Hey, I was sorting a bunch of photos from my current grows and I came upon shots of my first grow that were never published. These were mandala satori, which started at 10 seeds, whittled down to 5 female plants that eventually yielded 20 mason jars of weed. The grow took a while, 1.5 months vegging (delay in re potting keeping them stunted) and almost 75 days flowering.
So here it is, my first grow.
Seedlings:
I started the seedlings under a bank of 6 CFLs and eventually transplanted those little square pots to these peat ones. In retrospect I do not like these biodegradable peat products. Jiffy Pots are an exception, I love them and use them often, but the bio peat pots are too constricting. Go with coco pots if you must but its plastic for my money, easy in and out and its endlessly reusable.
Also plants in the stage above don't need any fertilizer, these guys are in Fox Farms ocean forest soil which provide adequate nutrition. Furthermore I left them in those little peat pots for about a month while my stoned ass got my flowering room together and they still only began to show signs of nute deficiency.
Next chapter, HID and a new room!
