Need help: new grower here

Hey guys, I'm new here.
I come from a country that cannabis isn't exactly legal. I've been medicating for a very long time.
I prefer cannabis over the pills I'm prescribed. Which cost an arm and a leg in comparison.
The problem is always the availability here.

So I've decided to try and grow my own. I've never been successful getting past tiny sprout.

I'm growing in the attic of my house. Grow lights and outdoor aren't really an option for my situation.
I have placed the medium and sproutlings by the window with a plastic over the pot. I have some vermicast coming in the mail.

I live in a tropical place with plenty of humidity, currently at 56% with no drastic changes.
The spot i had placed the pot is by the window where it can get plenty of mid day sunlight.

I'm trying to research good tips and food for my soon to be plants. All I've been seeing are fertilizers and food specifically for cannabis. Unfortunately I have no acces to such products. I was wondering if anyone can recommend generic store kinds.

I'd appreciate any advice to help me get to the harvest stage of my grow.
 
Greetings! Fortunately for you cannabis has been growing in the ground for thousands of years before the fertilizer companies came around! A good, healthy, soil suitable for fruits and vegetables should work. Also any perlite, pumice stones, compost or worm castings (poop) will be good additions.
Yes there are lots of products formulated for optimal cannabis growth, but in a pinch you can still do it and definitely be careful not to get caught!!!
 
Thank you very much. Does that mean i don't need the fertilizer? I have some vermicast medium that's arriving in a few days also.

Attached to this are pics of my current situation. I have 4 sprouts.

Hey @Kublai .welcome to 420 my friend. I completely understand your situation but not to be negative. The attic is going to be pretty tough. Temps/humidity etc. I'm not saying it's not going to work.

Do you have room to for a indoor grow tent in your house? You can have a complete setup for under $1,000 bucks and nobody could tell if they came in your house. Just a thought .
 
Lmao..that's awesome


i know. i pointed him to the intro thread and helpful links page. he responded by doing a cut and paste of his first post in random sub forums lol. :p

Pulling up part of an old song and changing a few words I come up with "Looking for help in all the wrong places...". Ya, dumping msgs in random child-forums will get him or her random answers to a problem he or she might not know or understand. Oh, well.

I had wanted to say that the first thing is to figure out how to get beyond "... never been successful getting past tiny sprout."
 
Invest in exhaust/intake fans. Same here, my count if get caught growing it's either death sentence of lifetime prison :(

be careful fam. that's just impossibly hard.
sorta figger the op is in a similar situation. just a feeling i get off the background architecture in the pics.
