absolutely no worries. I am going to set my water out tonight, and start soaking my seeds tomorrow. Hopefully by Monday I should get them into the seedling substrate and keeping them humid until the first leaves form. I got my grow area set up so I should be all good for the first 2 weeks at...

MasterDabbin, love the name! So I have asked a couple of questions about this also. What I have heard mostly is that 24/0 can stress the plant quite a bit, and as a newbie its better to start an 18/6 schedule. From what I also understand, 18/6 is all you need to keep inducing the vegetative...

Definitely I was thinking of a plastic tarp cover for the outdoor grow, kind of like a greenhouse, not covering them in a plastic bag. The land I have is pretty steep, I couldn´t tell you the angle of percentage, but from a horizontal standpoint, 5´horizontally out is about a 4´ or 5´ drop on...

Yes Mon! thanks for the reply. So i decided over the weekend to veg inside and set outside to begin with. I don´t have ANYTHING at the moment, and want to first get something under my belt to show myself I can actually grow. I am going to start with Cannabiogen Nepal Highland, it seems to be...

Everything i read says to use newspapers, but aren´t the inks harmful? And sorry if this is ignorant, but isn´t everything made of carbon anyway? There has to be a susbtitute for the newspaper, right? I thought the newspaper was to help with moisture levels

What exactly can you throw in for theworms to eat? I have read citrusfruits are no good, but wouldnt coffee be as acidic as citrus? I also am questioning what the inks of the newspaper do compared with other organic materials. Its a great way to recycle newspapers, but wouldnt hayor alfalfa be...

Very very cool, this lifts my spirits, I appreciate it. I don´t know any growers in the area, but I have tried getting information from a message board here (a colombian website). Unfortunately nobody uses the ferts or grow substrates that I do, they are not easy to come by and most people...

I read on a thread that some people use apples, bananas, and kiwis for making homemade fertilizer for flowering. I am going to try it, but have no idea how well it works. They say it works best for flowering and should be used as any other fertilizer during flowering stage. The original...

Thanks for the info. We finally got a seedbank here and I got a bunch of cannabiogen seeds. I too was looking at the Mandala selection, but decided not to order. My wife´s father has inside information on customs here, and he was telling me how they are able to sniff out seeds and confiscate...

If I plant in the ground, the soil is very acidic, but its brown and a bit clay filled. it doesn´t look like the black soil I grew up with in the midwest of the states. I don´t know much about soil types, I have read about loam, sandy soils, etc, but couldn´t get my head wrapped around what...

I was thinking the same thing. Since I have enough space for two plants, and its tall enough for about 6´of growth vertically, only about 2´ of growth horizontally. but I´m afraid of the organic supplements, bone meal and blood meal to be exact, to attract critters ranging from killer ants to...

The drainage I think is alright. With the perlite it seems to drain well, but the peat seems to keep things moist for a few more days than I thought. My first grow was with soil and the sun dried it out quick like, every couple of days. With my base mix and nute addatives, after I water it...

Thanks for the ideas. I will look into the litmus paper idea later this afternoon, and look for some information on how to use them. Any helpful hints in using them? I don´t think I could distinguish between 2 month old manure and 1 year old manure. it rains here so often and at different...

Yo, love your posts cabra, good information and experiences I can learn from. I´ve been an expat now for ten years and am starting something along your scale. Some of the questions are hilarious, so many people don´t understand that living in a third world country CAN be like living in a first...

Hey y´all. I´m new at this and can´t seem to get things right. i´ve tried 2 different grows from bagseed, the seedlings start well, retransplanting goes well at first, but in the end it all comes out small with not enough to even harvest. I live at 5° N, 2250m and mountains all around, with...
