Welcome all, as the title suggests I really have no idea what I am doing. Just a man with some seeds, a dream, and the willingness to try and fail to hopefully succeed eventually. So far the journey has not been pretty. Beware I can be long winded.
The story so far. I started off with gathering some seeds from some locally acquired bud. I have somewhat of a mentor in this area who encouraged me to start my own grow. Honestly I just put some seeds in a paper towel, wet them, and put them under a kitchen sink light having no idea what would happen or the journey I was about to head down. (spoiler: I am idiot and you will have a headache from my stupidity as well lol.)
So far it was going well, I got the seeds to germinate, so I transferred them to cups with just some basic “grow your seeds” dirt from the local hardware store.
So far we were going well. this process took a few weeks getting there. It was slow going as at the time I did not have a grow light or any equipment what so ever. But we got them to come up!
Fast forward a few weeks. I bought a “cheap” grow lamp off of amazon. still not knowing what I was doing plants were very tall as they were trying to reach to the light, (yes that is a racoon skull, my wife likes dead things)
In an attempt to get more light out of this tiny useless lamp I deicide to use an emergency reflective heat blanket and put it in a bucket as a makeshift tent so to speak to help reflect light and help the plants grow. Yes I know it was a stupid idea but I was doing the best I could with as little as possible, just unsure if this growing thing was even worth trying.
At this point everything while hobbling along, was starting to go well. The plants had started to produce leaf’s. They seemed to be doing okay in the bucket around this time is when i started to think this might be a good idea and something worth investing in. I started thinking about getting a better light, possibly a tent depending on how the grow light went.
Fast forward another week and I got an amazing deal on a 600w vivosun led light and 4in inline duct fan with carbon filter for 100$. I have finally acquired an actual grow light.
So at this point still no tent but its going somewhat well. I got the light setup with my cooler/bucket/blanket combo.
At this point the grow, seems to be going well so of course its time to buy a tent right? lets save that for a part 2!
If you have read this far i appreciate you.
