Hi there,
This is my first grow.
I built a stealthy dresser grow box to keep in the garage. There are about 200w of various temp CFLs. My soil was mostly vermicompost that i made myself, with some regular compost added in. I germinated 1 auto WW seed from ILGM, 24 hours in water and then straight in the soil (about 3 gallons).
My lights have been on 24/0 since the seed went in the soil.
Temps have been an issue, as i've experimented to try to find a good balance, in my unheated garage in winter. They haven't gone too far out of the extreme, probably min was 60 and max was 85. I was usually able to keep about 70-75 the entire grow.
I used Alaska brand Fish emulsion for veg and ALaska brand Morbloom for bloom. I also used a bit of molasses, but not much.
I have been keeping an eye on the tricomes to see when they turn amber, and I noticed maybe 1% amber last week. That is when I stopped nutes, using only pure water.
Today is day 90 and I looked at the "main" cola, and it is about 70% amber, but the buds that followed it are only about 5-10%.
I think I will chop next week. What do you guys think?
PS: I have LST'd the snot out of her, as you'll be able to see. I also defoliated a bit last week because it was just so crowded in the box. Some buds are pressed up against the other wall getting a smashed flat side. Since it was so LST, there are about 30 colas that are 4-5". The last pic is of the "main" but it pretty much looks the same as the rest.
