Hi everyone!
So this is going to be my first grow; i'm really excited and would like to share my first growing experience with the rest of the cannabis community. I'm going to be growing the well-known strain Northern Lights. These are going to be autoflowering feminized seeds. I purchased my seeds from herbiesheadshop 2 days ago; they arrived this morning (Would definitely recommend them!). I'm going to be updating every few weeks or so at the different stages of my plants life...
Germination
Seedling
(It's an Autoflower so it skips vegetation stage)
Pre-Flowering
Flowering
Maturity
Harvest
Drying/Curing
Germination
So I've just placed my seeds into a damp piece of kitchen roll, and then placed the kitchen roll into a sandwich bag for germination! They are currently in a room with humidity 53% and temperature of 16°C.
When these seeds root's break through tomorrow or a few days after, I will be putting them into 5 liter pots. This is my first grow so I've went with a cheap lighting system; I'll be using;
"45Watt LED Grow Light Hydroponic Plant Veg Flower Indoor Full Spectrum Panel Lamp"
The light schedule that I have decided to go with is 18/6; the reason I went with this schedule is because I've read about how Autoflower's don't depend on light as much as Photoperiod plants do. This should give my plants some time to rest and replenish their energy.
Nutrients
I'm going to be using "Tomato Plant Food" and "Baby Bio For Herbs" for my plants extra nutrients. I'll be using the "Baby Bio For Herbs" for the growth stage; and then the "Tomato Plant Food" for the Flowering stage to help my bud development.
Any opinions on my lighting and/or nutrients would be really appreciated.
OK so here's a quick update about my grow;
I decided to take a picture of my starting grow box; I say "starting" because it's only temporary for around a week or so until I can get my final grow box made. Also I need to get a cover for the front of my box to contain much needed heat for my plant.
Grow Box
I also took a picture of my seed that is currently germinating; the temperature was fine, but the humidity was a bit low. Obviously the humidity within the sandwich bag will be higher, but i'm still a bit concerned about my seed. My seed's been in there for around 20 hours, so I expect a root to break through either later on today or early tomorrow morning!
Germinating Seed
My light was supposed to arrive yesterday but it still hasn't been delivered. I've contacted the owner of the light to get the situation resolved; hopefully it'll arrive in a few days so I can get this grow started!
As I said before I'll keep updating my grow every few weeks or so.
