I've been around a couple weeks now, and I have a shit-ton of questions because I've never done this before.
1. I'm in the SF Bay Area. I've checked local ordinances regarding growing and there are no local ordinances in the way(I'm in a non-incorporated area on the Peninsula). Totally urban, but a back yard that's hard to see, hard to access, if my gate is locked. It will be.
1.5. My grow space is limited and I'm wondering if a portable greenhouse will be a good idea. Anyone have a recommendation? I've looked at a zillion ones but budget (and space) are pretty limited. I live on a fixed income. Are any of the portable greenhouses any good? The plants will grow in smart pots. If you have ideas about all this shit, lay 'em on me.
2. I'm using clones. Big-time indica guy so indica will be my choice. Afghani if I can find clones. Strainbank only sells them 12 at a time or more. A lot more than I need. Shorter plants, good yield, fewer security issues. What sort of pest issues can I expect when growing in a portable greenhouse?
3. When to harvest. I've got the idea when trichomes reach a level of 'done,' it's time to chop. How to know?
4. Curing and drying. Many differing opinions with regard to temperatures. Anyone aware of best practices regarding this stage?
5. Soil. I'm planning on using soil from this guy. Please check the CL ad and tell me if the guy seems legit, OR, if you've actually bought soil from this guy. It's bulk "Happy Hippy Garden Mix." The makeup of the soil is in the ad here...
Does this guy seem on the level?
6. Where to get clones? I like StrainBank but they're only selling 20 or more. WAAY more than I need. I want Agfhani because it's hardy, a heavy yielder, and I LOVE the weed. Adore it. Love me some couch lock. I've looked at Dark Heart but goddamnit it to fucking hell, they have no Afghani clones. Any suggestions as to where to acquire clones on this scale. I'm just a back-yard gomer, not a commercial grower.
I'm sure I'll have a LOT more questions but this is a start. I'm planning on planting the clones around June 1. Veg until August and let the flowering occur naturally.
So, am I completely full of shit? I'm nervous and anxious about doing a good job. Wasting my time? I've been in information-gathering mode for about a month and will be reading more, asking more questions, and generally being as much of a pest as the gathered will tolerate. The more best practices I can gather and write down, the better I'll do.
All input welcome, even if it's to tell me I'm totally full of shit and doomed to failure. Photos of grow space to come. Ignore the dirt in the grow space, it's dead. Thanks in advance!!!
