Hi everyone! I am new to the site but have been studying/lurking/learning from it for about 6 months. My growing experience consists of bagseed, back in high school, out in the woods. Looking back, I did pretty well with it and only harvested major buds so I had a few plants that lasted a couple years (termed regeneration now). Well... until they tore down the woods and developed the land with cookie cutter housing.
I am one of those that probably have more fun growing than smoking it. My first and current indoor grow started at the end of October with a purchase of 5 Buddah, Feminized, AutoFlowering White Dwarf seeds. I germinated with the paper towel in the window method and three days later, planted them in dixie cups using Miracle grow moisture control soil. Yes, it is the fertilized stuff and I know that makes a lot of you cringe. I'll get fancier with future grows.
2 weeks into the grow, I had to leave town for a week and had my brother watch my house and girls. Unfortunately, one baby died, so now I have 4 in their flowering stage as of this post. I started with 3 grow sticks, from Walmart, and only put them under a 400watt HPS about 2 weeks ago. I am sure I would be harvesting by now had I gone with recommended lighting but I am not in a hurry.
I have slowly gathered up equipment over the last 2 months and I am feeling comfortable now with my setup. Although, there is always new stuff to add to the environment and that's what makes it fun for me. I have been taking pics along the way but have not been keeping a very good log which is why I joined this site... to keep a better log and for the entertainment of others.
I will post pics when I get them uploaded to a proper online image stor
Thanks for all the great info you all provide here!
