Welcome to my first grow journal!
For several years now, towards the end of summer, I've wished I planted a few seeds earlier on in the year. This year I remembered to.
My main aims in doing this grow are to start to experience and learn about 420 cultivation, the plant and its growth etc.
With a bit of luck, I'll get some bud too.
Other than the seeds, I plan to use readily available gardening products and see what happens.
Location: Outdoors, in the sheltered parts of a garden in the south-west of the UK
Strains (both from Dutch Passion Seeds):
Auto Duck - hybrid of Fresian Duck and an Auto White Widow - a camouflaged plant, with fan leaves that look a bit like a duck's webbed foot. Up to 13 week life cycle outdoors. A hardy plant which has a chance with the challenges of a northern European summer.
Auto Critical Orange Punch - hybrid of Orange Punch and an Auto Kritical Bilbo - 85-90 days from seed outdoors. As I don't have access to a greenhouse, this is a bit of a gamble on a dry August. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...
Containers: 8 litre plant pots
Medium - Coco Coir Lightweight Container and Basket Compost (Doff). The main reason for choosing this was the weight of the medium (I don't have a car).
Nutrients: Miracle-Gro All Purpose Water Soluble Plant (the blue powdered stuff, 24-8-16). The main reason for choosing Miracle-Gro was to avoid becoming paralysed-by-analysis - there is sooo much choice in sytems / methods / media / nutrients etc. - can always change later (?).
The grow was started seven weeks ago, so the first few entries in the journal will be playing catch up.
