hey everyone. this will be my first grow and i'm planning to share it here day by day. I am and i will be in need of your precious advices. Ok, so.. -I'm using an empty closet as growing space it has a vertical space of 68 inches and 22x20 of horizontal -i have four pots, who dedicated themselves for growing mj. they have a diameter of 5.5 inches and their height is also 5.5 inches. -i have a 26 watt (i guess) lamp. the man who sold that to me said it was over 1500 lumens, i really don't know if it is enough. -i have a 18-18-18 plant food which i'll be using for veg stage and a pack of epsom salts. i'll buy another plant food before i switch to 12/12. -and lots of good quality soil. ..so i soaked those seeds (not any specific strain, just some seeds) overnight and in the morning, i buried them directly to moist soil. so i'm waiting for them to germinate. then i'll transplant the seedlings to those four pots.
here are two pics of my growing space and lighting system (i guess i should call that a "bulb", not a lighting system) and one of my pots. i know.. it's crappy but it's all i can offer atm. so i have no heating stuff, no ventilation and only aluminium foil (i've used the dull side to avoid hot-spots). i'm waiting for your responses, advices or i dunno maybe you can tell me something that i've done wrong. some of my questions are: -how often should i water them? -when should i start using plant food? -is my space enough?
I'm a new grower so not the one to offer advice just yet, but wanted to wish you luck. You'll find that it's so much FUN. Especially once they start peeking out of the ground. As you can see from the various posts, people love their plants! You'll pick up a lot of good info to your questions by reading a lot of the info here on GC.
