After almost a decade of waiting, I'm finally getting a chance to grow my own and can't wait to share my journey with ya'll.
Here's my setup:
- Timber 600w CXB3590 4x4
- 4 ft x 4 ft x 6.8 ft tent
- 4 inch intake and 4 inch exhaust
- KIS Biochar water only soil
- 12 seed clover mix from buildasoil as my cover crop
- european nightcrawlers incoming this week
As far as nutrients goes, I'm only going to be feeding with aloe, coconut water, a few compost teas and possibly a topdress with buildasoil's craft blend.
Genetics, I chose Mephisto, due to the overwhelming amount of good reviews I read. I picked two sweet n sour, and two strawberry nuggets to germ, but only 3/4 popped and they got mixed up during the process, so won't know what they are until they grow out.
To germinate, I soaked the seeds in water with a tiny bit of aloe powder mixed in for 12 hours, and then they went to paper towels. The 3/4 seeds all popped within 48 hours and then were transplanted into their final homes, 7 gallon smart pots. I germinated a 4th Ghost Toof, which popped in 24 hours .
The first 3 days I sprayed 2-3 times daily with water with a tiny bit of aloe powder mixed in. By the 4th day I realized I forgot to pre-drench the soil before planting so I decided to pour in a gallon into each pan so the pots could wick up. Someone advised me to not worry too much about over watering with the biochar, so I decided to water in 48ozs, with aloe and coconut mixed in. I know, I know, that's a ton of water but the plants were fine and actually seemed to enjoy the drench. Although, I did think I over watered one of them, but today, she exploded after another decent watering. The pots felt super light this morning so I watered in another 48oz with another 40z poured into the pan. I feel an explosion of growth coming
