Hey everyone…. Or no one
Just making a diary mostly for myself. I am super new to growing, I have 2 grows under my belt total …. If you don’t count planting bag seed along a fence behind a garage when I was a teen.
With that said, my first grow was a few clones from a relative. Needless to say one plant did “ok” the other was a mess, but got a decent return of ok bud. 2nd grow was half outdoor and half greenhouse, I basically built the greenhouse around my outdoor grow lol THAT grow did pretty darn good I must say, and has me really excited for this year.
A few things up front…. I’m not terribly good at writing these things or thinking small things are worth posting so I end up not posting much. I’ll try to remedy that. And while I completely love any advice given me, but I’m one of those guys who has to do what their mind says even if against the established norms. It’s not any disrespect to anyone, it’s just how I learn. I have to prove to myself I was wrong lol . So I welcome advice but please don’t feel offended if I don’t take the advice. It’s logged in my head and I can take the advice given and weigh it to the course of action I took (right or wrong) and that’s how I learn
Ok onto the grow.
I just discovered this amazing site …. Heck a few months ago? And has changed my direction of thinking. My second grow was fem seeds from ILGM and as I stated they did great. But discovering this place has made me see that I might want to get my seeds elsewhere, and so I have…. With the exception of one Chocolope seed which was my wife’s favorite from my second grow.
The rest is a mish mash of seedlings…… I have Fleur Du Mal seeds … the Durban Mix, the Cinderella Mix, the freebie pack of Indiana Bubblegum, and @darkillusion “sour 13” that I won.
The final plants are yet to be determined based on survival and sex lol. I think I under germinated quantity wise … and may need to do a few late starters… .
Again, im learning and it’s my first time using regular seeds and not feminized. Should have started a few extra lol
I also went the route of making my own soil this year using the Kis nutrient pack. Interested in seeing how that works out.
The final homes will be 15 gallon fabric pots from ac infinity. Seem pretty quality. Im hoping for 8 good plants, which is up from 6 last year.
I use supplemental UV light for flowering, my greenhouse plastic has UV inhibitors so figured I’d supplement it. Some say I don’t need to … others say I do… I have ‘em, im using them.
Im going to try to use rainwater to water the plants as I don’t want to use treated water from the city…. And reverse osmosis water is expensive and I believe lacks “stuff” I might want.
With that said… here’s a few pics to where im at currently. Will edit to add more pics from phone lol
