Hello all,
This is my very first grow, so I have no experience with growing cannabis, not even through a friend. In fact I haven't even seen a real cannabis plant in my life! I recently got some extra space (an extra empty apartment) and since weed is hard to get here I though I'd give it a try. As you can undestand I have no idea what I am doing so I though I'd start a journal in order to get any help I can get. So please, just say your thoughts and advice, no matter how obvious you think it may be.
Some details:
Seeds: Royal Queen Seeds, 1x AK-47, 2x Northern Light, 1x Dwarf all Automatics
Medium: Soil, Compo Sana Generic, contains Black Peat, Perlite, NPK at N 300mg/l, P 360mg/l, K 420ml/l
Pots: 3 x 10L for the "regular" plants, 1x 5.5L for the Dwarf
Lights: 1x300W LED bought from eBay. (this one). Lights are atm about 65cm away, 18/6 schedule.
Area: 100m wide old closet, freshly painted white. Only half of it is used at width since the right size contains drawers. Closet doors
Accessories: 20cm oscillating fan on the inside, thermometer/hydrometer, still waiting on 4 pH meters
My grow area:
Journal
I planted 2 seeds (1 AK and 1 NL) directly underneath 5mm of soil and used the wet towel method for the other 2. Both of them grew roots after about 12 hours so I planted them too, and 2 days later all of them had broken the surface.
Order in all days is AK-47 - Northern Light - Northern Light - Dwarf
Day 3
Day 5
Day 7
Day 10 (I managed to find white balance in the camera!)
As you can see the 3 of them seem to be growing nicely, however the Dwarf shows some kind of problem with slower growth and yellowish leaves. Until Day 10 it was about 20cm lower than the other plants (smaller pot), so it could be the light, so I added some extra height. Or maybe that strain doesn't like that soil that much. At the moment I am running 18/6 and watering every 3 days.
Thanks!
