I am starting this as my own little record of my first grow. Hopefully others will be able to point out any mistakes and help me to get to a succesful harvest! This will probably be a boring grow to most of you pros, but as I am a total newbie I feel its important to note the details to help me figure out what I am doing as I go!
This past Friday I received my first seed shipment from Attitiude. 10 NLxBigBud seeds plus the 5 free g13 power skunk (which I will save for a future grow! Don't know too much about them). I have to give Attitude credit, everything went super smooth, I live in the NW U.S. and it took about 9-10 days to get them. I used their stealth.
I will be starting with 5 of the NLxBB seeds. I just put them in a cup of tepid water covered with saran wrap to pre soak them, and have that sitting on my router in the closet, so temps there are upper 70's, and dark. I figure I will give the seeds 24 hours presoak. I haven't decided what to do from that point though! I would prefer not to go the wet paper towel route, I am paranoid about touching and moving these little critters anymore than I have to! I am inclined to just go ahead and plant each seed after the presoak into moist soil (tip pointing up, about an 1/8" down), and hope for the best.
Will be going to the nursery today and picking up FF Ocean Forest, some perlite. I think I will mix up that a little for the the seeds first home. Maybe 80/20 soil to perlite in a plastic cup with holes in the bottom to drain.
I am hoping to get 2 females, will be growing under a 4 or 600 watt HPS, (which I have to order from HTG) in a grow space that measures about 3' x 4' x 8'. This will be in an outdoor shed. So heating and cooling will be issues but I figure I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
