Hey guys ,
So I have decided to grow my own Marijuana plant and before I start I need some help.
Here is where I am at currently :
I have never growen anything before....I once threw some carrot seeds into my garden and 5 months later they all sprouted! thats as far as my experience goes.
Anyways I have done a lot of reading and purchased the Autopot system 2x 15L versions.
I have a grow tent on the way in the post , a 240W LED grow light panel.
To start(practice) I have planted some onion seeds in rockwool that I am watering with normal water (PH7) once they start sprouting and when they have a few leaves I will take them out of their tray and put them in the Autopot (http://www.autopot.co.uk/1pot-extension-kit-detail) system.
That brings me to my next point I am struggling to "visualize".
The medium I have is Clay rocks...http://www.google.co.za/imgres?imgurl=http://hydroball.co.za/userfiles/image/hydro-ball-plant.jpg&imgrefurl=http://hydroball.co.za/what_is_hydroball.php&h=450&w=600&sz=98&tbnid=-vFBjGDTPDDmnM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=120&zoom=1&usg=__YBjOzLMIYcHvSQ5r_gquZGdNRuA=&docid=9VqRwEEnWj1-gM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cq8iUY2RG-6r0AXNs4DgBA&ved=0CE4Q9QEwBw&dur=43 ....once my seedling has grown leaves can I transplant it into the autopot and everything will be fine? I know how the system works and I dont understand how the water at the base will reach the baby plant in the middle of the pot? If someone can answer this I would really be gratefull!
Then for the Nutrient solution got myself the GHE Flora Series. I have no idea how to use it! I have read the "feeding chart" and it says on it ml/10l and then numbers IE: 5. Does this mean that for the FloraGro during vegitative state I must put 5x 1ml per 10Liters of water? etc? Please if someone can explain a bit better I would appreciate that to!
Those are the two main things I am struggling with to be honest , everything else I understand. On a side note the Autopot system I got never had a reservour , so I took a 20L bucket drilled a whole through it at the bottom and put the included pipe in it but with NO FILTER (in the instructions it shows a filter...I cannot find a filter anywhere!) Also I did purchase the wrong type of nutrient solution actually...I purchased soft water when infact I am in a hardwater Area....will this be a big problem?
Thank you for your replies!
