Wooohooo! After a long break, it's finally time to grow again!!! I'm so excited as I have dearly missed growing.
However, I will up the stakes by running two grows simultaneously this time around. My tents are small, though, and only have a couple of plants per tent, so it should be fine.
I'm growing in living soil based on my own blend, which essentially is a slightly modified coots mix with added biochar and mycorrhiza. I use red clover and alfalfa as cover crops, and I will be using only water with some compost tea on a (semi) regular basis throughout the entire grow.
I've upgraded to larger pots in my main tent and will be running an experiment with small pots in the smaller tent.
Besides the pots, I've added WLAN sockets to my tents as they both allow remote control, and I can ditch the light timer.
I also did a complete rebuild of both tents to get rid of stuff that annoyed me and to improve usability and workflow. When you have such small tents, you must maximize the space by utilizing it as effectively as possible.
I will grow a 1:1 CBD:THC photo strain in my main tent. I'm growing it primarily for my girlfriend, who has an autoimmune disease, but I have to admit that I also have an ulterior motive: to get her more involved and interested in my hobby. I had her pick out which seeds from the pack, and after 24 hours of soaking, she planted the seeds today. So far, so good. ๐
On the other hand, I will grow some Autos in small pots in my smaller tent as an experiment. I want to see if it will be possible to take an Auto from start to finish in such a small container without feeding it any additional nutrients besides the occasional compost tea.
D1 - Yesterday I put the seeds into a glass of water and left them for 24 hours in a dark place. Today it was time for planting but I'm a lazy bugger and have no patience to deal with up-potting so I always plant directly in the final container.
I like to roll the soaked seeds into Mycorrhizal inoculant before planting as well as adding some to each seed hole. The soil itself is inoculated since previously.
After planting, I placed humidity domes on each pot to create a better microclimate for the seedlings.
@love_2_grow, only if it throws you into a hulk-like rage I believe. I am not a doctor though, and if you do turn green, go see a doctor, please. I think we have the power to make tiny greatness!
Good Luck with your grow Buddy. I like feeling out the plants with the lights I have a table that I adjust up and down because I grow a
multiple plants at different ages during Veg.
@Sour_D, Same here buddy! She has been chilling in the drying tent for 6 days now. A few more days and then a couple of weeks of cure. Still a while to go but getting closer to that first puff :D
