I received some seeds from a friend that he made feminized using some silver thing.......I am sure many of you readers know what I mean simply using the word silver. I am not 100% sure what that is, but I know you have to be careful or you can turn into a smurf. No seriously look it up. We germinated several, some were eaten by crickets......LONG STORY. Some were given away after a couple of weeks and we decided to keep the twin. We had received clones, but have never grown from seed. We thought we had a nice little home for her and she was growing well.
However, her life started nicely, but she was really slower growing because we started her under a 20watt LED light to which we thought was a 300 watt.
Once we figured out buying lights that say one thing does not mean they produce what they say. She was finally moved into her own room with a nice T5 Fluorescent 400 watt fixture and she was happy. She grew and expanded and we were ecstatic.
Into her flowering stage she went after some time. First few weeks were amazing she grew her flowers looks well and then we started having issues. She suffered from heat exhaustion, high PH in soil, bad spider mite problem. (we got right on that one and are prepared should this all happen again.)
She literally stopped flowering. Her flowers stopped growing and we waited 3 weeks before deciding just to harvest and use for external purposes. (balm its literally all I make. However, it is amazing!!! LOL) :joy: We did keep a small amount to maybe smoke a bowl or joint, but we are probably not going to. We are very unsure. I mean look at the biggest "bud." It is nothing but hair.
I have plenty more seeds and much more knowledge now. I plan to grow her again to see how she can really produce under proper care.
