    Noob Grow.

    I had some problems with my plants, the sun was burning them to hell and a grass hopper killed two of the seedlings. I bought a cheapo light from takealot and put them in under the stairs with a 120mm PC case fan, they are doing a lot better now and growing like crazy, I’ll tell the SO I want a tent and some odds and ends for my birthday this year. I think for now my setup is working fine. Few things I learned is to give them less water, plant the seeds deeper next time and the smell is quite pungent even if they are still small. I still need to figure out how many males and females I have and get rid of the males, because I doubt they are fem seeds.

    I started with some seeds I got from a bud that was gifted to me. I don't know what they are just know it's cannabis 3 out of the 4 have germinated and I have 3 more in water that I'll put in some cotton later today. I'll update as I go and your advice is welcome!
  6. I ran into a guy at the nursery that happen to hear what I was going to use the pots and soil for and he grows himself and helped me out with some recommendations. Got 2 20l pots and 8 smaller ones. 4 bags of coco peat 2 bags of loam soil a bag of silica sand but its more like small rocks, same size as the airlite and a bag of airlite. mixed it all up and filled the pots so I just need to wait for the seeds to sprout a root and I’m ready to plant. Thanks for all the help I will start a new thread and post to it as I go.
  7. They have a nice spot that gets sun 90% of the day and thanks will get some coco and perlite also thanks! https://www.thespruce.com/what-is-loam-1401908
  8. Hi Yes from carb I think I am going to stick to the seeds I have now and not stress to much about it, this wil be my first grow and don’t want to buy seeds that I will probably end up wasting, this is just for the trail and some experience. I’m also not to concerned about the yield have done a bit of reading on the subject and need to see wat a female and male plant looks like, what the growth cycle is and what I can and can not do that will impact the plants. My end goal is to grow some nice bud that I can use to make some extract with but I’m in no rush and will enjoy the hobby and see if it is for me or not. I am motivated to grow for the reason the oil I can by is quite expensive and I see why, think the feeling of doing it your self and succeeding is a rewarding one.
  9. Just thinking of using loam soil? my local nursery has and I’ll get some 20l pots then. I also have some plant Nutrients not sure the brand but it is the one I water the bonsai with once every week or so. The seeds are currently in between some cotton. I did put them in water and waited for them to sink before I put them between the cotton. I have some time today to go to the nursery so going to check what they have and I need. My shopping list is as follows: Small pots for planting the seeds when they sprout there first root. 4-8pots Bigger pots 20l at least 4 Enough soil for the pots Lemon juice to spray the plants if they get some mould or insects (was reading it works well diluted 30/70 with water) If anyone has something I missed please let me know! Just a f.y.i only thing I have grown is some jalapeños and I have a Red Maple bonsai witch I bought
  10. I'm looking at growing outdoors for now and not to concerned about yield and getting the maximum out of the plant, that will come with time and experience. I have some seeds to start off with and planing on planting them in 15L pots so I can move the plants in and out if it gets too cold or rains for too long. I got the seeds from my sister in-law she makes her own extract from buds and with that makes a oil I use and she makes edibles as well. I want to start making my own extract and thought to also grow my own cannabis, take out the middle man! Then I can control every aspect of my own product. I'm leaning more towards the high CBD plants I have been looking at some seeds that I want to try but think playing with what I have now and getting some experience and then spend the money to grow specific strains. If I do it now I fear I'll be trowing money in the drain, the seeds I have no idea what strain or if they are more THC or CBD. I have however rolled a joint with the bud and was a nice feeling of calm and relaxation and I was not baked but just mellow witch I like a lot, but not as effective as the oil and I don't like to smoke as I quit cigarettes about 5 years ago.
  11. Hi all Found the forum as I am looking to start growing my self. I have been using extracts and edibles for a while to help with stress, anger and anxiety. Not to big a fan of getting too baked and mostly like it for the medicinal properties. Hope to have a awesome time on the forum and learn as much as I can. Regards Dread
