I brought a seed mix 2 of each Master Kush, Afghan, Pure Power Plant and Skunk #1. and I'm getting a free Caramel Ice so looking forward to seeing what that's like. I've never grown any of these before, they are regular seeds, so I should get 3 or 4 females out of the mix at least, and the free seed is a feminised one.
An old grower once told me, that stressing a plant can make it a male, I broke a branch badly in my second grow, I just propped it up, and it grew but it had male flowers grow on it later and the rest of the plant (a clone) was female, we got a few seeds in the surrounding plants only about 12 seeds, so I think the old dude was right about stressing.
I have to grow inside here, but am going to do what works well in my glasshouse for my tomatoes and stuff and go completely organic (home made organic)
I have brought some sphagnum moss, for the top of soil and mixed in with soil or potting mix just to help it from drying out, some crystal rain, to soak up any excess water and have it available without sending dirt sour.
I brought some 45 liter (12 gallon) storage bins I'll use for my pots. I've mixed up potting mix with some moss, good compost, non clotting (cheap) kitty litter instead of perlite.
Have cut up a few leaves of comfrey leaves, and mixed it in with the soil, added a couple handfuls of worms per pot, that's the ideal plant food I reckon, so have started some liquid fertilizer with comfrey as well, added some horse manure(that should smell more than the plants) and seaweed for the veg cycle,
and liquid fert made of dandelion, stinging nettle and dock leaves and seaweed for the flower cycle, that should get all the trace elements without too much nitrogen for flowering.
I could have brought 2x 12 gallons of top of the range potting mix, $50 each and nuts for $60, but will be most interested to see what my own concoction works.
I'm also going to plant by the moon, so the 10th of March should be the ideal time to plant seeds, right at the start of New Moon.
I'm growing in a ward-robe, I don't have a tape measure so have to measure by my arm length
3/4 of my arm length deep and high above soil depth and 3 x 3/4 arm long, going to work out a way of moving the light along the length twice a day.
Because I can't bend down to tend plants, I have to always make plants into bonsai's. So it suits the short grow area. I've had awesome results with bonsai plants before, so looking forward to trying it myself this time.
I talk to my plants, while I tie them down (into bondage with my plants) and generally like to sit and watch them grow. I've never tried worms before, but they are awesome for other plants I grow.
I had to buy everything new.
