Hey there farmers! my name is jose and i am beginning to grow my first ever plant, i am making this as a first part one of many entrys, and because it is my first grow i am just trying to legit get a sprout and thats all…i am thinking i will get it to sprout in the cell pot by using sun light, good timing, water and love. i am using basic all purpose meracle grow for now.
current equipment
(nothing but the things i got at lows for $20)
i plan on making this a big learning thing for myself, i have been doing tons of research watching youtube and reading some threads on here aswell. (pretty much every thing i know is from mr.kanucks grows)
NEXT POST WILL BE A PLANT UPDATE WITH PHOTOS
here are the notes i have so far( i know they need to be cleaned up)
please comment with any tips at all anything is helpful!
Quick comment on your note concerning the light schedule:
18 on/ 6 off -or- 24h on would be for autoflowering plants only. Autoflowering plant (as the word itself says so) don’t need a change in their lightcycle to trigger the flowering process. Therefore it might be useful running your lights longer than normal to help the plants grow bigger from start to finish.
For regular and feminised plants a 16 on / 8 off schedule is recommended during the vegetative stage. Then switch to 12 - 12 for flowering.
i dont currently have any lights but i do plan on getting some spider farm lights i think thats what they are called, 16 on 18 off yeah that sounds about right, thank you alot sdesaer420
Yep, 18/6 for photos in veg is fine too.
I usually find, for most standard 2021 LED lights, a 50% light intensity (relative to which light you use) for seedlings, 75% in veg and 100% in flower a good rule of thumb.
sadly no I am not a veteran but that on its own is amazing that they offer a discount for vets
feedback is great tho, its good to hear a review from a reputible source i will for sure use there tent and carbon filter. had my eye on that for a while
Sorry if I missed it but do you know whether your growing a photo or auto variety…regular or feminized seed ??
That would be good information for you to provide. If you’re not using Distilled or Reverse Osmosis water for your grow it may be tough depending on your water source…
Do you have a pH or maybe a ppm meter??
