Hey everyone, Im from Ireland
Decided that im sick of payin for bad weed and worse hash,
Have tried with 3 bagseed on a windowsill before and got them up to about
a foot before a noise complaint from the gardai (police) while drunk caused paranoia, so they were slaughtered.

Got some seeds in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago, Barneys Farm Top Dawg (Fem)
Got the feminized cos I only want to grow one at a time.
Germinated in about 2 days, took about 2 more to break soil (Feb 2). Was using a Gu10 bulb in a flexi downlight for a few days, then ordered a eightyfive watt cfl of fleabay, have her under that since it landed on monday. its started its third node yesterday, very lanky at the moment with a weak enough stem so going to cover it up to about a cm below the round baby leaves tomorrow, will take pics of before and after, have only taken ones on my phone at this stage, dont think there would be any point in posting them,
Going to build a panel box in my wardrobe, think 3ft x 2ft x 2ft??? Pc fan venting out of the growbox through the side of the wardrobe through an activated charcoal fiter from maplin, anything i missed?? Love the forum guys. really good layout with massive amounts of detailed info from experienced growers,

Got some pics today, topped up the pot with soil to below the round leaves, didnt get pics from before tho, sorry, have her in a pot thats about a litre and a half, leaves got much bigger since bringing the soil level up and have changed to 24hrs of light, leaves have turned down a bit and discoloured in the last few days but are still growing, had her bout 2 to 3 inches below my big cfl. so moved the light up to four or five inches above today. i used a very light nute soloution of a generic 8/8/8 nute, so wondering if this has caused my leaves to turn down and discolour.
flushed earlier with tap water to remove any problem causing nutes, hopefully:wall:

hey guys, got some iguana grow nutes of a friend during the week and got some really good growth in the last couple of days, not gotten too tall but up to five nodes and some new shoots between lower leaves and the centre stem. Please leave some feedback
some pics100_3916.jpg100_3913.jpg100_3911.jpg100_3922.jpg100_3915.jpg100_3924.jpg

And then tragedy struck later on the night (19th) i took the above photos.
my light slipped down and was sitting on the top of the top node, caused some light scorching on the node and some surrounding foliage,
Taken tonight 22nd

Dont think that theres too much burn as the rest of the plant has continued to grow,
Also changed into a bigger pot, when i was at that i decided to try lsting it a bit,

just an update after my lst. Very happy with how it went,
She has started a new main stem at the 2nd node after pinning it from between the
4th and fifth nodes. The original main stem has grown another 3 nodes and is starting to
turn back up towards the light, even stronger than before it was burned by the light,
She has put out new shoots in all areas. so i have tied two of the damaged fan leaves down to give more light to the new shoots, hopefully it will force the leaves to grow out further and stay low to catch the last of the light,.
