hey guys, I've been a long time lurker of the forums and since i decided to start growing this year, i felt it necessary to make a grow log and just a thread where I can get some advice if needed. I know quite a bit about growing outdoors and indoors, but no actual experience.
I found a few spots at my local park that are completely impossible to find unless you know where it is, and no one would even want to venture all the way to the spot. You have to take your shoes off and walk across a river, wade thru extremely dense underbrush/prickers/poison ivy, and the plot is hidden behind pine trees. The first spot i found was quite literally a circle of trees, thusly named the forest temple. it's a little spot about 5 feet by 5 feet wide with no brush or anything, and its completely surrounded by trees. The bad thing is the trees are so high and the canopy opening is so small, only about 4 hours of direct sunlight reaches the ground. So i just threw a few bagseeds in the ground and watered it, they have sprouted already but they probably won't grow much.
So for our official grow area, we fenced off a square and tilled the soil up and we're going back tomorrow to mix in some soil mix/perlite/worm castings/mulch. I germinated about 20 seeds a couple days ago and since then i have planted the seeds in those little black garden trays you buy baby plants in. during the day i put them on my roof and at night i keep them in my closet with a CFL. I used regular potting mix with some plant food for the babys. 4 have sprouted already, one is starting to spread its leaves out, and the other three still have to shed the seed casing. I water them whenever the soil gets crusty, and i use water with about ten percent fertilizer to give them a good jump start. I will move them outside and transplant them to our garden when they are about 4 inches tall or so. The soil mix I am using to augment the soil already at the site(and its pretty good soil too, lots of shit growing and worms and bugs everywhere) is a mixture of potting mix from MG and some other company i don't remember, some plant+shrub mix that's heavier and has more mulch and shit, some regular plant food, sand, and a few handfulls of perlite. The nutes i am using are MG 15-30-15. I know people say don't use MG, but i don't have the money to go out and buy all these fancy nutes so ima use what I have here at my house. So i guess that's all the info i have for you guys today, tomorrow im going to go mix the soil up and finish preparing the garden for my little babies!
I look forward to sharing my first growing experience with you guys and hope you can give me some pointers here and there to help the process go a lot smoother and so i end up with nice big buds
