Hi to all cultivators!
I’m so excited to be part of this growing community!
I’ll post as often as I can and hope the babies will grow up strong and healthy.
Anyone, please advice if you do see me heading in a bad direction.
Many thanks and appreciation.
I should have planted them in peat moss earlier, *face palm*, the germination was so quick. Took 2 days to germinate to this, look like this baby was eager to make me smileAnyway, I quickly transplanted it into peat moss pellet which I bought from the Home Depot.
Ahh..much better here I guess.
I’m still figuring how I should create my potting mix. Well, the daily humidity is >80% and daily temperatures range from 26-32 degree celsius.
I guess I should get potting mix that doesn’t retain too much water.
I’m gonna go check the supermarket tomorrow to see what I can get and do one thing at a time.
It’s pretty confusing to having spent 6 hours reading the forum about everything I mean literally everything. (Not that I could remember all of it)
Well, the beauty of doing something for the first time is in the uncertainty and certainly there are going to be plenty that I might face.
I like to keep my heart ready for the challenges ahead and shout-out to anyone that’s currently in a similar situation, LET’S GO!!!
Wow!!! Hi GNick55, the first threads that I read in the community! Love the music!congratulations!
you came to the right place!
enjoy the farm!
Thank you sooooo much for the advice! I’m considering to get a growing tent, now that I read about light leaks and pests! Btw, I found a fly wandering across the moss, freaked me out!Do you want to make your first grow easy?
1 Choose a good well aerated light soil.30% perlite is a recommended percentage. Lots of brands come close or are spot on. Promix is one I use sometimes.
2.Pick a brand of nutrients...many to choose from I use General Hydroponics 3 part flora system & have for 20+ years. then the most important part .....follow their recommended feeding schedules......you'll learn to tweak it as you grow.
3 This might be the most important rule. Get seeds with good genetics from a reliable source.
4 No!. light leaks once turned to 12/12 lights in the tent.
5 Read & participate on these forums daily until they're ready to smoke.
Soak completely then let dry, get it into a larger cup with more soil so you don't have to keep adding water. You don't need direct sunlight on them right now either let them grow a bit before getting the full blast from the sun ( indoors behind windows it can get too hot & and fry them )Day 5
They look fine I think. Considering to get a growing tent, but the amount of space I have is sooooooo limited. I have a small corner in the room which could fit 50x50x100 tent, overcrowding is definite!
I’m pretty sure the leaves that branch out will kiss the walls in the tent. I might just have to make do with that. Not considering for to get huge yield, I think it should do fine.
And here are the babies!!!

Btw, should I pick the seed off them or just allow it to drop naturally?
And I noticed some discolouration in no. 1 & 2, is that normal? I’m guessing due to the late transplant during germination, there could be a minor root issue with them both. (I’ll continue to observe)
No. 4 was only planted yesterday, counting day 2 as of today. I could see some flesh as of now. So I lightly dressed back the hole after taking a photo.
Currently, the babies are getting 10-12hrs of natural sunlight and 6 hrs of indoor lighting from my lamp. (It should be fine I think, since the seedlings are still really young)
Because of the higher temperatures in the day, I drip the soil with a tsp of distilled water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evenings. (It was a sunny 32 deg today)
I was thinking of transplanting them into potting mix in a few days, probably on Monday.
Guess that’s about it for today.
Oh and I’m getting so much love from the community already, lucky me!
Love y’all and happy weekend!
Ahhhh... right! A common mistake for every newbie. Thank youuuu!!don’t be watering so much. it shows with curl down twisty leaves yellowing brown spots..
Yesss I noticed the peat moss dries up really quickly. I’ll transfer them to potting mix tomorrow!Soak completely then let dry, get it into a larger cup with more soil so you don't have to keep adding water. You don't need direct sunlight on them right now either let them grow a bit before getting the full blast from the sun ( indoors behind windows it can get too hot & and fry them )
I don't like those seed pods, they dry out on me, I just use my growing mix in 12 oz solo cups.
