hi i just wrote a really long first grow entry but i closed the window by mistake and lost everything
i will try and keep this short and sweet for the time being, i wrote so much before i dont think i can do it again right now. im still mad at myself.
anyhow its an autoflowering fem greenomatic. this is my 3rd grow, the first one produced average bud but i didnt have all the supplies and nutes etc bc i live in a developing country and alot of stuff is hard to come by and has to be imported or brought back on trips.
the seedling came out today, i usually leave the seed in water, in the dark, for a day and then plant into a final growing pot/bucket. i find this is best way to germinate.
will be using grow micro bloom with big bud.
have 4 white cfls for veg, 2 x 55w and 2 x45w and an hps for flowering. cant remember if its 400 or 250 watts but i'll get back to you. its been a while since i used it...
right now plants are on 20/4 light schedule.
soil is my best garden soil mixed with a little perlite and old manure. soil here is naturally more alkaline and holds too much water so i find perlite helps alot. i also have been flushing and turning the soil over for the last week before i planted. i also gave it a very light dose of grow micro bloom a week ago so that the soil has some base nutrients already...
here are the pics, i apologize for the quality since i took them with my bb
as you can see, i put my lights pretty close to the seedling. probably shouldnt be touching the soil but so far no problems. seedling just came out today and it seems like a healthy bugger
please feel free to add any criticisms, advice, comments and questions... thanks
will update as soon as there are any noticable changes, Thanks
