Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

Yes email, it was done 100% with CFL's. Once dried, if you put these buds next to some you bought from dealer around here; there would be little to clue you in that these are grown under CFLs. EDIT: Except of course they are more potent, a gram is actually gram, and they are way more fresh.

I will probably do one more grow with CFLs and experiment with cloning as well as some other techniques. I'd like to put something together that would get about 8 - 10 ounces with only minor light and supply additions. I've got some ideas, but they will have to wait. I've got family visiting this summer, otherwise I would start it now. Regardless of the success with CFLs, when I move in 11 months my next house will likely have a HID setup. I just need a place to set it up properly.

Thanks for stopping by email!
My pleasure. I LOVE to see awesome CFL grows.

poppinsmokey i have just finished reading this whole thread and congratulations on the potent bud!.
Ill be starting my first grow very soon but i have one question, you said that you used MG for soil and it realeses nutris over a 90day period?
anyway did u just let the soil do all the nutri work or did you help feed the plants aswell?

Your an inspiration to all CFL growers out there! peace

Well the buds are dry and weight is in a 57 grams. That brings the total for this harvest to 127.8 grams! That exceeded all my expectations. Everything is in jars are curing with one of the jars being the stash I'm smoking out of while the rest cures more properly.

Thank you Garden Knowm for putting "Buds for Less" out there for us to have something to base our grow on. Thanks to all that stopped by this grow offering support and encouragement. Thank you nowstopwhining for talking me out of harvesting early (I still may have been a bit early :mrgreen:). I'm going to go have my Saturday morning smoke now :blsmoke::peace:...

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that against my better judgement I allowed my wife to make a mold of my member to fashion a cake after for a dildo party. The evidence is below :hump:

hey there poppin, i've been keeping up with your grow and congrats on the outcome. badass harvest. I'm going through the same setup but was wondering if you ever experienced small bugs with MG soil. I hear the MG soil was filled with lil bugs but they were nothing to worry about.

I didn't get any buds in my soil. They are still curing. I was blessed with some very low humidity during drying. It took about 5 full days to dry before putting the buds into jars to cure.

thanks for that poppin, gives me an idea of how long to hang mine for :joint:

have u started smoking the bud yet or are u still letting it cure then smoke?

Mine hung in an environment that was 70 degrees and and 35% humidity. I would imagine that 60% humidity would add a couple of days.

Thanks for stopping by GK! Keep up the good work.

Damn son, you did OVER a QP with CFL'S??.

Nice fucking job!

I'm going to make my own cab and use 4" pots and flower at 4-6".

Then I'll start my own journal.

Kudos again man!

so what was your final number on how many lights you had to use?
Started with 2, went to 4, onto 8, upto 13 (unmanagable with current setup), finished with 10 for the final 3 weeks or so. I have 14 42 watters. My next CFL grow, and possibly my last (goodbye apartment living!); I'm going to try and use these same lights to pull 8 - 10 ozs.
