Desk grow CFL conversion after 1 month plus modifications and I recently created a calendar for nutrients, pesticide and growth period.

Very nice, minimalist but effective and of course you already know with cfl's the closer the better I trust.

You mentioned you are also growing for another patient? Everyone is broke right now, so to help offset costs of nutrients for the patients I help out I gladly accept can's. :) yes it takes a lot of aluminum to get enough money for a bottle of FF but hey anything helps. And thankfully at this point in time I am only working with one patient and she makes a decent income so she buys all her own nutrients, new bulbs all the monetary stuff and I just have been doing labor as her wheelchair makes it difficult to maintain the system she owns, and she doesn't know how to maintain the system even if it was easier to work with.

Once again nice looking plants, nice budget grow so far will enjoy the development.

I want my CFLs closer, but like I said before, I will be improving with time. I know about the closeness possible, 2cm-4cm is what I've heard is possible. I know they wont burn unless they actually touch, I hope to get closer on my next turn.

As for the other patient, we are a couple with different illnesses as well as one shared illness. We live together and share responsibility with the grow, I am just the one more involved with the internet and with the actual grow maintenance since I work less than she does. It's going good, my 1st grow (outdoor) as a very big success, medicinal quality outdoor UK Cheese and Trainwreck with a mild Strawberry Diesel.

I just got a good review tonight from my friends with more grow experience and knowledge, so I'm happy with my progress.

btw Good luck with your patient, sometimes certain people simply cannot grow. Everyone has their talents, and mine is not gardening or building, but I've had help and that is the important part in cannabis cultivation, to be responsible to the overall culture and your community.

I don't really think it's that many. Got 10 total and I still have some space, but I was thinking of transplanting the last 4 tonight, so we'll see. I've been told by fellow growers who have seen it in person that it's fine. I've also seen some grows that have plants much closer to each other and larger. If they do not fit, I guess you could say my plan B is to throw some outdoors, which I already planned on doing anyways. I have 3 Green Cracks which are the largest in the pics, so one of those and maybe another.

You hit three of my favs with Blue Dream, Green Crack and Strawberry Cough.

BD is my all-time favorite strain, so I'm pulling up a chair for this one

Well, I finally transplanted the Blue Dream, the other Strawberry cough, Headband and a mystery plant last night. Flowering should begin in about a week once the new transplants take well enough. Stay tuned for some pics tonight and many more to come once flowering starts. Thanks for following.

Not sure if someone mentioned it before, but I already planned on getting different fans because of my CFM being under 17, but I didn't even think of the LEDs when I bought them. Either way, they're getting replaced. I have mentioned before that this box will only be improved upon, but thanks for pointing it out. Will do!

I got a few people in my circle who love Blue Dream, but I just can't get on board. I love the taste, but for some reason no matter where I get it from, it does nothing to me. I use medical cannabis multiple times daily, but BD is more of a relaxer, it doesn't ease my pain or get me high. I'm sure I'll enjoy it plenty when it's done, but I can't get behind it enough to grow again. Strawberry Cough and Green Crack on the other hand, decided to keep going with clones, so I'll have indoor and outdoor of both soon! I will make sure labels are legible in future pics for ya though.
