Hello everyone!
I've been gardening since I was a toddler helping my great grandmother with her tomatoes and never really considered growing cannabis before recently.
My favorite plants to grow are hot peppers but so far I've been having an absolute blast learning about the cannabis plant and its quirks.
I've started out with four clones - a pure indica, an indica hybrid, a pure sativa, and finally a high cbd indica strain which I'm specifically growing for a family member's rheumatoid arthritis. The strains are: Cuvee (Space Queen x Pinot Noir), Persian Delight (mysterious blend of landrace from pakistan), Gelato (Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC), and Purple Pleiades (CBD Nordle x Huckleberry Hound).
I've set up my first proper indoor setup with this project and it's been a fun experience.
These plants are all in a 3x3 tent with a 4'' exhaust fan and a 315w Sun Systems LEC grow light. From my past experience using coco coir for growing lime trees an hot peppers, I decided to use that as my growing medium since soil spooks me (I've had more than my fair share of plants succumb to root rot and fungal nonsense).
I'm keeping an eagle eye on my temps and humidity and am running my clones in a veg stage on a 13/11 on/off light cycle (11 on, 5.5 off, 1 on, 5.5 off) with the goal of saving more energy, extending the lifetime of the bulb, managing runaway temps more easily, and hopefully limit the growth of the plants as I don't want them going too crazy in the tent.
I'm torn between using SCROG or LST but, since I only have a few plants, I might start with LST.
Anyways, I'm glad to meet you guys and I hope to learn from the collective experience of growers here. I will do my best to keep status on my plants updated for those interested in my adventure.
