      I just bought a bunch of seeds. That feels so surreal. This weekend I’ll buy snacks and fly to space, and it’ll be legal.

        Tips from a fellow enthusiast:

        1.) Get a GOOD light. (Checkout the Thinkgrow Model-H for example).

        2.) Set up a good hydroponic system, and use timers for your water schedule. (I recommend drips system. And don’t forget to flush with water at least twice between feedings to prevent salt build-up)

        3.) Use as big of a pot as you can realistically get away with. The bigger your rootball, the bigger your plant and more nutrients it can take up.

        4.). Get a GOOD carbon filter and no one will ever know your growing…unless you open your tent…

        5.) Get a good tent! You want reflective walls, ventilation ports, cord access, etc.

        6.) and lastly…and most importantly, get good genetics. Autos are great for a trial grow, but nothing will ever beat a good photoperiod plant - better yield, better quality, and massive, beautiful, photo-worthy colas.

        Follow these basic tips, and I guarantee you’ll grow something better than you’ll be able to get at most dispensaries.

          Thank you 💕

          The first ones I’ll just throw onto my balcony. I’ll check how they manage and how I manage to keep them alive before investing into a proper setup. But I’ll get back to these tips. Thanks again 💖

            You and everyone else is going to be potting outdoors now that it’s legal, and if there is a single male anywhere within a mile or two of you (which is pretty much guaranteed in the city), you’ll end up getting pollinated. I would highly recommend you don’t do that…BUT, if you do, at least grow two plants so you can compare if you notice any issues in one of your plants.

            G’luck!

          I just had a look at the light. That thing is way bigger than the tent I’m looking at right now. I guess I’ll check for a smaller one.
