Where to start? Right confession.
Dear Growers, it has been about 35-40 years since my last grow. Whew, got that out of the way.
I am broke, so for now this first grow is more or less to learn more and get the kinks out. Once I start receiving CPP in March I will be able to step it up. I want to work out the best growing situation that is affordable before I order special seeds like Kazar for example.
Thanks to the awesome knowledge from this group I am convinced that I have to grow my own to ensure there are no pesticides or contaminants. So not doubt I will need some assistance from time to time and on that note I want to be clear that for the short term I have little to no money to invest in it. But that will change.
I am posting some pics below that show my progress so far. I started by germinating 8 seeds in wet paper towels on Thursday, Jan 19. there were 4 seeds from Girl Scout Cookies and 4 from unknown. I do have a good idea of which strains all the seeds that I have or from, but somewhere over the last year they got mixed up or I failed to identify the ones I separated into different tiny baggies. Nonetheless I only kept seeds from stuff that was really good, like Afghani, Chocoloupe and Krypto to name a few. So 7 seeds germinated, missed one of the GSC but one looked questionable anyway.
I started them in red plastic cups (aka beer cups) about 2/3 full when I planted the germinated seeds in the cups. I remembered how they are tall and stringy at first and as expected I have to add some soil on Wednesday. I spotted the sticky on this very topic and today I transferred 3 to slightly taller container because the were too stringy. On transplanting I discovered some had a length of 6" from root to leaves. I realize my light was maybe a bit to far away, but I have no CFL's to use. I will cover that in the next post, it is still a work in progress.
