Hi everyone.
I`m new to this (and forums in general) forum. I dont want to participate in my country`s forums, that is Finland, because the athmosphere isnt good there. Its all about dissing eatch other, everyone wants to know best etc. But i noticed that in these international sites people honestly try to help and be ..i dont know how to say..when you build stuff and dont tear it down..as you see English is not mo mother tongue but i try hard but i understand English very well.
I dont do alcohol or drugs, but ive smoked huge amounts of HASH in the 90`s, now i wanna know what really good bud is like and i dont wanna know any dealers so i make my own. In Finland there isnt very much bud, almost all is hash, sometimes good, mostly mediocre..but people grow more all the time so its gonna be better i think. I just wanna smoke and listen to music or go fishing or watch a movie when high, but i have problems with hyperactivity so i want to try if weed could help with this. The docs dont help here in these cases, they dont know enough. Just prescribes you sedatives or something.
I tried growing two times, but failed to respect good advice and didnt pay attention to watering, ph, light distance etc and i burned and drowned my first two grows. I did get one good joint..but now i do it properly and thats why i need you people!
Anyway, heres how it starts. I try to add photos too.
I ordered three seeds, royal`s sweet skunk. Thats my main grow. Then in my second grow space i try to grow under (i think theyre called CFL:s) two or three plants, but i dont know the strain. Just for fun. Anyway this journal is about the LED and SKUNK. And theres about 9 of those CFL`s. Not very good but a friend once made bud with like four of those.
I try to follow much of this advice that i found. Thats simple and good i think:
A simple guide to growing Autoflowers in soil (stickied post until I figure out the sidebar!) : Autoflowers
Strain: Royal Sweet Cheese feminized autoflower
Light: 120 LED, mostly red and blue
Three pots of 12 litres. In those i put The soil in the photo with the nute values. Its for indoors plants in a wide array, and its ORGANIC. It doesnt have anything fancy like worm castings..but it has chicken poo Its the best i found, not huge amounts of nutes, but tell me if thats not good!
Gonna run the LED 18/6 from start to harvest
I have small fan, temp monitor and a CO2 bag (Exhale co2).
I have an badass water spraying can which makes a very fine mist, lige fog almost, no big drops. But i dont know if theres a need to spray at all and if, when? Usually plants like a little spray now and then..maybe pure spring water only?
I`m gonna add like 30% of perlite, but is it wise to add vermiculite too?
At the bottom of the pots i made 5 bigger holes and 8 small ones. On the bottom i put pieces of broken cheramic plates to cover the holes, so the (I DONT KNOW what its in English, those brown light small balls that look like rabbit poo, i bet you know what i mean) dont fall out - to keep a good drainage system at the bottom. I have rinsed the "rabbit poo" with tap water. They cover the plate bits and 1-2 cm on top of that.
Then the Soil-Perlite (vermiculite too?) mixture in, so that it almost fills the whole pot all the way up.
Then i water and prepare the soil like in the grow guide i linked. I dont use tap water at all, because i think my tap water is not good for the plants for some reason so im gonna do probablly the whole grow with SPRING water, yes. Its PH is 7,0. But everything that goes in the pot i adjust to 6,5 with ph Down and if needed, up with baking soda.
I dont have any of those voodoo juice or stuff, but i have Nitrozyme. Would it be good to add some, and if, when??
Herbert.fi - Nitrozyme 100ml
Anyway, when i get the seeds, i plant them straight into the big pots. No pot transferring here. Plastic on, and when the first spiked leaves are out i take the plastic away and put the pots under my CFL`s for the first couple of days or a week or two, because i think my LED is too intensive. Then when they have a couple sets of leafs, i put them under the LED. I try to be very careful with watering this time because over watering killed my last two grows. But the small Royal Haze i had, i smoked it when it was dieing and it kicked my brain into an other galaxy. When i get better im gonna do some haze again.
Thats about it for now. I hope they grow, i really do because i try hard. How does it sound, people? I really, really appreciate ALL help and opinions i can get. Peace!!! And sorry my camera is shit, gotta get a new one just for this grow.
