Green Harvest

Alright, so I recently acquired a strong interest in starting my own indoor garden. The funny part is I don't even smoke that often, maybe 6 - 10 times a year. But I started looking at all these beautiful plants on this forum and others like it and decided I had to grow my own. At one point in my life I really enjoyed smoking the finest stuff around, now I don't smoke (but all my friends do) and I must grow the finest stuff around.

I started with bag seed to try and get the hang of germination and starting seedlings. I started with 13 seeds and amazingly all 13 sprouted. It may have been me or just the poor genetics of these sub-par seeds, but out of 13 sprouts, 7 died promptly. The first set of small leaves just shriveled up and died. Leaving me with 6 decently healthy seedlings. I put these in my DWC system with nutes at aprox 500ppm. This it seems was also a mistake, by morning all the plants were getting brown and yellow spots on the leaves. Some just at the tips and others all over the leaves. Luckily, these plants were stronger than I thought and have since found new life and have been growing faster then ever.

When I thought the first seedlings were going to die, I started 5 Chronic seeds. 4 out of 5 of these seeds have sprouted. I'm trying to learn from my first attempt and do things a little differently with this batch.

And thats where I'm at right now. I've taken some pictures which I need to clean up and post soon. I apologize for this novel with no pictures, but wanted to share my first experience in trying to grow my own plants.

I promise more to follow with plenty of pictures as things progress.

I'd love to see this continue. I'm thinking about trying DWC but need to find a good diary.

Me too

Same,same.
Been at it for a couple of weeks(4 stand alones) and I think the cold here in the MidAtlantic is not helping.Slow growth.
Please keep the pics small(not 1.5Mb each) that way the page doesn't take forever to load.
More info on your nutes and lighting please,oh and ventilation.
Maybe the Farm should have it's own section for knuckleheads and their first trys.Could be amusing.
