Just popped a new bean, Dinafem White Cheese. Wil be posting new journal in Growers Forum.
For the time being as my first grow is nearing its end, I thought to have a look into lessons learned in my first attempt.
1/ Be carefull when potting the sprout. My WW1 was root damaged from birth, very stunted and asa result yielded 6.5 grams.
2/ Peat moss based composts will turn Acidic around 4 weeks, Ph run off will be low when this happens and needs balanced accordingly.
3/ Keep an accurate record of feeds given at what strength and record Ph in and out
4 Flowering phase does not begin proper until vertical growth stops, this is time to change to bloom nutes
5 Feeding for Auto,s is half strength at max
6 If using cheaper composts from Garden centres then extend them with something which will help to absorb acidity, ie coco
7 Try not to be impatient, don't pick too much before its ready.
