I actually quit smoking weed on Halloween of 1998 (quit drinking, too and still don't) but in October of '07 I hurt my back pretty bad and started again for general pain management and stress relief. SO.....getting back into the game after like 9 years was hard.....first off, most pf my smoker friends refused to sell to me, and the ones that would can only get brick....and I refuse to smoke it. So, I decided I would be smart and grow. A few plants for me and the ol' lady, just to smoke. I am 35 and pretty successful, so I figured I could learn. Spent several weeks reading various books and forums, and last week decided to do a trial run using soil and bag seeds. Germ'ed 8 in clay pots.....in the soil......3 sprouted..one of them being a seed from a friend that he said was from an old male of a dead friend who we knew way back.
Anyway......three sprouted..and the one from my buddies kind plants I drowned it...was watering and overpoured by accident and it shriveled. The other two, which were from a bag of mids, took off and when they got the second leaves, I transplanted them into 10" pots. I am going to grow this batch under straight flouro's, because as I said, it is about the learning.
Anyway...during the transplant I pinched the stem of one right at the soil by accident, as the soil was dry and crumbly on top. I transplanted the other just fine, and she (fingers crossed...at least heshe) is doing well. After 6 days under flouros she is 6 1/2" an just starting to get her second set of serrated leaves. The other one I had to stake due to the pinch, and just knew it was going to die...it was curled on top. But, today it grew at least 1/2" and it opened out it's leaves WIDE to the light...this was after I misted the plant itself, straight distilled H20. Anyway, the only thing is that it now has a white spot on the tip of each of the rounded leaves.....from what I have read this is not biggie, unless it spreads to other leaves. So I am going to ride it out and see. Anyway, more than anything I just wanted to introduce my long winded ass. Bobo the DeadHead from NW Arkansas. I will post periodically, maybe even pics of my fruits, if they arrive.
I ordered some seeds from 420-seeds in London. They answerred all my email and provided tele #, and the prepaid visa was charged, so we will see. They are for when I learn more.....I got a mix of 5 strains......ice, red shiva, big bud, white widow, and purple power. So...hope to hell I will get them.
I also am buying the following from a customer/buddy of mine who has a tractor store...he's gonna order them in for me:
a deluxe hydro hut
2 3x3 ebb and flow tables, with pumps, resevoirs, etc.
2 dozen pots
2 dozen rockwool
a dual ballast 400w
2 MH bulbs
2 HPS bulbs
reflectors, socket set, etc.
a raising and lowering system for lights(Sunray)
1 liter of each nutrient....3 bottles altogether
10 liter hydroton
a analog ppm meter
ph tester and bottle of PH up
germination station with cloning gel
dual digital timer/thermometer
sheet of rockwool germination cubes
He is selling me this for $1470. Is this fair?
I figure I will store everything except the lights until I get a few grows in on bag seeds, and learn the plant....then use the bought seeds and the hydro set-up and raise some sexy little girls. AHHHH...the dreams. But, I did have Bill order this stuff for me...and I paid for the seeds....so as soon as I can, I will.
Anyway......thanks for listening. Pleased to meetcha!
