Hello AFN!

It has been around 8 months since I even considered growing my own weed. I didnt join any forum at the time but I did a lot of research. I didnt want to join ASAP and bother people with noob questions. I gained some basic knowledge and I started growing. It wasnt until the end of August when I started my growing journey. Luckily I managed to harvest couple of autos week ago. They survived harsh conditions brought by October and November.

It was both satisfying and hard because I had to do it outdoors and I lost a lot of time while searching for the site. There were also other problems because I live with my family so I didnt have all the privacy I needed. But I would always find a solution and it all gone unnoticed (for now). Also I needed to use autoflowering seeds because of the short growing window and simplicity.

I hope that now you get it why I joined AFN :) . I found some great info over here and I was especially happy to find out about drying buds in paper bags. Man, it saved me a lot of time, money and nerves and thank you guys for all kind of contribution. I would like to contribute to the AFN too and there are some things I had in mind:

-Growing outdoor with restricted privacy, space and time (growing guide; if there isnt some so far,but if it is I would try to improve it)
-Make it simple by using organic ferts, constructing a protection for seedlings (I would like to spread the word about usefullness of using the same pot from seed to harvest, correct me if I am wrong but I think I read multiple times that people recommend that), constructing 'device' for effective and cheap germinating of the seeds

and everything else I can remember. I wouldnt do it soon but rather some other time.

That would be all for now, I am already preparing for the next season so maybe I will post some of the questions around here. Thank you once again and I hope we will all have great time around here.
 
Hello Badger, cool name and avatar !

Thanks for doing a great intro. What varieties did you grow. Got any pictures ? It sounds like you have learned a lot in a short time. There is nothing like "doing it" to learn quickly. Not sure where in the world you are, but if you are UK, check out my outdoor grow link below. It may help.

Keep posting chum, I hope to see you around. Welcome from a fellow animal, eP.
 
Thanks dude! I grew skunk#1, cream caramel and northern lights all automatic. I did it in rocky terrain in mediterranean climate in soil (as it turned out - very small amounts of soil in that type of terrain) but I think I should have used pots instead. Still...worthy experience. Next year I am planing to use 20l (5 gal) airpots...
 
Mahalo and welcome badger. Sounds like you've got some good ideas brewing in your head. Glad to see you use organic goodies, and good ol' diy skills. I wouldn't mind hearing about you outdoor privacy. I grow in, and out doors, and I'm always looking for ways to improve my grow. In general I grow my plant in the same pot seed to finish, auto or photo, just seems right to me really.

You got a great group of people to share with, ask, or explain too here. If you have any question feel free to ask. If you ever have a plant emergency go to the infirmary here. The people that advise there are very good, and pretty fast to answer. Till later take care.
:cheers:

Unfortunately I deleted all of my growing pics from my first grow due to being parranoid and now I regret it so bad. I will check if my gf still has some that I sent to her...
