Hi everyone!
So instead of posting out there in the help section, i've decided to get a grow journal going. Seems to be a little better than clogging up the wrong section.
Here I have some seedlings growing that seem to be just entering/about to enter veg. I picked these seeds up off a friend who grows & stupid me - didn't bother to ask what strain they were. Judging by the smoke I had afterwards with him - i'm going to assume it's Indica dominant (I'd absolutely love it if it turned out to be Sativa dominant though!). However don't take my word for it as I was also drunk at the time; and we all know that drink before grass puts you flat on your ass.
Anyway, about the grow. I'm growing outdoors & as organic as I possibly can. With all the things that go into commercial quantities around the dirty streets, I just want to trust what i'm smoking. I've had some trouble with them growing not as fast as i'd like and that's partly my fault. I fear i've stunted their growth by keeping them in small pots for too long during their younger seedling stage. One seems to have recovered nicely and seems to be taking off a little faster - meanwhile the other youngster is stuck. Perhaps it's a daylight issue?
To counter this issue i've literally just set up a room with a large CFL light where I can move them (not too far from their outside home) when the sun goes down and leave them under the light. I'll need to monitor them over the next few nights to make sure that they like the extra light. The larger one which appears to be doing better has also just developed a beautiful fruity smell!
As for pH and everything else technical, I haven't payed too much attention to. I will probably buy a pH testing kit very soon though. I'm not out for large yeilds as this is my first grow and i'm only getting my feet wet. This is all for personal use too, so I don't need to worry too much.
Here's some images before re-potting when their roots had no room to go.
Images after re-potting (a few of days ago).
Images of them under the CFL lights right now!
The room isn't a professional grow room or anything as you can see - it's just a light source that I already had and it seems to fit the description of what I need so I made some quick modifications to the room's setup and voila!
Any comments or tips are greatly appreciated!
I'd love all the help I can get - keeping in mind this grow is first time, low-key, low-cost, personal use & outdoor!
Thanks guys! I'll post updates as they come!
