hi everyone
I was reading threads in AFN for a while, learned many things here very useful, so i decided to create an account and finally start growing. hopefully you guys will help me with my first grow ever.
2 weeks ago I got my seeds from herbies and planted 1 heavyweight fast and vast to test and see how things goes (sprout 8 days ago), my media is 50% perlite, 7-10% organic rich in nitrogen solid fertilizer and the rest is potting soil.
the reason for 50% perlite is the place i live is always at above 65% humidity and most of the times its around 80%!!!
I know i'm not supposed to use slow release solid nutrients but this one releases in only 30 days so i thought it worth giving it a try, all the products I'm using are from local gardens nothing is branded, even if they are branded it's unknown to me.
i'm planning to use bottled vermicompost mixed with other composts to make compost tea for the entire life cycle of the plant and kinda do test and trial, see the deficiencies and add needed element somehow.
any advice would be appreciated. if you kindly wanted to suggest plant foods please keep in mind that I'll only use organics.
I used a single 38 watt philips CFL for 7 days and in 8th day (now) placed her under a 300 watt full spectrum LED (130~ real watt)
I don't use grow tent or closet or anything, i think you guys call it open setup, you'll see in the pictures
cheers

There's plenty of folk here to help you thru your organic grow. Pop into some of their journals and invite them to yours. I'd also go to live introductions and introduce yourself. Post the link to your journal here in your intro asking for help. I'll help all I can, (disclaimer) I know nothing about organic feeding. How high is your light? I think you can safely lower it to get that lady some more photons.
