So like I said in the title, I am new to RIU and new to growing. I have been smoking on and off for years now, but always had an interest in growing. I had never really attempted to grow anything, maybe a few bag seeds in the woods (eaten by deer), but a month ago that all changed.
After reading countless articles, blogs, magazines, and books I decided I was ready for a small stealth grow. Below is what I decided on .
· Aerogarden 7 pod- I wasnt completely comfortable with doing outdoors, and wasnt looking to drop a lot of money on an indoor system, and after reading about the aerogarden it sounded perfect.
· Organic grow sponges used in aerogardem pods, and seeds germinated in these as well.
· Green House Seeds; Green-O-Matic feminized first grow, this seemed best due to low grow height and not having to worry about correctly sexing my plants.
· FoxFarm 3 quart trio pack
· Natural oxygen rocks found these rocks at a local pet store for fish tanks
· Bottled spring water
I ended up setting this garden up in a small closet.
To start I tried germinating 3 seeds in these aerogarden sponges I found, and only 1 ever sprouted. The one that did sprout took a week to do so, and the two that didnt were pulled at week 2. Since my sprout was sooo small I decided to germinate two more seeds using the paper towel method. I germinated both seeds, but only 1 sprouted after being transferred with tweezers to the aerogarden grow sponges.
The first seedling had such a slow start; they are about the same size, so for date purposes lets call today day 16.
Nuets were first added on day 14.
I dont know what else to start off telling you all, but please ask away. I have attached two pics (shitty camera phone pics sorry) but if this journal starts up ill bust out the real camera.
Both pics were taken today.
Pic 1 the seedling from the first germination attempt.
