NarcissisticEcho Hello to everyone! It's my first grow, I'm russian, so I'm poor 😁 It will be a very cheap grow, grow box I made by myself, bought very cheap lights e t c. I'm sorry if my cheap method offends anyone, I'd happy to afford a growbox or Mars lights, but I can't. And I want to grow cannabis so much, so much time I have been dreaming of this so I decided to make my dreams come true. I promise to do my best to treat my girl well and not harm her. With your help and by myself. As soon I raise money I will upgrade my setup. I will keep tracking my expences so I could find out is it possible to get a nice crop with big love bud small money. Also I appologize for my mistakes in English in present and in the future, it's not my native language. For now under my tipi are also growing several other plants. Those are seedlings from the seeds I found in the weed that I bought on dangerous streets of Moscow. So I decided to first plant them, before Gorilla Cookie, and If I will want to make an experement with trainings or nutrition I'd notice mistakes and won't harm my Gorilla. So back to my main plant. Gorilla Cookies auto from Fast Buds. I've search a lot to find a strain that I want to be my first cannabis plant in my life. And my choice was Gorilla Cookie. I like Sativa weed and I am high tolerance guy so it fits my decires. Hopefully Moscow is a city where you can buy anything. Despite having weed and growing cannabis is striktly illigal in Russia, still you can buy all the soil, nutrition, seed that are produced all around the world. I bought (always try the best deal and to get a discount %): A Gorilla Cookies auto from Fast buds A small peat pot for seedling stage 20L textile pot 25L Plagron Royalmix Keramzite Voodoo jouce AN Bud Candy AN B-52 AN Flora Tripart starter kit GHE PH down (water in Moscow as hard as russians' hearts) White paper Metal fluffy worms, I don't know it's name Things like glue, tape etc LED 11w full spectrum bulb x 4 A heater carpet Thermometer I already had A blue-red 8w lamp (sharing with an aquarium) A regular heater 400/600 or 1000w (Winters in Moscow as cold as russian's hearts as well) A humidifier Desire and passion. God help me!

Grow Questions

NarcissisticEchostarted grow question 4y ago
How much light does a seedling need? How many watts? Is it better to have one bulb but closer to a plant, or 4 bulbs and higher from a plant? Does it matter how many plants are under the light if they don't shade each other? Do plants "steal" rays so its better to have 1 plant?
Solved
Setup. Lighting

All depends on the type of light you’re using. Seedlings don’t need much at all but later in Veg you’ll need more. Look up PAR or photosynthetically active radiation and PPFD. Photons are almost like a shower head of water hitting the canopy. There’s all types of factors to it. But no other plants aren’t actively stealing the photons. If you have a decent LED light and wanna spend get this app called Photone and it gives you a reading in PPFD from your phones camera. You wanna be around 2-300 umols for seedling 500ish for veg 750-1000 for optimal growth in flower

NarcissisticEcho Do you know this feeling, when you get surrounded with a flame of excitement or inspiration so you may do some stupid things, because your mind is thinking just in half? I know it very well. In a rush I bought the cheapest china-made heating carpet (which is designed to heat plants btw) and payed for it with blood and flesh of my baby plants and of a polished ikea drawer. So I got fire in my flat, yeah. No worries! We already have plenty of snow here, so fire cannot be a real problem until spring at least. Meanwhile I fed my plants with a bit of fertilizers, which was a mistake. Now I know it. I flushed everyone and now give them only water for a little once in 3 days. The Gorilla Cookie has stunned growth, hope she will recover. Other ones... are hopeless, so am I... I'm sorry you're reading this. It may be the most depressing grow diary you ever read. But now I see this diary is the reflection of my life, of my relationships with people and I think I have some problems to deal with. Thank you for beeing with me, my friends

NarcissisticEcho So we recovered from some fire burn and nutrition burn and overwatering and other plagues of Egypt. Did a fim to her and planted some seeds from kitchen spices. I decided to just grow just for fun, without a goal to have big buds or whatever. Just a happy plant with other plants so they have someone to talk with. Peace ✌️

So after I even killed her she still made me happy with some harvest. It's small, but I still feel good, because after so many mistakes made by me she survived! Thank you FAST BUDS for making such a strong strain that can handle a silly newbie like myself!)

Growladyeastmidlands
Your lights are not strong enough get better lights if you want decent buds mate
Growladyeastmidlands
Your plant looks stressed and only partially flowering is environment all ok I'd scrap that and start again good luck growing maybe its the lights no good for flowering and you need better equipment for your babys
