I'd like to say "Hi". I just ordered a box and the basics to go in it, and will pick it up tomorrow from my local, lovely, perfectly legal grow shop : ) I live in Prague and here, having up to 5 plants is legal so I figured why not? I'm actually more excited about growing than smoking, in fact I think I'll cry when I first harvest my little friends... but there you go. It'll be the perfect project for a long cold winter. Nice to meet you all ~~~
Welcome, it's nice to know that someone from somewhere where security issues and legality won't be much of a problem as it is for someone who live's in a place where germinating a single seed is jail-time gets as excited as we do to see our little friends grow old and die. And for their beautiful life, we smoke the fruits of their labour. I wish you all the success in the world, you deserve it. I hope I find your journal and can follow your grow. Good luck.
Very Bohemian. As in: laid back, non-violent pleasure-loving types. Pretty nice, I guess - I'm not an expert. There's a lots of legal, local growers and a couple of full-scale grow shops. The nice thing too is not having to worry so much about smoking it. Though almost everyone only smokes tobacco joints : (
So I guess I'm nearly there, and it's been smooth sailing. I bought one of these at my local grow shop. Set it up myself - easy enough. Once I learned how to wire things... I wanted to do the whole thing with no help from my husband. Bought some Fruit Spirit seeds from Greenhouse, and a few Skunk #1 from Sensi seeds. They thrived. Literally sprang out of the seed cases, after a day in wet towels on a slight heat source. There are 3 pots in the closet. Got some free nutes at a hemp fair. Both Atami and Hesi were giving them away. Those must have really worked - The Fruit Spirits are supposed to be 50-60 cm, and they were already 70 when I realized I really ought to switch the light cycle. The only mishap was not flowering them much sooner. Only days ago did I learn about the "grow them til their 1/3 the height you want to harvest at" rule. So these are way too tall already, and I had to tie them down, which was not the original plan. Stress after flower - not a good idea, I've heard. But we'll see what happens. If it takes a little longer that's fine, I hardly ever smoke anyway so I'm in no rush. Now it's one week into 12/12. I'm a bit stunned at the ease of it all. First grow, complete newb, happy camper. Just wanted to share - since people come on to bring up their problems : )
Emphatogen, I am currently study abroad in Prague and I think I may know which grow shop you are talking about. Is it located in Prague 3? I have only been here a week so I have not had a chance to check it out yet but I definitely going to stop by there very soon.
