Just drop a bean and get started. Most of what your questioning will answer it self along the way. And things you never considered will confound and confuse you. That being said I have never enjoyed a hobby as much as growing my own weed. So read, read, read and just start growing. Next thing ya know you will be smoking homegrown.
No, feminized means all the plants will be female. Regular seeds would have both males and females. Autoflower means the plants will start budding without a light schedule change. The opposite would be a photoperiod, which require a light schedule change to trigger them into budding.
I donāt know if Phil had anything specific in mind, but generally when OGers say pay me back later, it would mean send me any good seeds you may make/ run into in the futureā¦
Btw, welcome to OG brother, you will love it hereā¦
Iād agree, slow down on your watering, every 5-7 days max, looking at the pic id almost guess they been watered daily or every other day, let things dry out more between and get em into some regular potting mix since itās already sprouted and taken off
And regarding the waterā¦ I dont think i have watered them much except day before yesterday as i fed them nutes because they were lookin dryā¦ Other then that i fed 5-6 spoons of water in 2-3 days when i saw the upper soil dried.
Are u planning on doing soil organics or coco and liquid nutes?
Coco peat and perlite donāt have any nutrition, to keep it simple Iād just do a soil organics grow to start, much less to baby sit. since u donāt seem to mind making ur own mix Iād suggest a blend of 50% compost(what will feed the plants, I personally prefer mushroom compost but any will do) 25% peat OR coco(prefer coco of the two as it absorbs water better) and 25% perlite.
This gives u a balanced soil with food, good water retention and good aeration and drainage and is affordable to make
Get em into the new soil mix, a light watering and leave em for a week to grow and start to tell you their needs
So i should get compost thenā¦ Because i thought i ll go with coco and perlite onlyā¦ Because i already have all the nutesā¦ Like micro, gro, bloom, calmag
For a first grow I think ur trying to start off to complicated, also Autoflowers only require a fraction of the nutrition a photoperiod would require which is gonna throw ur feedings way off and most likely over do it.
Iād suggest simplifying it getting into a bagged soil or the mix I mentioned and just let nature do the rest aside from weekly waterings
Did some research on what bagged soil is available in your area and came up with this that looks pretty good to use
If you wanna go the coco perlite route, Iād suggest you go to cocoforcannabis.com and do some reading.
Coco coir requires washing and buffering. This is considering the coir available where u live is low ec but unbuffered.
Hope this helpsā¦
Edit: since itās ur first time growing, in order to not really complicate things, @AzSeaindooin420 has given some pretty good advice on how to get started. The nutes u have can be used. Just make sure you do regular watering with plain water in between feedings since itās soil.
