I live in a country where the devils lettuce is illegal, so I've been ordering my cannabis on the dark web regularly for the past 2-3 years, but a few months ago a shipment got nipped in customs and I got charged with illegally moving drugs into the country. I contacted the police and told them it wasn't me
A month later the charges got dropped. Since I don't wanna risk it again I'll grow it myself now. This is my confessio... Ahem, diary.
This my first time growing, so if you see something you think I could do better please feel free to reply
Equipment:
120x120cm (4x4) tent
25 liter (6.6 gallon) fabric pots (they got planted in 6 liter fabric pots at first before I learned that was way too small)
Ducting fan and fox carbon filter (these a just some no name cheapos I found)
2 x LED Meiju QB288 V3 lm301h 240W Color: 660nm + 3500K
Medium: Coco / perlite. I think it's about 40% perlite but I just mixed it until I felt it looked like all the pictures I've seen.
Half of the coco is just shit terrarium bedding for reptiles. But it's a pain in the ass to buffer yourself so I bought 50 liter pre buffered CANNA coco which to my surprise was much cheaper.
Nutes:
CANNA A+B
CANNA Calmag
CANNA Cure (I spray them with this once a week to prevent disease)
PH Up and Down
Strains:
3x Royal Gorilla, 1x White Widow
I sprouted the seeds using the wet paper towel method. Planted them in small plastic cups after the tap roots were longer than my finger nail.
From there they went into 6 liter pots and now 25 liter pots.
Water and food:
My tap water is pretty shit, it sits at 250ppm. For the first few weeks of the girls life I used 2ppm RO water I got from work.
But I can only get so much, and for the last 14 days I've been watering with tap water until christmas holiday ends.
I've mixed in 300ppm Calmag from day one. First few weeks I fed with 200ppm, then 300ppm and now that they are 8 weeks old I've been feeding 900ppm and plan to up it to 1200 during flower. I plan to keep them in veg for about 9-10 weeks.
Right now at 8 weeks I'm watering every 3 days. Nutes are mixed in most of the time, I only give them pure water if I detect nute burn which really only happened a bit during the first few weeks.
I regulate the PH every time. They get between 5.5 and 6.5 randomly. Sometimes it's 5.8, sometimes 6.5 and so on. I do this because I read somewhere that the plants take different nutrients better at different PH levels, so I switch it up.
RH and temp:
18C at night and 24C during day (64.4F and 75F)
I kept the RH at 80% during the first few weeks and now at 8 weeks I try to maintain 50%, but it's hard without a dehumidifier. It regularly climbs to 75%, I should probably find a solution before flower.
Training:
I topped them when they reached 6th node. They quickly grew two new main stems and one grew four to my surprise.
3 days after topping I began low stress training. Pulling the entire stem 90 degress and having the two new stems go around the pot on opposite directions.
I've been doing lst every 2-3 days until today at 8 weeks where I stopped. When they reach a little more height I'll install a SCROG net and create a big canopy before switching them to flower.
So this is where I'm at right now a the halfway point. Wish me luck guys.
