Well I finally got everything moved to the new house. I decided it was time to start up another grow. I have done a couple of pretty successful grows in the past so i decided to make a journal out of this one.

I'll be getting my tent and stuff set up over the next day or so, and I'll get pics of everything.

Herbie's hooked me up with some killer seed deals so I have a good selection to choose from.

Without further ado the Beans !!

I am still on the fence on which ones to start first. I'm thinking white widow, however feel free to chime in on your thoughts about the Beans I have.

I would do the non auto's first. Have you ever grown auto before? Do the BG and the Afghani. The Afghani is killer. Be sure to rip the boys out early.Happy days.

Peace

yeah, ov course, but I've not heard good things about the autos. Just what I've been told by quite a few fellow greeners. Not grown them myself as I like to control veg times. Hope you post when you do them as the story's I have been told have made me steer clear. Would be interesting what and how you deal with them. To be honest this is the first time I have used feminised beans. I'm normally a let nature decide guy but I'm getting old and I grow under a smegging light so that aint natural anyway, so flipped for the Fems this and last grow. (Same pack of beans)

Peace

I have had some really good results in the past with autos. My last grow was trans Siberian and it was killer.

Being a guy who has done regular most of my growing experience , I have always found that slightly lower temps and natural sunlight ,until its popped its shell of its first leaves, let them open out into their familiar first leaf way and veg under light. Gives me great results at getting females. Plus you can look at the bottom of the seed, A crater like shape or volcano sort of shape and that's more than likely female.

Well got some stuff accomplished today. I mixed my soil. Got my beans germinating. Got my start grow light set up.

If anyone is interested my soil is amazing and simple to make here are a few pics.

I start with this.



And then I mix all of these into it. I use all of the bags of each.







And here is after I mix it all up.

Here it is switched on.



And here is a shot of the mini hot house in use with the heat mat.

The white widows are right at da 15 or so. they are going under the 1k HPS and their 3 gal pots tomorrow. I'm going to give fast and vast a few more days and they will move in to inas well. Every two weeks or so I'm going to be starting some more seeds, so I will always have something going.
