Hellow GWE community,
This is my first attempt at growing. I plan on keeping this post updated with how it goes as well as to hear any advice, suggestions, or whatever. I just hate keeping things to myself and this community seems to be very open, friendly, and very knowledgeable, also know as the perfect space for me to share = ). I hope this goes well.
For this grow I decided to start with bagseed. I germinated my seeds using the paper towel method. The seeds were placed in 5oz solo cups on 2/12/17 24hrs after germinating. The seeds sprouted over the next 2 days. I started with 7 plants but have pulled the plug on 3. The remaing 4 plants have been transplanted into 1 gallon smart pots. The plants are in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil. I have red that this soil is "hot" so icwill not need any nutrients for a while. When the time for nutes comes i will be using the General Hydroponics Flora Trio ( which i dont even know how to use or in what order yet, but hey thats why I am here for.) I am using the Kind xl1000 LED approximately 30 inches above the plants. The current settings on the light are A: 20 B: 65 C: 65. A represents red spectrum, b is the blue spectrum, c is the white spectrum, and there are also some other diodes and spectrum that are invisible to the human eye. I was using spring water that ranged in ph from 6.5 to 7, i was advised to aim towards 6 and have since adjusted.
As of today it has been 19 days since the seeds have sprouted. I hope to have an amazing experience. I am so excited to get this rolling ( both the grow and getting to learn more about this community.) I will have pictures i took today posted below. Once again thanks for any advice and comments.
