In my second attempt, I recently converted the downstairs bathroom to a grow room and have 4 White Banners that all sprouted and have been moved to Dixie cups with a coir/soil/rice husk/fertilizer mix. They're about 2 inches tall. I have a grow light on for 18 hours, 72 degrees and mist them daily.
Over the summer I grew 4 Northern lights outdoors with decidedly mixed results. It was a cool, wet summer and I'm pretty sure the plants were severely over-watered. I also experimented with soil and a "fire and Ice" fertilizer that a USMB farmer told me was his "secret sauce" for vegetables. I moved them back inside to harvest. As an experiment I let 2 of them "resprout" after cutting them back to harvest. I was totally surprised by the ginormous unmistakable "pot" smell from the new sprouts, gorgeous trichomes. They're all curing and usable and Mrs. Crusader and I like the buzz. There were too many variables to determine that the soil & Fertilizer mix didn't work so well, but - so far - I'm happy with the coir mix
I've read "Brave New Weed" - no growing tips, but loads of information - and have subscribed to Mr Canuks Grows and one or two other grower Videos.
My wife and kids were initially vociferously against this new hobby, but they all now have resigned themselves to me as Walter White. I'm good with plants, in my office I have last years Christmas poinsettias still with red leaves.
It's a fun hobby and one that I enjoy. Always open to discuss.
