Hi all, have a great day and I hope I won’t be boring xD
I’m not really self confident by nature but I work on it, thanks, that is why I didn’t join sooner, in fact I already had a tiny culture going on (under a desk, 250W and the pot was an aquarium full of soil), and harvested some flowers with a good taste but near zero effects, these were seeds from a weedbag, then I had a good genetic by a “friend” which revealed to be a foe, I had to get rid of everything because of his bla bla bla.
Aaannd that is why I didn’t grow anything for years but now, as I bought a house with my girlfriend and have a big garden, but it’s not legal to grow here in my country (you won’t have my name) so I’ll start indoor, and in some sun when there is sun.
I have much HPS lamps and fans and had an electric formation (not my actual job, but I kept the passion 
) so I have everything in hands to start indoors.
I won’t be really active on the long term, I have spare time until July (edit: September as my economic firing is taking time, the company I work in is trying all it can do to stretch delays but it’s confirmed 
) I got to find another job after that, the company for which I work is crashing.
For your information I smoke paid hash since I’m 15, and am over 30 now)
So the new story is my tiny secret garden, only my wife (not married but 15 years long relationship, and it’s so far so gooood) knows about it, and only her (and you, readers) knows about it.
So I built a tiny box in a wooden closet to start some seeds, and select some future mother plants, and I threw some seeds (White Skunk, from sensi seeds)
And after some days, 7th June (to keep trace of its age), magic happens
But, I always been unlucky enough to not be surprised when others don’t show up, so I keep moisturising dirt by spraying water, but now it’s too long, so I’ll call customer service and see. (Finally I called them, once they told me to wait some days, and I never called again, as seeds were too small, compared to all seed I saw, and not dark enough for me to feel them as mature, nor selected, I don’t want to get other seeds from them, and they won’t refund, only send again 
).
I also ordered new seeds to try, and in case the survivor is a male (I’m not the lucky guy generally, now you know… -_-)!

So 1seed of each 10 varieties (cheapest indicas) from KC, hope they do better, maybe I pooped the germination, but I’ll be more careful, not just directly into plain commercial soil (I’m not only unlucky but I have here been naive ^^)
Now the plant has well grown, and I already trimmed bigger leaves to let the light get to the tiny burgeons under, I pinched the apex regularly to boost side stems, so theses leaves were not formed well anyways, and I know for sure it can handle it. (I already tried, and even if I got nothing good in the end, I know that stress while training early will dissipate with vegetative maturation if i let some time pass without stressing it more afterwards)
And today I just got her bent down again to produce side branches, it’s supposed to become a mother plant, so I want to take cuttings as soon as possible (will do this under aquarium water and led light) and here is it doing limbo (and yoga stretching (not flowering stretch))under the good old sun :
So, here we are for now, it is not much, but much waited (by me, but I will call down ^^)
And it’s not finished, my wife and I have planted fruits and vegetables, and aromatics, there’s the place (anyone willing to put a chair here is welcome 
)
And where we will had some flowers (already here when we came)
There you got the potatoes bucket (not profitable but still rewarding to consume what you have grown, as is homemade weed)
Then young mint cutling
Followed by a tiny raspberry bush
Then sweet potatoes
I don’t remember this one (
oops)
Then a beautiful basil
Here is the parsley
Which together with basil and mint gave a nice toping for pizza yesterday night 
Here are the strawberries !
And tomatoes (old strains and “money maker”)
Zucchini
Seed run for white radish seeds
And Daikon raddishes in plain soil
Now the tiny mangrove tree over aquarium
Aaaand (proud of this one) a sapling from it :
I forgot these squashes, there’s 5 others like it
I try to use rain water when possible
Plants I saved from when I worked in a supermarket :
And my best follower and fan, the only one that I want to be followed by (apart my wife, of course), she’s a real cream, or honey, she (yes “she”, not “it”, in france you won’t call a pet as an item but as a living being ! Now I’m finally proud to be french) never barks nor bite, always willing to play, gentle and well educated with very much love and she renders it multiplied by 200% 
Alas, she has been bit through the ear by our neighbour’s dogs, always barking, they piss everyone off in neighborhood (I heard some “shut the fuck up” for other neighbours) so I’m reinforcing the grill between them with old steel plates, it’s ugly but hell of it, I’ll put some view covers on it and voilà, my wife (bitten a bit also) and my dog and even children of our guests will be at peace (I don’t care much about myself, I can handle it appropriately, I ended barking (in Arab language, as in Tunisia I had to learn to yell at wild dogs (-_- they’re so much neglected by humans there, and cats also) at them (pretty much like “go away”, but with the terrific voice )and they ran away without asking anymore, but I broke my throat 
)
So here we are, nice and cosy if not for neighbours, but it’s finally home, much work ahead to get it proper (and paid, it’s on a bank credit, I earn my life enough (not with my electric lessons, but my experience in shops and restoration, I “made myself” instead of simply following (would have been simpler, but Iwhu make it simple when you can make it complex ?) my dad’s computer (and communication) engineer heirloom, that I rejected because he tried to impose it on me (he also tried to give me a religious (Islam) education, but I turned my back on it, since I have a problem with authority, and he was very authoritative about it (and lessons but he couldn’t say much, after divorcing my mom ( that’s surely a part why I didn’t follow his path, and when I took the power electronics way, he told me that he began with it so I left it (-_- yeah, I know I’m stubborn, but I kept it as a passion, I love hacking and crafting, and I’ll still be proud to be able to do something many people won’t take time and patience to do) )but nothing is like home, moreover when you are over 30 and need freedom since long time xD
Thanks for reading, have a good day and see you soon 
Edit: she (the plant) tries to get back up already, only 2 hours after I like her motivation
not worth it
it will be a smaaall update since I have not much to show for now, but it’ll grow as nature does it’s job.
. Plants explode in the Octopot system
thanks a lot, I will still try to build it myself, as they may be a bit expensive for me (can’t afford 50$ a pot at this time, but in the long run I will certainly buy some) but again thanks for the advice, I take it !
