Recently moved from a state that has a population of reasonable intelligent adults concerning Cannabis to a State that is not so much. My mission was clear, provide myself with safe quality herb.
Bought two books from well known authors and read them both from front to back and appreciated the history and genetic information within, however there were a lot of reading between the lines the authors seemed to think I would just understand out basic knowledge. I did not.
I started doing internet searching and found
Many of the grow journals were extremely informative as i watched new growers succeed and struggle and the support and encouragement from members ended up being the best resource i found. In an effort to continue paying it forward, here is my Journal.
Germinated as per Our Sponsors Crop King's instructions except: after soaking in distilled water i planted directly into plant starter plugs that are derived from peat moss about a 6mm deep or 1/4 inch. Tore off a little of the plug material and placed it over the hole. Placed the plugs into my net pots. I placed Hydroton into the gaps between the plugs and the pots. Filled Solo cups 1/4 the way with Hydroton and then water till the Hydroton just begin to floats. Plopped the net pots into the solo cups and placed them on top of a heating pad on low in a dark environment. I stuck an instant read food grade thermometer into the center cup and used the low setting at first and then adjusted to get the temp around75-80. I had 5 out of 5 seeds pop within 48 hours.
After 72 hours i took my net post out and placed them in my DWC hydro system into a 1/8 strength solution of RX Green Grow. Keeping my water level just below my net pots has made my roots stretch into the solution and after just 5 days i have my first true leaves.
