Here I GROW ......
Have been setting the stage for several months and today the electrician finished his work .....
Out comes my equipment - new tent, lights the whole nine yards ..... growing organic like I did when I grew a single plant some 34 years ago and a gorilla grow or two over the years ...... but I have been gardening for some 44ish years ....
One can read all they want about Autos but to really understand you’ll need to roll up your sleeves and get dirty ....
My soil has been aging and I’ve got my seeds / equipment / desire / passion and a plan .....
About 45 minutes ago I dropped the seeds - Will soak 24-36 hours and then into the dirt .....
No paper towel method or transplant either ..... I’ll plant the seed inside a toilet paper roll set down into the soil, soil will be inside roll too .... I’ve discovered it is easy to keep seed damp as the toilet paper roll holds the moisture inside the tube and the root can find its way down and into the pot plus you don’t water inside the holder after seed is inside, keeping moist outside works and you avoid moving dirt when watering .... meanwhile the roll breaks down quickly and allows roots to spread out but not before th tap root digs deep into the soil, I’ve used this method in the garden and potted plants with great success, I dislike transplanting and possible damage to the fine hairs on the tap root and those peat starter pots never seem to break down quick enough so I experimented it works ....
I’ve got two five gallon and one 3 gallon ..... the five gallon have mixture of OF / Coco / EWC / HF along with some bat, seabird and kelp while the three gallon has mostly Coco with some EWC and minor amounts of HF / OF ..... I’ll have different feeding regimen for the coco and neither will get anything but rain water for 10-15 days then comes the juice .....
Will post pics as I “grow along” ......
