Alright folks
So I'm growing 2 plants. C99, I grew with my 1st journal. Very much on the cheap! No tent, minimal CFL lights. I picked up bits and pieces like a fan, temp sensor, fertilliser and most importantly knowledge along the way. It was just 2 plants in a box with a light! I got a decent amount from it though. Enough to keep me going for about 5 months of smoking every other day maybe, on average. I was well happy!
I kinda wanted to keep the 1st grow simple with the aim of comparing the results to a new grow of the same seed with better lights. The CFL's were fine but I think the plants suffered in the flowering stage. Not suffered but could have been better.
This grow will have a tent 1200x600mm floor space. Thats 47"x 23" roughly. And a mars reflector 480w. So I'm expecting better results for sure.
Alongside the Cinderella there will be a Northern Lights. It'll be nice to have an indica and a sativa to choose from. The C99 was great for creativity and daytime use but could have been stronger when you want something to knock you back into the previous week!!
Some details:
Strain: C99(sativa, %unknown); Northern Lights(Indica,90% i think) Any suggestions as to where I can get definite info on the %'s?
Stage: 1 seedling up, waiting on the other
Environment: Indoor(tent), Soil (compost and perlite once they get big enough for transfer out of small pots of just compost)
Lighting: Mars Hydro reflector 480w
Lighting schedule: 18/6 for veg 12/12 for flower
Nutes: Tomato feed (4%N) for veg and Biobloom (2-7-4) for flower
So thats about it really. I can't think of anything else to tell you in terms of conditions/details. Just about me now. I'm Irish, red hair and all! Mid 30's. Been smoking since I was a teen. God I wish I could go back and take that 1st toke again! Wasn't it amazing! Teens here, back then at least, smoked joints of tobacco and hash crumbled into it. So its a great way to get kids hooked on the demon weed as well as the saintly one!
I gave up the demon weed about 3 years ago so I had to give it all up as I associated one with the other. So I'm only really back smoking grass 6 months -ish. I smoke grass though a bong now and find it much better for my lungs. The odd time I have been offered a joint, it floors me! Its a double whammy of grass and tobacco. For an ex smoker it's like playing with fire!
I'm going to keep the posts scarce until there is a need to. I think I bored the tits off anyone on my 1st journal with bullshit posts. I'll keep an eye on that this time. If anyone wants to chat you are more than welcome. I don't consider it MY journal but OURS...awwwe isn't that lovely!!
I would ask you to call me Thirsty or anything else other than Muppet! In Ireland if you call someone a muppet its usually in a derogatory manner. The only time it's cool is when a friend calls you a muppet for...well..being a muppet! Or when you call yourself a muppet. A guy previously said here something like "yo muppet, bla,bla,bla" and I couldn't help but be a little offended even though he was sound! Now that's enough of me shite-talking. There is a big box in the hall with a tent in it that aint gonna assemble itself! Take it easy guys.

You are somewhat biased but I'll take the compliment. I am happy with it. The fan on the Mars Hydro reflector 480w is a bit noisey for a bedroom but its mostly used during the day when I'm working nights. So I have the 6 hrs of darkness set for then. Problem solved. Except for when I'm in the doghouse and have to sleep in the spare room at night! 
I'm literally down to 1 last bong hit from my 1st grow! Hard times! Have 1 for me.
