Hey guys, this is my first grow and I was in a bit of a rush to get started because I'm a very keen person who loves to learn as much as possible to do with the things I love.
At first, the idea to start growing my own weed basically originated for the same purpose that it does with most other people, obviously to grow, harvest and smoke my very own, home grown bud.
As I started looking into what would be required and how I was going to do things, i started reading hours and hours worth of threads, articles, books and guides.
I learnt a lot, and in the process of doing all this research, not only did my desire to start a grow become stronger than ever, my motives did also. Especially when I germinated 5 seeds successfully in 48 hours, it was the biggest sense of accomplishment and harvest time hasn't even arrived yet!
I always knew money would be a problem for me, and that I would not be able to afford everything that was needed. I looked into heaps of DIY projects and the cheaper ways to grow our beloved Mary Jane. Lucky for me, one of my other hobbies that I feel very strongly about is fish and aquariums! I looked around in my old supplies for some extra lights I could use (at this point I knew I would be doing a semi-stealth CFL indoor set up) and I found 2 small CFL aquarium lights.
These lights are no where near adequate enough to suffice for the whole grow, obviously. I am using them for the initial seedling stage while I go out and shop for some proper CFL bulbs, and from that point I'll be making my own ballast for it, as well as anything else needed.
Anyway, starting my own grow really transformed this from a mere desire for bud into a proper hobby for me.
Now that my ramble is over, here come the pics!!
Not sure on the strain, just some bagseed that another member on the forum very kindly sent to me to start my first grow with. I also have some other seeds my uncle gave me which I am yet to recieve details on, but I will probably use for my second grow.
They are coming to the end of day 5 and these pics were taken about 45 minutes ago. I currently have them on 24/0 and I'm following a growing guide atm. The guide flowers their plants at day 16 but I probably won't do this because a) The strains used in the guide are known and are indica dominant. b) I want to allow for some extra veg time to allow the plants to catch up to where they should be due to the crappy lights being used atm.
I like to think they are doing alright considering the available light.
Appoligies for the appauling camera quality, the pictures were taken on a video camera and the lights made the colour turn out all wierd.
Enjoy!
