Good day fellow smokers,
after having documented my 2nd outdoor grow last year, i decided that summer alone will not be enough growing time and hence started some indoor experiments in November last year. I started out with a 25w CFL for the seedlings and slowly made my way to 100w with 2 lamps. not nearly enough but since i havent got any better equipment yet and not particular in a hurry, i just kept vegging them until now, which is a good 3 months, i reckon. obviously things have gone quite slowly, but nevertheless im surprised that these plants are growing after all, with such little lights.
i have got a 600w hps waiting to be setup for the flowering, or when the ordered tent arrives.
notes to the plants:
critical jack: popped 1 seed, got 2 seedlings out of it. has been doing very nicely, especially in contrast to the mold issues the other 2 had/have.
white whidow: was the slowest to start with but has since picked up some speed. unfortunately, dealing with some mold issues. will have to properly spray them with some organic fungicide a good amount of time before flipping to 12/12.
connie chung: was a freebie and the oldest out of them all. grew very quickly in the beginning and still has got the biggest stem. but growth has slowed down considerably since the topping about 2-3 weeks ago.
setup: spare room with 1 window, bad air circulation and cat toilet in the same room. i live at the coast side, hence quite humid air, but never really getting below 0 celsius. i know, it is quite cold for them but i havent bothered dealing with it, since im gonna setup the 600w relatively soonish, which should provide enough heat. atm ive got one ventilator on the plants. still need to fix this better as well.
in any case, since im very much still new to this and lack essential DIY skills, im open to any suggestions and constructive criticism. other then that, hope you enjoy the ride, as i am
some pictures:
oct 13th: here we've got the beginning. from left to right: connie chung, two little ones is the critical jack, big one was apparently a seed from jamaica, a friend gave me, and the white whidow on the very right.
dec 17th: the two critical jacks coming along nicely. the connie chung and white widow on the bottom. connie chung has some ridiculously big fan leaves. had to cut a couple for better penetration reasons. same with most of the. snip snap. dont mind me. as you might have noticed i managed to put a reflector somehow on top for a couple of weeks. had to re-arrange it recently though.
dec 27th: connie chung in front, white widow in the back, some bag seed seedling. i think i topped them around this time. and the critical jacks: all togeter + little bit of the setup:
12th jan: little jungle in there:
14th jan: more crappy setup fails: wip:
21st jan:
thats it for now. im expecting the tent to arrive this week. will update again when ive got it setup.
until then...

i realized my stupidity and went to get some neem oil. sprayed them twice so far and barely any mold issues left, if at all.
i started two more freebies last night. dinafem auto haze and g13s sour ak. anyone got any experience with either of them?
