hello!
I've recently moved to the legal grow state of Massachusetts, USA. Got some seeds from the 2017 Boston CannaCon, and grow supplies from a local supply store.
This is my first grow and I've read so much that I've lost all retention of any real knowledge on how to go about this...so I'm wingin' it!
My goals are to stop overanalyzing, try to just be patient, learn, and hopefully smoke my own grown weed (and eat? if i figure out/learn/can make edibles or whatever; i'd like to be able to use the entire plant one day if that's a thing)
THE SETUP:
4 seeds were placed directly in soil today. (!!!) Started to soak them in distilled water in a covered, clean shot glass...but then after adding the soil to the planter cups I decided to just go for it. Watered the soil with distilled before and after placing the seeds in.
T5s are ~ 5 inches away from soil. Mainly for warmth. Also just to see how the whole setup feels. It's been around 77 degrees F in there, ~ 60% humidity. May leave them on for a few weeks.
Added water to an old coffee can and stuck that near the pots in a quick half-assed attempt to keep moisture in.
Fan is sucking air out and into the carbon filter. Basically to try to keep air moving in the tent, and see how it runs/sounds/well we can not bump into it. Fan and filter are vented outside of the tent, after watching some of theGrowBoss' videos on ventilation. Good stuff; brought clarity on a lot of set up fundamentals.
Washed the tent floor, pots, and planters with soap and water right before setting up.
TECHNIQUE:
May try to ScROG. May just see what happens with good ol' soil and lights.
