Hello from Massachusetts. This is my 1st grow and heres how its gone so far:
-Found 3 seeds in a bag so I germinated them.
-Planted in old pots with yard dirt and found an old T12 light in basement.
-Plants were growing but very slowly and thin/long.
-Got 400watt hid light and 8' fan/filter.
-Plants started to die, I assumed it was the junk dirt.
-Transplanted into Black Gold potting soil and then I really thought they were dead.
-Started feeding w/Mega Crop.
-Now I think they are growing pretty decent.
I am using a closet as the grow room, usuable space is about 3'x3' and then I have another 3' of space where I hung the filter and use to store plants out of direct light. I didnt realize how big the 8" fan ducting was so I got a 4" reducer so I can vent with a 4" duct, looks better coming out the closet door. I still have to work on the door and have all the light blocked when they are in flower.
2 of the plants grew faster than the other so thats why I bent them, I wanted to try LST. I didnt plan on these plants actually living so I went ahead and ordered 20 seeds but have no idea when Ill receive them. Now these plants are looking alot better and 2 appear to be female so Ill see how far I can go with them.
*In the last photo I have a plant im trying to LST, should I trim off the branches I marked with blue arrows, to thin the plant and open space up?
