Hello I'm in the mood to start documenting my first indoor cfl grow. Mostly because my buddy thought it was fucking ghetto and it won't make shit but I just wanna prove that I can make a few good buds in 2 months for under 20 bucks. The most expensive part of this whole grow for me was the blackstrap mollasses I got. I've been using it most the grow. Been LST it and attempted to fim ended up just topping it but its all good. I vegged it for 3 weeks and its in its 5th day of 12/12. I'll post pics every couple days to show the progress.

Pic 1: What I believe is some bud starting purply white hairs
Pic 2: The ghetto rig :eyesmoke:
Pic 3: pretty much dead center you might be able to see it this is where I'm confused are those preflowers or is this mofo a male or hermi?

Sorry btw all the pics are sideways cuz my cell phone is gay Ima try to use a camera next time to get better pics. pcebongsmilie

Oh yeah strain is Maine Greenbud from a hippy festival. And soil is Miracle grow oraganics mixed 50/50 with compost and 2 of those miracle grow feeding stick things which I regret putting it in there. The shits got crispy wierd looking leaves.
 
for a ghetto grow it looks alright i guess, but since molasses was the most you spent money on what can you expect.
it might have just been cheaper to buy a dub of some reggie and you would prolly get more.
 
looks like a girl, but the pics aren't that great. the leaves are looking droopy and sad. could be a little overwatered, does the pb jar have any drainage?
 
Yeah it has plenty of drainage like 12 holes. And there all droopy and sad cuz they have nitrogen toxicity I think. I have 2 of the miracle grow feed sticks in that little bottle. (big mistake) and I think its a hermi its got 6 tops with tiny buds with balls coming out of it. I'll get detailed pics tommorow.

And yeah greenbuds my favorite shit to get around here. I occasionally take trips to maine to pick up a zip. The harvest latley has been delicious.
 
Yeah so it was most def a male so I decided to cut that shit down and turn it into tea. Last male I had I turned it into brownies with slight effect. So I'll see how I can do with male pot tea. I'll report on it here I'm also gunna be brining in my only female that I planted way to late in its got two long branches and 2 mild sized buds. Its a silly looking plant I'll post pics of it tommorow when I bring it in.

PCE STAY HIGHbongsmilie

thc is not water soluble man lol I don't think your tea is going to work

Allready know that dude thats why I boil it in a 50/50 milk water mixture works the nuts with nugs n stems. It gets mild results with just a tea bag full of stems thats only good if ur jonesn.

Teas my preffered method to take any drug and I've sorta mastered making delicious psychoactive teas.
 
Okay so male leaf tea taste like ball sack and does not get you high what so ever. No need to report on it at all. Good news though even though my late outdo plant got a frost or two its still good I decided to bring it in. I'm gunna flower it for a couple weeks so the buds can get some mass on. 2/3 plants I've attempted this year have been male. At least I'll get some smoke before christmas lol. I'll keep updating pics on this.

I think this plant looks funny just two long tops from topping it way to early but I like it and i works lol. Ima smoke a bowl now pce

Oh yeah strains still the same Maine greenbud. I can't wait to smoke this shit. I'm most def gunna be patient with this let it grow out n not pinch it. I got enough smoke to last me I think... hopefully.
 
Wow feeling the love with the none replys n shit. haha

I got some new pictures been notice crystals all over the bud area latley thought that ussually didn't happen late into budding. I also got some under bud growth going. I think it was the addition of the 3rd light, that lights the under canopy, initiated the budding underneath or something like that. Buds have had a big change in size in 6 days. They are a fat bowl pack each and growing steadily. If you zoom into some of the pics u can notice the crystals I spoke of u may even be able to see them without zooming.

Replys are welcome don't feel shy

PCE update again in a few

That particular plant veg for like 2 1/2 months or so but it got very stressed out when I butchered it (first attempt ever at topping and FIMming). It was in the same pot as another plant early in life also it was the runt. I transplanted it and it got stressed again. It grew very slow and when the season changed it didn't initiate budding took me a few weeks to realize my neighbors spotlight at night was shining straight on it. So I threw it behind my shed a week before I brought it in and it initiated budding within a day or 2. Anyway its been budding for 3 weeks and a day it had lower branches too but I chopped those going for a dual-lolipop kinda thing.

As for the lights I got 2 26w 2700k and 1 13 w 2700k I'm getting a bigger one to replace the 13 some time this weeks. So combined wattage of 65 lol I know its pitiful but dude its mos def getting the job done.

yeah need better lights i got 5 2x26 1x25 1x23 and 1x13 all 2700k even vegged with them. had 2 plants 1 maled and the other is day 3 flowering so 1 plant 113 watts cfl
 
I got a brand new bulb to replace the smaller one its a 26w daylight mix up the spectrum some and up'd the wattage. Did the math the lumens are somewhere in the 4000's. I'm wicked high right now I'll post some pics of the new lights n shit and some other fun shit later in the day.

pce
 
Gut some pics up of the new light and new bud growth.

Comments are encouraged.

Got a question though. I put two pics up of the leaves my lower leaves are turning a shitty yellow color but my upper leaves are a nice green still. I was wondering if it was a deficiency or just comes along with the flowering? Someone please help + rep for help. The buds have swelled since I gave it it's last dose of molasses. And I've gotten 2 more bud sites with many hairs have shot out too. I'm getting more and more optimistic about this grow everyday.

Oh yeah and pics of my kitty (Buffy) lol. Im high and feeling like putting up pics of my cat.
