Let me introduce myself.
I am a retired Senior and I have grown African Violets under lights for 5 years.
I have the usual bunch of physical afflictions for my age and decided to investigate to try and find out if medical marijunana would be useful.
After researching how to grow I bought Top 44 seeds from a reputable Dutch company and of the 5 seeds I planted all sprouted.
These seedlings are now about 6 inches tall and are branching out nicely.
I am use a wicking or passive hydroponic system under pretty strong 'soft light' compact flurorescents with the timer set for about 17 hours a day.
I have been using houseplant fertilizer but will soon switch to an more advanced A/B system specific to growing weed.
The grow area is lined with mylar and is not much bigger than a tall cardboard box.
I have added a small computer fan to circulate the air and have just order some ONA gel to deal with the odor.
The plants are gowing like the weeds they are. I am surprised by their vigorous growth and I'm a little worried that they might get too tall for their grow space.
I have room vertically but not so much horizontally. When I find out which plants are male I expect I'll have more room.
I am wondering if I should try to force bloom earlier? As I mentioned they are only 6 to 7 inches tall at present.
My though to let them reach 12 inches and then shorten the light to 12 hours a day and add a small incandescent to get some red light going.
