Apollo 11 mini-cfl

Allright brothers, this isn't really a diary since I'm only a week or two away from harvesting, but it's sort of a grow report.

I was pretty much a n00bie before starting this, it's my 3rd grow in a row and also the first sativa & non-autoflower strain, which made it fun. I wanted to get me some beans from Spice Bros after the nice smoke reports I read about this strain, and I wanted a sativa. Got the seeds around Xmas and after getting another grow out of the way, I popped them seeds on 16th February. I knew my growing space is limited and I could keep only one female, but so happened that 4 popped. Suffice to say I'm happy there was at least one female, which I kept. :sasmokin:

Now, I'm running it under record low wattage, 75w CFL. The yield isn't probably even 1 oz. but I don't need more right now. The samples I've taken, mainly from branches that weren't getting enough light (made me want to let them outta their misery), I have really liked the smoke and it keeps improving day by day. It's exactly as the descriptions said. It is also my first non-couchlock homegrown strain. :biglaugh:

As for the grow itself, it's been so troublefree that I don't have anything interesting to say about it. The only nutes I give it is some kind of cheap veg nutrient and bio bizz flower. I recommend the latter to everyone, it has multiplied the amount of tricomes of this plant. But you know that already, Bio Bizz rocks! :) So anyhoo, I have grown my baby under 12/12 right from the start and first pistils showed 6th March. So the total flowering days of this plant will go to about 55.

Here's three pics I've taken from different phases of the grow. The last one was taken today.

Here you go, nothing more than a corner in a room that had white walls. Building the lamps, fun just like pottering as a kid...

Hey Yellowmoon, pretty damn impressive for the amount of watts used. I'm amazed by all these cfl grows that are popping up. Great job man.

Thank you, both. :rasta:

So the dried weight was 15 grams. The smoke is really good, the indica effect is stronger than I thought even though I harvested a little early. The feeling is pleasant, clear & creative, but it puts me to sleep really well too.

Ask away if you're thinking about something.
