Started two clones from mother I grew outdoors last summer. Decent grow even with lots of mistakes until I found someone to help sort good advice from the BS. Just switched from T-12 with supplemental CFL and just started running Kind LED K5 1000 a week ago today with huge improvements over tube lighting. Also struggled with cold issues (basement grow in New England), which stunted growth briefly and now using portable oil heater with improvement. Temps stay at 68 -70 at night and 73-75 during day, now. Room was sealed heavily (original intent by previous owner was to build wine storage room so most of work was done - nice selling point as well) and then painted with dead flat white paint top to bottom. Security locking door installed, as well as an inest, which alerts your smartphone if there is fire or rising carbon monoxide levels- I highly recommend it.
The two clones are 3 weeks into flower. Just noticed trichome development this morning and it's already greater than the outdoor plant- they are definitely growing different in their different environments. Pistil tips are turning bright orange and I'm slightly concerned the light may be too strong? But then again, even the bud development is way different indoors and they have been growing completely screwey since they rooted- one was taken at one week of flowering and the other was taken at three. Outdoors, she flowered for
13-14 weeks if I remember correctly - maybe the stress of my mistakes caused the delay in finishing- trust me, there were a lot of mistakes.... I even clothes lined the mother on a tree branch while I was running with the pot ( she was about 7 feet) headed for the woods after I smoked too much, got paranoid and thought the plane that had flewn over head was on to my pathetic one-plant operation; she was fine. The two smaller plants were started from seed and are 4 weeks tomorrow. These are not from feminized seeds (bag seed that was great!) and I'm still waiting for sex. All in all I'm happy with what is being produced. Just trying to sort out my issues with growing inconsistencies while learning the basics and beyond so that in one or two grows from now, I'll be self reliant and growing awesome quality bud.
Still waiting on a couple items (to get pails off floor, considering two more 600 watt leds for each end of room with some overlap, and finally purchase seeds instead of using bag seed). Room is around 11X7.5 so I feel like I could be using space better. Electrical looks a bit squirrely right now but the light is being safely run to outside separate circuit breaker (remember - wine room). Im waiting on electrician to complete the proper wiring set up but because I am relying on family to help, I have to wait a bit longer as he is out straight with higher paying work.
Until then ...
