Hello, and welcome to my latest grow. Let's see if I can make it work this time. I'm also writing it as something of a journal. Maybe it'll be nice to read.
I'm growing afghani, maybe white widow, and a bunch of random bag seed. They are now in plastic cups just sprouting. I'll post the numbers in a bit. Have been annoyed by my expensive white widow seeds having a terrible germination rate. Like 1/10, and it was a male. The other seeds have a great germ rate, so I don't think it's me. Maybe I should contact the seller?
I'm growing in my closet, in a tiny apartment. I bought a grow tent (arriving shortly) that's 22x36x63 inches, which I will put in my closet. I think it's a good size, and it's the first time I've gotten a tent. Looking forward to the greater control afforded me.
Ideally this will be a final soil grow for me. One plant from this grow could become a mother for a small hydro/aero/hempy setup. The grow time is much better, and the control over the process is so nice. I would do a 420fied style grow every time if I had the space/money. Anyway.
For soil I've got a commercial organic potting mix: 1/2 soil, 1/2 peat, perlite, and some limestone. Hm, I'll have to keep an eye on pH. Maybe I'll switch when I repot.
I'm using CFLs. Got some big red ones, but not enough blue ones. Going to have to pick up a pack of the blue ones for the veg cycle.
Lastly, I've got some flower food. Organic, chicken poop derived pellets, 5-3-2.5. Hrm. It was cheap, but should I get a liquid fert or will this do? And how should I apply it?
Anyway, I've got a DSLR w/ 100mm macro and a penchant for photography, so I'm hoping to give you some real pretty pictures.
