Hey everyone. Let me first say thanks for all the valuable info posted on this forum. It's really helped me and shown me just how clueless about growing I was! In an effort to reduce the hassle and costs, I've decided to attempt to grow a little for our personal use.
This is my 2nd practice run. The first ended abysmally with nothing harvested. That was about a year ago. So about 2 weeks ago, I had some bag seed from some regs and decided to use these as another practice run before investing in some quality seed and equipment.
Basically, I had no clue what I was doing, as this was before discovering this site. Anyway, basically I took about 12 seeds I had and stuck them in some potting soil in some old pots out back (outside). Well, what do you know, now I have about 6 little plants. They are getting good light from mother nature (I live in Florida) and so far appear very healthy.
However, I've already screwed up in reading some of the info on here. I watered my babies about 4 times with plain chlorinated tap water. They also received rain twice. Remember, they were planted about 2 weeks ago.
They appear pretty small (about 4") for their age but I'm just happy they are alive. I've given them no nutes as of yet. My plan was to transplant them this weekend to larger pots, probably 1 or 5 gallon. I will ultimately take them indoors as we have landscapers who visit every other week to do out lawn and such. I already plan on converting a section of our closet to accomodate the plants and lights, etc.
Quite honestly, I don't know what kind plants they are but I plan on taking pics within the next day or so and posting. I'm cautiously excited and I'd be really pleased if we can harvest anything. Like I said, I am using this as a test run before investing in good seed. If we do harvest anything, we'll probably blend with our crippy stuff.
Pics to follow soon....
