MyFirstGrow

Wanted to share some pictures of my first grow before harvesting in the near future. My setup is a very basic stealth model. I'm using a solid plastic storage shed (the shelves make for great lighting movement) with a 10 gallon bubble-ponics/drip nutrient dispersal system. The lighting is CFL 85watt dual spectrum vegetative and flowering bulbs (very minimal heat buildup when closed). A medium sized box fan and vent holes provide the necessary air flow. I started out with six seedlings and ended up with this one. Hope you like the pics. I'm figuring another week or two. What do you think?

Very nice! What strain is that? Welcome to RiU!

Thanks ZeroTransFat. Don't know what strain as the seeds were from a batch I bought from my local tomato grower. With the advent of the economic bumps we as Americans are experiencing, I figured knowing how to grow my own would not only benefit me financially, but also guarantee not to run out when the well runs dry on the marketplace. You know the old adage "Give a man a fish and he eats for that day, teach him how to fish and he eats for life." I'm into my eighth flowering week, how much longer till harvest? Any help appreciated.

Welcome to Rollitup. You should start a journal and post some more pics.

Chiceh, I will definitely do a journal on my next grow. And Thanks for the welcome.

Eight weeks huh? Should be coming up soon! Keep checking your trichomes and when they turn from milky white to a nice amber color you can start to harvest. I'd harvest at around 60% amber but everyone will tell you something different. Generally speaking, the more amber the trichs, the stonier (lazier) your high. Don't forget to dry/cure!

welcome to RIU
grow that shit!

Hey Thanks for the encouragement. Took Chiceh's advice and started a journal with more pics including my setup. Glad to be aboard.
