Hey guys this is basically a thread where I will post some general information and ask for some help (hopefully not too much) about my autoflower grow!
Let's get started with a disclaimer:
I know that I have way too little lighting and I'm working on getting another light in there.
This is the definition of "keep it simple". I appreciate any advanced tips for later experimentation, but this grow is all about an easy and quick yield, as it's my 2nd grow ever and the first grow was a complete failure (read my other thread for that).
OK, so let's get into what I'm using for this grow.
Strain: Hindu Kush Auto
Seed Bank: Sensi Seeds
Grow time: 45-55 days
Medium: Light soil mix, ~8 litres + LECA balls, ~2 litres
Pot: 10 litre "air pruning" textile grow bag
Light: 1 70w, 3200 lumen CFL
[BOLD]Nutrients:[/BOLD] Bio bizz Bloom
I also have a pH- as well as an electrical water pH tester.
Things on my purchase list include a fan and at least 1 more CFL or a small full spectrum LED if I can swing it financially.
I'm doing this grow in my closet, low wattage as established but hopefully I can upgrade. If not, I guess we can see what 70w CFLs will get you when it comes to autos.. When I water I'll carry the bag(s) across the hall to the bathroom and let them drain there for a while before putting them back on the plastic garbage bags covering the floor in the closet.
As of right now I still have a plant from the last failed grow (I grew outside and then summer stopped) that has gotten stunted, probably from the cold. It has started flowering so I'll let it run its course.
I won't be feeding the new plant for the first 3-5 weeks, and the I'll start slowly with about 1/4 of recommended dose. This particular type of cannabis is very sensitive to nutrients and easily gets nutrient burn.
That's all the info I can think of right now.. Maybe some of you even made it through the whole thing! Oh right almost forgot, the light schedule is basically 20/4 right now to make up for the weak lighting and I just put the seed in, the tap root is about 1/4 inch long. I put it pretty shallow but if the seed starts popping up too soon I might cover it some more in order to make sure that the root is big enough to support it. Hopefully I'll see the seedling pop out within 3-4 days. I'll come back with pics of the grow space when I get home.
