@darren @BIGE the wheatgrass is basically winter wheat or red wheat I think are the other names. My wife is having some stomach issues and it was recommended that my wife add wheatgrass to her homemade fruit drinks. We canāt find it locally but it is really easy to grow. Basically as it grows you cut it off and add it to the blender.
The wheatgrass drink is a little much for me but itās not bad added to something with more flavor!

The next issue I faced was that I am moving my grow out to a shed in the back yard. It was used as a pool house and storage etc.
I measured it and it is basically 7 feet x 7 feet. At the center it is 80 inches high and the sides are 72 inches high so I ordered a 3x3 mylar grow tent from the lowest bidder on ebay.
That will give me room enough for three plants to get going!
I also have this small indoor greenhouse that I can use for cloning etc.

I actually have a much larger shed that I will be working on this summer. It is full of junk and needs a new roof. So I will put the roof on soon and then start cleaning it out.
It already has a heater in it (for the late fall and early spring, not sure if I can go 365 in there or notā¦) and I will need to insulate the walls, but that will make a fine grow room.
The 3x3 will become the clone and starter tent and then Iām gonna build the big room using rigid foam insulation and some other tricks and tips from my friends. We will get into all of that as the grow progresses.
If you are a tinkerer or a fix it guy and you feel like getting the grow setup and all is the fun part, then stick around.
Weāre gonna be growing, cloning, constructing andā¦ maybe even harvesting!
@ragnar @Donaldj I meant to tag you guys up at the top, but figured better now than never!

@Ragnar Iām still taking notes on your experience and @willd and all you guys that are blazing the trail for me. One of the blueberry autos is going outside, but more on that later!
The wheatgrass has to soak for 48 hours and Iām supposed to dump the water they are in and give them fresh water. I have a gallon of filtered tap water that I drew a week ago and has been airing out. So I will swap the water out tonight at 8pm.
Ps. Just saw my local true value has Happy Frog and Ocean Forest on sale for $14.99 for 1.5 Cu Ft. Regular $20.99

I already have three 300 watt equivalent led lights that I had in anticipation of this new grow. Iām gonna need one more light at some point but I will address that when the time comes.

@darren Iām just soaking my seeds in pH water. Once they get a tail into the starter pots they go. Itās just a bit different way than the moist paper towels. Iāve seen folks doing them this way, thought Iād give it a shot!

Ok thanks my friend, i have heard that soaking them for 24 hours before putting them in the tissue can help ,have you seen the grows with the big round brown things on top of their pots? If you or anyone else knows could you explain what thatās all about

Thanks for the add. I definitely want to follow. Maybe I should start a journal as well, seeing as how I just sprouted 1 GL fem to go with my two Sour Diesels.
