@felejr, that looks great,6 happy flowering plants. What lights are you using for your grow?

felejr · January 11, 2021, 6:29am

I have 2 California light works Solar Extreme 250’s

I am a complete newbie–never grew a flower or tomato inside or out! To me these look great! I hope my grow (started a week ago) looks like this.

I started with a Blue Dream auto fem but germinated right in the final pot. I am also using fabric pots but small ones–2 gallon. Check out my journal and please offer any advice!

Are yours autos?
What size pots are using?
When did you start your LST? Looks great!

Keep up the great work!

Okay need to finish up with some basic grow info. First this is my first indoor grow so everything I’m doing is because I’ve read about it on here or saw it first on Youtube. I did do a outdoor grow in 2019 of two plants a GG#4 clone and a New York Diesel clone I purchased at a local dispensary. Those 2 produced just under 3 lbs. However I was not a fan of dealing with all the Caterpillars, humidity, heat, rain, bud rot ect.
So now I’m using a 2.5ft X 5 ft. tent with 2 California Light works Solar Extreme 250’s and a 6" 400cfm fan and carbon filter. I’m growing in 3gal. fabric pots with Living soil from a local organic grow shop. Supplementing with CalMag and now also Roots Organic Bloom Booster. Just started 12-12 lights on Jan. 1st.
Started training when plants had 5 nodes by topping and then low stress as they allowed. Spent much more time training the Blue dream than the Black widow as the Blue dream was started earlier.
Any input or questions always welcome. I’ve been reading post here for several weeks and like the interaction members have here. Hopefully I’ve found a grow home…

First, your girls look amazing. I will look forward to seeing the progress.
I don’t think we ever finish up getting info.
You have landed in a great place where we all have the same goal.
There are big growers, little growers, growers of autos, photos, and both. You will see younger and older growers. We (growers) are represented by age, race, sex, region, and we do learn from each other.
As you hang around; you will notice that we continue to learn. The growing game changes daily. We try to keep up with it by upping our game daily.
Keep up the stellar work.
Stay Growing.

Thanks for the input. Every post I have read is about people helping and encouraging others. Good place to be!

Looking Great

@LoCoRocK @MrBlue @mudman hopefully did this right. Guess I’m like a lot of folks looking for input from people who share my passion for our medicine. Thanks to all for the welcome and please don’t hesitate to give input and suggestions as this is my first indoor grow and I’m definitely in the middle of huge learning curve.

mudman · January 13, 2021, 6:04pm

The curve is real! They’re looking lovely though. Welcome to GN. May your grow be painless and your harvest plentiful.

LoCoRocK · January 13, 2021, 6:08pm

“Holy cow” in my best Harry Caray voice…Like Zoinks…that is wicked Pissah!! How clean and purdy!! Good stuff man how big is the tent, Is that. 4’ ???
Edit - LMAO @ the curve… It is and endless curve man…

felejr · January 13, 2021, 6:09pm

Thanks and will do. I’m a lot like some of your retired guys as I just retired last October. Was a GM in a pizza chain for the last 5 years and never really had time to grow. Course I’ve been consuming since like 1973. Can’t believe I waited so long to start growing.

felejr · January 13, 2021, 6:14pm

Tent I picture is 2.5ft X 5ft. I also have a 2x2 I want to use for starting plants but It’s still empty. Planning on starting some garden vegi’s and then few girls next. Currently on day 13 since flip.

LoCoRocK · January 13, 2021, 6:17pm

Hey congrats on retiring mi amigo… You lucky ¥€π√ …I can’t wait, I’m still serving my time though, paying for your check actual… lol 2 more decades and I’m there… LoL

mudman · January 13, 2021, 6:25pm

I figure I’ll probably get to “retire” when a doctor tells me, “You’re too old and broken for this shit.” Or when my job finally actually disables me.

felejr · January 13, 2021, 6:43pm

@mudman I see your not that far from retirement from previous post. Don’t wait too long as I almost did. Retired in October and seems like I’ve spent most of it in Dr. offices. Got told I have lung cancer so been doing Chemo and radiation treatments since November. Good news is it’s working well and my grow has given me something to focus on and look forward too. Can’t wait to smoke some of my own quality smoke lol I hope!

Mark0427 · January 13, 2021, 6:45pm

Mud is still a baby compared to most if im not mistaken. He is like the baby of the group are u the youngest @mudman i believe so. See if i remember ur age as being 1 less than 30

felejr · January 13, 2021, 6:48pm

Yep guessing I was confusing him and @MrBlue. Been reading a lot of post by both of them. No intention of offending anyone. And I do appreciate everyone still working. Love my mailbox money.

Mark0427 · January 13, 2021, 6:53pm

Yep @MrBlue needs a walker and cane orba wheelchair lol. 4 years til retire. Lucky shit. By the time i can retire blue will already have aucked up all the funds lol
