Welcome to the party Techman glad to have you on board my friend!
Here's the low down folks, I took some time today and pulled up my veggie garden and moved my plants into pots. The final count is 19!! I can't believe that I went from 50 seeds to 19 plants (which is a LOT more manageable for me) I'm happy for my first go at this. They are already showing signs of a happy plants now that I've pulled them from the ground and placed them in some sun in my room which is a lot warmer at night so I'm hoping to see more productive growth in the following weeks.
Some picture as promised:
The Dunks Baby (grand daddy purp) I hope it's a female, if it is it will be the plant I'll learn to clone with.
The pots I used are 6in pots that I got from free from my local farmer friend. I'm glad he was around because the ones I had saved up looked to be tossed out with the trash
I looked through the soil I had here at the house and found some bags of peat moss tourbe that I mixed with some miracle grow potting soil.
For those of you just chiming in the seeds were a grab bag as stated in the title. The only one I can identify is the grand daddy purp seed. The rest are a mix of Jack Ohara, Blue Dream and a few other strains I can't remember but they are all great and I enjoyed smoking all of them so I am sure having variety of plants will be great once they are harvested
The pots I placed on a storage bin and then used the cover to place the rest of the pots on so I can water them w/o making a mess. I have my desk fan oscillating on low from threeish feet away, just enough to make them move slightly. I did get a few plants that have bloomed late and were not at all pleased by the cold weather. They went from fresh and vibrant to looking hung over the next morning. I'm hoping that now they are indoors tomorrow morning they perk up a bit with the new soil and warmer temps.
OK questions time... so far I have not spent a red cent on this project so now I need to invest in lights. I have about 50-60$ max to spend on the project at the moment so I need your help. I have read over the light guide but in all honestly it translated to a bunch of gibberish. I never have understood electronics and light spectrum guide made my brain explode. I'd like to have two or three hanging lights that I plan to put on a chain or some rope so I can adjust them as time goes on. I have a Home Depot and Lowes near by that carry any kind of light I'd need but I don't know what to get. I'm looking for lights that can screw into normal light sockets, I don't have the room or want for any long tube lights with a hood. Please point me in the right direction for lighting!
Much love -Fish
