Well, what can I say. I'm a Jock in Belgium who has decided to grow his own to save money and hassle, and my first ever auto, a Northern Lights, is almost ready. Found this forum and have learned a hell of a lot already, excellent site.
It's not gone so well, it started off on the windowsill and was going great until I ended up in hospital for 9 days and the missus couldn't look after it properly. Luckily, it lived but had seriously stretched out in every direction so it was moved into the utility room where there was more space and the environment was better controlled. All I did at first was stick a 4000K 100W equivalent led lamp in the small room, then added a 2700K 40W similar a bit closer, and, well, its taken a while longer than it should because the plant went into some sort of "survival mode" and even though yield will be low it's still going to work out cheaper than buying.
Been reading Muddy's auto thread, and tonight I took his advice and nipped off a bit of a bud, chopped it up and dropped it in my vaper. I didn't get much from it so I took what was in the vaper and mixed that with some tobacco. I felt that....
That's with a point when most trichs that look clear. I reckon by the weekend, maybe the middle of next week, she'll have "frosted" up more and will be ready to start being harvested as the trichs have started going cloudy.
Next plant, a hybrid auto called Big Bang, is on the go in the same room under a new 10W led grow spot I ordered from China, methinks a "bigger" led grow lamp may be ordered soon.
And if all goes well with the second plant, well, I have some Acapulco Gold photo seeds lying round somewhere...
Oh, I'm just using common or garden pots and compost with hardly any extra feeding, nothing fancy, just good old fashioned simple things that work.
Keep up the good work folks, you've helped me already
