Hello everyone at Rollitup!
This will be my first serious indoor grow. Luckily my outdoor grows this season were a success. Planted in March, the roughly ten bag seed plants were harvested last week and yielded roughly 695g dry weight (they were planted in shade, beginners' mistake). My six G-13 plants unfortunately weren't so lucky. Thanks in part to the urban sprawl in my once rural community, rapid construction of a condominium led to the choice of me having to remove the plants August 3rd. They were planted in ground so could not be transplanted. Upsetting but nevertheless an inevitability for the odd guerrilla grower. Interestingly enough, as I happened to work near my successful spot, I noticed a week after harvest my local law enforcement decided to begin helicopter flyovers in the entire forested area where the plants used to be. A week too late for them I guess...
---For the record, organic pot growing is where it's at! Organic through it all and NO watering! A very wet summer in Ontario this year for sure. After drying and curing the bud is delicious and smooth (an upside to a no-fertilizer approach). The bud is a numbing Indica, maybe a haze-cross and the euphoria of smoking the fruits of my hard labor this spring and summer adds to the stone.---
My neighbor also pulled off a successful harvest of eight G-13xBuddha plants which I guided him through, as it was his first time. As a thank-you for my marijuana mentoring, I received a nice zip of bud and also all the roughly fifty seeds from one of the females who was pollinated before the male could be removed.
So, now I begin my indoor grow. Using the Rubbermaid gr(l)ow box I presented in the grow design and setup forum, I took six of the seeds and began germinating them using the 'paper-towel' method I used on previous grows:
===================================
1. Take three sheets of paper towel (without seperating them) and fold in half four times so you have one thick towel and one full thin towel.
2. Place the seeds, spaced out, on the thick piece of towel.
3. Spray the seeds with pH balanced water.
*Since I didnt go out and buy RO water from wal-mart, I used Canadian river springs water. It tested at 7.5 so I added some pH down and it then tested at 6.6. I felt this was sufficient as in previous grows I used normal tap water for germination to great success.
4. Fold the full paper-towel in half and place over top of the seeds.
5. Spray the towel, front and back and place in a large ziploc bag. Seal out all the air and place the bag in a place where there is no light (ex. under the couch, in a closet).
===================================
That'll do it for Day One. Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions as I am always open to discussion.
And check back in a couple of days for a germination update.
PS Sorry I have no pictures of the finished product I was working with 2 partners and I didn't want to spook them by taking pictures of everything and telling them I was going to post it online for everyone to see
