Whats up all?
I have always dreamt of growing my own ganj and recently had a room mate move out....freeing up a closet for use. Ding ding ding! my opportunity to grow. Prior to them moving out i had done lots of research on growing in general.
So i got myself a 400w HPS and 2 100W cfls. I rigged up the closet with a couple fans and voila! a grow closet(not the greatest but it keeps the temp and humidity fairly consistent and does not lose tooo much light.) I also purchased Fox Farms Tiger bloom and Big bloom. and have been using a generic grow fertilizer.
With my HPS ballast in i have room for about four 3 to 3.5 ft tall plants. I knew many normal photoperiod plants get taller then that without pruning and topping and whatnot(i wanted to keep my first grow simple). Here enters the AUTOFLOWER. perfect for my situation since the plants are smaller and also allows me to keep a continuous cycle of growing without having a second closet for veg or flower.
THe seeds i chose for my first shot were Afghan Kush Ryders, i also got a couple free dinafem 'Fruit'' autos with that.
At this point i have harvested my first two AFKs. Both of them yielded around a half ounce although the one really stretched and ended up a foot taller then the other one and t he buds were far less dense(two different phenos maybe?).
Although the smoke is good, i know for a fact that these could have been much, much better. One part in particular that irked me was the low amount of crystals seeing as this is supposed to be a potent strain. I now have 3 plants going at different stages and have been tweeking my approach little by little to achieve better results.
I stumbled across this website and have found it to be amazing for my research, so i decided to become a member. i look forward to help i may receive in my research.
