My First grow attempt was a total epic failure..Here are the mistakes I madeThe first thing was I started with too many plants..smaller is better makes it easier to start out, it is cheaper to buy supplies and fewer plants mean more individualized attention. My new grow will have no more than 3 plants, and they will be grown at different stages Until I get the science of growing down, all my seeds will be bagseeds that I have saved up over 2 years...once I got it down I will be getting the best seeds I can get for sure though..Second mistake I made was over medicating and over adjusting my plants with nutrients, and adjusing the ph too much..I solved this problem by buying a soil ph tester, it was cheap like 10 bucks too. I also bought a moisture meter because I was overwatering as well. I am using Shultz general liquid fertalizer..the mix is perfect 10-15-10 and all I will have to do is get my water ph to 6.5 and add 3 drops of shultz..I say keep it simple stupid aka the kiss principle. I know we are not supposed to transplant, but I will take the delay in growth so I can monitor my root ball and make sure it's right..again using bagseed here lol. My goal here is to learn and produce quality smoke eventually. I bought a book called "Marijuana Buds For Less" by SeeMoreBuds..that will be my main guide, along with this wonderful forum Now for the particulars of my "micro" grow..
I have one "bagseed beauty" plant..the first seed I planted was a dud..but my second seed has cracked and produced a taproot. I am using one 42 watt cfl and a 4 inch self watering pot. I put the seed straight in the soil, at 1/4 inch deep. I have the plant sitting 2 inches away from my light and the light is staying on for 24 hours until it pops thru the soil. When it pops thru the soil I will post pics and label my grow by days...In the mean time, wish me luck
