Well, I’m a complete beginner and inexperienced in cultivation. I planted “flower” seeds bought locally, intending to see what would happen.
It’s been fun and curious to watch the plants grow.
I identified one as female, the other hasn’t shown its sex yet (I think). I’m using the app’s AI a lot to get some tips on how to care for them in the most organic and limited way possible, as I can’t afford the correct items for better cultivation. Anyway, I’ll leave some photos of how they are now and I welcome tips and positive criticism. I’d also like to hear stories from curious people like me.
Welcome here @Cufuzeras, I think you will find the necessary information you are looking for here. Everyone is happy to help here, you just have to ask. It would also be great if you showed a few pictures of your plants.
I would think about postponing until you have at least the basics, a grow medium, nutrients, environment, lighting, and knowledge. Without these, you could be fighting the plant for the entire grow, and you may get frustrated enough to quit. I wish you a great grow.
Hello there, post some photos if you want, that way we can get a better idea of how to help you. For now, I’m not sure if I understood correctly, but are you looking to make homemade fertilizers so you don’t have to buy them? Or are you referring more to lighting equipment, extraction, and such? There are all kinds of people here, we can surely help you.
Plants look really healthy so far. If you want cheap nutrients research Knf (Korean natural farming). Things like fpj and ffj will get you through veg and flower for decent results.
they are beautiful, they have neither deficiencies nor excesses, it truly surprises me since you are a beginner, I congratulate you and keep it up.
if you want some advice (although you don’t need it) it would be:
tie strings to the edge of the pot and open the branches to separate them (so when the sun rotates, the branches don’t block each other’s light)
oh yes, and lastly, it just occurs to me to warn you that cannabis likes the substrate (soil) to be lighter / spongier / airier. (you will get the roots to grow faster, and therefore it will eat more, drink more, and grow more) usually a coco brick is bought, which is very very cheap, it is moistened and mixed with the soil (watch a video)
but I truly congratulate you, they are very beautiful and very healthy, they are happy plants.
I hope to see you more around here, there are sections of the forum where we all upload photos every week, we share our things, problems, stories.
the forum community is very good people, they always support and help, plus you can also help and share things.
regarding cheap nutrients, for vegetation I don’t know what you used but it went very well because no deficiencies are seen, for flowering, I PERSONALLY, use mineral, NOT ORGANIC.
if you are interested it is called MPK, and it is very very cheap, 500gr cost me a little less than 20 euros, but very few grams are added per watering, so it will last you a lifetime, if you want less quantity and spend less, I must recommend the Chinese page that starts with ALI, there you will find small bags for 2 or 3 dollars. it usually comes with nitrogen 0 phosphorus 52 potassium 34, NPK 0-52-34.
you can also buy algae, etc, etc, etc.
were you referring to this with cheap nutrients?
or would you prefer us to help you with organic ones to prepare at home?
Yeap and spider mites.
Its in ganjah growing 101, you said your a beginner you gotta know about spider mites (and other critters dat eat da plants squirls, rabbits, slugs, ants).
spiders aRe great, just not spidermites.
