Well this is my first time growing really, and lo and behold i am living in africa. Sounds cool right? Yea it is pretty cool, but finding reliable growing supplies has been a hassle. A fucking hassle. So i guess i'll start and tell you all what ive got. Ive got:
3x1.5 feet closet.
Fan.
White walls inside of closet.
250w hps. I have had to replace the transformer once already in 3 weeks of using it. It overheated quite a bit and burnt out the connections. There must be a god in africa that decides when shit breaks and stops functioning. Example, my elavator is on its fourth week of not working. I live on the 9th floor.
4 1 gallon pots, each with a 2 week old in each.
4 water bottle slices with 2 weeks old.
5 water bottle slices with 1 weeks old.
I am waiting for my 1 week olds to get bigger to decide which ones to put into the 4 more gallon pots i can fit. The oldest plants are from a decent bag from the US. and the younger 5 are from marijuana here, its Bedouin green, Bango, not that good because its always seedy as fuck, but it does get you high. So if i can get rid of the seeds problem it should turn out alright. So far the little guys look beautiful, there are two of them that catch my eye whenever i peak in to look.
Ive got them all on a 16/8 cycle, doing well so far.
They are in a mixture of peat, river silt and styrofoam, which has proven well so far, i wish i could have found some perlite but to no avail, all the little gardening places in my neighborhood only used styrofoam. So here are some pictures
