Cost: Roughly averaged $20 a month over 4 months. I have 2 pc fans on constantly and 1 desk type fan to keep air circulating and it also blows across the bulbs. Also a tower fan blowing in from outside to control temp on a timer with the lights.

Here's some weekly growth pictures.

I was pretty diligent about keeping the canopy as even as I could and within a few inches from the CFL bulbs.

After the uproot, I let her hang upside down for a week to dry out nice and slow. There was a total of 38 branches so I just clipped them all off, piled them up and got down and dirty with the trim job that took about an hour.

The nugs varied in size between 1.5-2.5 grams each. Along with a bunch of popcorn buds, the total weight came to 76.4 grams. I expect to still lose a little more moisture weight but not much. I definitely made it my 2 oz goal this time.

Each of my grows have shown significant improvement. Take a look:

Here's a link to my dresser grow box that was pretty inexpensive to make, and perfect for growing with CFLs.

I started with a 1/2 gallon sized pot, then transplanted to 2.5 and ended up in big 5 gallon pot. Using the old faithful Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil mixed with some extra perlite.

Earth Juice: Verde Fire powder nutrients for grow and bloom added every other watering.

For training, I topped the clone after a couple days and leaned her to the side.

I topped all of those side shoots that came up, and then each of those new shoots again after a couple nodes.

Low stressed trained (LST'ed) the hell out of them, without supercropping, to grow out first and then upward.

Here's a nice shot of her legs.

Thanks GrowWeedEasy!

Now It's Your Turn!

Make your own dresser microgrow setup just like Mind_if_I_do_a_J and start growing marijuana with CFLs today!

Soil: Fox Farms Ocean Forest mixed with perlite

Nutrients: Verde Fire powder Grow and Bloom (used every other watering)

Note about nutrients: Mind_If_I_Do_A_J started using Verde Fire Grow at Week 3, since Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil already has been enriched with some nutrients.

"I know your site well, as a matter of fact,: I used advice and technique from Keef Treez to experiment with some defoliation myself. Here is a link that shows more training and lollipopping. And here, I just really like this shot. Check out these close up shots.

We're so glad to hear our website helped you grow such an awesome plant! Congrats!
