hey guys, just want to firstly say hello. I've been growing now since the start of this year and this website has been a source for a lot of my searching for information and why I chose this forum over others. I had four bag seeds I've saved over time (not a frequent smoker anymore) and I decided to experiment. On January 5th, 3 out of 4 seeds germinated and I got them into some crappy soil the wife had around the house. 4 small CFL's and quite some time later I chose to transplant into some 2.5 Qt Hempy buckets. For my first grow I have let those 3 grow in those 2.5 Qt buckets just to get my feet wet. I am now 6-7 weeks deep into flowering and buds are starting to fatten up. Three plants are definitely under minimal light. I have 3 flood light styled CFL lights now for the plants under 12/12. This is all ancexperiment for me and if I get an ounce in the end then I view it as a success. Tomorrow I will get some photos of my grow closet. I've utilized some heavy defoliation techniques and LST on 2/3 plants and they have some great results. From the plant that I think grew the best, I have taken 2 clones that started with better lighting and hempy buckets from the get go with some test results. I hope I surprise some people with my first-timer results and very low cost grow set up. I know a larger investment would have resulted in a much better end result, but I was recently laid off and money has been tight. In fact, I haven't even smoked for about 6 months now! Hopefully future employment will be relaxed as far as drug testing and I can try these girls out. Thanks for reading my saga if you've made it this far. Very happy to share my grow and pictures to come tomorrow.
