Day 0. So i start with old seeds, will try to make it . Seeds are more tgan 1 year old. Those seeds are from event i won. Will upload photos with original package. I have grown even 7 years old seeds, so i hope they will make it too. Plagron Green Sensation i got from a win in event here, so i will use it 4sure. I will run 1 seed without it vs 1 seed with it vs 1 seed with everything i have from Plagron, just for my own curiosity and research . This grow is special for me. I normally got everything from Mars Hydro for free, here all equipment is bought, despite that i had same things, but i gave all my equipment away during my time in UK ... New beginning !!! Will try to blend my own soil, all ingredients are bought from simple Agro shop. It will be mix of garden soils, peat, perlite. I plan to add cheap mycorrhizae too, i just can't afford my standart ingredients, so i will test how good cheap version will work. Nutrients i plan to use - all i can and have. Will enrich soil with slow release nutes from Ecothrive, during grow will use mainly S&R Organics brand from Germany ( i won a bit of them in events here ) and as extras will be Plagron. Calcium nitrate, mono potassium, wood ash, epsom salt , everything i have - will go in at certain stages .Hope it will work. Water will be biggest issue, thats summer time house and water is supplied during summers only, so for beginning it will be bottled water from shop, later rain water if i will manage to collect enough. Only during last month i plan to have steady supply of it from tap. Ecothrive - Neutralise will be used to prevent chlorines, ph will be adjusted too. Popped seeds. Hopefully all will wake up. Used seedlings gardening soil from Agro shop. Used half of the bag for 18 seeds, so each pot cost like 5 Euro cents . Used plastic containers from sour cream, so it cost 0. Made like 6-8 holes on the bottom for draining. 100 ml to each pot. Covered with plastic. Still no light, will put it on on day 2. Temps around 20 , humidity 50%, used wet towel to raise it from 30. Cheap way, but always delivers, think tomorrow ill see even 60 , when all room will setup. All vents are closed, no fans yet. 100 ml of 6.5 phed water in Day 2. Still no life, humidity low. Resoaked towel and hanged back. 50 ml of phed water in. Lights on ! No timer yet, will keep this week under 24/0, then will switch to 18/6. Mars gave humidity and temps indicator and timer together with light, was pleasantly surprised, when they sent this light for test, there was none. Made DIY humidity dome from frost fleece. Day 4. First girl out ! 3 seeds total, but she was first even from all 18 i try to start. Will be updated very soon ! Happy Growing !!!

Good luck with your new recipes, mate! There are two brands I really like here in Europe for solid amendments – one is EcoForce - Cultivers, and the other is MycoTerra, in case you want to check them out. 😉 As for mycorrhizae, I’ve also been searching for alternative options that offer a good balance between price, quantity, and quality – but no luck so far. I still think the best cost-benefit option is Mykos from Xtreme Gardening.

I think last thing I saw was your secret, hands off, outdoor grow. Will be interesting to see indoors. Have fun :)
