Hello forum

[jaybirdz]

I started reading this forum a couple weeks ago to increase my knowledge on plant cultivation. Having enjoyed the shared knowledge here maybe one day I can pay it forward and contribute something that may help another grower.

Hi Tok, thanks for your reply. I've grown mainly outdoor vegetable gardens, experimented with various irrigation methods, soil composting etc.. Looking at indoor growing now, currently researching LED lights, seed vendors and such.

I did put together a cool little seed germination apparatus with CFL lights that is showing promise. Maybe I'll post a pic and description in the DIY subform for feedback.

Will probably view your links under your sig too.

Welcome jaybirdz! You're about to have some canna growing fun!

 

[Tokin Roll]

@jaybirdz If you want to learn indoor growing you have come to the right place. I am currently doing DWC Hydro, but you may want to check out some of @StoneOtter work.

Will you be growing cannabis or hemp?

Or, researching technic's?

Going to work my way towards cannabis, before germinating seeds I'd like a sound, proven environment first. I thought about the idea of having a "control plant" within my grow room. A non-cannabis plant that has similar cannabis requirements (water PH, soil PH, light requirements, nutrients etc..). If my "control plant" thrives in this environment I think my chances for a good first crop of cannabis will be greater. Also it may assist in troubleshooting problems I encounter with my cannabis plants.

I've been drawn to hydroponics but more to aquaponics for many years but haven't attempted yet. Even have a few books on the subject. A closed loop aquaponics system, fish providing organic nutrients for cannabis, cannabis filtering the water for the fish would be a righteous goal. Imagine the value of a feeder goldfish?

Did you grow in soil before your DWC Hydro setup?

 

[Tokin Roll]

Yes, and I enjoyed it watching the development in soil and my step will be LOS, coming soon.

Once, I started DWC I also like the development but so, it's a lot faster.

Still looking for my smooth groove.

Also, sorry I have not tried

aquaponics

but I am interested in the concept. Will be looking for you in Journals in progress.

Stay safe and grow well my friend,

Sounds like me when I started I wanted to try it all, ended up back in soil, Fox Farms soils and their nutrients it's easy low maintenance, and almost grows the plants for you

Thanks for the welcome Kanda,

are you willing to share your "homemade super soil" recipe? Amazing outdoor grow!

 

[Mekwarrick]

Just joined today, I’m a new ebb and flow grower, looking for good place to ask questions about my baby’s and meet other growers..

 

[Kanda]

I use Subcool’s second recipe. You should find it listed in whole in my 2020 outdoor green crack adventures.
ill take a peek to make sure it’s there for you. It works well for me outdoors in bags and in the ground and indoors as well.

 

[Kanda]

I just went to take a peek. Recipe is in the “new chapter” journal at the beginning.

Hi skunksa, thanks for your offer of help with CoCo, I'll keep you and Bill in mind if I choose that direction. As a new grower I plan to ease into soil and using my own organic formula, then try DWC or RDWC later on. I have two unopened bags of Hydroton clay pellets I want to use.

Thanks Kanda, I found it.
