Ok, my first grow in a long long time! Last grow was in the early 80’s! Outdoor grow with bag seeds…
I started with three Blue Dream seeds, two didn’t make it, this last one is my only plant growing.
I started in 5 gallon pails. In hindsight, I would start in smaller pots And transplant as they outgrow the pots…
I used a locally sourced organic potting mix, again, lesson learned, shoulda went heavy on the perlite with this soil…
I’m watching this forum and learning as I go.
I’m supplementing with an npk mix heavier on nitrogen end…
I just have her a nice drink of water and some epsoms salt and am thinking I am a couple weeks out from switching my light cycle…
I’m currently at 18/6, keeping my little grow room at about 86 degrees with light and dropping to the mid to upper 70’s in the dark.
I started LST with a string grid, like many I have seen but a lot uglier!
I have counted about 2 dozen bud sites and all are at about the same height from the lights.
I’m only running about 300w of lights so I’m thinking I might should Switch my light cycle sooner?
I am already working on a new grow space, it’s clear I need more room to move around, get these pots on wheels with their own frame for running a string grid. I saw a very slick one on someone’s post here abouts.
So space and more lighting are on my next list
for my next grow.
I think I’m gonna go with the coco coir next time… I have the time to check on my grow regularly so I think I’ll give that a shot. @Afgvet has a good grow going and I have been following that thread, I like what I see!
All that said, hopefully I can get a couple ounces from this first plant!
