I am about 12 days into growing, this is my second attempt, my previous try i started to late and with no money at the time i couldnt afford a proper set up; nor a suitable place because of secruity purposes ..
so heres the rough way i started..even knowing what season just begun i got the idea to finally become serious to begin growing my own plant. I began germenation on one seed (yes one seed, i will soon be germenating more once i see how well my grow set up works. Im crossing my fingers its a female and grows alright without to many bumps in the road) i started sep 25 on a morning, did the whole germination process but used the sun the entire 4 days before the root popped finally out. I then put the seedling in a pot which had previously had another plant thats been dead for quite some time now, picked out most roots from the old plant, moved the soil around, there is little but enough fertiliser to grow my seedling into what it is today. i have been using the suns rays for the past 11 days to grow my plant i know it wont last long with it... So today a bought a 48in fixture that holds 2 bulbs, 4, 40watt cfl lights (2 cool white 3050lumens/6500k-2 warm 3400lumens/3000k)
i will be getting more supplies this weekend im trying to get some guidence on what i should buy and if i need to take anything back, im already taking the cool whites back, as one of the bulbs doesnt work (you get what you pay for huh) what type of food should i feed my plant, i know your supposed to keep about 1-4 inches away from the top of the plant with a cfl, should i buy more bulbs for when it grows alittle taller (wanna harvest at 4ft in height so id start flowering when its bout 2ft) my main concern is the food and nuetruients as i dont know where to begin when it comes to that im alittle tight on expense anything below the 70 dollar range would be great, also im wondering the way ive treated it so far will it be alright? hope someone actualy reads this and heplps me out. thanks much il try to upload a pic of the plant and setup, we will see if i can upload it with an iphone...itl have to wait til im on a desktop
