This is my first grow. Thank you Red_Greenery for the material creativity, GN for the opportunity to learn, POMH and Subzero for inspiration. Been lurking day and night for about 2 months. I started these plants very ghetto, tin cans cut in half with MG as seedlings using a plant gro light from Wally World. Like I said, my first grow, so I didn't know. Found ICM, made a rubbermaid. These plants are about 3 months old from seed and with a somewhat crazy schedule been on 12/12 for SOG method and now 14/10. A cpl I finished with MG, others I used organics, peat, and perlite. Urine as the fertilizer. No PH testing equipment as I want to grow, but you gotta crawl before you walk, or as POMH would say...don't make the easy hard. I have more pix coming.

New pix. BTW, have 6 42 watt CFL's running bagseed. Tell me what you think.

looks alright for a first grow. did they burn on a light or something? In one of the pics they also looked overwatered.

also, you mentioned using urine? Theres conjecture about it, but imo it doesnt do any more good than some fish ferts or even miracle grow. your going organic, so, have you ever tried tea?

Bagseed, thanks for stopping by. Yes, they did burn on a light and I didn't wanna cut so gonna finish like that. Overwatering....possible but I was thinken overfert from the start since sprouted in MG....

Miracle grow soil? Ive used it. not too bad, usually doesnt over fert my plants. Seeing as it looks like your into flower a bit, Id say youll get some decent smoke, just in case its over ferted (which it looks to be that and a compound of other things), flush before harvest? Its easily done and will save your lungs a lot of coughing later on.

But I still say ixnay the urine-ay

'But I still say ixnay the urine-ay'

LOL Bagseed i'm a naturalist. However, even tho I'm inexperienced I feel like my plants loved it. Almost every time I ferted, I got nice and relaxed with a WHOLE bottle of red wine.

Yes-- I think 2 weeks of flush from today then 48 hrs sleep then chop.

is it your usine or animal urine..? Because if its yours there are way more harmful chemicals in human urine than beneficial stuff. But to each his or her own.

Indeed, my urine, a red wine induced drunk one.

Nice job, glad I could be of some inspiration. You're on your way to providing yourself with quality smoke, congrats.

Hey stoned - that's a good lookin' maid you scrounged together. Looks like you'll have some fine smoke for your first grow. I'd be flushing them for a good week or two, no pun intended. Those curly leaves are a sign of N buildup from your choice of fertilizer.
