Just to show how much of a budget grow this is... support your local goodwill for growing supplies! 8 bucks for a humidifier and a light socket with reflector and even a cfl Included!

Ballin on a budget .. nahh that's legit. I like saving money i don't know about others Good one.

Still use that bitch to this day, works like a charm haha.

Pineapple express, it has been 26 Days today since she showed her first pistils. She looks beautiful. Very bright green, healthy plant. The smell is absolutley amazing. I would compare it to what other have said PEX smells like and that is a pink starburst. Very strong odor, but very pleasing to the nostrils. I'm also excited that my og kush seedling loves the 12/12 schedule and continues to grow! I am extremely excited for my greenhouse jack herer, fast and vast auto, and amnesia auto to arive! Going to start with the 400w hps and possibly move to a 600w. I have a 78 inch wide x 58 inch deep x 90 inch height. Walk in closet that I am using for the grow. I am considering adding a inline fan for my cool tube. My Temps about 85 above the canopy now, not necessarily a heat issue now. But an inline fan would kick it down to mid to high 70's and that is more optimal. Here are some photos. Not the biggest buds, I haven't provided it with an optimal enviorment so I'm assuming that is why. Still she is frosty and she is alive so I'm happy. Lots of trail and error. She has held up well.

Also added my 42w cfl for supplemental lighting, it's a 150w equivlent cfl. Fairly large. Hope it helps increase my yeild.

Heh, takes me back! Was so worried about finding out their sex on my first go...got lucky with my mystery gifted seeds, they must have been feminized because all 10 I sprouted so far all turned out fems.

Give them a good little while and keep watching them. Male flowers develop faster as a they need to pollinate females early so the seeds can develop (ie not 8 weeks into flowering). But you'll have plenty of time to clearly identify a male before it pollinate, especially since you are checking them every day
And if you do have a male maybe consider letting them mate...?
With a male+fem you could make a seed crop and have a lot beans to play with. I also read this helps as seeds made in your garden will be "better suited" for it, and it makes sense though I haven't tried it yet.

But if you are dead set on just growing females or don't have any, I can look into the feasibility of sending you some

Cheers!

send me some!! Lol all 8 of my seeds turned out male and I am a broken man

O.G Kush seedling a first leaves are looking alot fatter then what the PEX looked like and it's doing so well. Pineapple and O.G are definetly in my top 5 strains. So happy I'm able to grow them, such a great feeling and satisfaction. I love growing cannabis!

Nice man. Oh lordy my hps gets here tuesday. It feels like christmas is coming! Today is day 21 for my texada timewarp but there are no trichs yet! lots of buds though. This plant grows like a christmas tree and i tied her top down, so i got plenty of tops now but they're not snowy yet

This pineapple is wicked frosty haha, the herb the seed came from definetly was not this fire. The hps is totally worth it.

fuck that looks delicious. I can't wait until mine are that frosty! I was thinking about doing a log but I'm too lazy. I might for my cbd therapy when i get the seeds. its been 11 days since I ordered, I'm starting to get scared they won't come haha. patience is not a skill i possess

A journal is definetly worth it, cool to look back on aswell. Yeaaa shee looks delicious, but the smell is better ,
I can't wait to smoke her haha, bout 4-5 more weeks.

O.G Kush seedling looking nice. Growing good giving her some extra light during the pineapples 12 hours off whenever I can. Leaves are looking fat and kushy already.

It looks really really nice good job!

Pineapple Express looks lovley. Today marks one month since she showed sex. The smell is amazing. OG kush seedling is doing outstanding aswell. Still waiting for my seed delivery, hopefully customs didn't nab them.

She's looking so fine, very nice. Hope your seeds come. Mine came this week and on the same day my 400 was here. woo! great day! My Therapy has already cracked and i put her in some soil. shouldn't be too long before i see the ground break. Sucks that I won't get any kind of high from this plant but hey, at least I'll hopefully be able to cure myself. I read some interesting articles about cbd and its healing effects lately so I'm very hopeful with this. I don't even remember what it feels like to not be ill.

Thanks sun! Your going to love the hps, but not as much as your ladys . Side note, Cannabis definetly helps me daily with countless mental and health issues. Hopefully it can give you some relief. Growing is sort of a therapeutic aswell. Keeps your mind occupied. And that's always nice!

Some recent photos of her.

Photo of my setup now, a bit updated. Have a bathroom fan in the cooltube Keeping it cool. Canopy is 10 inches from the light.

I have mine at 12 inches or so right now I think. was thinking of going a bit lower. Today is pretty sunny here though so I'll put her outside. yeah growing is very theraputic. I've always spent a lot of time inside my grow room, but now that i have an hps, i don't think it's too good for my eyes lol. Yeah I have mental health issues as well, that's why I can't toke! arrg. smoking herb is one of my all time favorite things. I haven't been able to for about ten years now. I've read that high cbd/low thc bud can actually repair the brain, this is what I'm hoping for. After ten years the doctors have helped me very little. Mother earth hopefully has provided!

Just invested in some flora 3 part. Excited to see the results of it! Got 4 2 gallon smart pots for my autos coming and to transplant my seedlings into.
