Hello 420 folks. This grow started with one seed in a bag a friend had given me. I took the seed out and put it on my desk. After looking at it for several days, I thought, why not? I put the seed in a cup of old potting soil that had been on the back porch for about 10 years, watered it, and put it in a window. 2 or 3 days later...
After a little over a week of watching it grow, I suddenly realized that I had no knowledge of how to grow cannabis... none at all! Zero! Nothing! So, I watched a few videos and read a few articles on various web sites and tried to learn all I could. I bought a 2' x 4' x 5' tent, an LED light that drew about 90 watts from the wall, and an exhaust fan with a charcoal filter.
Since my light wasn't very good, I would take it outside during the mornings to give it some good sun. Then bring it back in when the temp would start getting too hot.
Around the time of that last picture is when I joined 420magazine.com. And within a day or two, I flipped the lights to 12/12. Was planning to start a grow log for the bloom cycle so I could get the help I desperately needed, but then about 3 or 4 days after flipping the lights...
Surprise! It's a boy! For some reason, I didn't take any pictures after that point, but I let him make pollen that I collected and saved.
A short while later, that same friend sent me some of her old bag seeds and I was able to get 3 of them to sprout. As they grew, a few clones were taken and I was able to get a 4th seedling started.
Then the 3 biggest plants from seed were put under 12/12 light, and about a week later number 1 was finally showing sex...
Yep, another boy! Then number 3 showed sex... another boy. I already had 2 or 3 clones of each of the boys in soil and growing well. All in all, a very good learning experience. But then finally, number 3 showed sex and I got to see my first female cannabis plant in person.
Probably should have let her get a bit bigger.
