Starting of my 2012 season rather late but not discouraged. The two strains I will be growing are white widow(2) and Northern Lights(3) from Nirvana seed bank. I started the germination of them today using the old paper towel method.
Soil
2 parts regular potting soil
1 part miracle grow with the fertilizer mixed in
1 part cow manure
1 part peat moss
All mixed in 5 gallon buckets with holes drilled in bottom for drainage
Nutes
For the first month I will rely on the nutrients provided in the cow manure and the small amount in the miracle grow
For the remainder of the veg state I will use miracle grow mix in water nutes at a 3-1-2 ratio
The water will be tap water left to evaporate for 24 hours plus and any water i get from the rain
Setup
All 5 gallon buckets will be buried up to the brim in the ground and will be LST to minimize the height and size.
This will give me about 6-8 hours indirect light and 4-6 direct depending on the conditions.
After they finish germination I will grow them in plastic cups for a couple of days and then put them in their final spot or start them in their final spot after germination. Could use advice on this
Is there anything I forgot, any advice on what to change? anything would be appreciated. Thanks for your time
