A lot people like to post there first grow with joy and happiness. I'm posting this last grow with sadness, because I can't do it anymore. I'm going blind and no one can stop it. Damn, I'm almost there. I had a IED (improvised explosive device) go off under my feet and I lost my left eye and have an inoperable cataract in my right eye. Burns over 48% of my body with lots of skin grafts. I use magnification devices to see now. Back to the grow....
A new way to grow!
The goal is to raise the Cation exchange capacity, or CEC to get the maximum absorption from the nutrients with no additives. The theme of this grow is SIMPLICITY! Keeping it simple!!!
I started this grow on 2/13/19 with some seeds that came from a plant that wasn't even 15 inches tall. It was one of the first indoor grows I had done a few years back. Here's the mother plant that I got the seeds from. She ain't much, but I still loved her!
I using two substrates in this grow. One organic soil and one soil-less.
Roots organic, and Pro-mix BX. I will just say organic or soil-less through out the rest of the grow.
I use only unpolluted rain water from a rain barrel!!! The water I use is very important in this grow, and I use it from the very beginning to the very end.
The nutrients I use are GH Flora Series with no additives. I only use them at the end of the grow and not for the first 4 to 6 weeks.
Lights, 2 LED Chinese Hygro 1000 watts, equals about 400 watts out of the wall each.
One 400 watt HPS, Everything together about 1200 watts out of the wall total.
A couple of oscillating fans, and a couple of 20 in, large floor fans.
Grow area is a 6x6 room.
Heres the mother plant I got seed from.
