Hello everyone =] i am new here and a first time grower. I germinated some seeds for my first grow i germinated six seeds from some decent regs that i acquired. so far i have them in 6 cups (holes in the bottom for drainage). I planted them all on 1/1/09.
i figured i would try my best to start a journal. and get tips and tricks along the way. this really is a full blown experiment for me. Unfortunately my Space is small. (you will see in my pics soon, but i will be doubling my space height wise because i know when i go to flower my plants will double in height)
Sadly right now i am only working with one cfl (i know i need alot more) i have a nice fan that i attached to my space for circulation that i switched on finally on 1/7/09. I am not using any nutes really, because i cant afford them right now.
My grow medium came from my own backyard. It seems to be doing good for what it is. it came from one of my compost piles that has since then turned into dirt (i lived here for 14 years) so hopefully it works. i did jar it and place it in a pressure cooker in case anything was alive in it. and it seems to be doing good.
What i yield is not so important to me at this point in time. because i am trying to just get the hang of things for now. i am working with a light cycle of 18/6 and will continue to do so 0unless you suggest 22-24 then i can change it up. I turn my light on at 12 am and keep it on until 6pm on the dot every day.
I hope i am giving enough information for you all. and i know i am a complete noob. but please be gentle lol. Thank you for looking and reading. all input is welcome of course positive or negative. thanks again!
happy smoking!
