The eldest has left home, there’s an empty room….we had a few weeks of who was going to have the room and the use it was for, we both had strong arguments and it all came down to a coin toss……..
LETS MAKE SOME LITTLE GREEN BABIES!!!
Being an absolute beginner at growing during these weeks I’ve done research, read up on criteria, the ins and outs, I don’t claim to know absolutely enough, but enough to start germination last night (Aug 3) and hope that by the end of this little experience/experiment, that I would of gained a lot that helps toward a adventure where I know what my cannabis strains are and not just “weed” as my research and endless hours of reading should help my knowledge of growing and just a better understanding of cannabis in general. Getting the actual benefits of growing your own cannabis is just a bonus in itself, no more just stuffing the buds in a pipe or in a joint but also the extras of being able to do more with the plant itself, growing the different strains, the strains flowering differently, giving off different colours/smells, that’s something I’m looking forward to, you know what I mean…my wife says I waffle too much, I think she forgets at times that we do prefer sativa during the days😂…Anyway……
Tent:
doesn’t matter it’s sh*t…I fcuked up and will be replacing on the next grow 😏🙈😂
Light: Viparspectra V600
seemed like a reasonable choice, guess we’ll find out, the best thing is I can daisy chain if I like the light and decide to invest more in the future.
Soil: 70% Biobizz light mix
30% Perlite
Nutrients: Biobizz
I was torn between between the canna and Biobizz products if I’m honest, so I just went with a basic indoor pack from Biobizz, I feel I may need to add more from their product range but I’m not bothered about that.
So here we go, feel free to comment, give tips, help if you see anything that I don’t, as I will be updating regularly…thanks 🙂🤘🏴
3rd Aug Started germination in damp paper towels checked every 12 hours moistened if necessary, ran 48 hour tent setup, ran into high humidity issues during 6hr darkness, alarm was driving me crazy 🤯, finally solved by opening extra vent and no light leaks…looking good 👍
5th Aug tap roots around 3/4 cm after 48 hours, hope this is long enough, soil is moist, seeds went in, lightly covered, sprayed with a mister, on with some cut up plastic bottle tops for extra humidity around the grow area and fingers crossed 🤞
8th Aug woke up this morning with signs of life, both these ladies had broken surface sometime over the past 24 hours, both with cotyledons and just about spouting their first leafs, I guess germination is over so that ends this chapter! 😊🤘🏴
These LED lights come with veg and bloom switches, obviously I’ll be using veg for veg stage, but is it worth using bloom only during flower or using full spectrum with both switches on?
Defo from uk with the haze and the dog on the go haha try the photo over the auto next time bro well better in size. Can pull 6plus oz off a plant with the photos. Autos are more like 2oz a plant. Yooo good luck tho bro I hope u kill it and get as much as u can off them
Ah that cute snooty... getting a bit grey too, but arent they the most loyal great dogs... Great diary!! Congrats on your harvest! Well done!! Enjoy and see you on the next one!! 👌💪🙏
@BioBuds, she’s a gem brother, loves the fan leaves too, she’s always snooping when it’s plant time 😂. Thanks for the comment man, really impressed so far with this one, they’ll be trimmed and put away tomorrow so hopefully another successful harvest 🤞🌱🤘😊🏴
