First indoor grow

[African herbman]

Ok, so I thought I’d put together a little diary of my first attempt at an indoor grow.
The space is a closet about 5ft long, 6ft high and 2.5ft deep. The lighting consists of 4x 6ft, 58watt fluorescent tubes and one 85watt CFL. The total comes to 317 watts but as soon as I figure out a good way to mount the other CFL, the total wattage should be at 402 watts.
The plants being grown atm are 1x Thai female, 1x ak48 female and 1x Swazi female. I did have a super skunk but it was removed after it revealed it was a male.

Now some pictures.
Here’s the AK48, it was vegged outdoors and has been flowering indoors for 3 weeks and 2 days exactly.








The Thai, she was also vegged outdoors and has been flowering for just under 3 weeks in these pics.

that thai looks like an awesome strain.how does she yield for you outdoors?

 

[view2athrill]

Wow! That Thai could pass for any old green plant ALMOST.....is it hiding in plain sight? Cause it sure could! Have you grown it before?

 

[dkmonk]

Wow what a really nice sativa. How many weeks you going to let her flower??

Thanks guys. YwouldntI, this is my first proper run with Thai so I don’t really know what to expect. She was reveged after just showing her sex late last spring. All the others flowered earlier and were producing some very nice sized buds but started reveging as they got into summer so I think she should yield fairly decently. I’m busy doing some breeding with her to try make a heavy Thai dominant hybrid and hopefully get some more density to those really long buds.

view2athrill, yea man I know what you mean, she’s very inconspicuous looking. She’s indoors though.

Dkmonk, I don’t really have a clear idea how long. Pretty much how ever long it takes really, until they seem ripe.

Here’s a little update.









The sole surviver of a very special mildly purple Swazi pheno known as "Purple Aids"


Thats it for now,
Cheers

Thanks for the compliment kittysecrets4u.

I’ve been a bit lazy lately but eventually got round to doing a bit of an update.
Here’s what’s happening atm.
All plants are growing indoors, just took them outside for pics

Thai:

Buds are slowly starting to fatten up.







Purple aids is doing well, will transplant to bigger pot next week and start LST.
