Welcome to my second journal.
I am an Englishman living in Greece. This region is where they say the gods themselves took their holidays. This summer I attempted my first ever cannabis grow, outside of course, and thanks to the fabulous 420 cavalry, ended up with a harvest with which the Teddy household is very happy.
Now autumn is deeply here, and whilst my last, beautiful plant fights the wind and rain to finish outside, one's thoughts turn to a winter harvest.
You are most welcome to My Greek Indoor Grow.
There will I can promise you be tragedy and comedy, tears and laughter. And in the fifth act, not wishing to ruin the ending (*spoiler alert*), there will be buds. The interesting thing is how we get there. And I hope, as I did this summer, to learn a great deal from you all.
Shall we get the formalities out of the way?
What strain is it? 1 Blueberry, 1 Mazar, 1 Master Kush
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? All Indica; Blueberry has 20% Sativa. I was advised by that great guru here, OldManMed, that Indicas are best for what I want to try — topping and LST. (Mrs Teddy thinks I will be very good at this because, she says, I can be very fussy and precise. I'm sure I don't know what she means. Really. That was so rude.)
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? My God, man. They're seeds, they're seeds.
If in Veg... For how long? I've told you already.
If in Flower stage... For how long? Stop asking me.
Indoor or outdoor? O for Heaven's sake, read the tread title.
Soil or Hydro? OK. Sensible question. Soil.
If soil... what is in your mix? Remember, I'm in the middle of Eden which does not have shops selling fancy stuff like Yum Yum and Mexican Bat Guarno. Nor does it allow imports. Seeds will be in a commercial, organic, premium potting compost mixed with plenty of perlite. When potted on I shall detail my veg soil mix. I am trying to follow PeeJay's soil principles and whilst without access to the actual branded stuff, I can at least attempt to replicate the idea.
If soil... What size pot? Airpots as recommended by Lembatoast. (Great, great journal). 12.5litre. (About 4 US gallons.)
Size of light? Seedlings are under the 4 biggest CFLs I could find here — x2 40W and x2 30W. Daylight spectrum at 6,400K. I read that seedlings can have problems under the intensity of LEDs. So once they are robust it will be on with the PlantinumLED P450. If it ever clears customs. Without a police escort.
Is it aircooled? Cooling will not be necessary, Captain. Heating will be.
Temp of Room/cab? I've been running the tent empty whilst germinating to start to get a grip on the environment. So far it's been easy to keep a constant 24C (75F) at 45% RH. As I understand it, these figures are in the right range.
RH of Room/cab? Aren't you listening? I just told you. That's it. I'm saying nothing else until my lawyer gets here.
PH of media or res? Here I follow Relaxed Lester amongst others and just don't worry about it directly. The right soil is the right soil. And I bring the water up from the mountain spring of St. Haralambos. (Older readers know this story.)
Any Pests ? Yes. Two adopted Nazi Greek kittens. They think the tent is their new toy. What fun it is patting those hanging CFLs. It's all so shiney. Mr Teddy was so nice to buy this for us.
How often are you watering? Hey, they're seedlings. Shouldn't that be "How little are you watering?"
Type and strength of ferts used? We'll deal with that at the appropriate time. Now get me my lawyer.
Details of tent set up with pics tomorrow.
Mr Teddy
FOOTNOTE: Just checked under the plate to water the seeds. All 3 are showing a cheeky little tap-root. Tonight we sleep and tomorrow we pot.

So happy to wake up here to see you all. Thank you for popping in. Unlike my first journal, I can now offer you some 
Please just help yourselves and we'll get this show on the road.
Subbed, somebody else want a go 
for you next to the lights. Going to need your expertise. 
OMM Really feel safer about this with you around. 
Temp in the tent is 23 to 24C - that's 75-77F in good old English money. 
JL. I know you know what you're doing indoors too. Thank God I've got The Doctor here.
