This past week has been a steep learning curve for me, having never planted anything in my life. I have acquired much knowledge now from communities such as this and from Google research. I'm definitely what most would call a noob, therefore my methods may have many a grower on this site cringe. I have planted 6 seeds in total, all of which have germinated. 1 of the seeds is definitely Haze, as I purchased it from a reputable seller. The other 5 seeds could be Durban Poison or some other local (South African) Swazi or Skunk weed, I'm not sure. These are bag seeds after all and this being my first attempt, I didn't want to actually spend money on the expensive seeds. Anyhow, my substrate is 50/50 Potting Soil and Compost which I purchased pre-packed so I'm not sure of the exact components (ie, perlite, coco coir, etc) I went with planting the seeds directly into the pots (I can feel your eyes rolling) because I'm a noob, but at least I'm a lucky noob and all 6 seeds have sprouted. I've been feeding 1 litre of water per day for the past week and the plants seem to be reacting well but I guess only time will tell. 17/10/18 - I managed to find the website for the products I used. Potting Soil - https://www.grovidasa.co.za/product/grovida-potting-mix-30dm3/ Compost - https://www.grovidasa.co.za/product/grovida-compost-30-dm3/ Fertiliser - https://www.grovidasa.co.za/product/khula-kahle-2-3-2-22-granular-all-purpose-general/ Over and onward...

Not much changes this week. Continued feeding 1l of water per pot each day during the scorching hot days. There were some rainy days at the end of last week which I didn't water the plants on. Yesterday (27/10/18) I mixed a couple drops of the below product with 1l of water and fed to each plant in the hopes of boosting their growth. https://www.builders.co.za/Garden-%26-Outdoor-Living/Garden/Fertilizers/Plant-Food/Nitrosol-K2673-%28200ml%29/p/000000000000036851 Growth wise, plants seem healthy for now, I will add more pictures next week when they don't look so underaged... as it is cannabis is illegal in most countries...
