12 Chrystal, 3 Purple Haze, 200w CFL's - 150w HPS (for flowering) I Have Returned!

Yes!
So motivation levels have been high lately and I've got the grow bug bad (low smoke) and have A LOT of seeds from great genetics.
So first, I'm using a 175w MH, and (4) 30+W CFL's. I can't get better lighting until I get a job again.
I built a 20" x 20" x 30" Grow box, and painted/sealed the interior with moisture resistant paint to reflect as much % of light as possible. Works nearly as well as Mylar anyways.
I'm growing in soil. Mostly sphagnum peat moss, perlite, and some organic compost all mixed nicely.
Starting seedlings in Paper towels for 2 days, then move to the 16oz Keg Cups. I plan to veg. them for 2-3 weeks max and then switch them over to flowering. A transplant to 1 gal. containers will also be in order at that point. Not looking for a lot here, maybe 3-4 Oz's to last me until my *next grow. I can pull that off.
I germinated 3 Purple Haze, and 2 Crystal seedlings right off the bat to test the viability of the seeds. GREAT! Now I added 5 GDP and they will be in the box in the next couple days.
After those were transferred to the soil medium, I proceeded to germinate 10 more Crystal. That's the highest yielding strain i've grown yet. Also my favorite taste and smell.
Those are now far too ready for the soil after only 2 days in germination, with over half already growing cotyleydons inside the baggy.
That's no problem, actually it's what I want to keep them as short as possible because I can stick them in right up to the first set of leaves flush with the soil level.
Here's some pics for now, although I know this grow won't be exciting to many people until the end, as with most.
This is what I did a few months ago w/ just simple bagseed so let's see what I can really do with some great strains!
Okay so here's what i've got so far. Trust me there will be plenty more where that came from.

They are completely AWESOME.
We got HUGE cola's and great fucking potency from this strain.
It's my favorite thus far because of it's ease of grow, and the amount of potent buds it produces, and the sheer size of them in contrast to the size of the plant itself.
You have no idea how excited I am. I feel like it's my first grow all over again. Haha wow that was a long time ago and a major FAIL. I've come a long ways.

It is recommended for novice growers, NOT what Mhbound said...
I don't know where you got your information but Crystal is a very stable, easy to grow strain man...

Not too much mention about this strain but it is a very awesome classic hybrid.
The combination of WW x NL is perfect for my climate.

The Grand Total
I now have 12 little Crystal's, and 3 Haze!
I only chose to germ. 3 Haze mostly because it's Sativa Dom. and I won't have the space for quantity of these.
The Crystal are the money makers. Large dense trich. covered buds, on a medium size plant. That's what i'm looking for as I'm doing a mini SOG of sorts. I'm mainly starting this many just to be sure I'll get at least 5-6 females. I plan to flower them once they have reached 6" and grow mostly one big bud per plant, plus popcorn nuggets of course.
PICS! DAY 3
Now is the easy part, time to sit back and relax and watch the show!

I'm expecting about 3 oz's, but am TRYING to get about 4. I might ScrOG but not sure if it's necessary. I'm only going to let each one get 6-8" before I flower, Power in numbers...
It all depends on the number of females I get

Well get ready, it will take 3 months but trust me, it will start to go by fast.
I'm too excited. I shouldn't look at them everyday but i'm guilty...
