hahaha yep smoking is fun, but growing is ADDICTING! Especially when you've got real nice plants like you do. I don't know how many hours I've spent in my tents over the last 18 months....my girlfriend would probably have an answer though hahaha. And I recommend a chair....much easier on the back!

haha hollyoaks is a programme like a kinda soap thing , and i was reading through a few LED grows with area 51 and blackdog LED's i was more thinking for the energy cost as i plan on going long term with growing so maybe over the years ill save a few pennies , and about the clone thing i aint sure how to clone as its my first grow i wanted to do more of a trail and error then further into my growing days i look into cloneing and breeding but i want to try 2 different strains on my next run im going with AK-47 from serious seeds & SUPER SILVER HAZE from Mr Nice ive read good reviews about both of these breeders , thanks for the comments guys

Is anyone spreading this dude any rep? Great job man, + rep for your first grow doing so well.

How many plants are you running under the 1200 watts?

Nice, yeah you should definitely come up with a nice gram per watt ratio. My first run was .56 but I'm hoping to more than double that with my second big harvest. Although technically, there was one plant in the middle that vegged mostly with the first run but it finished by itself so I don't really count it.

I'm running 1100 watts (thousand watt ballast with a turbo setting) and I have 9 plants underneath it, but one was bagseed and is a waste of space, it'll probably only yield 2-3 ounces after a 2 month. veg. I would've been better off with just 8 plants and opening the other 4 (soil plants; 5 were soil and 4 in the back are aeroponic) up so they could get better light penetration.

My buddy started 4 little shittt plants claiming they were "ak 47 seeds from online" but he's had the seeds for years and never grown in his life. He put the four seeds in his window sill and let them get nice and stretched out, and then gave them to me.

At first he didn't say anything, just "take them". After I put them in my tent and veg them for a little while he's like "yeah, just give me some bud back to pay me for those or whatever".

Out of the 4, 2 were male and the other two hermied up and pollinated my crop. Not bad, but still a seed per quarter ounce I'd say. And like I said, the space would've been better served by giving my other plants more light, or running one of the seeds in my closet that I'm DYING to pop. I'll never make that mistake again.
