Background: Used to grow many years ago in a closet in a cold rainy Northern European country which frowns on the green. So have some familiarity with the plant and how it grows, but my knowledge is not up-to-date (except what I've lurked and learned in here the past while.) Until this year I had zero experience of outdoor growing, organic growing or autoflowers. I've been on a steep learning curve the hard way. First crop were rendered dwarfs by a freak freeze.
Environment: Balcony grow in a hot country. Just a couple of plants - Critical Auto. They'll be in a small garden alongside two Blue Cheeses who are already about five weeks ahead. Soil is basic potting soil from the local garden centre. (Did I mention I'm lazy? I'm VERY lazy. There may well be a lot of things I do out of laziness that might exasperate some more expert and fastidious growers.) One seed is going into a fabric pot, another into a plastic one. I aim to pop three, with the intention of growing the best two to fruition. Legal considerations apply, by way of explanation.
Strategy: I intend to do as little as possible, apart from watering and perhaps a little LST. The two Blue Cheeses have been trained horizontally almost like a vine to max bud sites. I might try that again. Or I might not. So, there'll probably only be the nutes natural to the soil involved, and water. If I do decide to go with nutes, it'll be a simple addition of Biobizz fish mix, as suggested on this site elsewhere. I will be using peroxide to control gnats and other pests, cinnamon on the soil if necessary, and the yellow stickies. If any other nasty infests, I'll be asking for help.
Aim: To get a little green for domestic use. And enjoy myself growing the world's greatest and most interesting plant. And do so with as little effort or stress as possible.
The seeds are in damp kitchen towel as we speak. First pics once they are planted and break soil, hopefully some time next week. All comments, thoughts, advice or abuse welcome!
