hello everyone on RIU!

i've spent a lot of time lurking the forums, soaking up everything I need to know for my grow. now i've decide to be brave and post.

i have 3 bag seeds from various good bud i've come across. i've started a collection now. lol i germinated the seeds using damp paper towels in a ziplock bag, all three came out great but were done a couple weeks apart from each other.

i started veg with 2 24w (100 eq.)cfl on 24/0 around 6/18/09

added more lights as the grew(slow as it seemed for a point)

now into the 4th week of flowering. i had a strike of luck and all 3 of my seedlings were female.

well pics are better than words so...(any suggestions, cc ,etc. is welcomed this is my first grow and im not easily offended. Im here to learn)


still a noob i'll post more pics when i can really get the hang of this

set up changes yet again.

the stage of them in the last few pics is when i started to use big bloom. seems to be helping

* forgot to note that i was away alot during veg and my mom added the nute balls. i have since then taken them out

Nirvana is good for beginners. They have some pretty good F1 hybrids that are real cheap. Of course, you will produce different phenotypes, but it's all good and fun.

Youre gonna love it in Amsterdam! I stayed in a place called Utrecht for quite some time, I never wanted to come back, lol. Anyhow, I was wondering the breakdown on your lighting, kelvin wise that is, do you have some 2700k in there for your flowering? Thats the spectrum they use best for denser nugs.

Looks really good man. I'm still new to the whole thing.... but i would recommend moving your lights far closer. Looks like your losing a lot of lumens with that distance. And position them all around the bud sites. Will plump up the buds :clap:

Yeah, the closer you have the lights to the bud sites the better, they will be more compact and dense. Further out will cause you to have really loose nugs.

Oh and I wish I had brought back some seeds now, but back then I wasnt even thinking about it. Didnt grow or think that I ever would.
