my GROWSTORY

Selkot . YEAR 1 -------- Everything began in August 2018, with a 40×40×120 tent, one CFL Wings 125 (50 real watts), and 3-liter pots. 😅 The very first seeds I ever grew were Cheesy Auto from Philosophers Seeds. Two plants which, in 11 weeks, gave me… 11 grams. After that, I doubled down: same conditions, but with 2 Sweet Skunk from RQS. Also 11 weeks. Also 11 grams. In the second half of the year, I clearly understood that space and light are essential; after two harvests like that, no wonder… Still, I stayed modest: a 60×60×180 tent and a 65w Chinese pink LED. I tried 4 Cheesy Auto from Philosophers Seeds again; result: 34 grams from the 4 plants in 13 weeks. A small, very small improvement😁 (see photo) End of the first year: a (very) mixed result. 56 grams from 8 plants. That’s 7g/plant. YEAR 2 -------- The second year was marked by switching to 7-liter pots, and buying a second identical Chinese LED, for a total of 130w, plus a 120×60×180 tent. 14 plants grown to completion: Quick One (see photo), Royal Dwarf, Northern Lights and Caramel from RQS and Zamnesia. Result: 225g for the year. 16g/plant. Better, but still far from good. 😉 YEAR 3 -------- The third year, I tried to maximize yields with the equipment I had. I still moved up to 11-liter pots and grew 19 plants: Kalini Asia, Royal Gorilla, White Widow, AK420, Diesel, Amnesia, Couskush and Bubble Kush from RQS and Zamnesia. Result: 361 grams for the year, 19g/plant; progress, but still not enough. At the end of the year, I bought 2 MarsHydro TS600. My first “real” lights… The fourth year marks my arrival on GrowDiaries… 😊
