I started with the damp paper towel in a baggie for germination. I put it in a 2.5 inch plastic seedling pot with a vented/domed lid when the taproot was about 1/8 inch and buried it root down about 1/8 inch.
Then life threw me a curveball and I had to leave town for a couple days. Needless to say… the plant started stretching toward the window and fell over because I didn’t have a timer on my light yet. Was just using a led grow bulb in a clamp light from the big box store while waiting for my Ionframe and Cloudforge humidifier to arrive. And it was turned off when I left.
So… this is where I am at now on day 15 transplanting to a larger space. Am planning on using the SCROG method to see if I can get it to fill up a 4x4 Grow tent. I also plan to use the LST method as much as possible. I know that training should start as early as possible. I have a few years of experience with training Bonsai Trees and training cannabis looks similar from what I have researched and seen on YouTube. Should be a cakewalk for me to SCROG it out to fill a 4x4 tent. I plan on posting pics and making Videos with my 4k video camera. Will update this thread as often as I can.
My plan is to start growing for medical use. I’m a 53yo disabled US Marine Veteran on a fixed income, but have some savings I’m using to get this started. I’m doing a trial run with this Godfather OG because I found seeds available locally and bought them on an impulse buy. I plan on making tinctures and edibles. I have PTSD, Degenerative disk disorder, arthritis, chronic pain, , depression, and have high probability to develop Alzheimer’s/Dementia as both my parents have developed symptoms. Any suggestions on a strain and techniques to make tinctures and edibles would be appreciated. I’m thinking Harlequin because of the 1:1 cbd/thc and the relaxing high that lets you function normally to get through a stressful day. Not that I do much but sit around most days. (I’m medically retired) I do get stressed out over simple things (OCD) and I’m a bit sensitive to THC.
I just moved and have a few other expenses that have a bit of priority right now. I plant to order a 4x4 tent, ventilation and fans in a couple weeks… Am waiting on the new AC Infinity AI+ controller system to come out later this month and don’t see the need for a tent yet or ventilation as my plant is on day 15 and I have time and am still doing work in the room I plan on using to grow in. It is an approximately 7ft x 11ft room with a 4x7 closet with no door. I plan on dividing it into separate climate controlled rooms with a couple of tents and using the closet for drying/curing and my supplies such as my supplements, tools, etc. (I’m renting an apartment so can’t go crazy with the room as I plan on moving in a couple years. (I hate Illinois!) Highest taxes in the US and corrupt politicians. Plan on moving to Alaska, Missouri, Kentucky, or Tennessee Not sure yet. I want to be in the hills or mountains with my nearest neighbor at least a few miles away.
Here are some pics of my transplant. Any advice or suggestions? Does it look healthy? Should I start feeding nutrients? Should I start misting the leaves? All input is welcomed and appreciated.
