Scarf's First Ever Grow!!

[blackxs]

Specs on the bulbs? I read through most of the thread but didnt see it.

Is it just those 4 CFLs? What kelvin and wattage? Same lighting the whole time or did you switch bulbs for flowering? Your buds are looking decent for those lights, which surprised me - I thought I NEEDED a MH light to get any significant yield... maybe not?

changed them over between grow and flower.

yeah its just the four CFLs
60 watts each i think...


i have been pretty patient... water every four days or so...
have the big fan circulating the air...

at the moment im going with the theory of less is more..
they are plants afterall ...and can withstand quite a lot...



im a little worried about new year while im away at the beach...

If they on timer"im not sayid do this with out highers opinion!" lol flush them the day r night before u leave and leave em go the water from the flush should hold em up n also clean the soil from any build ups

How long will you be gone for?

Ya I guess the best thing would b to soak em real good before leaving ...there's not much else you can do other than setting up an automatic drip system or something

how long will you be gone? if its just 3-5 days it should be ok, any more than a week and it might dry up though.

i imagine you could rig up a drip system with one of those baster things with the bulb you squeeze, you could just hook the tube part of one of those to a water tank or something with a small hose and it should slowly drip a little water from the end. anything with a small hole that will only allow a couple drops of water at a time to come out will work. the hole just has to be big enough to allow water to fall out on its own, but small enough that it's not too much at once.

or rig up a wick system... drip would probably be easier though.

yeah it will be about 6 days... i think i will just soak them pretty good before i head off...
i might be able to get a friend to come and water them if she is around the house during that time.

Eh..that's not the best of ideas. You shouldn't let anyone in on your little setup...bad things come from doing that

[SykonoT]

I agree,they might over/unde water them

[AbbyRoad]

i bet they smell divine

[(weedguru)scarf]

yeah they do smell wonderful...
now i just need to be patient
how can i tell when they are fully matured and ready?

[SativaMonkey]

im thinkin they gorgous bro & im seriously hearin ya on the patient side ive got to persuade myself to leave mine alone "all good things come to those who wait" lol..

for ripeness some go with pistil colour 70% brown ready to harvest, others me included will go with tricome colour if they clear their not ready, if they cloudy to 50% amber get in there, all amber THC degredation is setting in you need to harvest.

Thats what ive read about it anyways
