Hi Everyone,
First off i am new here, this will be my first post! Such a great community and i look forward to learning and hopefully providing as much as i can!
This will be my first controlled grow, other plant's have been all natural outdoor with no human intervention beside planting the seed!
Beginning of the week i germinated 10 seed's total 6 in a glass of water the other four using the paper towel method just as a comparison both are pretty 99% effective provided you have good seeds. All the seeds im using are bag seed's from some of the best I've had, no point in buying right now as this will be a learning experience.
These are the four germinated using the paper towel method:
I started these as a spur of the moment thing, i still need to build my grow space, my place is quite small so space is limited so a micro grow cab or dare i say a PC case grow may be on the card's until then i am going to have to make use of natural light.
I bought some 50 / 50 coco perlite mix some time back for a grow that i never started along with some EHG Grow, Bloom & Micro nutrients. All of which i will be making use of for this grow.
I found some seedling trays in the garden that fit perfectly into my tray, cleaned them out with boiling water and filled with my medium. To moisten i used normal tap water left to stand for about a day, poured into the medium just until a small amount of run off was produced.
Using a pencil i made about half to an inch holes in the centre of the medium dropped the seeds in tap root facing down and carefully covered.
Sprouting has begun!!
With that all said now i am at the point where im not sure what to do next, I've been pouring in a capful of normal water just to keep things nice and moist when necessary. But when do i start using nutes? how do i mix and measure them up?
Looking forward to this journey! Happy growing!
