hello all!, after a bad grow, i figured i would come on here, show you what i did, maybe help others?
The reason im here is i no longer will grow, due to the fact its Hard. for seasoned growers, they will laugh at that, but a first timer is a hassle, to me anyways.
ill post pics.
i started 2 strains, from seeds i was lucky enough to get from Cheese, and what they called tootsie roll? All medical grade bud, grown for a dispen, i guess it happens? i used fox farm happy grow, and ro water.
I started the grown in a 100 degree room. First mistake, but i figured i would atleast try. i got the space to about 90-93f for most of the 18 on, 6 off. i used Cree brand 60 watt led bulbs, cool light, 800 lum. 1 bulb over one seedling, 2 over the other.
i would try to add 100 wt cfl bulbs, but the temps got crazy high, so i pretty much veged them for around a month, way short, but i had no idea on Height, how wide would the thing get, odor, was a major issue, as i needed a stealth space with little if any chance anyone would see it, hear it or smell it.
the plants showed sex, the cheese was a female! the other a male. i had topped the plants early, and didn't get it right on the cheese, but did on tootsie. figures?
after that i messed around with adding more lights, got rid of the shitty led's, and went with cfl's, it started to cool down nice at night, so i could use them, heat wasn't an issues at this point.total light for about a month was 6 100wt cfl's, 26 actual watt's used, and a 300 watt giant cfl bulb . & total bulbs, in a space, approx, 3wx3hx2.
ill get in to the grow more, and like i said post some pics. long story short, i spent around 100.dollars, and ended up with about 8 grms of bud, and around 6 grams of trim, shitty i know!
