Hello rollitup crowd, I'm a first time grower, I've spent a good few years reading up on the subject before starting and I'm currently at day 28 of the flowering stage in my first grow op. I have followed links to this site but never seen all the info I needed since I wasn't a member or signed up even. I'm looking to become a member so I can gain more knowledge and hopfully, contribute in some way too. I was on a tight budget building my grow room and so it is always changing, usually for the better. Here's what I have...

Dr Kripplings The Incredible Bulk Feminized seeds.

Genetics: Big Bud/Super Skunk/Green Spirit
Type: 80% Indica / 20% Sativa
Flowering Time: 7-8 Weeks
Yield: Indoors 600-1000 gr/m2, Outdoors 800-1500 gr
THC Content: 20 - 24%

Lights: 8x 150w Hps flood lights, 8x 24w Cree Led strip light.

Biobizz All mix soil

Nutrients: Biobizz Grow, Bloom, Growth Tech Liquid Silicon, Plantmagic Cal/Mag

Pots: starting in Biodegradable pots, then 2 litre, then 15 litre.

Ventilation: 5 inch large carbon filter, 5 inch ducting with RVK fan extraction, 2x 5 inch fan assisted inlets, 1x 4 inch passive inlet at ceiling height.

Air circulation: 2x 16 inch Vortex oscillating pedestal fans.

Hope to become a member soon so I can make a journal, I have documented most of my grow from the start and have plenty of pictures to add, few youtube videos too.

Why didn't you SCROG or train? Just wondering
Hey bud, I knew someone would ask, I did some LST pretty early on but did not plan well enough for a SCROG,I introduced a trellis at one point but after two weeks on it was clear i had been too late with it and it wasn't giving me the desired results, it was also a massive obstuction, the trellis had to go when I over fed and needed to flush the whole lot.

Looking good! Heavy producer, decent smoke, goes through a phase during curing where it smells like movie popcorn butter! Ran it over a year in soil, let me know if you have any questions..
Good luck!

Thanks mate, good to know, always a bonus to hear from someone with experience on the same strain. I chose this strain because I was told it is good for begginers, that and it has a massive yield potential lol. They look nice and green right now but they have definitely had their moments, they took my mistakes and bounced back no worries, I did have to chop down a true Hermie about 2 weeks into flower, it was a sin, the thing was a decent size and frosty as hell.

Those pictures look like a legit Hermie! Huge producer, fast finisher bulletproof plant! Some people going to knock it but it's absolutely a great choice to learn on and the smoke is damn good too, smooth. Everybody loved it too! Great choice especially starting out
