Hey all! First time grower, long time smoker.
The availability of pot in my country is very limited and I'm getting really bored of hash, so I decided to grow my own. I'm convinced I can do it without spending a fortune on supplies, but only time and TLC will tell.
I started off buying some Caramalicious seeds (10 +20 free assorted seeds), which are the same as Redolent420 bought. After planting the seeds (next time I'll germinate) in small cups and after a week, the first ones popped up, and in all 7 of the 10 sprouted. Which i guess is OK. Then after 3 weeks I replanted them in 3 gallon pots with a 50/50 mix of top soil and humus. Some of the bottom leaves started turing brown, so I tested the PH of both the topsoil mixture and the water which both turned out to be about 6. After spreading a little lime, the PH rose to a nice 7 and the leaves are nice and green.
Well, here they are about 5 - 6 weeks old. They're not as bushy as Redolent420's, but after all, my light source is 93 million miles away. Right now we get about 17 hours of daylight here in northern europe and of those, my plants get 6 hours of direct sunlight. So what do you think? Any advice is much appriciated.
I'm just not sure how often or how much water/fertilizer I should be giving them as they grow. Are there any guidelines I should be following?
