Hey, this will be my first Grow. Thankfully Legalization in Germany made this possible. I will grow 3 different Strains Outdoors because my Parents have a huge garden.
I build my own Pots and then used a Recipe from Zamnesia.com to mix my own Soil. It consists:
200l of compost
225l of peat moss
140l of coco
100l of perlite
bat guano, azomite, dolomite, epsom salt, horse manure, rock phosphate, blood meal, bone meal and humic acid.
I added some hay as mulch to minimize evaporation and it worked pretty well as i did not water the pots and there was still moisture in it after 4 days at around 28°C and direct sun all day. I also added a few extra plants to the pots for symbiosis.
I germinated the seeds indoors in 1l Pots with a germinating mix from my local garden center. Dutch Passion had an article on their blog and i used this method. It worked perfect as all seeds germinated between 30 and 40 hours. The plants are sitting now under my 100w full spectrum led for the next 3 weeks.
