If you ask me what your very first thunder was, man, I'm gonna say it was a total nightmare. Sleepless nights behind countless manuals, porridge in the head, convulsive calculations of kopeks in a pocket, a pillow in tears, but in soul – inexhaustible optimism. Dementia and bravery in its purest form. I started with the fact that I screwed in the corner of the room DNAT-400 (of course, without a reflector) and carefully placed under him his buckets with the ground with some strange self-made seeds, inherited as a gift from a friend and lying in the closet for several years. It was only a month later that I realized something had gone wrong. Then I assembled the frame of the rack and fitted it something like a heat insulation material is laid, from the canister has built some sort of reflector; completed the picture of an ordinary household fan rotating on the leg in the corner of this room dividing. And it grew! Without any fertilizers, measuring instruments! Increased intuition and parole, but grew up! I can say that I learned from my own mistakes and bitter experience, and it allowed me to walk through the critical values and understand – where you can go, and where – in any case. So, you have no money, knowledge, and zeal special, too. How to grow a crop with such questionable cards on hand and is it possible at all? You can! That's what my story is about. One Choose a variety How to grow cannabis at home? With pleasure! If you plan your first grove, start with the choice of varieties, the benefit of a huge selection. To proceed you need from the survivability of the strain and its vonyuchest. In other words, because you have no experience and hands so you have curves, you need a very tenacious strain to rastiha was difficult to kill, and because you have no money to buy a filter, the variety is needed with a minimum smell, so as not to sleep. For all these parameters, for example, a good fit good old Northern Lights auto fem from GHS. Important: In any case do not take photoperiodic varieties. Only autoflowering feminized! Two Fertilizers What if I told you you didn't need fertilizer? It sounds incredible, but it is. I am personally convinced that if you give the plant a lot of land (20-30 liters for avtika), the fertilizer in General no need. Moreover, I later learned that, without knowing it, I applied newfangled present method, which is called defoliation hunger! If quite simply, the rastiha, not already getting from the ground the necessary substances (as a rule, this happens with the beginning of flowering) begins to eat up itself. Foliage actively turns yellow, falls off, but the plant fades successfully because cones receive more light, not closed leaves. Of course, it looks awful and you will lose the weight of the crop, but we have agreed to act lazily and nosebridge, right? In the end, you get stoned and many times, that's what's important for the first wood. Three Soil Here it is necessary to approach responsibly. If we decided not to spend money on fertilizers, we can not save on the ground. Look at the characteristics of the soil. Make sure that it contains riding and lowland peat, sand, agroperlit (and preferably more), limestone (dolomite) flour. Sometimes the ground add a complete fertilizer, if you caught this – it's excellent. Now the chemical composition. If you see something like that... - nitrogen (N) 300-550 mg/l - phosphorus (P2O5) ≥ 30 mg/l - potassium (K2O) 450-850 mg/l - trace elements, - pH 5.5 to 6.5. ... that's what you need! Do not forget there to buy expanded clay, Yes - it is not praised, but nothing fatal it does not cause, checked. However, if you have all the bad finances, you can dial the usual land from some garden,but agroperlit and peat still have to mix. In addition, this land will have to fry in the oven to kill parasites and other unwanted elements. Perhaps the least labor-intensive and cheap will still fork out for good soil. Four Light Secret garden. Home is always better! Especially-cannabis! Another item of expenditure, without which well, can not do. As you want, but for a square meter you need a DNAT-400, though crack. A little advice: don't buy the ballast, IZU and specialized growshop. All this can be bought cheaper in conventional electrical shops, if we talk about the DNAT, which The sun brother, as you know. And on Youtube You can find a video where chewed – how to mount it. The three-year cope. Five Pots Here you can already save. Do not buy flower pots for 1500 rubles per one. This is bad manners and simply indecent. If laziness to write and wait groupage, then take a walk to the hardware store and buy black construction buckets with a capacity of 20 or 30 liters. At home, drill holes in the bottom, but more quantity. Then pour back the concrete block the size of a finger and a half, from top to pour your wonderful land. That's all. Tanks are ready. Six The area under cultivation Unfortunately, just hang the DNAT in the corner and grow – will not work. So you will need some no, but Boxing. Buy Reiki and the heat insulation material is laid. With the help of a screwdriver and a stapler you will collect the most primitive, but still Boxing, about 2 hours. Do not be afraid of cracks and light loss. In the absence of ducts and other hoods, the role of ventilation will perform just the same all these "holes". DNAT-400 will do its job. Me in the very first grove generally had one side of his man-made miracle to keep open all the time, it was summer and the inside was too hot under 40. Seven Water If you can buy cheap water with a normal ph (from 5,5 to 6,8) - it's good, do so. But if you want to save money and use tap water – it is better to defend it for a week before watering. Take care of it in advance. In principle, if you have a lot of land (and we took care of it in point number 3, hehe), the water with the ph curve will bring a little trouble, but not so much, because the earth has an excellent property to lower the ph to its level. But still it is desirable to control this moment. Suddenly you are lucky and you are flowing out of the tap water right? Ph-meter-a thing important and long-playing, get it. And if not, you act at your own risk and generally walk on the blade of a knife! Eight What else? Yes, that's almost all you need for lazy wood in a miserable way. However, we almost forgot about the reflector on the DNAT! It can be made from shit and sticks, that is – from beer cans or cans, which sell car oil. Only thoroughly wash and degrease it! Oh yeah. And you will need a fan! And do not forget to steal from the kitchen window or balcony thermometer! Important: do not be stingy on the machines and other electrical pribludy in the name of safety. We don't need short circuits and fires! Your cones are ready! Let a little-but their own! P.S. since my first wood happily passed for 5 years. Now I am the owner of elegant tents and other provisions with vundervaflâ, which cost something in the region of fifty dollars. But you know what? I remember my very first thunder with much more warmth and love than all the others. What was your first thunder like? Tell us about it in the comments!
