All hands on deck! Here I go for what is probably gonna be my last grow for a while. I'm moving places next spring and I gotta see what,if any, setup is possible in the new place.
I have three grows under my belt, all soil grows that have been more or less compromised at some point. I've had problems with pH, which has caused nutrient uptake problems and so on. Each grow has been better than the earlier ones though, and the last one yielded pretty nicely in the end, mostly I think thanks to the robust "Critical" genetics by RQS.
This grow is gonna be two Barney's Farm "Gorilla Zkittlez" fem seeds in one 15 gallon fabric container. The soil is a mix of homemade compost (kitchen scrap mostly,natural worm castings), pre-limed and fertilized organic peat moss, and some 20% of aeration (I'm not sure in what form yet). I've amended the soil mix with composted chicken manure, hardwood ash, blood meal, bone meal, bat guano, 10/2% cal/mag marble dust, nettle tea and liquid kelp meal. I aim for this to be an "only add water"- grow. I won't touch the water pH, it's what comes out of the tap: the nominal pH in the water report is over 8.0, but I've gotten readings of under 7.0 with my ph meter.
I grow in a closet where the max height for the plants is about 5 feet, so I'm gonna go for a scrog setup. My light is a Mars Hydro II Pro Cree 350W. I've been really happy with it during my last grow.
I dropped the seeds today on some wet coffee filter paper sitting in a plastic box on top of some wet tissue paper. I plan to drop the germinated seeds straight into the big final container. I'll post pics once they pop.
I have a good feeling about this one!
