This is the first time I'm seriously growing. The first time I tried to grow - my wife confronted me because she was scared of getting caught - because it is still not legalized around here. I randomly planted the seedlings around the home and couldn't tend to them - because I didn't have freedom to do so.
I have collected some seeds from stuff I have smoked. The weed around here has so many seeds - because the grow culture (and knowledge) here is very primitive - they rarely leave a plant to grow rich buds - and most of the time harvest just a week after they start seeing flowers. The good stuff in usually imported from either India or US/Europe and they cost much more. The Indian stuff is heavily adulterated. And the other good stuff is hard to come by.
A colleague of mine has successfully grown a good harvest last year with seeds I gave. I don't know what strain they are. Only thing I know is that they came from Kerala - India where they cultivated from some Kush seeds and heavily dried and post treated (supposedly to make it hit stronger).
With the nationwide lock-down, I'm having daytime at home to grow some weed myself. I'm unable to get sunlight during 11 AM to 1:30 PM. I can give natural sunlight to my plants from 8:30 AM to 11 AM and then from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. For other times I have made a grow cabinet with a 100W incandescent lamp above it. I covered all 4 sides inside with some reflective material I already had around.
At this stage I'm trying to give >22 hours of light. I wouldn't have access to sophisticated fertilizers during these days. But I would be able to get some common garden fertilizes. Those fertilizers usually come in two varieties and people those are called "vegetative fertilizer" and "flowering fertilizer".
I started growing in these small clay pots 5" diameter and 3.5" depth. So far I have 3 seedlings.
I'll post more photos in near future. Your feedback is much appreciated.
