Hello, Im brand new at this, and all comments/suggestions are welcome!
Im doing this the cheapest way possible, its for personal use only..i'd be happy with one female plant at a time until i get the hang of this.
6/29-I started from some seeds from a decent bag and germinated them using paper towels.
6/30-little sprouts! I stuck them in solo cups with a mix of 5 parts miracle grow soil to 1 part perlite and hung a little $10 grow light from walmart.
7/2-sprouted out of soil. Watered to keep soil moist, no fertilizer.
7/7-they were growing really tall (weak light) so i put 2 shop lights up with a total of 4 daylight fluor. lights. (4 ft, 3050 lumens each, 40 watts each). I took them out of the cups and put them in pots with MG soil after I saturated the soil with water and a very small amount of mg fert (24*8*16).
Ive tried to get them as close to the light as possible..im thinking they might not be close enough...?
They're in my closet with a little fan blowing so they arent weak. As far as CO2, Im talking dirty to them..
I still need to get a thermometer in there.
After some research, I decided I'll keep light on them 24 hrs and plan on keeping it that way until they are about 6 weeks old or when i know the sex, then switch to 18/6. Ill start leaf fertilizing at that time.
Im not going to start fertilizing until maybe another 2 weeks from now, then do it every 3rd day.
When they get about 12-18" tall Im going to induce flowering with 12/12, and slow down fert schedule. (Not sure how often I should fert?) The last 3 weeks Im going to water them with a mix of water and molasses.
Im really concerned about smell and plan on researching that part next. I live in a condo.
Anyway, thats where I am right now...
Any comments and suggestions are VERY welcome...and if you wanna laugh at my ghetto ass set up thats cool, b/c after looking at it, I laughed too..
Please feel free to correct me and my plan if you see something wrong with what I plan on doing.
Thanks!!!!
