Hi all! this is my first grow. After putting a cab together, i have received my seeds and planted them straight in soil yesterday morning 5/21/2010.
What strain is it? White Castle
Nirvana's White Castle is an F1 marijuana hybrid of two absolute winners. With a White Widow mother and our award-winning Ice for a father, White Castle marijuana seeds are as outrageous as one would expect. The sturdier, denser structure of Ice really thickens up the often light and wispy White Widow buds. White Widow's flavour, strength, and social high remain very present in this cannabis strain. Medical marijuana users are extremely fond of White Castle for its pain-killing properties.
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Seedling
If soil... what is in your mix? miracle gro potting mix
If soil... What size pot? 1 gallon
Size of light? 250w HPS
Is it aircooled? makeshift vented
Temp of Room/cab? with lights out, 76F and at 50% humidity
After receiving the seeds, I got my pots ready, flushed them with some tap water as the miracle gro had been sitting and people keep scaring me with stories of miracle gro (FF seems like it is preferred, but also costs some $$. I then gave them a good soaking with distilled water and in went the seeds.
Of course, I was a bit overzealous earlier today and gently scooped up the soil around the seed to take a peek, and a brilliant white taproot showed itself, so I gently put it back in. It's the bottom right one.
So, here I am. I'm not quite sure how far to put the lights from the plant once they sprout, from reading it seems if my hand wont get burnt, then the plants hsould be ok so I plan on going by that rule. I would like to get a couple CFLs to supplement, but am on a tight budget so not sure if I will be able to. The CFL tutorial here is great.
I was going to run a 20/4 cycle with the HPS lights, will start as soon as I get the girls protuding form the soil.
I have limited time for posting, as I am trying to take all precautions I can. Only me and my wife know about the grow attempt. The cab is in an office away from where anyone but us would go.
Anyways, here I am, I can hopefully post some pics once I get some something besides dirt to take pictures of all comments welcome, I love reading the boards at coffee shops.
Peace!
P.S. what happened to the 420 girls?
