Hey guys, I've been reading the forums like crazy for a few days now and thought I'd start my own journal. This is my first ever grow, and it really wasn't suppose to be a full blown grow but reading more and more thought I'd take a shot at it.
So basically my wife and I hadn't smoked a couple years (I grew up in Vancouver, miss that stuff), and I came across a bag at work with about 5 decent nugs (amazing what some people drop) which I brought home and we smoked over the course of a couple weeks. Not bad stuff, not great either but it didn't suck. So from laying in bed and rolling the last joint, I had a few seeds left over on the night stand. What the hell, I'll throw them in the pot downstairs where my wife killed the strawberry plant. Took the dead shit out of the planter, made a 1/2 inch divet in the moist soil in 3 different spots and dropped in the seeds and left the pot on the window sill.
Well fuck, those seeds actually germinated and sprouted up. So that got me thinking how far I could take this. Should I just hide them outside...nah, lets see how far I can go in the window sill. And that was about 4 or 5 days ago, and since then just been reading shit tons online. The pic below is the current progress, and as of yesterday I carefully transplanted 2 into their own pots with some Miracle Grow (I know, I know).
So they will be in the window sill till I get my CFL closet grow up. I have a small 2.5 x 3.5 x 8 ft closet in a spare room that is empty. I actually have several mylar blankets which I'll pad the closet with and will be hanging CFLs off an extension cord(s) that will hang down from the shelf built into the closet. Probably just a desktop fan or two to move some air around, and obviously while I check in here will tweak this as I go.
My biggest problem I'm facing soon is that I have a week long vacation coming up and I don't feel comfortable leaving CFL's on a timer in a closet while I'm away long periods. Given their current stage, I'm thinking of leaving the pots freshly watered just before I leave sitting on paper towels (as they are now) and wicking some water into them and then when I get back it will be into the closet setup.
Would love any and all feedback, as this was just a fun hobby and I'm not caring if the yield is amazing, I'd just be happy if after planting 3 bag seeds I get one female flowered in 3 months and I can smoke a few joints off it. I'm not going to go out of my way to build anything spectacular, but I'm looking forward to keeping this journal running now.
It Begins:
