I have been experimenting for the last 4 or 5 years before I discovered this site. What I am up to now is shooting for a perpetual grow that will keep me smiling the whole year.
I have to admit I haven't spent the money that some have on my grows, but then again, I'm not doing this for anyone but me. I started this year off way behind schedule because of my older brother's stroke, but now that he seems to be functioning at 95% I can proceed.
What I started the year off with was two clones of last years girls. They went outside sometime in April.
After they were established outside I took 4 clones of those plants. (this makes 5 generations) I have two closets, one for bloom, one for veg
This is a picture from the original mother (three years ago) in bloom.
I also purchased 2 clones from a local compassion club and have taken them to the flowering stage.
We had a severe thunderstorm here that blew over my two girls outside..It looked as if I was going to lose the one on the right, but with nutes packed in the soil around the base seemed to bring it back although the yield looks to be diminished.
I also planted a seed in a separate planter that has turned female and growing like a weed
I decided to LST it and what is happening is ONE PLANT is filling the space where I used to grow three!
I also transplanted three of my four remaining clones I got off the outside plants back outside to go to flower and the largest of the four I am starting my first indoor LST experiment.
I will be updating this from here on and look forward to any comments or suggestions any of you experienced growers might have.
BTW I have been using GH nutes Grow/ Bloom and some nute packages that came with my air ponics set-up. I think I will be making the switch to Blue Planet 3 part system with their bloom booster on my next experiments...I am also using high output CFLs in both closets ( A multi-purpose variety of light spectrums includes one 30K Spiral, one 41K Spiral and one 50K Tube style bulb. 17,000 lumens!).. Going to switch to an LED panel for the bloom closet as soon as I can find the size and price I can afford. I will continue to use T50 for cloning and Multi-spectrum CFLs for my veg closet.

I am giving her BPN and GH nutes also. As soon as the GH nutes are gone, they're gone! From viewing other peoples posts I am convinced about BPN. I'll post more progress pics when I see significant change. Inside the LST that I cloned fom last years mother is starting to show lots of new growth! I wish I had tried this sooner! THANKS FOR MAKING ME FEEL WELCOME HERE!
I also revamped my bloom closet until I can afford the tent I want for blooming. I hung mylar on the walls, lined the catch pan, and added mylar to my 3 cfl bulb reflector (it was just galvanized metal and NOT very reflective) They rate it at 17,000 lumens, maybe now but NOT before ....I'm still learning this indoor stuff and have a ways to go, but if you don't learn something new every day, you might as well be dead!
