Hi guys, hope all are doing good.
so i received my seeds from Nirvana and will be going in for germinating tonight. I will be going with the paper towel method but first soaking the seeds in mineral water for about 6 hrs.
- seeds are Nirvana (Outdoor) MK 100% feminized.
- No rush with harvesting. as natural as possible if at all possible.
- will be starting off with 1 or 2 seeds maximum.
So I got 2 choices with how to do this grow.
1. Begin Vegetative phase under artificial HPS 400-600 or CFL light. And then transplant outdoors for rest of plant cycle.
2. Plant outdoors right after germination under sunlight for entire duration.
I should point out that weather is tropical but direct sunlight is not going to be easy (if i understand correctly, more light during vegetative phase is what is needed). And since in a tropical country there is always insects.
i also got some questions on flowering and harvesting. so , if i were to plant outdoors when does the plant go into flowering, supposing the light is constant? With more light does the plant vegetate more and does this result in better yield? But do strains from Nirvana with 'specific' flowering times have a life-span. Dont know if this sounds stupid but i am stoned and i cant explain it any better.
Finally, Shall I go ahead with the grow completely outdoors or use HPS or CFL light for the initial Veg phase.
will appreciate if anyone can provide some input.
Peace
