Week 8 has really fattened up the buds. The house smells lovely and the trichomes are really showing now. The plants really don't seem to need much outside help. I water them daily with the nutrients, check the leaves and buds and put them back in their tent. Snowdawg is on the left...

I didn't get any pictures during week 6 or most of 7. Personal life got a bit crazy and I just didn't get any time other than to water them and continue to move the light up. I can't believe how fast they started growing! By the end of week 7 (week 3 of flowering), I had to start taking them out...

After week 4, I changed the CFL bulbs from daylight to soft white. I also added a timer to the lights so that they would go on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours. I had read all sorts of things about slowly transitioning the times or leaving the plants in the dark for 24 hours, but I didn't do...

By week 4, the plants had really started growing. I was concerned that I would run out of room if I didn't put them into flowering soon. Also by this time, I had received the Neem oil I ordered. It was mixed with a tiny amount of dish soap and water into the sprayer. I used it regularly every...

Around the second to third week, I noticed 2 small spots on the top side of some fan leaves. The spots looked exactly like little drops of flour. After some quick research, I was almost positive the spots were white powdery mildew (the pictures of it did not turn out good enough to post). From...

During week 2, I also added an outside layer of Mylar to the greenhouse to keep as much light in as possible (it was really bright in the house without it at night). The tent/greenhouse ended up looking pretty comical but it seems to be functioning exactly as needed. I used black duct tape on...

I started working on some LST with the plants about week 2 of vegging. I used solid core copper wire that I had on my workbench in order to tie them down. The wire held firm and was very pliable. Using my pocket knife, I was able to poke small holes in the container lip to push the wire through:

So at this point, I'm in for a total of about $45 (2 clones at $20 each and 2 three gallon plastic pots). I let the plants go as is for a few days while I formulated a plan. I already owned a couple 6 inch clip on fans and several hooded lamps. I ordered 2 more fans online and I also bought 4...

Hello everyone. This is my first attempt at growing cannabis. I wanted to try and make it as affordable as possible, yet still be able to enjoy the process. Yield and strength of the flowers have been a secondary goal throughout. I know that sounds crazy but I wanted to understand the plant...
