Hello 4.20ians. This might be mighty tricky. (Grow equipment attached to know the scale of the task)
(More pictures at the bottom, plus I played at topping one)
This will be first grow, for health reasons obviously ... cos the crap I get sold to smoke in my country is straight butt-hole and is bad for my health. Typically in my country we get sold about a 2 grams of weed for about 50 Cents, might seem cheap but 80% of the "block or bag" is filled with seeds, stems, sticks and leaves barely any bud is in the mix. Another variety is sold for about 2USD for 8grams, the buds are distinct, very small and filled with seeds also dry as microwaved ash. Both get you high for a minute.
A year ago I go a hit from a joint of a friendly and my life changed for good. The puff had taste, got my tongue ice cold and squeezed my throat shut. The aroma was heaven fam. Bliss. He introduced me to his dealer who sold 1 gram of "Loud" for about 14 USD, yup, you read that right 14 big ones for a single gram, 1.2 grams on a happy day. Yo, I live in a 3rd world country aint no way I can afford $14 at my sticks/day rate. So I mix the "Loud" with the cheap bud. Still hits good.
2 Month ago. By now I know Loud is just the name given to weed imported from Canada and South Africa mostly via Ghana. Smoke White Widow, Purple Haze, Lemon something and Pineapple something. I saw a seed in my last "Loud" batch (Lemon something) and placed it in soil and watered it for a few days. Nothing happened, a week later I saw a sprout and went bunkers, I kept drowning it in water till I smothered it to death. I had been dreaming of smoking my own plant, its leaves dropped and started turning yellow it died soon after. Tragic.
Been geeking out on Cannabis growing for about a month now, been through about 15 plants (no shortage of bag seeds). I have finally gotten a plant to first week of Veg but it looks like it would be dead in days (turning lime, lower leaves gone yellow). It has the best root growth of my samples (I always check dead plants, I feel like the roots tell a better story), it has got roots shooting out of it's base and i frequently have to cover the base. Last time I checked for dryness (before watering) I saw roots near the top of the red cup (time to transplant).
My grow setup is 3rd world poor.
- 18w Ctorch LED bulb + 18w CFL EnergySaving Bulb - 6500k and 10000k
- Only potting soil I could get from the mall was something called "Soil Master pure bark" - Read bark is bad for MJ grow but hey mixed it with some soil from a pot laying around my new house.
- Super grow magic liquid fertilizer.

Piss poor I know, nobody grows plant at home in my country, so our malls are not stocked with Hydroponic grow supplies at all. Bat Guano, Fox Farm soils and Nutes are fantasy items for us here, worm casting is absent as well, loads of Urea (eww), still searching for compost. Most folks on this side just plant bag seeds in dirt and get lucky, they dont even know the difference between Female and male plants, they just smoke the leaves and pollen sacs (gross to some, gross to me, cool for some I suppose, gross to me). I also cant get Autoflowering seeds or any seeds from abroad. Sucks for me but I have loads of Land Race and Bag seeds so I plant those and experiment.
Again I said this will be tricky, thus why I joined this forum so the best heads can solve this grow puzzle.
