One day I drank a few beers and planted some bag seeds. Wanted to get my first grow going so that I can start figuring things out, get my feet wet. I started with black gold soil in solo cups under a 100watt CFL and water at 6.3-6.7PH. They started off okay until I made the mistake of overwatering. Some died off, some made it. I transplanted into 1 gallon with fox farms ocean forest soil and they started doing better. By then I was using a Viparspectra XS1500 at recommended distance in a 32”x60” tent.
Then I started feeding them nutes and they stopped growing once again. I came to the conclusion that they had nutrient burn and my light was way too close. I fixed my problems and threw them into 3 gallon pots (first pics), waited a cppl days then threw them on 12/12. After getting rid of 4 males I was left with 2 females. One plant I had topped and took one leaf off. The other I let grow naturally. They were only maybe 8”-10” tall when I switched from 18/6 to 12/12. Today, 17 days into flower, this is what I have. Big ol stretchy bastards under 2 XS1500s.
Temps stay around 77-83 degrees and 40% humidity. They’re starting to stink so my carbon filter gets here tomorrow. Reading online I expected 2x-3x growth in height, not 5x-6x only 17 days into flower. It’s almost like they’re catching up for the lack of growing they did during their brutal vegetative period.
Either way. Hoping for some smokable buds at the end of all of this.
