After being a long-time reader of Overgrow have decided to join esp. since I’m getting ready for my first-ever indoor grow. Would like some feedback on whether I’m be biting off too much for my first effort in terms of growing difficulty or just “too much going on” I’ve been a home winemaker over the years, have done well and was able to avoid glaring beginner errors in that effort. Ready to hear that there are no analogies to cannabis growing skills though. I’ve also been around other’s grows over the years and just reconnected with a friend who has been growing greenhouse the last 11 years. I have limited space and a 4 x 4 grow tent Here is what I’d like to grow, 2 female plants of each:
- NYC Haze (Top Dawg)
- Twin Peaks (Lucky Dog)
- Puck Yeah (Coastal)
- TBD but an OG Kush of some type (love aroma/flavor profiles that feature roasted coffee (torrefaction) tones with citrus/piney layered over the top) from a quality breeder like the ones above.
Is this too much to bite off for a first grow? It’s not scale I’m worried about, but growing 4 different strains at once. I realize they’ll all have different watering/nutrient//pruning requirements. It’s also in my nature to keep detailed notes. Since all will be regular seeds I’ll have to germinate multiples of each to ensure identification of 2 females. How many seeds should be popped? Have read that regular seeds are ideally 50/50 male/female but at OG I’ve seen reports of more males than females in a seed pop. What can I do with any males that pop given my small set-up? Would hate to toss them but obviously I’m nowhere near the experience level to utilize them for breeding. Not set up with multiple grow tents for pollinations anyway.
So many cool seeds out there is what I blame for these problems!!!
Thx.
