ok guys, this is a new realm for me but one ive always wanted and said i would get into.
i was doing just fine in the beginning, seeds sprouted leaves are nice and lush then after a while and now that they are at least two weeks from being root bound, i was wondering what do i do now?
im growing GREEN PEPPERS, EARLY JALAPENO PEPPERS, RADISHES and NON HEADING COLLARDS. Ive got at least 10-12 of each one in the containers and they are getting pretty big. i cleaned out my larger flowering cab in order to move them in their own containers and finish them out. as i was sweeping up the last bit of dust it hit me that i really don't know the firs thing about growing veggies! (i honestly laughed for about a good 5 minutes at this lil factoid).
for starters i guess my Q's are:
- do any of the variety of veggies i am growing behave like cannabis plants?
-do i grow them to a descent height and then switch 12/12?
-would veggies benefit more from MH or HPS to during the. . . i guess "flowering" stage?
-do any one of the varieties i have even grow in stages?
- i have 1gl and 3gl grow bags, would one be better than the other to replant them in, does it even matter?
-what nutes should i be using more/less of and at what times? (i have budswel and super tea, my medium is soil less organic)
so far ive grown SSH twice with great success, had a bad one when i decided to take on a partner/mentee (t'was the worst because i had some clone only strains gifted to me *DABNEY BLUE*ORANGE BUD*THE WHITE *CHEESE the UK original) and things went bad while waiting for this friggin putz to. . . anyway) and realized that, that is something i"ll never do again.
i just finished trimming/hanging the rest of the plants that survived this guys black thumb and things smell and look great (normally i take pics of my grows but between dealing with the stress, spidermites and gnats that i got from this asshole i was too worn and ashamed ). i wanted to get the veggies started and finished in the interim of waiting for my PRINCESS DIESEL moms to get a lil big bigger so i can take an abundance of clones.
ive been online trying to find out as much as i can, but ive run into the same info time and time again which is very vague and basic/beginner info. im trying to find out when and how to do what needs to be done so i can get some produce going.
i really cant help laughing at myself as i think that i can grow a (as ignorant as it is) illegal plant and dont seem to know how to grow a legal one(s)
could someone, anyone where i need to be in order to get things started and on the way?
