Hi to everyone here at IC Mag. I've been reading lots of stuff the past few months on this site and figured it was time to share my grow experiment. I love this site btw, its great! I've learned quite alot. This isn't my 1st try at growing. I've made it about this far before before my plant had an accident and i had to start all over.
My stock of seeds come from Mexican raised plants south of the border. i live in South Texas, and needless to say we get the best schwag bar none. I dare anyone in the continential US to say their region gets better schwag. Trust me theres plenty o' crap out there but you gotta have the right connections. My brother brought home a 1/2 oz @$25 US (wich is the going rate and it was 'semi-bricked'), about 2 months ago that knocked my socks off. Hints of sandalwood, bright greenish almost yellow color, perfectly cured. Won't see something like that for awhile, thats for sure. I wouldn't doubt it has some dutch genes in it somewhere, since mostly all the stuff nowadays i see is hybridized stuff. All sorts of flavors and smells.
I sprouted 4 seeds June 12th actually doubting anything would happen since the weed was 'semi-brick'. I thought the seeds were rather small and too black in color.
I used about 40% perlite & 60% Organic Choice Miracle potting mix. Not actually soil. Thats it. I slowly upgraded the light since i didn't see the purpose in exposing seedlings too 8,000+ Lumens. After 1 1/2 weeks feeding starts with all purpose miracle grow 20-8-16, 1/2 tsp fertilizers per quart of filtered water from local dispensing well @ 25 cents a gallon. Feeding started of the bloom formula 15-30-15 last week
I'm using 1-65w cfl, 3900lumens(supposedly a 300w replacement)
1-40w cfl, 2700 lumens
1-26w cfl, 1650 lumens
133w & 8250 lumens. Sufficient enough for 1 plant, i assume, maybe 2. When sprouting seeds from schwag your gambling since you don't know the genetics and the fact the seeds aren't femenized. So i just pray God doesn't bless me with 4 females, cause Lord knows where i would put them.
I converted an old entertainment center, (everyone uses Flat screens these days bigger that the EC) that i had collecting dust into a grow space. Its very ghetto with cardboard, duct tape, and foil. Only materials needed.
I have no thermometer.
No ph kits.
This is really a small budget operation. I bought lights, fixtures, 1 gallon pots, timer, plus all i mentioned earlier. Some one was kind and bought me a $20 fan. Total budget was under a 100 dollars including the bag of weed!
I started the seedlings off in 20oz gatorade bottles covered in ductape. After sexing them 5-6 weeks later, I ended up with 1 female.Here she is @ day 17 since inducing flowering. Sitting at around 15 or so inches in height.
I will post a pic or 2 of the progress weekly.
Thanks for reading and i pray my experiment runs smoothly this time with no problems. Assuming it does run smooth i hope you'll check back on my progress. I would appreciate feedback if it will help me in anyway. Thanks again.
