Hi all
I read the Cannabis Grow Bible & built my own simple hydroponic system & my own light source using 2 hps 250w lamps, 2 because of redundancy if one lamp fails. There is also a timer installed on the lamp system.
I have ordered some White Russian from Serious Seeds but had numerous problems arranging payment & am waiting for the shipment.
In the interim, I took a chance & tried some seeds from a local crop from Swaziland called Rooibaard or Redbeard.
Most of the seeds germinated & so I transplanted the seeds into the only 2 grow mediums I could find, namely Oasis & potting soil.
Each one planted has survived & the seedlings are growing very quickly.
The only fertiliser I could get is Multifeed & I have only fed a small amount into the water for fear of over fertilising. I plan to increase the dose gradually until the plants thrive.
It may be premature but it seems the plants in the soil are greener at this stage.
I do realise that having 3 seeds per pot is too much, but hey, I can always transplant into my garden. My garden is private.
I have grown seeds a few times in the past just for laughs & having a massive tree was a gas.
Here a a few photos, I will update as there is progress. I cant wait for my seeds to arrive, at least I will have a bit more experience in growing.
The 1st pic is of the seeds (obviously not sinsimella) Most of them germinated in cotton wool
