So, here I am. A couple of months ago, I just got a bug up my ass to try my hand at growing some of my own, on a basically nonexistent budget. I had some random swag seeds laying around, so I germinated a couple and decided to just try to kinda wing it and figure it out as I go. It's an indoor grow; but living in a desert region, I have a feeling it's not going to be a painless process - not just due to my complete ignorance.
I did fairly minimal research, and decided that LED COB lighting seemed to be the cheap/effective way to go. I figured it's worth a shot. I got a 1.5 cu. ft. bag of Ocean Forest soil and some Dyna-Gro Grow and Bloom plant food. I still need to pick up at least a few more things when I have some more cash to play with - namely, a half-decent tent and some more chemicals: pH-control stuff and the like.
I'd started the seedlings on some old-ass, used potting soil we had around the house. I don't know that they thrived at first, but they seemed to be pretty healthy. As of about 2 weeks ago, I got the OF soil and transplanted them, it was roughly the same time that I got the LED lighting and started using that. It's only been a few days since I finally got the Dyna-Gro, but it appears I'm already getting some "nute burn" from it. I may have mixed it a bit strong -
mL/gallon.
I'll post a couple of pics of my two plants, feel free to let me know what you think of them. They're only a month past sprout, but I'm thinking that they're probably smaller than they should be. All in all, the smaller one (white and blue container) seems to be doing reasonably well. The larger one.. maybe not so much. The drooping and clawing of the leaf tips is kinda alarming. Guess I should just go with straight water for a little while?
