Enter the noob - First time closet cfl grow

Sup

So today I found out my big plant was male :frowning2: cut him up and threw him out. Damn. So now I just have this month-old in flowering now… aaaaaand it’s looking like a LADY!! Anxious. No pics yet, I wanna super verify and wait for the pistils to show. Hoping to see some development before the end of the week.

For what it’s worth, my current setup:

Bagseed
2 x 23w soft white cfl bulbs (2700k I think, gotta double check )
12/12 2nd week of preflower (just over 5 weeks)
Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil (no nutes, recommend? ) in a 2 gal pot.
About 9" FIM’d once
Root pH about 6.5
Temp 65° F
Not sure about humidity…
Box fan set to low about 5 ft away
Closet space 2 x 2 x 5… really !@#$ing small

Sup. Pics

Just this one now. Taking good care of her



Looking good, I think. Week 1 day 3 flower. Excited for the coming months of development

Sup y’all. Just some more pics. Looking good.



I feel like a proud parent watching her grow into a fine young lady. I think I’ll wait awhile before I post anything else. When the buds really start coming in, that’ll be something to see. Can’t wait. Til then, grow on

It’s hard not to love something you care for! I don’t like my wife’s dog. He’s a rude asshole! But since I’m not working, I take care of him and his bond is with me. :weary: But I love that dog. Not as much as my dog, but I love him.

You can’t help but love these girls of ours!

To future success rates!

Quick update

Started a super skunk from seeds I got here on ILGM. Pics



I think she looks just wonderful, all nice and green and healthy. Just hit her 5th node. Thinking I’ll wait til the 6th or 7th before topping. The big girl is in her 6th week of flowering. I’ll try to post a pic later on, she’s sleeping right now. Grow on, y’all

So here’s big sister (the bagseed). I named her stank lol. The super skunk is named chunk. Anyway this one is about 6 weeks in flower. 2 or 3 more and she’s ready for harvest. So close now! Man I can already taste her… gonna hit up the hydroponics store for some nutes so my little chunky skunk can really blow up. Enough words! Pics




Sooo… I’m thinking she’s just about ready…


Dem trichs be milky yo. I’m gonna test a nug out. See if she’s REALLY really ready. Here’s hoping :sweat_smile::laughing:

Here’s a few pics of my lil chunky skunk. So pretty, check her out


And her undies :yum:


It’s a bit dark, yeah, but at least she’s not embarrassed! :joy::joy: More to come in a few weeks. Bout to harvest Ms. Stinky Bagseed today. I don’t have an electronic scale (or any kind of scale), so I won’t know how much I’m getting. Honestly though, I’m extremely happy with my progress. 6 dead plants, a crappy ass bag of MG, hard un-pH’ed tap water, and tin foil (the hell was i thinking!?) until I finally got it right thank to all of the awesome resources available here at ILGM. But it ain’t over yet. I’ll keep on growing and learning.

That’s all for now, stay frosty, keep blazing, and happy growing!

Also a quick note: light LST for super skunk. I left the other alone with the exception of a single FIM cuz I just wanted to make it to harvest (and I did! Yay me!). This time I wanna get as many colas as I can for more flower sites. Just some bending here and there, maybe a top and we’ll leave it at that. Keep it simple, ya feel? Anyways, I talk too much.

Tin foil is best used for making hats and barbecuing food. Your plant looks great ! :thumbsup:
-good luck

One LAST update. Last one, really, I swear this time.

Ahem…

HARVEST! Not much, as expected. 20 grams wet weight. My fiancee had an electronic scale hidden away somewhere. And lots of trim that I don’t know what to do with. I’m probably going to just scrap it.

Looks as though I had a few slightly underdeveloped buds, but I’m okay with that. Now it’s drying, curing, and then blazing! Thanks for watching! My super skunk is gonna be even bigger and better! :sunglasses:

Butter would be a better option than the trash.

Oh okay. I had such a small plant I didn’t think I could much of anything with all that trim. Plus I’m outta butter til tomorrow lol

Been awhile since my last post. Nothing going on really except this…


A little pruning, lots of TLC… she’s on her way. Expecting to harvest sometime next month maybe. Anyway, that’s all I got for now. Stay frosty, happy growing :sunglasses:

Hey @Moose I read through and just wondering how she turned out.???

It has been a LONG ass since I did anything. For any wondering how this grew turned out, it was awesome. So I’m getting back into the growing groove with 2 seeds germing. I’ll keep it micro to sorta get my feet wet again. Stay tuned, gonna be hitting you all up for advice and reference. Happy growing!
