1st Grow due to begin soon. Wish to ask questions to the community

[TrichomeFiend]

Hello again. I have been on hiatus while relocating and buying things for the new apartment. I have also managed to pick up some things for the new grow project I have been putting together every day, little by little.

So far I have... a 1 gallon container of worm castings, bag of bone meal, bag of perlite, bag of vermiculite, bag of sphagnum peat moss. 3 color coated spray bottles, two fans of equal size (8 and a half inches in diameter for incoming/outgoing air, PH testing kit, digital timer, digital room thermometer with humidity readings, mylar for reflective lighting, mylar-like reflective tape to aid in construction of the project, ties; incase I have to train branches..

I am missing a light ( I want something in the 600w range)

Seeds

And I want to ask for some help pertaining to how to prepare the soil for germination and recommendation for soil for vegetation cycle.
I know I can google it, but I would really like some live feedback before I can get started.

Thanks guys.

Thanks so much. How did your first grow go? If you don't mind me asking.

[DaMagoMan]

Very first 30+ yrs ago?

Was in too much of a rush for it to finish and harvested way too early.

First Journaled grow?
Have the third generation of my hand crafted hybrids,
a pure sativa and a few other new ones Indicas and sativas,
averaged 30,ooo grand a yr @ 200/z

And as Mr. Gatewood would say,
"I ain't been indited this week!"

[TrichomeFiend]

Impressive to hear, the years put into it alone is what impresses me!

Speaking of Sativas... I really want to grow some indoors, but they grow much too tall, then there's the smell factor too.

I guess I am really aiming at potency ( quickest hitting/longest lasting ) it's what I strive for when I pick up medicine. be it Sativa or Indica

I'm smoking on this right now. I took the picture awhile back, though. I do still have about a quarter left. (too good to smoke it quickly)

Herojuana

Tastes like hash in a way, kind of piney but not so much, more like a faded, light pine taste.
The high is pretty powerful and is one of the strains I smoke slowly and not too often since it lasts awhile and hits pretty quick.

I took this on a 10 mega pixel Cannon Eos 40d.

Nice

Thanks,
there are more than me with more activity of the the same period.
Some of the best US growers have been assholes and elbows for that long and longer.

I take a lot of pride in the fact that I have never had Med strains
But what I Produce is right there with them, even after 3 generations.

I hear you, man. I am trying to find out what the organic craze is about. I hear smoothest taste, best potency and best looking buds when done fully organic and that 2 weeks flushing prior to harvest is a god send.

Anytime I read about growing "proper" weed, I hear about flushing 2 weeks, so I'm gonna really emphasize that.

Anyhow. I'm half done rolling this Tulip, so I'm gonna finish that and install the water cooling on my new rig.

I appreciate the conversation and I hope to talk to you again soon.
