Hey!
This is my attempt on a journal documenting this incredible learning experience. I did not start this journal back when we ("we" is me and my wife) planted the seeds so I have to back-date most events in this journal.
I named this journal "A Challenging Grow" since this is exactly what it was (and still is), with an number of really tough challenges we needed to overcome, this including our newbie-ness when it comes to growing but also things like the *extreme* heat here in Spain.
Some Information about Our Grow
We started growing a variety of Autos such as Royal Critical, Royal Kush Auto, Royal Cheese Auto, Northern Lights, AK, Dance World. In the meantime we now have switched to Feminized seeds only and had to ditch the Autos - WHY I will explain shortly. Currently we have feminized Fruit Spirit, AK, Caramel, Dance World growing.
They are vegging right now.
We are growing in a greenhouse on the balcony in very hot Spain. The greenhouse does only get a little direct sunlight in the morning but is otherwise in the shade the entire day. For lights we are using two MarsHydro 300W (60x5W) lights in addition to the natural sunlight the plants are getting. Light schedule 18/6.
The area we use for growing is approx. 1m2 ie. 10.5 sqft (1.20m x 0.85cm) which is roughly half of the greenhouse. The above is a somewhat older picture which should give you a rough idea about the setup.
Soil. We started with universal soil (changed the brand two times) and have now switched to Canna Terra Pro.
We're using standard, "no-thrills" 7L flower pots where I poked holes at the bottom. Together with the MJ we're also growing chillies and other stuff in there. The MJ is in the larger pots.
