    New grow almost ready

    Since my harvest in early November, I've been planning like a farmer plans for her next crop.
    I tried Bitcoin and got bit, didn't have the right kind of cards, didn't have the $$ they wanted to make the exchange rate right. They couldn't validate my ID, so I gave up. Not something I usually do, but I did it. I'm learning to choose the battles I fight and this was one battle I chose to walk away from, after 5 hours of patiently attempting. I was trying to buy from Seedsman, so I paid cash, got 15% off for that, ordered a small amount but enough to rate 4 free seeds. Hey that's 2 more crops for me. I think I have a total of 14 seeds coming and that'll be fine with me. It's better than 5 you need a magnifying glass to see and only two germinate and they are and will always remain a mystery strain since that's what grew. The mystery seeds.
    I've ordered and gotten 2-5 gallon fiber pots, and a new digital ph meter, have KindSoil en route, have part of my grow medium (will get the other part tomorrow when I'm in civilization), I have another 300w led light ordered. The seeds shipped 2 or 3 days ago so everything should be coming in at the same time. I'm going to have to increase my grow space. That'll be done this week sometime between doctor apps, and physical therapy.
    I can't remember what seeds I ordered, I don't think it really matters right now, heck it won't matter when they are harvested. I know they were auto-feminized. One was by 00 seeds, I hope they are reliable, because I ordered a set of seeds, 3 strains, 2 seeds each strain. One I ordered was seedling to harvest in 60 days. We'll see.
    My excitement grows more by the day, I keep hearing Carly Simon singing Anticipation!

    I hope everyone has a good holiday season, they are calling for snow here in Dixie! If it snows I'll build a snowman.
    Current grow:
    2-300w led lights
    1- 60w cfl for germination
    2- 5 gal fiber pots
    Kind Soil 5lbs per 5 gal pot
    Compost (80%)/perlite (20%)
    Seeds:
    Shaolin Master auto/fem Harvested
    Kush auto/fem (planted 5/13/18) Harvested
    Sweet Soma auto/fem ready to go into her home soon (kind soil)
    Northern Lights auto/fem, put in soil today, waiting for forever home soon.

    Hey blue, sounds like you are getting set up!!! It's always exciting waiting for the seeds to arrive. Funny, you think of Carly Simon, I think of The Music Man: Oh ho the Wells Fargo wagon is a comin down the street.... ;-}

    Sorry you couldn't get bitcoin to work; it's a bitch...

      Oh man, can't hardly wait!

      Bitcoin is definitely a hassle but one other option is to transfer the money direct from your bank account (as long as you don't feel uncomfortable giving CoinBase (or whoever) that information).

      Excited for your grow to start! (Also, gotta get my Kind Soil order in soon!)
      My first grow

        aloner, I don't deal with banks. I hates them I really do. So I couldn't transfer money if I wanted to. I figure that for right now cash is king and I'm going to use it. I can't wait to get started on the grow, just waiting for everything to come in and get started.

        I read that on the Kind Soil website. I read everything at least twice I think. And I know that I have y'all to fall back on in case I have questions. This place is a Godsend. I never really listened to Pearl Jam, but would probably recognize their music.

        Morning Blue, you can't repeat that enough about no runoff, it's real easy to get runoff if you don't pay attention, I know I did it several times by accident, when you do you wash all the nutrients away. 7 cups of KindSoil equals 1 pound. 3 gallon pots you want 21 cups of KindSoil in your pots.
        The one other important thing is to make sure you ph your water to 6.2 -6.8. With 6.4 the magic ph.
        Your gonna do great if you just do those 2 things, don't water to runoff and keep your PH 6.4 ,
