Hey everyone I'm new here to posting but have been reading for a few months.

Here is my very first grow....around 2 more weeks till harvest I think :) It may not be anything special to any of you but I'm kinda proud of this little guy. Ive been growing in an old server case (will all change with my next grow...buying a tent...and better lights :D) I have 5 23 watt cfls.. I used 6500k's for the first few weeks of veg then slowly started mixing in 2700's and right now I have all flowering bulbs except one to mix up the spectrum a little.

Its a northern lights auto from nirvana seeds...conditions have been sub par for this plant. With all of the bulbs and the door closed the temps would sometimes reach ~85 deg. I upgraded the case with the highest cfm pc fans that would fit and also installed these smaller usb powered fans but they only dropped the temps by a few degrees. For 8 or 9 hours a day I open the side door and have 2 more cfl light fixtures that I aim at the sides and bottom so they get some growth....

Everyone told me all I would get was popcorn buds and I was just wasting my time.....I mean Im not growing a pound here but I'm genuinely surprised by the results. I had to cut one of the colas off because I ran out of room to grow and it started getting light burn from the cfls so I cut a branch off early.

So how much do you think Ill get when everything is all dry? We can turn this into a guessing game and I will post my dry results haha.

I think that's a great little Micro-Grow. It's friggen hard to grow buds in a Server case.

Hard to say on the yield but it's sure as heck gonna be better than just "popcorn buds"

Depends on how much she bulks up before the chop...but it looks pretty dang healthy!

Welcome to AFN :)
 
Those all look super happy! Congratz nice set up.
 
Great job for a first time grow "goingpostal" (I like the Pratchett handle ) :)
Stick around these parts and there will be plenty of help when you need it.
There is plenty of support for new growers here, before you know it you'll be getting a nice yield.
The only disappointing thing with this grow is 70 people passed through here but only 4 have commented. :(
I wish you all the best with your future grows and keep up the good work.
Arty :Cool bud:
 
whats up goingpostal? hahaha great name.. dude I gotta give you mad props for stuffin that case full of a healthy plant like that. awesome job.. theres usually bad news with good news... good news is you could end up with maybe an oz if everything goes good. bad news is it looks like its gonna be longer than a couple weeks. my guess 4 weeks.
