Despite my confidence when growing years ago, my biggest disappointment was when I grew and dried out my 1st bud. It looked great while growing, greasy/stinky...looked great. The problem was that I only got 1 or 2 larger buds off of it, and when they were dried, they were 1/10 of their original weight. 35 years ago an old hippie showed me how to grow indoors with 5 things...a MH light, Promix, 5 gallon buckets, and regular Loews/Home Depot Jack's 20-20-20 fertilizer (although they didn't have Jack's back then, it was Peter's), and that was about it. I grew plants 12 ft tall in 3 months indoors, and got buds 18" long and very thick. What I found is that a bright light is important. A 9 watt LED is fine for a houseplant, but if you are planning on supplementing your stash, you are going to have to get some stronger lights. I know that you are trying to prove that less powerful LEDs will work, but the less light energy a plant gets, the slower and smaller it grows. There is only so much energy that a plant can get from a 9 watt LED, so it compensates by growing as much as the light's energy allows.

Outside (greenhouse) at 26 days into flower. Greenhouse has been her home for 4 months since sprouting. They really need a lot of light.

I too have a bad back and understand the pain. If you can grow them outdoors now it the time to start some seeds.

Good Luck! Lots of people here with the info you're looking for and happy to share.

Get this growing stuff down and if you can swing it purchase some seeds with higher CBD. At least start making tincture and caps. Easy to do and longer lasting pain relief.
