    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    Although this plant is now roughly manicured, I took a few shots pre-manicure. I'm in a hurry this a.m., but I do have time to throw a few pics up. Enjoy!:peace::blsmoke:

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    I used Miracle Grow potting soil. It has nutes in it that are supposed to last for 90 days. The nutrient level of this soil did get quite depleted the last 3 weeks of the grow, but that is not really a bad thing. Next time I will be adding some sort of diluted blooming nute during flowering...

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    Of all that I have harvested, only about 10 grams was dried and cured properly before smoking. It is a smooth but heavy smoke that combines a piney smell with a slight citrus taste. The high from the early harvest was very heady with lots of giggles. This most recent harvest (just dried so...

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    Last Tuesday evening I harvested one of my plants after 60 days of flowering. The calyxes swole almost looking seeded and the pistils turned brown (80 - 90% of them). The trichs were about 60% amber and 40% milky with a smattering of clear trichs. The plant harvested was the smaller of the two...

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    ... but I got high! It's been a while since I've updated. My life got alot busier last week, but the smaller of my two plants showed itself ready for harvest last Tuesday evening (5 days ago). For a harvest report see my next post. For now, I'd like to talk about the larger plant that is...

    CFL First Timer, check it out

    Hey robbin, looking very nice! I was ready to chop mine last Friday, but I posted some pics in Harvesting and Curing and got some good advice from an experienced grower to wait. You may want to try this. Have you been flowering for 10 weeks or are the plants 10 weeks old total? Do some buds...

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    My original plan was to harvest on Friday, 4/4. I posted a question in Harvesting and Curing, and was advised to wait 5 -10 more days. One plant is about 5 days ahead of the other one. The most recent mini-harvest (4.5 dry grams) is some of the best bud I've ever smoked. I've smoked it with a...

    Popular question: Harvest Time???

    I think I'll probably wait just a bit longer. I can tell a huge difference between the nugs I stole off these last week vs. this week. This weeks' nugs are way better! I'll go ahead and flush them one more time tomorrow morning, and plan on harvesting next week. Thanks for coming by NSW!

    CFL Hydro Grow with pics

    Those look really good zoe! Make sure your lights are as close as the temperature will permit. Side lighting is key for the development of lower bud sites. If you goto page 3 of my grow, you can see my plants at 24 days flowering. I was worried I would end up with dandilion buds too...

    Popular question: Harvest Time???

    I only watered these girls every 7 - 8 days. I just figured I would try and time their last watering for about 7 - 10 days before harvest. I couldn't see a point in harvesting a soggy plant. I'm just going to dry it out anyway, right? This is my first grow, so I'm pretty clueless despite...

    Popular question: Harvest Time???

    Well this has been my first grow. The strain is PPPf from Nirvana. It has been flowering 55 days today. If you would like to check out the grow, check out the link in my signature. If you need some more pictures for reference, you can find them on the later pages of that thread. These...

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    I have 12 42 watt CFLs that includes 9 2700K and 3 6500K. I haven't harvested yet, but I have taken about 19 dry grams off these plants. I'm going to pull the bad leaves today and make the decision on whether or not to harvest tomorrow or flush one more time based on the trichs and any advice...

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    Hey guys these pictures are a day or so old. I took them with the intent of posting them right away, but I'm sure you guys can relate to not getting around to it. Of course it may have something to do with me harvesting about 15 dry grams ( with another 1/8th or so hanging) and being a little...

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    Ugh, that reminds me of my last batch of brownies that were made a tad strong. Me and my buddies were on the porch and it looked like the episode of Family Guy were they all drink ipecac to see who vomits last. Funny chit for sure!

    Do you keep any Blue CFLs going during Flowering?

    I use all blue (6500K) at first. It keeps them nice and tight. Once flowering begins I use mostly red (2700). The ratio is about 3 2700K's for every 1 6500K light. I have no idea if it's correct or not, but based on what I've read it certainly seems like a plausible solution. I'm also...

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    Yeah, he rarely gets into anything, but if some food is left on the countertop and we leave; it is only a matter of time before he figures a way to get what he wants. This isn't the first time he's done this. He actually tore apart my remote control carousel to get to the tiny sack of herb...

    Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

    I have no idea what kind of harvest I can expect. I've harvested a total of about 10 dry grams mostly off one plant. Those were mostly smallish buds. The bulk of the plant is still intact, plus another I haven't touched; so I'm hoping for just under 3 zips. We'll see; any result of good...

    My First Small operation

    XX, do you have a way to check your water's pH? You will be surprised at how little vinegar it takes to drop your pH a bunch. I think I accidentally put twice the vinegar into one of my plant's water (none in the other), and it jacked my pH up bigtime. Just wanted to give you a heads up...
