New hobby and hello from Grasshopper

[Bill284]

Hi.

I wanted to say hello to everyone and talk about my journey here.

I have been having interests in indoor hobbies like breaking and building stuffs that is fun. Over the years I was showing interest in growing aquatic plants and collecting wild species.

I used to read a lot about cannabis when I was young and had plans for it in my future. Back then I had lot of R&D science fiction ideas like extracting the chemical. I gave up once thinking cannabis and coco plant are the same and I can never get my hands on cannabis. More education cleared my head.

After college and after I gotten a good job me and my friend tried smoking. I have been collecting the seeds since then.

Few years back I tried germinating them and it was a success story.


I have been germinating seeds and not growing them. Recently I gotten some time for myself and decided to grow them.

I have two sprouted ones and I m hoping to document it part of a journal here.

I have been picking up some challenging hobbies, and this one is on my list now.

Thanks,
Grasshopper.

Welcome Grasshopper,
I'm new here as well, but I'm also always willing to share knowledge. The best I can offer at this point is some of the most important info you'll need.
1. Don't overwater, but do use a well-draining soiless medium unless you're going hydro and I wouldn't suggest that until you have a half dozen +/- successful grows and plentiful knowledge.

2. Don't overreact, it's probably the most common mistake people make. They'll see some chlorosis, curling edges, slow growth, etc and they'll do what they THINK is needed to correct it. Then they see that it continues and correct (overcorrect) again, causing more problems... continuation is normal, so long as it's on the leaves that it started on, concentrate on new growth when fixing issues.

3. Be wary of hype and misinformation. This is definitely NOT rocket science... and I'm saying this as the husband of an actual Horticulturist. Of course we can overthink and of course the field of study is vast, but the warning is that companies will and do take advantage and promise the sun and moon for only 19.95 (plus tax).

4. With aforementioned wariness, don't skimp on the major elements. Ferts, lighting, medium. The misinformation part is that there is as much sound and useful info as their is "old wives tales" surrounding this plant. My first successful grow was decades ago in a makeshift cabinet with a small cannabalized yard sale air purifier to exhaust (passive intake). Beans were bagseed, I vegged and flowered under the same (probably well used) T-12's. It was... well... very good weed, of course it didn't hold a candle to connoisseur bud. I wouldn't take info from folks that don't have pictures to prove that their knowledge translates to success. I'm one of them, I can't prove a thing at the moment.

Also, if you have ORIGINAL 80's-90's Skunk seeds, they are worth more than gold per ounce, we'd have to discuss securing those genetics and sharing them with the world. I'd pay for the Silver Thiosulfate if you femmed some original Skunk and shared the beans!

Thanks LeaveUsAlone
