Hope I'm not posting in the wrong spot.
First I'm 52 almost 53 starting my first grow. I've been stuck back in town where I can't grow veggies anymore and I've been missing it real bad.
So after losing the biggest part of my 401k in the crash and wanting to get a few extra bucks to fix up my house before we sell figured I'd give this a try.
Oh, I family name is not what we came to this country baring as we were busted during Prohibition so it comes natural.
So I got my seeds from Holland Tuesday and Wednesday I set them up to germinate.
Going with 5 of ten seeds on each of the followinng.
Nothern Lights
Papya
Bubblicious
and 15 Bag seeds.
Used my old bean sproutting method with the exception of adding 1/4 cup of pelletized lime and a drop of Superthrive to a gallon of water. The seeds dusted with Bone Meal inside a dampend paper towel.
The purpose of the lime is to keep the solution alcaline in the hope that I will get more females from this method.
Oh, I can't spell, so please bare with my mistakes.
Anyway, today, just two days later I have a 100% germination. Even the bag seed.
Wasn't expecting this especially from the Papya that is supposed to be slow to germ. And I keep my house cool. I hate hot weather.
So, rushing faster than I wanted I have made up my seedling "soil". 2 parts Spag Peat, 1 Part Perlite, for a total of about 4 gal.. total. To this I add 1/4 cup Bone Meal, 1/4 cup Lime, 1/4 cup Scott's seed starter fert. All dampened and mixed with a 5 gal. paint stirrer.
I'll let this stew for a couple of days before putting the germinated seeds into plastic drinking cups.
So with 2x4 and 4x4 grow tents I will use the 2x4 for Moms and seedling and the 4x4 for budding. There is no way I can use all these plants but!!!! Hope to save one each of the NL, Papya, and Bubs, for Moms and account for some being males I hope to have sixteen plants to bud. Sexing once they are vegging worries me but we'll cross that bridge later.
My back is killing me. I better go enjoy someone else's effort.
