hey y'all
so, these ladies are my first grow.
I got them at a headshop in the Netherlands.
I didn't have money yet for a normal tent, or reflectors, so I think this seriously set back the yield, but I did my best :)
2x 125W 'Pro Star CFL AGRO
I used 5L fabric pots, and filled them with soil-coco-perlite mix, each with a different ratio.
The one with the most soil got to be the smallest, and the one with the most coco got to be the most beautiful :)
I planted them on February the 5th, it took them 5 days to get out and see the lights:p
After the 3rd/4th node I started light LST on them, worked out pretty well.
I only used a little Vertafort grow and bloom tablets, and PH stabiliser.
on the first 2 days of drying, I literally felt pine smell, like it was Christmas.
I harvested them on the 11th of May, and after 5 days of drying I put them in jars.(May 19th)
I got 48g from the 3 plants, quite happy with it!
maybe I could have done more trimming at the end, but every sugar leaf is covered in trichomes:P
Thanks for reading! Peace :)
It took like 2-3 weeks for them to show their first preflowers, after that they exploded :P
In conclusion I really liked this strain, will definitely grow some more. This year I didn't have money for a normal tent, reflector, etc..

Hey grow diaries! I have these amazing Blue Mammoth's from Barney's farm, 3 of them. I planted them February the 5th, and.Now (may the 9th) the lower parts doesn't seem maximum developed. Only on one plant, the leaves are yellowing, and have brown spots..do you think its fine?thx
Not all plants I've seen go through that yellowing dying stage completely. Ive been told go by your trichromes, if they're milky, not glassy, and have some amber ones too then you're ready to rock. Of coarse you want to notice if any of your pistols are still very white and fresh, which none of yours appear this way. I think you're ready to go. Congratulations they're beautiful.
I love the title to your diary. I think everyone enjoys seeing a diary turn out this good on a budget. Often it seems the necessary items just keep adding up and keep coming. I can't wait to see the final weight and pics.
@Experimentgreen, I had 90cm in height, but I had to fit the lamps to that 90 cm... :D I'm happy that it turned out well, but yeah, next year normal tent :)
@weed_gastro,
Tents can be fairly inexpensive nowadays....but definitely look back on your previous grows and their final sizes, that'll give you some estimation of an approximate sized tent. Too often people are limited by their dimensions, or find they have no room to maneuver themselves or the plants around.
She looks good, a little small pehaps, but she has 2 weeks of growth left in flowering
i will watch you now and then to see what you will harvest in the end
