Hi everyone, an oldie from the UK, retired 2 years ago and now able to do a bit of growing, well try lol!
OK
grow room 6 x 6
lights, given to us, led with red & blue 720 watts
Spider farm filter
Fan
Humidifier
BioBizz light mix soil
BioBizz bio groom, top max and bio bloom
plants - no idea.
So as me and my OH never been involved with any kind of gardening, we have seeds that have been given to us, a long time ago lol, years! Anyway long story short 4 seeds took that we found in a container with the BigBuddhaCheese leaflet feminised seeds? I didn't want to buy seeds yet until I thought we have any chance of growing. So here we are, but one plant is not the same as the other 3 so who knows what they are lol!
The first plant we nearly lost at seedling but it came back, however it is small, 8 weeks. The second plant is 6 weeks and plants 3/4 5 weeks.
Not really sure what I am doing, follow here and the web generally, but beginning to feel a bit more confident and looking at autos to grow. This is all personal use for me and OH. Any suggestions welcome!

50 years of smoking street bud
lol you must of seen some changes over the years

uk back then it was all hash & really good hash at that. You could pick & mix all night long.
Then it turned to no hash but bud started to float around cool np then again it turned to adulterated bud & hash & stayed that way for years. Hence why I started growing really albeit I had dabbled before
you’ll love smoking your own & the adventure it takes you on

Enjoy & welcome to the farm

Welcome!

If you need any help, The HighWay is a great source of information. The Beginner Grow Guide is a good place to start.

Happy growing!

Welcome! You're off to a great start and your plants look nice. Homegrown and home growing are wonderful.

I recommend looking into using fabric pots. They work well with cannabis.

So true, my guy use to come round, suited and booted with a brief case with a pic and mix inside! I really enjoyed those first sensi years. Those were the days when you could get good street bud, not like the crap today!

Took it how you meant it to be, a joke lol! Old school, not offended by banter! As you have may have guessed, not a football fan, and if I was, never Liverpool, I am a Southerner
