Hi peeps.
I've been lurking around here for quite roughly a month now, and quietly gathering info for my first grow. To be honest, I never gave a second thought to growing cannabis before. But things changed last year, my wife was diagnosed with Lupus and suffers from terrible aches and pains, can't even get out of bed some days. I see the suffering and I can't sit idly by and do nothing as she consumes boxes and boxes of Oxycontin and Endone. Particularly the anti-inflamms like Plaquenil that do help her joint pain, but will eventually cause her to go blind. Also, her cancer markers are getting higher and higher with each blood test.
So, here I am. I have purchased the tent, heaters etc, all except the lights of which I will be buying 3 reflectors from SmokeSara asap. I wanted to get a leg up now as I am about to kick this whole thing off in the next week or so, so would like to catalogue right from the start even before I germinate.
So, I have:
Things to get:
The strain is Durga Mata, but I also have Cookies Kush as a freebie which is high in THC. I think that will be good for her pain.
It is an Indica/Sativa strain, 90/10 respectively.
This will be an indoor grow.
I will be doing a soil grow, I'll need some help here
They will be grown in 5 gallon pots.
Lights will be LEDs. 3 x 144x3 reflectors.
The room will be aircooled, but it's the middle of winter right now so I'll need to heat.
Type and strength of ferts used? Will be needing help with this too.
This setup I will keep for my veg, I have plans to get another tent and lights for flower. I was thinking about a 1.5x1.5 (5x5x7) tent for that, but I still have time to make those decisions.
I'm really looking forward to this, something that I can pour some creativity into, and help my wife at the same time.
Thanks for all your help in advance!
