Nothing lazy about it. If it isnt grown for sale and you dont plan on making any sort of concentrate, why not leave some leaves?

Damn straight im lazy. But I still don't get the trim everything deal. If you like it trimmed up hard then thats fine to. Different areas and states and countries seem to have different preferences. I trim for my preference which just happens to suit the daily smokers in their 40s and 50s who are my customers.
If someone doesn't want to buy off me then thats fine to, its not like the very small amounts I move hang around young fella.

First off, I was going to pay for real seeds, I just wanted to get experience with bag seeds before I **** up a good seed lol. Also, I wanted to use botanicare line, but amazon was always sold out
, I don't live near a store that has it that I'm aware, growing just became legal in Canada so one day it will. As for making homemade stuff, I want some more experience first knowing the plant's boundaries, mainly with training/deficiency/toxicity & curing. Lastly, I understand watering each day is ideal, but that is to overwhelming to me lol. I can buy pretty damn good weed here for $50 an ounce, I already feel like the effort exceeds that lol, although fun yet again . I will PM you eventually I'm sure, I will try your curing method too, tyvm

Get some good seeds, not all are expensive, and learn as you go, as to what suits you.
If you like OG Kush there are plenty of OG Kush varieties in seed.

2 strong factors for weak weed:
Weak Lights = Weak Grow (there's a reason why growers spend big money on good lights. Growing with CFL's is a waste)
Also, Bad Genetics...
Idk anything about your seeds, but if you had good genetics those lights weren't going to bring out its potential. On the other hand, it doesn't matter how good your genetics may be if your lights are crappy.
It also takes longer to reach "maturation" when the plants aren't receiving enough light. Normally Indicas take around 7 to 9 weeks to mature. If you really grew your strain for 10 weeks and it looked like it was in its 6th week, then i blame your lights. Some people usually harvest the top colas when they're ready and let the larf grow for another week so it gets good direct light.
There's a bunch of other factors, but if you fix those 2 then you're halfway there.
If you're a new grower, try simplest nutrient regime you can find until you get comfortable with the whole process. It's much simpler than it sounds, but it takes experience to learn.
Something like "maxibloom" in coco+perlite, some "real growers recharge", half assed training and good lights will get you much better weed than half the stuff out there

That was nowhere near done.
Where are you growing? That looks like it might be a bad place. You need to control your environment. Proper temps and humidity.
Flushing is a myth. You can grow organic or with bottled nutes and both taste good if done right. Don't overfeed the whole grow and try to flush it at the end. Feed what they need not what the bottle says.
The smoothness comes from the dry and cure. The slower the dry the better.
Most of this stuff can be found in there but will mostly come in time and practice. That means growing.

Contact botanicare directly and they will send a sample out for the cost of shipping.First off, I was going to pay for real seeds, I just wanted to get experience with bag seeds before I **** up a good seed lol. Also, I wanted to use botanicare line, but amazon was always sold out

I hear ya on the lights, but I didn't have to much choice. I know it is possible in a small space, but until I can use a bigger spot, I'm stuck with about 5 feet in height. Also was a bit cheaper, but with how many socket splitters & stuff I need it starts adding up anyways. This is my 2nd grow & figured I would save more money by using a T12 fixture we already had. The bulbs were higher lumens & wattage than the CFL's, but grew them so much smaller
. I have to get new lights next grow anyways, any suggestions? 5 ft. height, about 8-10 ft. long & about 3-4 ft. wide. I still can't spend hundreds on the lights yet (health issues, can't work ). About the nutrients, that's what I did, using the general hydroponics 3 pack until I get more experienced. Cheers

In my basement crawlspace. I have a hygrometer, a dehumidifier & currently a humidifier for the odd time it need's since it's winter (typically when the soil is drier). A heater I have as well, along with a fan. No temp drops during dark time to much & I keep it near 76-78 fahrenheit. I heard in flower its best to keep it cooler & apparently a bit colder near harvest.

5ft height should be plenty for most Indica strains.. I wouldn't go sativa though.I hear ya on the lights, but I didn't have to much choice.

Since you're trying to be frugal, i was going to recommend an HPS, but your low height doesn't help. And those things are ovens pretty much.
Almost anything is an upgrade from CFL's even the old red+blue leds that we lovingly call blurple over here.

Something like this should be quite an upgrade for you, it says it's a 600W light, but in really it's only a 150W light, and it's very low cost.
And later on... you can just add another one as you expand. Rule of thumb for that kind of light is 1 per 2x2 ft space.

Buy cigar lighter gas, normal lighter gas has adulterants for safety reasons, cigar gas should be just pure butane. Thats if you are at the club and wanna look real cool
