Hey guys
I am from the Western Cape in South Africa and have been growing two outdoor plants for a friend of mine, both were bag seed from pretty decent greenhouse that we smoked before. I studied Horticulture first and now am in my final year doing finance and accounting, so i have some idea on how to grow plants xD but still learning about cannabis!
I have done all the research i can and have been growing these babies since last year September which is when we start spring here. So i have adhered to the proper time to plant seed etc.
A quick outline as to what my strategy has been so far, is we have one of the plants in about a 5 to 10 litre pot, which is about 1.5 gallons in US terms lol, and then the other pot is about 40 litres which is around 10 gallons.
As far as fertilizing goes i focused on high Nitrogen and Phosphorus for the veg phase, everything is organic, have added pellets and also liquid form, fish meal etc.
Soil mix was a mixture of bark chips and well draining soil with compost obtained from a trustworthy source and i mixed it myself. It drains fantastically
As soon as the plants started to flower and show their white pistils i began fertilizing with Bio Bloom fertilizer which has all the necessary micro and macro nutrients as well as amino acids and molasses. Also added epsom salts to the mix for a few waterings then stopped when the plants started to look really awesome.
We fertilize the plants twice a week with the bio bloom mix and a tablespoon of molasses and they are getting fatter by the day!
