Hi icmagers,
I’ll making some reports about this year's growing season while practice some English writing, I don't promise to be a regular poster, I'll just try to post pics every week.
My spot is a balcony (1m x 4m) I'm located at 43º North, in the Spanish coast, about 60 Km South away from Barcelona. Nice weather and a good amount of sun light hours, 15h max. at 21th June, so outdoor its fine unless you like very very long flowering strains, because October and November are very cloudy and December its dark, wet and cold. You only have to be careful in August because of the heat.
In this country, basically, the central government says that if the plantation is visible you can be fucked, so we have to keep a low profile. My set up blessed with about 60% of direct light, starting at midday until sunset, no tall lampposts, neighbors are ok (some are "fumetas" and growers too) so, it’s a cool spot.
I'll put my ladies in a mix of soil, coco and perlite, nothing fancy. Tap water here is shit as fuck, so I installed a little R/O water station, and mix the R/O tap water with Brita filtered tap water fifty-fifty as a result I have some good 7.5PH .5EC H2O. I’ve been using the K.I.S.S. method for two seasons (thanks to Ioni Botani) and worked fine for me.
About the strains and genetics, this season I'm going for a NL (RQS), two Black Valley (indica), two Ripper Haze (amnesia) and a G13, all from feminized seeds. About Royal Queen Seeds, last season I tried a Lemon Haze bean that they give in Spannabis, she gave me a crop of 75gr and I liked so much the plant that this year wanted to run RQS genetics again, unfortunately this time their WW and Amnesia Haze died right after germination (my fault), nut the Northern Lights seems to be fine. In the other hand, I watched some Ripper seeds reports, one of them saying that they work with four male plants to do their crosses, so I give them a chance, because seems to me good genetics, not all reversed females and shit, btw they don’t sell regular seeds so who knows. The last one it’s an unknown G13.
