower to help get light to the lower bud sites. i'll add pics later tonight after work to show you guys what i mean.

well robbie harvested yesterday, i'm gonna harvest next week and ru8 you won't be far behind. it's cool to have people who are in the same situation as you are at the moment. but good luck to everyone and i'll post some pics later tonight.

haha yeah im super stoked for you robbie and me... I hope all is well and the ol lady is like her new side lighting... cant wait for the pics

Hey man i can help yah on the nutes...i got a bottle of 10-15-10 schultz plant food...you can use it every time you water, cost five bucks and after almost two weeks my budz are bigger than yours...I have never used nutes up until this grow i always try to stay as organic as possible the way nature intended.(plus im scared to kill a flowering baby) But am impressed with the small cheap nutes im using...next grow i will try some tiger bloom..

yeah i'm thinking i'm grabbing some tiger bloom and grow big from fox farms next grow. i have 4 plants vegging now under the 2 4 foot T8's. And i already have one confirmed female!! yay!! the other big one i think might be a male but i'm gonna let it go for a few more days.
