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...

Good luck on your first grow. Few things to note for, especially as a new grower: always start your nutes 1/4 than what the company recommends you. Also, make sure you’re ph is within the range and a lot of patience :)

Hey @equilibrium3663! Nice to see another South African on here! I'm growing an auto in Pretoria but I also have two bag seeds which are growing super fast like yours. Looking good! Interesting that you used Nitrosol and so early. I used Seagro and Kelpak also from Builders Warehouse but only at like the end of week 3. What is Nitrosol and what does it compare to that international growers use? Will be following your grow with interest man! Awesome! 💥
