Hey guys!
Sixtyfive here. Thanks for checking out my new grow. This first entry is a little rushed as I must go to work (high fives for getting a job! lol). First off let me say my first grow was a disaster, it was my first indoor grow. I had bad lighting with wrong spectrum's, my plants suffered from a severe case of Nitrogen toxicity, and had low grade soil. But, I am glad to say that I am a more knowledgeable grower now thanks to these forums and all the advice the community gave. I am taking what I learned and doing another financially efficient grow but with better supplies. If at any time you would like to ask me questions I am always happy to help and I am never too good to take advice. We're here to help each other
So without further ado, lets get started.
Lighting Sources:
3x 42 True Watt CFL = 6105 Lumens total burning @ 6,500 Kelvin.

(upgraded from 3x 23 True Watt CFL = 4000 Lumens total burning @ 5,000 Kelvin).
Soil:
2x Pots with Miracle Grow Organic Choice (mixed with 1/3 Miracle Grow Perlite)

2x Pots with Miracle Grow Potting Mix (mixed with 1/3 Miracle Grow Perlite)
http://www.miraclegro.com/smg/goprod/miracle-gro-perlite/prod70256/
(upgraded from Dollar General brand soil mixed with Black Cow)
My first grow did produce a smokeable bud but it wasn't anything special. Certainly not what I was hoping for. The buds where very small (popcorn buds) and the hit was very harsh. Between 3 fully mature fems I was only able to harvest MAYBE .5 - .75 Oz's. This time my goal it to obtain 4 fems and produce 2 -2.5 ounces of good bud. I truly believe progress is key when developing a strain so lets see where this takes us. Come back soon for updates!
