Hello All,
I originally introduced myself a little while back. Something happened to my account and I had to start a new.
So i just recently started my first grow
. An excited newb I am. My first one was Bubbalicious and my second one 2 weeks later was Dinafem Fruit. I had a very low budget setup using 3x2x3 old wooden file cabinet, 2 100w CFLs and later added 3 more. i used tap water and some miracle grow nutes.
BEFORE THE BASHING BEGINS... I know these are well bellow standards for most plants but college and just moving out on my own calls for some budget cuts. i really wanted to use this as a test run and just wanted to get some basics down so that when im finaincially ready i can seriously put together a nice home built grow closet. So basically im just tryin to get a prototype down and some good plans.
auto bubbalicious (pictures 1&4) grew very nicely she is bushy and i used a bending technique(concerned with space) to keep the top from getting too tall. she begain budding 3 weeks ago and she was in the dirt 02/05/13. the buds are small and i know the plant should be nearing completion within the next few weeks. im starting to flush now by feeding only water. but before i started with 1 capful of miracle grow 8-8-8 soultion per gallon and increased the capful every 10 days.
auto fruit(pictures 2&3)- is my star player. dark green leaves. i did a super crop on the second node and it grew the top two colas very nicely. im proud of her because her bud looks like the stuff im use too. she was laid to bed 02/19/13.
now i just ask for any feedback that anyone can give on what i should do next.
a few questions:
how long should i let bubba continue before i chop her down and dry her?
how do i know when the girls are ready to be cut down?
how long should i dry?
how long should i cure?
