Hey there. Wife and I got tired of trying to find quality bud in our area, so we decided to grow some of our own. We have been reading the various forums, mags, and books, and have had some decent results, and learned some lessons.
All grow phases have been done using CFLs, indoors, with soil and nute mix.
7/15/2008
To start, the seeds were started on paper towel, and then planted after 4 days. The soil mix is 2 parts Moisture Max Sta_green potting soil, and 1 part Miracle Gro Perlite. Before the flames start....I have realized that this is a bad mix to use, since it has fert in the soil, and holds too much water.
They grew fairly well, but it was clear that we have been fighting water and nutes for a while. Also we were losing most of our light, due to not having a very good grow area or reflective liner.
Here are some early pics. Keep in mind that these were bagseeds from some decent smoke from the midwest. We will be getting some better seeds for round 2, but these were available, and free.
