To recap: My first ever was three plants in my closet using a DWC hydroponic system and a 400 watt switchable light. The harvest resulted in buds that were so dry, wispy, and devoid of THC that the whole thing was basically a waste, apart from the considerable educational value. My diagnosis (based, in no small part, on input from this forum) is that (1) I harvested too early and (2) my plants were burnt from being too close to the light.
I am getting ready to undertake my second attempt at this and wanted to share my thinking. Ive got five seeds of Millennium bud left and am determined to figure out this whole cultivation thing. I would like to share my thoughts with you all and see if you think Im on the right track.
Medium: I am going to try a soil grow this time. It seems more complicated in many ways than a hydro grow but I think the logistics of soil will work better, particularly since I want to try LST. (Im trying to educate myself on organic soil growing in pots. Any resources you might be able to point me towards would be appreciated.)
Method: As mentioned, Im going to try LST to keep everything short and squat and to maintain a relatively uniform canopy. I would have liked to try SOG and tried for an earlier harvest but my understanding is that growing from seed makes this inappropriate.
After this grow, I ought to have at least a couple of females that would be suitable for cloning. At that point, Id like to try ScrOG perhaps.
Does this make sense?
