Eel's 1st indoor grow-Meph 4AssedMonkey

These were definately tougher to grow than the White Cracks! But it paid off! These are some hard hitting plants! And I even managed to reach my goal of 50g per plant! Reaching 161g in total! Couldn't be happier. These girls definately needed more calmg earlier on especially #3. Next time though! To those curious as to how I got to 179W(with 113w grow and 220w flowering) overall consumption. Here's how: I used 90w for these 3 plants from Day 1-21 180w from Day 22-49 255w from Day 50-73 Worked out the average Watt/Day for the entire grow using those values. I am overall very pleased with this being my first grow. I have learned alot for next time: 1 - I will mix in some extra perlite with the biobizz light mix next time. Just a little. 2 - I will water to runoff once before week 3 is over to try and take advantage of the whole pot(although I still need to check my roots, but I suspect they could have been more developed if this measure was taken). 3 - Calmg! Definately underestimated how much they would need! 4 - Defoliating: Not sure if I would do this differently, as I am happy with the results! But I butchered these autos with heavy defoliation week 4 through 7-8. I lolipoped early week 2-3 of flower too while I was defoliating. Any experts care to give their input here? Was it the right thing to do? 5 - Do not have a fixed harvest time, 4AM 2 and 3 could have gone another week easy. Next time I will have a second tent to dry in. 6 - I am going to be getting a large resevoir next time around and an air stone(or 2). I think my tap water being hard water didn't help and made it unnecassarily tedious even with correcting the PH. Should improve. Overall I am very happy with the results! 0.89g / Watt! for these 4AM!(Using the Watt avg over the entire grow)
