Shrubs all seem to be doing really well, topped and cloned on Sunday and clones are still looking alive. Rally hope the clones take as this is my first attempt Started feeding the blue dream plants last week the general hydroponics ferts and they seem to be enjoying the feedings. Onwards and upwards from here

@Bospatrollie2 howzit bud... Yea it's seaweed

Starting to look a little more like Merry Jane

OK so with a little help from my boss (wife) I actually have my time frame messed up. Seeds were put in wet toilet paper on the 20th of September, by the 21st all seeds had cracked and were showing signs of the tap root pushing out the shells, they were then added to the Pots and took till the 24th of September to push to the surface. Once the seeds broke though the surface they were put in the grow room. Total time in the grow room is 8 days. I have done nothing but water the plants with natural rain water that I had gathered (running low so hope it rains soon) plants seem healthy and strong and I can visually see growth daily running 18/6 lighting. Grow room temp is an average of 24-26deg with humidity ranging from 60-70%. Here are todays picks. Any recommendations when to start adding fertilizers for feeding and what would you suggest? I'm thinking of feeding Nitrosol as it's easily accessible

Today is day 7 since my seeds went into the pots. I started off by placing the seeds in some wet toilet paper, the seeds sprouted within 24hrs. Once the seeds sprouted they were added to the pots and it took them 3 days to break the surface, once they broke the surface they were placed in my grow room and have since been there for 7 days. The plants are currently under some 300w cob flood lights at 6500k. I'm running them on a 18/6 light cycle currently. Potting medium used was an organic potting soil mixed with vermiculite and perlite. I then added some bone meal and bio ocean fertilizer and mixed it all together. I have used 20L buckets as pots. I drilled holes all over the bottom of the buckets and about 3-4cm up the sides then added some stones at a depth of about 5cm, stones used were some pretty white smooth stones my wife had lying around . My grow room is approximately 1.5w x 2.5L x 1.6m high. For reflective medium I covered my walls with space blankets, yip the stuff that medics and undertakers use, it work out pretty affordable at R22 a space blanket . Size of the space blankets is approximately 2m x 1.2 m so pretty good value. The strain I chose for my first grow is the blimburn BLUE DREAM. I was pretty impressed to see all 3 seeds pop but being new to the growing hobby I killed one of the seeds by packing it to hard when I inserted it into the pots, lesson learned . Over all I'm pretty chuffed with my progress so far. Any criticism or advice is welcome. Happy farming!

@PsyCLown I'm not in to much of a rush as my plants are still in the seedling stages so I've probably got a month or so before I'dike to ramp up the power/lighting on them. I'm based in kzn

Sooooo with the info above, what kinda lighting would you guys recommend for my grow area? I'm no millionaire so I'd need to stick to entry level stuff preferably LED units due to power consumption. As it is I have a few marine tanks that help add a few extra Rands to my electricity bill.

@PsyCLown appreciate your info. As mentioned I'm pretty green to the whole indoor growing thing and still trying to figure out if I'm in this for the long term hence I'm trying to do it cheap and nasty but in saying so I have spent decent money and some good strains. Guys I'm going to have to go balls to the wall and pull out a few more penny's to add to my grow room. Appreciate all the advice

Can always add more if needed, Im not aiming to have all 6 plants in bloom at the same time.

They just some cheap Chinese stuff of wish.

Area I'm working with is about 1.2m wide x 2.5m long by 1.5m high. I don't want the plants go grow massive so I will be doing some training and trimming to get the box shape. I'd really like them to flower quite heavily due to the space I have to work with.

Hello Everyone. OK so I'm new to this growing game and am just starting out. I'm growing indoors and currently have 1 X 300w led flood light (6500k) and am. Growing 2x Pots. My plants are still seedlings but seem to be doing well and I can see growth daily. I won't be growing to many plants at once, max 6 plants in the room at one time, my space dosent allow for more or maybe it will? I'm yet to establish this. My Question here is I have just ordared 2x 1200w full spectrum led units, will these 2 units including my current 300w unit be enough to grow 6 plants or am I going to be under gunned? My grow room is wrapped in reflective material (space blankets), got good ventilation etc. Current strain growing is BLUE DREAM
