This is where I start for anyone who will listen to my story. After many months of thinking and reading about cannabis cultivating I wanted to finally try my hand at it and see if I could stop having to pay for something that grows naturally. I had seeds from previous nugs that i bought at a painful price. I usually throw the seeds out but that particular strain made me feel so good I had to save it. I also save more after that from another source but I cant remember what the strain was or felt like. So I am starting with at least 2 different unknowns.
Last Thursday night I got so very motivated to try and grow it so I started with 3 seeds out of the 5 I gathered and used the '24hr soaking in water' germination method. After that I realized that I had no plan for the poor seeds and needed supplies...i.e a growbox!! That night I went out to Walmart and bought a plastic tube, car window reflector, thermometer, and cfl lights. I went to work that evening and built a small growbox for the little seeds to have an environment. I also went to HD that day and spent hours trying to find a proper soil from them. All of the Miracle grow organic soil mixes were gone and I settled on a brand that I really didnt want but it actually is turning out to be ok. The name of it is 'Organics Vigoro: Organic potting mix' and I got it at Home depot. The next day I felt bad and wanted a better soil so I went out to a nursury and got a mix of perlite, top soil, peat moss, and vermiculite. I checked on the seeds that friday evening and I saw they were very ready and put them in the Vigoro soil inside of a peat cup. I have heard good and bad things about those things but I figured I would give them a try. So that is where my journey begins....
I have pictures of my setup. Im also currently in the middle of building their permanent residence and have pictures of that. It is my homemade grow tent that is still under construction. I used PVC pipe and bed sheets as the fabric. I also installed a fan on the side. I still need to made the door but im waiting to get paid again.
Week 1
-------------------------
So tomorrow (Friday) will mark 7 days from seed to now and they have had some ups and downs but they seems to be coming back. I do however have one that I think is dying. I think its cotyledon accidentally got burned on one of the lights earlier this week. This was one of my strongest out of the gate and now he looks like he/she is dying. I dont know what to do. As a newbie I let it get too hot in there on Tuesday and they were all three looking like they were going to die as they laid there wilted and turned away from the light. I then turned the fan on and cut my A/C on a little lower and watered them and then a few minutes later they were doing great.The next morning I put more soil around the base and put some nice fresh air on them and I also added an exhaust fan and two of them have been doing great every since. As day 6 fades I can already see their 2nd set of leaves coming in and im so excited. Here are pictures and I will update often as these plants are all i think about. I want my own bud so bad. Until next time....
This is my seedling growbox i put together for about 35$. The plants seem to like it.
I had to move the fan back because i noticed it was too strong to be directly on them
Inside
Day 5 for my current champion
Day 6: Champion and my last seed of the 3 to sprout are doing very well
(champion is the one that was laying over when she got heat stressed)
Day 6: Beautiful...i hope they are female
Day 6: This is my little trooper that got burned by the light. He is looking pretty weak and not showing any growth, I think he is in shock still. I feel so bad and I hope he pulls through. or she!
Finally this is the grow tent I am working on. This cost about 15$ to mke but im still building on it so it might ending up totaling to something higher.
