Cat's Peace.
I come through this thread to document my attempts to plant Cannabis and its resulting success or failure.
Having been unemployed for more than 6 months - and with no desire to have a job - the structure is far from ideal, with simple and quite humble equipment. I think I can make up for this with a lot of understanding of how soil and plants work, developing a natural IPM approach.
Soil is the most organic possible. I'd never like to buy anything inside a bag - no bottles will be used here - but it'll come with time - and a new place to live in the near future - as soon as I get a new job. I'm not measuring spoons and cups anymore, just mixing by eye. EWC (made with fruits and vegetables leftover), perlite, vermiculite, coco fiber, bone and kelp meal, dust rocks, oyster and eggshells and commercial compost are in the mix. The last one introduced all sorts of pests in the garden - thrips, white flies, aphids, root aphids, winged aphids, fungus gnats, spider mites, caterpillars. Along with that, I just found out that types of viroids are also present here. So must pay a lot of attention, since no poison is allowed here, not even neem.
Lights are not the best, but for flowering there will be proper horticultural lights from Vivosun (Samsung 281 leds). In Vega, just a third is Osram 5050, the other ones are simple leds. Yes, they work.
The vegetative chamber is 3 x 3 x 4 feet.
The flowering chamber is 3 x 3 x 9 feet.
Both handmade with PVC pipes and double-sided plastic visqueen.
The plants sprouted and took a long time to start growing. I used peat + perlite only for germination, perhaps this is not a good idea.
