Window Grow! - Auto Purple Bud, Sensi Seeds, Amsterdam - New Growers - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

CamJ · 02-06-2018, 06:33 PM

Hi guys! Brand new grower from Northern Ireland, living in Amsterdam. Got speaking to some of the guys at Sensi Seeds and the Cannabis College which made me want to learn to grow instead of just buying all the time. When you can just buy it on any corner, you tend to end up buying more, would you believe it? .

So to begin, a little window grow. Still quite cold here but the flowers are breaking and the sun is shining through my South Eastern facing windows quite a lot. I don't smoke a huge amount, so before anyone states the obvious, I know I won't get a huge yield. I'm just learning the ropes and having some fun for the time being. An indoor tent is my goal.

I've got me some Autoflowering Purple Bud. I've germinated two seeds with the towel trick and now they've been on pots on my window sill for about 36 hours. Waiting patiently..

Any tips, tricks, help, advice etc is welcome! Also any other Dammers out there, shout out, keen to see other local grows.

woudlnt put them in plain sight in the front window

For the time being while they are germinating it's OK but when they sprout I will move them to where the picture is being taken from - out of plain sight but still getting all the sun.

Leads on to a very quiet street anyway above ground. Thanks though.

Update Day 8. Seeds have sprouted above soil. Haven't kicked seed off yet but are about 1.5-2cm above ground.

They are currently getting 8-9 hours sun light, and then I sit them under my 50w LED hand light just for something a little bit extra. I know very amateurish, but I guess it's a little helping hand right?

Given them very small dosage of DCM Tomato Nutrients today.

Any tips to move things along? I don't have a cabin or anywhere to push air too, so potentially could upgrade LED light but can't find something that looks subtle enough to just hang out in my living room without being spotted from outside..

Anyone out there..haha

He is right, check the laws. It's only tolerated, but they can still fu@# you...

Trust me guys, they couldn't care less about some bloke growing a couple for personal use, nor could they care about the thousands of tourists who walk around blazing one on the streets or canals.

"
The cultivation of cannabis is an offence, but 5 plants for personal use is tolerated. However, there is limit of one technical apparatus, for example, a hydroponics grow tent, grow light, or extractor system as two or more of those would suggest professional cultivation. Unfortunately, indoor growing generally requires two or more apparatuses.

Anyone found with 5 plants, but who is not a professional grower, will have the items confiscated, but will not be prosecuted."

However, when they grow big enough to see, they won't be in plain sight, as there is a bigger chance of being robbed, than the police knocking on the door.

Update for Day 21. Pictures taken today. Now around 3/4 inches tall and getting taller for sure, but leaf is taking quite some time, I suppose as one would expect.

The better of the two was the seedling which kicked off the seed casing first, the other took a while and I had to give it some help as mentioned, so it seems to be struggling a little. Any tips?

They have been getting water every two days with a very small amount of recommended Tomato food (Just ramping that up, scared to give them too much).

Got to admit, I have ordered a 300W LED for my cupboard and a 6" Fan too, haha, I'm too impatient!

Hey Cam! Don't worry, the first couple weeks are usually pretty slow. Things will start moving along quickly. Have you looked into a cardboard box set up? With the LED light you ordered, a cardboard box and a couple pc fans, you could have a very successful grow. Of course if you already bought a 6" fan, my guess is you will be in a full grow tent set up by the time those girls are flowering. The only addictive quality of about marijuana is growing it. Sounds like you are hooked!
