Hi guys,
I am growing my first greenhouse attempt. I will preface this by saying I was a professional greenhouse grower for ornamental and bedding plants. Not hooch, just flowers! I grew 9 plants last summer and they were planted very late and I still got 1/4p out of it. I use it for pain and sleeping. It works.
Here is a photo of one plant from my first grow last summer:
I ordered some auto/fems and planted five seeds in Jiffy pellets; four have germinated in two days. Awaiting the other one to germinate. They are in a clear container to maintain moisture, sitting on a heating element for seed germination. Here is what that looks like:
I plan to grow these in a small greenhouse which will be inside of a larger greenhouse which will be 10x20 feet. The smaller will be 7x7 feet, enough certainly for five plants.
Soil will be mixed by me using the following:
1/2 peat
1/4 certified organic inoculated compost
1/4 rock sand from decomposed granite or lavasand
To that, I add per 3 gallons a handful or two of granular certified organic fertilizer. Since phosphorous does not move easily in soils for root uptake, I add a dusting of soft rock phosphate. It doesn't hurt to throw in a handful of epsom salts which is just magnesium. Mychorriza fungi is absolutely beneficial for a good root system with a lot of added area to uptake nutrients and water which root hairs would otherwise have difficulty attaining. Worm castings do not burn plants. The level of nitrogen is so incredibly low and in a form which is absolutely more beneficial to soil organisms than most anything. Feeding plants never works. Feeding soil always works. When you have soil full of micro organisms they will SET you plants on FIII YAAA :firedevil:hahahahaha!
Meantime, I have not yet planted my germinated seeds in their containers yet, but when I do they will be in a minimum of ten gallon containers. I want to see if it makes a big difference so one plant will be in a five gallon pot.
stay tuned...
