My first real grow, and first cfl grow:)

I got a couple seedlings in a soilless mix. I'm going to transplant them to coco if they turn female.
My 12/12 from seed is getting nice hard buds, and should be ready in 4-5 weeks.

Shit, must be nice to have room to do more than one light schedule at once.:-|
I got my other closet still set up from vegging the plant I just harvested, but my seedlings are on 12/12 from seed.
I'll veg feminized seeds when I get some. I'll be switching to hps soon.

love ur thread man !
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it!
I almost didn't bother to make one, but glad I did. I'll have something to look back on I guess, and others can have a look if they are thinking of using CFL's.
If it weren't for CFL's being so easy to get, I'd still be wasting money on grass, and still sitting here thinking about growing my own. I will never look at a CFL bulb like any other person I know. haha

The last 3 times I've gone to the grocery store they had 55w 2700k CFL's normally 17.99 on sale for .99!!!! They only have 3 out at a time :( I know cuz I asked the manager if I could buy more and he said it's a 3 maximum thing. Bud damn what a deal!!! Register said like 56 bucks...then I swiped the good ole discount card...and BAM...3.15! LOL!

Needless to say I skip outta there like a little kid leaving a candy shop with 100pcs of penny candy :) So keep your eyes out for sales :)

What store?
I familiar with Cali stores being as I come from there, but we only have some of them here, LOL
Even Best Foods Mayo is now Hellmann's.
Took me a while to get used to, even once I remembered.
When I was in Cali, I never thought I would need to know Hellmann's was the same, just East of the Rockies.:shock:
Took me over a year, actually my son told me that Hardee's is the same as Carl's Jr.
I didn't even think about it until I looked at the logo.
Do you know how many of the Jalapeno burgers I coulda had before they quit making them had I known that?

It's been a while so I figure I will post a couple pics of my 12/12 from seeds.
My bigger plant is 6 weeks since first pistil showed, and I think the LST/12/12 from seed slowed flowering down.
She probably has four weeks left, and the buds are starting to grow pretty fast now.

I've been working too much, and don't have much time with them.

My seedlings are about 10 days old.

Thanks Bill, and we have the same cool name. lol
I am going to upgrade to HID for sure, but not for a couple weeks. I'll be getting a 400 watt that's dimmable, with cool tube.

Can you toss up some pics of your manicured grass p0c?
I will post some pics up in a little bit.

I've been told OVER and OVER again to bypass the 400w and go for the 600w dimmable.
PM Somebeech about it! Just my 2cents boss!
And cool in regards to the pics. I been waiting to see what they've turned out like for a while now haha.
Pardon my patience, or lack there of brother :leaf:
