This is my first grow ever. I’ve done some outdoor non-canbabis gardening, but I’ve never grown anything inside, or grown cannabis before. I spent about two months reading everything I could get my hands on, and watching videos about growing.
I wanted to concentrate on the plants, rather than nutrients, so I decided to go the super soil route. I used a 50/50 mix of Fox Farms Ocean Forest and Coco Loco, along with Kindsoil in the bottom 1/3 of the fabric pot. In future grows, I'm sure I will use nutes instead of super soil, but this being my first grow, I wanted to experience the plants and not stress out about if I was over or underfeeding. I am planning on doing some LST, but wee will see what happens.
I sawed up an old pallet to 3x3 to use as a riser to keep the pot off the ground. This left plenty of room for fans, etc..
I used plain old apple cider vinegar to lower the ph of my dechlorinated tap water. A little goes a long way.
I germinated the seed in a rapid rooter, which I placed directly in the final pot.
I added Great White to get some beneficial fungi and bacteria in the soil.
This seed took 4 days to pop through the top of the soil level, and seems to be going strong.
I am growing this with three other plants: Fastbud's Girl Scout Cookies, Glue Auto, and Wedding Cheesecake.
I watered about 1/3 to 1/2 cup a day around the plant, and another cup around the edge of the pot to help keep humidity up.
NOTE: as I said this is my first grow, so I expected to make a few mistakes. The first was accidentally plugging my fan into the timer instead of the lights. I discovered this on day 7. I doubt it affected anything.
Also used in tent:
AC Infinity CLOUDLINE S6, Quiet 6” Inline Duct Fan
G HYDRO 6 Inch Air Carbon Filter
2 - Honeywell HT-900 TurboForce Air Circulator Fan
Comfort Zone CZ6C 6-inch Quiet Portable Indoor 2-Speed Desk Fan
Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Didn’t use the heater...just the fan)
Good luck with your grow! I'm getting good results from my Seedsman NL Auto. Seedsman seems to have good genetics. Just don't do what I did and overwater early!
@sbrosgrow, Yes, I water them everyday...a little bit.
For example, Day 9 I gave her 2/3 of a cup of water poured around the rapid rooter (not directly on the plant). Additionally, I poured one extra cup along the rim of the pot to help with the RH.
@@DrBoom, hmm okay, i had read method where i pre soaked the soil and then germinated in the final pot. Took about 4 days to pop through. I've got one Auto SD that looks great but my Auto NL idk if anything is wrong but to me something doesn't seem right. Maybe it needs more water or something, but I haven't given it its second drink yet. Gonna probably do that today. I've just seen some other pictures of this strain and now my little guy feels behind the curve haha
@sbrosgrow,Yes, with very small amounts. About 1/3-2/3 cup per day. I don't want to drown the plant and I want the roots to seek out water. From what I see so far, you just have to eyeball it.
